The Royal Family has an "image" to maintain. Meghan doesn't fit that image. She's not from royalty or British nobility (Kate Middleton is a member of British aristocracy, that's why she fares so well with the Royals), she's of unimpressive American commoner stock. Meghan should have known from the get-go that this was going to a be a nightmare for her, and Harry absolutely knew.
It is horrible that they're being vilified in this. The Royals can handle a scandal, the British royals have a long, long history of scandal dating back to William the Conqueror. But as is often the case, the Royals are a lot more adept and equipped to bring shame to their "lesser relations" while keeping their chins - and noses - high up in the air.
While I love the fact that the UK has had the same head of church since the 1920's, the british Royalty exists primarily for show, at the taxpayers' expense.
