I read a great saying in an old book the other day. It was "to throw the baby out with the bathwater," to mean that sometimes people throw away a lot of good along with the bad, which accurately describes what I'm trying to say. How many of these estrangements are pretty reasonable, and how many involve throwing away more good than bad? It's the latter in my family, so I'm probably suffering from confirmation bias.
But I also don't see what the RF could possibly have done that was terrible enough for Meghan and Harry to go so nuclear. There was the press - not RF's fault. There was William cautioning Harry to go slow with his new girlfriend, which seems quite sensible. There was that dreadful Princess Michael wearing a racist brooch to meet Meghan. Princess Michael is very much on the periphery of the RF and they pretty much have to put up with her as she married in. Her father was a well-known Nazi. But PM is like the embarrassing relative that's kept out of sight most of the time. I wouldn't have through SHE was a reason to hit the nuclear button. She's a very minor royal.
Then there's the allegation of the racist comment about Archie's skin, which is intriguing. That's the only thing that could be behind their taking the nuclear option, and we can't judge how reasonable that reaction was because we don't know who said it. If it was a minor royal, like PM, giving it all up because of her would seem silly. If it was Charles, it would be more understandable. Also, was it really racist or was it more like, "I wonder if the baby will have Harry's ginger coloring or will be darker like Meghan?" in a curious sort of way, not in a "our bloodline is going to be tainnnnnnted!" sort of way. You have to remember that people will always seek to blame their bad behavior on someone else.
But since we have NO idea what was said or who said it, we can't judge. Harry and Meghan's reaction to their royal life just seems a bit OTT, especially considering that she doesn't speak to any of her own family either, except her mother.
