(4,671 posts)I've never been much of a royal watcher, but visited a random website to see close up pics of the lovely tiara she wore. It was a fun, lighthearted, very civil site with kind posters who just liked to oooh and ahhh over the fashion choices and gorgeous jewelry of all the royal families around the world. I became a daily visitor/lurker.
Then, a couple months ago (in Dec, I think it was?), the admin suddenly shut down commenting and put the site on hiatus. Pretty sure it was because of an influx of nasty and racist comments about Meghan.
It got bad when she announced her pregnancy and kept getting worse.The comments weren't from regulars, but from random assholes who apparently had nothing better to do than be assholes. Moderating must have become a nightmare.

Its too much for them. On the one hand, Harry is their favourite royal after Philip because of that German uniform photo and because hes machine-gunned Muslims from a helicopter.
On the other hand, shes not only a confident black woman but she campaigns for gender equality. They dont have the mental flexibility to assess them as a couple.
