I think she overstates it a tad. Americans are not "easy to please"... we just don't bat an eyelash at self-promoting people making $$$$ from doing nothing remarkable. Hello, Kardashians, RHO (every US metro), basically every Bravo show, etc... we don't recognize royalty so why on earth would we have high expectations of them.

Exactly. I think the big difference is that in the US they're perceived as "yet another pair of celebrities", whereas in the UK they were truly expected to be humanitarians, represent the queen and do some good in the world.
In the US, they're no different than any other celeb / influencer like the reality TV bunch, and people know and accept they do everything possible to stay in the news. People may click articles and take fashion cues from MM, but no one will take them seriously as actual contributors to society. People don't think of them as humanitarians any more than they do the average housewife. That's also why I think the queen taking or not taking away the titles is irrelevant in the US - the titles did the job to make them a household name and now no one cares.

So if their wish was to build fame and fortune as yet another empty-headed celeb famous for being famous - they may very well succeed, but if they expect to be respected and taken seriously like the Obamas or Oprah, they will fail miserably, because they are as fake and transparent as they come.

So, she is now woke and he is now woke, right? I did not know the beholder could declare himself woke. Thought wokeness is bestowed by others on a person. If they have to tell us they are woke, are they really woke? A conundrum.

Looks like she is copying KimK‘s look. Tsk tsk.

What is she wearing? Leather pants? Is it cold there or something? She definitely does not dress like a royal anymore.

I watched 30 seconds and then couldn’t watch any more.

I wonder though, if she can just say "I'm working on my UK citizenship, I plan to become a dual citizen, blah blah blah" and then not work on it at all and let time pass? Though, the Queen could call that bluff and tell her they could fast track her citizenship so that she could retain her Duchess title. Perhaps that is not possible though for political reasons? Maybe they can't fast track it and she has to go through the usual process which includes a general residency requirement of 5 continuous years (thanks, internet)!

When they first got married, that wasn't likely considered an issue. They thought she'd, you know, actually live in the UK since she married Harry. So, the 5 years would pass and she'd get her citizenship. Now, its a huge stumbling block when she will likely only spend a few days each year in the UK. So, yeah, the Queen likely could move on removing her title at some point, but I think she is letting events unfold.

Good point.

Yet, what I'm saying is that until she is granted British citizenship she cannot be a duchess (by law) and and has no entitlement to use the title - anywhere.

It would be like doing a professional course and putting letters after your name bofire taking the exam. Just because you're taking a course doesn't mean you've qualified. It's legally fraud to present yourself as something you're not entitled to be.

I think the reason why they were granted use their titles early was because of WORK as A) any minute she was going to become British and B) capitalising on the momentum of their popularity at the time of their marriage, taking on Royal Duties and patronages.

It could have also been because the Queen absolutely not want the incorrect title of Princess Megan to be in common usage (as happened to 'Princess Diana)

She has abandoned her pursuit of her British citizenship and she's stopped working (on behalf of BRF/UK). She no longer has any claim to the title she uses.

Yippee, now they are preaching to the UK. Guessing this is part of the half in-half out plan. The way they are sitting, my my, he is mansplaining and manspreading. She looks, uh, uneven. Both are super glossy and blurry, just like Khloe and Kim.

Ha, I was just thinking... maybe this is why they felt the need to move to the US: now they feel license to lecture both countries equally.

Now we know what kind of oppression she was enduring while in England. It's an example of how she was merely existing because she was not allowed to wear leather pants. There is likely a dramatic chapter about it in Finding Freedom. :rolleyes:

I don’t normally comment on clothes because I care about accessories, not clothes... but why wear a shirt that makes your chest look droopy?

She's just an LA girl trying to teach the world how to be the best they can be (meaning be just like her). You have to love how so many of the articles about it identify and provide the prices and links so readers can buy her outfit for themselves. Opportunists abound! :biggrin:

Yep, I refrained myself from commenting on her views on Randy Andy. Though, she was very right on predicting the success of the duke & duchess in the US. I'm not very pleased with the media here these days. Hypocrisy seems to be welcome and contagious. We need more factual journalism.

The "news" media in the US today is more like the National Enquirer. Rubbish.
