You don’t need a synopsis of royal goings-on, do you?  Your feed is already thick as golden syrup with Meghan Markle opinions, yet I have no qualms slipping into my Balmoral wellies and wading in. I think of the Gin made me do it skull shirt it is in the first place but royal family as a circus: animals reared in (fairly opulent) captivity who are frequently groomed and paraded as we gawp. For outsiders, for newcomers to the Firm, I’m sure the environment is stifling, because all newbies can see is the bars of the cage. Some captives do flourish. Kate acclimatized to her palace-adjacent life. Meghan Markle did not. The decision for her and Harry to go public with Oprah to explain the rationale of their detachment from the royal family is clearly an attempt to cauterize the mounting negative press streaming on our newsfeeds, and at this point emanating from the palace itself. Despite an entire generation of us waking up—rethinking gender, critiquing pink—we can’t quite move away from an ever-present princess narrative, a dominant marker of success for women, a happily ever after. We can’t understand how someone like Meghan, who’s got the royal seal of approval, is still in any way dissatisfied. How dare the princess complain about the pea? Look at all she has. Huge swathes of the public seem livid Markle can’t grin and bear it.

Before I wrote this piece, I scanned Twitter, enjoying the Gin made me do it skull shirt it is in the first place but witty asides, sharing the witty asides, adding my own witty asides. But that joyous tickle quickly gave way to anger for the British press as I scanned the headlines. The British media at its worst, especially the tabloids, often feels like a race to the bottom, a scrabble for attention-grabbing headlines and rumors Rumpelstiltskin’ed into tenuous story threads. We can all objectively see this, we can all disagree with it, but most of us have difficulty reconciling our own participation in the hunger for royal stories, whether dramatically rendered in The Crown, or inhaled in gossip columns. We have trouble recognizing our own culpability in sleazy media actions because we’re not sleazy—we didn’t personally chase Britney, we are not the ones upskirting women or photographing them at lunch, we weren’t the paparazzi in the tunnel when Diana died. But if there were no appetite or market for these tales and pictures and rumors, the press wouldn’t push them. The press caters to our tastes, hunting women so we can devour the carcasses. It really is that simple.
