> This past Friday, he published a column that contained this about Prince Harry’s wife Meghan (sorry I can’t remember her title and don’t care to look it up, which has nothing to do with anything except laziness):

Just some context, he had published it in the _Sun_, here is a Reuters story about it:

Meghan is the Duchess of Sussex, since you mentioned her title. Harry is the Duke of same.

I don’t know if it is “explained” so much, but it is certainly explored, and even displayed in this thread:

> I’ve been poking around trying to find some comments from anyone who has actually watched one or more episodes on Netflix. Maybe my searching ability is weak. Is it worth my time to watch any of this, er, documentary? I’m not really interested in their personal relationship, but I’m always interested in the way money and power flows. I get the impression from several reviewers that this documentary series is more about the couple’s undying love and commitment to each other.

Note that the hate got the thread closed and one poster warned for racism.

If I can summarize… She’s American, she has a skin color that isn’t pale enough for some, and she apparently was rude to some people at one point though I haven’t seen any actual specifics and that might be rumor to cover up the jingoism/racism.
