I think she assumed that she was getting in to the British version of celebrity, and didn't realise that there was an obligation of public service.

But it must have been difficult for her, coming from the USA, expecting full equality, and finding out that she has to play second fiddle to the unremarkable Kate ? Not just on one occasion, but for life. I can certainly see why she had a change of heart. The RF is literally and historically (!) antithetical to the American psyche.

Bless.. so naive 
40 isn't young(ish).. it middle age. She's not a stupid woman.. I'm sure she was made aware of what was expected of her and went into it with her eyes open! She didn't want to behave/live that way - and perhaps expected to be treated as 'special' - not the younger brothers wife with no 'standing. Perhaps still doesn't understand why she wouldn't be a princess on marrying Harry - just as she can't appear to grasp that Archie isn't entitled to be named as a Prince until his Grandfather becomes King. Jealousy? far from it, lol
I don't think she necessarily set out to entrap him, but it's certainly appears to be her belief that she deserves a better life than one of service to Britain - and is using her 'connections' and 'infamy' to create an income stream..
Such is life.

However ignorant, shallow and narcissistic are what she is..... she has demonstrated her ignorance combined with and her dismissive attitude for the Queen and royal protocol She expected even more than a royal title (and of course non of the royal duty). The fact she got the younger brothers wife with no standing deal has no doubt greatly annoyed her. So as a result now she is on a poor me whingefest and has the audacity to play the race card! Thats a pretty low thing to do....and the Americans have swallowed it hook line and sinker!

Surely she's on solid ground in thinking the aged inbreeds treated her differently because she's Black. It might have been worse if she was Irish, or a dog, but it's very unlikely that the family failed to notice.

Agreed Siouxie, 40 is no longer young... I remember being really depressed when I turned 40! lol and no one can serioulsy claim to be naive at that age, unless you have lived a very sheltered life, and im afraid ol' Meg doesnt fall into that category at all.

I have a wife, and an ex, who is 40. I expect they'd object to being called "middle aged". Not that I'm going to try it. .
Do you really think being a member of the royal family is a life of service to Britain? It's a job of fete opening and what not but that's no different to being in America and being a former member of the cast of Days of Our Lives; one is condemned to cutting ribbons in shopping malls in the hope of drawing a crowd. I once saw Lou Ferrigno do that in Milton Keynes. It's celebrity of a sort and, plainly, people like to see it but it's not service, the country is not better because minor royals do that.

DYSWIDT) - they are only as good as their social media standing! ..... Meanwhile a royal is a royal for life.. and Yes, they perform a duty to the Queen, the country etc.Clearly you don't believe in royalism.

Not all of the comments are trashing anyone... and yet you continue to trash the Royal family... a touch of hypocracy there, perhaps....






Simply too late to accomplish certain things once past 40, many simply societal and ageism but eh its the society we created and live in.
