“It’s not w/o a certain irony that exactly at the moment when the public-provided they have a Netflix subscription-is once again shown the considerable messiness of the Brit monarchy (namely in the TV drama "#TheCrown") also revealed IRL”

“Last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, the New York Times published a remarkable essay by Meghan, #DuchessOfSussex, a native of the United States, married to #PrinceHarry, number six in the British line of succession.”
“Then the Duchess takes up a common thread again, a leitmotif that signaled her emancipation from the British royal family as early as 2019. It is the demand for the most human thing that people can offer one another - empathy. "Are you ok?"”
“The essay is cleverly composed, in its...combination of personal experience, social analysis & appellative gesture.The feminist Sussex turns pvt matters politically & thus the physical & mental pain of her miscarriage into a weapon against the permanent danger of speechlessness“
“The majority of the serious reactions to the article are positive. Women who perceive the silence about miscarriages as a further trauma after the trauma, midwives and aid organizations praise the Duchess for her courage to expose herself to this very taboo topic.”
“In addition to applause, the misogyne, racist furor that has been directed against #MeghanMarkle for years immediately set in on social media.”
“On behalf of many others, the reaction of the British author Penny Junor,who wrote bios of various members of the Windsor family,shows the great misunderstanding regarding the Duchess,who’s regarded as the driving force in the separation of the Sussexes from the rest of the BRF”
“It was "confusing," Junor commented, "that Meghan goes public with something so personal and painful when she has repeatedly asked for privacy." Confusing, really? It is actually quite simple. It's about autonomy, self-determination, power over your own life.”
“Meghan,whose mother-in-law Diana was chased to death by paparazzi in a Paris car tunnel,doesn't have to put up with the fact that she’s hunted, harassed & spied on by the media. But of course she can very well decide 4 herself when she makes personal things public-on her terms.”
“The official statement of Buckingham Palace therefore has a fatal effect on the essay. There it said on Wednesday in dry words that the article in the New York Times was a "deeply personal matter that we will not comment on." The reaction could hardly have been more sour.”
“This reveals once again the aging British understanding of monarchy from the 19th century, according to which the royal family had to wrap themselves in a cloak of silence and aloofness in order not to endanger the “magic of the crown”.”
“Even if one now assumes that the Windsor family is in contact with the Sussexes & that Meghan's miscarriage was discussed in the summer: The official statement is cold, dismissive and misses exactly what the Duchess demands in her contribution. Are you ok? A missed opportunity.”
