Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing okay, and that today has treated you kindly. I haven’t felt too great today for various different reasons but I know I will be okay, Well back to my usual self. So tonight, I have been watching the interview with Harry and Meghan hosted by Oprah. I think this may be my last blog post about Harry and Meghan for the time being. There has been many things being said about Harry and Megan over the past week, and I wanted to express myself and how I felt about the things I’ve seen. Also, that I wanted to show my support for those who have dealt with prejudice, racism, mental health issues and other important subjects.

As you may have noticed from my blog post yesterday, I saw two or three clips from the interview so it was good to see the whole interview where you are getting the full context to what was being said. I think both Harry and Meghan showed themselves to be honest, decent, kind and compassionate people, both as a couple and individually. I don’t think they wanted to portray anyone in the family in a bad light and rightfully so they were reluctant to give names but remain truthful in the most honest way that they could. Even when they shared about personal relationships with certain family members.

I must admit that I ‘gushed’ when H and M told Oprah that they had a private wedding service three days before because I think that is really sweet, but to me, it shows that they were very willing to follow the traditional protocols for example, the big royal wedding which was for everyone watching. I know that weddings are a stressful time for many couples but where you’ve got the added pressure of the press/the media and the Institution on top of that. Not forgetting the estranged father of Meghan’s betraying her like he did.

It has saddened me that especially Meghan hearing what they have been through. It actually made me feel tearful when Megan said about how she sent suicidal. I’d like to think that talking about mental health is easier than it used to be but then again, people can be very ignorant and harmful. Which is something that we have all seen on social media when a certain journalist/TV presenter who publicly said said “I don’t believe her”, this is extremely harmful to anybody who has severe mental health issues. Every day people preach on about ‘being kind’ yet that always seems to only come into action depending on if somebody is liking somebody (if this makes sense?). In my opinion you should always be kind to people whether you like someone or not. It showed how little we the public actually understand what the protocols are and how things are done in the institution, for eg, when they tried to talk to senior officials but they were refused help and support because of how it would look. I said on my Twitter that the public didn’t even need to know if someone in ‘the family’ needed the support of this kind so whoever refused to get them support didn’t think thoroughly, this made me question that you possibly can’t trust the staff in the institution as they are probably the ones who leak false stories to the press.

I’m glad that they have some family members that they can trust and a supportive, for example the Queen Megan‘s mum and a few other family members. It’s a shame that other family members have not been supportive and that Meghan has been betrayed by her father, who has yet again spoke to the press about her. Even though he admitted he betrayed her but I don’t understand why he’s gone back to the press again after she has said that the press is one of the things that they have been hurt from. I’m sure we can all say that we have all toxic members of our families, no matter who we are! It is very disheartening to learn that Harry’s father, Prince Charles stopped taking his calls especially after they tried to seek help and support.

I particularly enjoyed seeing a glimpse of the home life, with the chickens and little Archie running on the beach just like you would see any other the little toddler doing the same. When they announced that they are expecting a baby girl, even though I don’t know them, it’s lovely news to hear. Harry is living the life that he deserves and what he has always wanted. They are both so strong and I really hope that they find peace, happiness and to live much more freely. I do hope that Harry, his father and brother William relationships’ will improve and that they are more supportive towards them (Harry and Meghan) and try to do better with one another.

On social media, there have been people you are complaining that they are disrespecting the Queen but not once has Harry or Meghan said anything negative about her. They had nothing but lovely things to say about her and they relationship will stay strong as it always has been. I think this goes towards Philip too as they have been checking in on how he’s doing in hospital.

I feel that the majority of what Harry and Meghan have said has mostly been about the press and the institution more so than the family.

I think that Lady Diana will be so so proud of Harry and of the man that he has become today, I’m so many ways, he is just like her, protective, strong and very loving.

I hope that people will stop trying to twist everything that Harry or Meghan have said and making them (in particular Meghan) into villains when in actual fact, they have done nothing wrong. We really shouldn’t believe everything we see and hear. We are taught about history for a reason and that reason is to learn from the past so that we don’t keep making the same mistakes again and again, because history is repeating itself. No one deserves to be hounded, and harassed like they (especially Meghan) have. Imagine how it would feel to you having people spinning lies about you, comparing you to another Duchess, having racist remarks aimed at you and not having the people who promise to protect you, to let you down. It would be awful!

I’m thankful for Harry and Megan for sharing there honest experiences even though I imagine it must’ve been so hard for them to do so especially knowing that people were criticising no matter what. Having to be silent for so long, enduring everything that they’ve had thrown at them, they deserve to finally feel comfortable enough to share their truth. If you could take anything from this and anything from other well-known people and their mental health issues is please be kind and try not to judge something that you don’t know about.

I apologise that this is a long post but thank you for taking the time to read it. I will talk to you all again soon,

Lots of love to you all,

Dinky KT
