No Coronation Let-Up For Megs Hate

With the King’s Coronation, an event which should be a celebratory and joyous one, if only for ardent Royalists, less than a month away, one might have thought that the tsunami of hatred coming from our free and fearless press and directed at the Sussexes might abate for the duration of those celebrations. But that thought would have been sadly misplaced.

Who're you f***ing calling sick and obsessive, c***?!?!?

The right-leaning part of the Fourth Estate, which spends an inordinate amount of time trying to prove true Haz’ claim that they would only stop when his wife was dead, has if anything pushed the pedal even closer to the metal in its collective obsession. If a lone man or woman did what they are doing, they would be accused of stalking. And the accusation would be justified.

Edwin Hayward has been looking at the stats. And they make for worrying reading. “This is what industrial-scale hatemongering looks like. All the stories below attacking Meghan (mainly) and Harry (quite a bit) appeared on the Express website within the last 24H. 44 bile-filled rants in just one day. That's a pace of 16,000 attacks a year”. Was this an isolated 24-hour period?

Sadly not. “Perhaps you're wondering if it's some kind of weird unrepresentative blip? Sadly not. Take a look at this thread of mine from two years ago”. Which toldThis is what institutionalised bullying and racism looks like. 50 - yes, fifty - articles attacking Meghan Markle were published on the Express website yesterday. That's *50* articles in *24* hours”.

He also divulged this nugget: “Google has archived over 27,000 separate Express articles which have ‘Meghan’ in the title”. Also, the spewing of hatred never stopped. Never: “the Daily Mail, Express etc. kept up their attacks on Meghan and Harry even during the mourning period for the Queen”. In parallel with the hatred has come fawning talking up of the (now) Waleses.

And this is where the Mail has proudly inflated its latest soufflé of grovelling well beyond the point of structural integrity. Alternatively, the article, “How Kate's ancestor played a key role in abolishing slavery ... after the Sussexes' barbs about Royals and racism” might better be described as turd polishing.

From the start, with the claim “The Princess of Wales’s ancestor was known as ‘greatest American abolitionist’” (Harriet Martineau was not American and visited the USA only once, albeit over a period of several months), the Mail is stretching credibility. The claim that Ms Martineau’s visits to US Presidents James Madison and Andrew Jackson somehow “ultimately set in motion” Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is pure speculation.

How DARE she care about her own family?

The linking of the Mail’s heroine to Meg’s ancestors is yet more tenuous. Worse, it has no relevance whatever to the Mail’s unceasing efforts to portray the now Princess of Wales as some kind of superior being, a style icon and wonderful mother beyond criticism. It’s all part of the sick Megs-bashing obsession of the right-wing press. It’s empty and disturbing in equal measure.

After all, this whole piece is an overlong attempt to refute one claim, which the Mail at least mentions: “Prince Harry’s notorious interview with Oprah Winfrey - an interview in which, many maintain, Harry levelled an accusation of racism against the Royal Family with his claim that an unnamed relative had speculated on how dark his (then unborn) baby Archie’s skin would be”.

Authored by one Claudia Joseph, who has also brought the world “'Figure magician' who helped Princess of Wales get in shape after the birth of Prince George closes her business after revealing it 'did not survive' the pressure of her divorce and pandemic losses” and “Well-heeled celebrities follow in Camilla's footsteps by snapping up the Queen Consort's favourite bunion busters - but with five-inch platforms”. Proper highbrow stuff.

And if anyone thinks that is all the Mail is offering us by the way of Megs bashing today, economic migrant Amanda Bloody Platell has excreted “Why female royals must be glad that Meghan is staying away” [no citation], in which she makes a series of potentially actionable claims about Haz.

Now we know the reason Prince Harry held out so long before accepting his invitation to the Coronation. Far from agonising over his duty to King and country, he was obsessed with the seating plan. He needed to know who he and Meghan, if she deigned to attend, would sit behind and who’d be in front of them. What arrogance to refuse to say until the last minute whether they were coming or not. How rude to fail to reply by the RSVP date”.

How does she know when they replied? But it’s just another day in the seam of sick and creepy obsession mined relentlessly for sales and clicks by a press establishment desperate for cheap copy - and yet more desperate to prop up another part of the establishment, that being the Royal Family.

It’s high time every last one of the bottom-feeding “Royal experts” and pundits was made to go out into the world and get a real job. Like Haz and Megs.

It's what far right corporate media propaganda clerks do: lie, bullshit and attack the vulnerable.

Gutless no-marks the lot of them.

Yet people continue to buy their filth.......Britain 2023. A country in serious trouble.

Thank you Tim, for highlighting the relentless abuse especially, Princess Meghan and Prince Harry has to endure by those vile, so called British "News Papers" and socalled "Royal Expert" spue out on a daily basis on this beautiful couple. Great article and so true.

Well, it does rack up the "news" infotainment scam. Somebody has to keep the neonazi propaganda clerks in "work" in the run up to the Charlie Windsor von Saxe-Coburg und Gotha Circus and the application of, er, "holy" oil.

There's an added bonus: it keeps the East End and Essex pearly kings and queens in "happy" coronation mugs. Might even get a reappearance of Mary Poppins.

They have a nauseating side to the. which they are allowed to abuse because they're 'journalists.' These people are angry at themselves angry at their empty lives. They don't hate H+M they admire them with copious amounts of envy/jealousy

Amen to all right thinking people. The royal rota (rats) are just what they are, pure jealous and lonely individuals. Love the article and thank the writer for saying what we who support the DDoS feel.

We all watched Prince Charles avoiding a black gentleman who was right in his face. He utterly refuse to shake that man’s hand ! They put they’re own racist evil on public display 🤔

Thank you sir for your article it was spot on and so accurate. Why hurt someone who can help booster the Royal Family even more. Can't they see past their own white nose. My mum is from the UK and always told me treat other's the way you want to be treated and never talk about someone else because you're not perfect either. My family is still in the UK and I am ashamed of the people there who have hate in their heart towards someone whom has never done anything to any of you. Kate needs to be ashamed of herself also because she wasn't all that welcome either and Prince Harry made her comfortable.

You hit the nail on the head. The British press have destroyed the credibility of the monarchy and proved Harry right. The royal family plays with the devil and is in a burning cauldron.

I think it is so sad the press are allowed to write this stuff everyday. It’s cruel and spineless of them to think they feel that they are righteous in all this nonsense. My prayers are that Harry and Megan are able to sue the Royals/Firm and Press for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused them.
