I don’t read the articles but see the headlines, the poor couple must be seriously damaged by the constant attention and criticism they are receiving
When Meghan releases an interview carefully timed to coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of her mother-in-law's death, she can scarcely complain about the attention and criticism they receive.

It's the constant attention that is the problem.
Criticism for what she says is one thing, but it seems that not one single day goes by without the tabloids publishing yet another article about her. If there's a lull in her activities, old stories are rehashed and dredged up again and again.
Just the other day, Amanda Platell of the DM was feeling sorry for poor Harry who it appears has been emasculated by the "minor actress" and wanted to know what the men who served alongside him in Afghanistan would think about his presumed subservient role.
Seriously, this is just muck-raking isn't it?
I know damned all about the couple's relationship, but this idea that Harry is some kind of poor sop who's been entranced by a Jezebel and therefore has no agency nor autonomy is pure speculative spite. Their public persona, brand, image, call it whatever is not necessarily the true dynamic between the couple.
Are M&H really so newsworthy - that important to the lives of the average citizen? Does the Queen even agonise as much as the media over her grandson? Everyone wants to defend the poor woman who's been so ill-used - perhaps at her grand age she's more philosophical, heaving another sigh of resignation as she turns yet another page of the tabloids to find yet another article about the couple.
I'm not defending the couple, I don't admire them, I'm not that interested in their role as celebrities furthering their causes - but I am interested in why the media just won't simply give it a rest, as they say.
I can only assume it's click-bait. It increases the circulation figures which will attract more advertising revenue. And so it will continue. Until the tabloids can find another person / persons / issue that engenders more interest.
But I'm pretty sure the response to this comment - if any at all - will be the usual, "well, she brought it upon herself". Well, yes - she did... but for how much longer are we going to focus on this? Perhaps ignoring the couple altogether might be an option and would certainly solve the problem of her much talked about "attention seeking".
