For being so dismissive as to dismiss someone's suicidal thoughts, or experience of racism, because 'rich' or 'status'. Your posts reek of hatred and bitterness here, so: chill yourself.

Anthony Bourdaine is probably a poor example to use, given his likely cause of death (AEA), and the fact that you're over-reacting more than a little.
It seems certain that you have experience with suicide via depression regardless of life circumstances in one form or the other, but this is a GBS thread dunking on a bizarre interview on a pop show, not a full blown critique of mental wellness of those at risk for suicide. It's ok.

Won't discredit anything, royalists response to Prince Andrew being a pedophile was that they felt sorry for the Queen at Christmas time.

Prince Philip, looking at 2 white people:
“Hmm yes have you considered if your baby gets too much sun it may resemble a quadroon?”

Edit: I think the monarchy is kind of a good thing because BoJo is less pompous and dumb than Trump. Nobody calls him their god emperor because that position is already taken. So it helps create an upper limit on hubris maybe?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Hopefully this is a wakeup call to the roughly 60 million Americans who were hoping January 6th 2021 was gonna usher in a royal family that's even more inbred, racist, and dumb than the British one.

Real talk: like 99% of Meghan’s grievances boil down to her being a real dumbdumb who admitted that she didn’t do any research into how the monarchy works, and has a fundamental misunderstanding of how the hierarchy works.

The claim that the palace wouldn’t give her mental healthcare is real fishy considering the other princes have all been very public about being in therapy themselves and do a poo poo ton of work with mental health charities.

The racism stuff is definitely legit tho

More royal facts for royal fun:

- Edward II probably did not die from having a red-hot poker shoved up his rear end.
- James I headed a cabal of fawning gay followers who all constantly competed for his favors. Where do you think Anne learned that trick?
- Nell Gwynne was the best of Charles II's mistresses and that is a fact. That's why it's on this list.
- Kevin Costner wrote a sequel to The Bodyguard that was supposed to star Princess Diana as herself. there was going to be a love scene. Diana was on board before she died.
- Mary, Queen of Scots probably faked her own rape in order to be allowed to marry her lover after they exploded her husband
- Eleanor of Aquitaine survived two Crusades, being locked in a tower for decades, both her husbands, and most of her children.
- The Other Boleyn Girl is real bad!
- Sir Walter Raleigh got sent to the Tower for poisoning the court with potatoes. See, he forgot to mention to the cooks that you don't eat the green part.

I'm not having a hard time imagining that both parties are in every sense in the wrong and everyone involved being pampered babies complaining that the world doesn't revolve just enough around making their lives just that extra bit easier.

Backing either side is the wrong take, you can both think that the British monarchy is a backwards torture chamber overdue for removal by three centuries AND that Harry and Meghan should stop whining about not getting enough tax shillings to have the life of the top 0.0000000001% without actually working for it.

Totally agreed

But a lot of her issues were with who gets a security detail vs who doesn’t, which is absolutely tied to rank/hierarchy, so obviously when they quit their rank they were going to lose their (taxpayer-funded) security.
