If Meghan Markle gave birth to the second coming of Jesus, the British press would take it as clear evidence that she'd been sleeping around.

Maybe it is an insult. But who really knows?

And how does one become a 'Royal Expert' exactly?

Watching Harry talk about mental health is just not something I think will ever get used to.

One can only hope that their request for donations is for link someone else.

In May in honor of Mother's Day, Harry and Markle asked for donations of baby supplies such as diapers and cleaning supplies.

"As a mom, and an expectant mom, I deeply appreciate the significance of community support, safe and accessible pregnancy resources, and trusted guidance in a nurturing setting," the duchess said in a statement at the time. "These ingredients are essential to not just our physical health, but our mental well-being, and I commend you for leading a compassionate community that lives these values."

I'm not defending them, I don't really have strong feelings one way or another, and try to avoid TV shows on British royalty that aren't associated with historical battles involving lots of dead Frenchmen.

But I freaking despise the British tabloid press.

Some day you will have to educate us on the British tabloid press. It surfaces often on news aggregator websites. I see scantily clad women as their main product which is not the thrust of clickbait in the US.

Oh, I don't know. I wonder how well our own NY Post cleaned up when they published the pic of the First Lady nude.

If all the British tabloids did was post pictures of scantily clad women it would be fine with me. They combine it with lurid sensationalism, jingoistic vulgarity, xenophobic ranting, reactionary moralising and an amoral lust for destroying reputation in pursuit of readership at any cost that induces a despair for humanity.

Other than that, I'm sure they're a wonderful bunch of chaps.
