Both women are lovely, and I do marvel at how “effortlessly” Kate has appeared to pull off her “role” (it is acting, and I once wondered whether Kate was ironically a better actor than Meghan). I, too, watch for the stagecraft with no small amount of worry over what this is all doing to these women and their families.
I cannot help but sympathize with Meghan, however. The racism is extreme. Beyond that, she is an American by birth—and deference does not come naturally to us. In more neutral Commonwealth terrirtory, we should watch for her to become more colorful, literally. Just last week, she was in gleaming turquoise and tomato red. I rejoiced.
