You can't really blame Meghan Markle for leaving the UK after receiving not just a chilly welcome,Tina Tyler Archives but a downright frosty and hostile one.
Headline after headline has subjected the Duchess of Sussex to huge amounts of criticism and, if you compare the headlines about the Duchess of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge, you'll see a very stark contrast.
You might think this level of unprovoked and undeserved hatred is inexplicable, but I can think of one explanation: racism. Anyone denying that needs to take a cold, hard look in the mirror.
Stormzy hit the nail on the head in an interview on New York radio station Hot 97. Fast forward the video below to 20 minutes in to hear the chart-topping British rapper's views on #Meghxit.
"I'm not super into the royal family," he caveated at first. "[Meghan] she's a lovely woman, she does her thing, I ain't heard her say nothing crazy, and they just hate her, they just hate her."
The grime star then referenced a radio interview with broadcaster Eamonn Holmes, who offered up his own views on the Duchess. "I just find her incredibly irritating," Holmes began. "I look at her and I think I don't think I'd like like you in real life. You're just that awful, woke, weak, manipulative, spoilt..."
Stormzy paraphrased Holmes' remarks and offered up his own thoughts on the subtext. "I was like 'bro, she's black. That's all you're talking about," he said. "'I just think she's got that arrogance' and I was like nah she's just black, man. Get the fuck out of here."
"If you told someone, write a list as to why you hate Meghan Markle, the list is rubbish," he added. "It's nothing, there's nothing credible to it."
He's not wrong.
UPDATE: Jan. 15, 2020, 2:54 p.m. GMT An earlier version of this article had listed the Duchess of Cambridge as subject to huge amounts of criticism. While this is still true, it should have read the Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle's title). The text has been updated to reflect this.
