With some decent competition from a bunch of entitled, dim prats and their hangers on, Andrew does stand out as particularly toxic.
But hey, let’s focus on Meghan Markle, mainly for reasons that no one is willing to say out loud (although apparently either Philip or Charles did).
Also, not wishing to speak I’ll of the dead, but if the queen was so wonderful and never put a foot wrong, why did her family turn out pretty much universally dysfunctional? Why did she never speak out against her husbands racism? Why did she make sure that not only she avoided tax on vast unearned wealth but also that the Equalities Act didn’t apply to the royal household (although see Philip, at least, for the latter)? And, there’s loads more to list (and doubtless even more that we will never hear about).
Worst bit though? Fuck all we can do about it

I was discussing this today. It annoys me that it’s deemed necessary for the Queen/King to be silent about anything that matters. It gives them plenty of excuse to not call out bad shit as much as it stops them supporting important things. Also with them having such power over matters that have huge effects and the ability to block them, surely it’s even more important to have transparency in their beliefs and views so if we start to realise ‘hold up that’s a bit sketchy Liz/Charlie’ we can at least hope to call them out and think maybe we shouldn’t let them have such control.
Edit to add: I swear the only reason so many people have gone from ‘Charles will be shite’ to ‘After seeing that speech I believe Charles will be an amazing King’ is that they’ve realised he’ll stop talking about and supporting all of the things they disagreed with him about and he’ll instead just be another silent power who has carried on this useless procession of lineage that they all cherish so much.

They aren't great and have never been, the peasants just dont want to see the wood for the trees and shout about how hard she worked for 70 years. If she worked that hard she'd have not lasted for as long as she had that's for sure.
She shielded all that mob from the shambles they are, they think they are above everyone and its really only william who's realised he's gonna need to play the game a bit to get folk to see by it.
Its the like the DB thing, only five mins ag0 people were shouting about him taking money for the coming WC which is almost built on slavery but he's q'd for 13 hours so he's a man of the people now.
He clearly doesn't give a fuck what the public think of him and knows he's untouchable. The full thing is completely bewildering and shows how detached from reality that lot are and how antiquated then full royal thing is now in 2022.
