Apparently Lady Susan Hussey was one of the people appointed to help Meghan fit in to the RF. Can anyone now really say there was no racism and M&H imagined it all? It seems many of the allegations they made when they left are beginning to emerge as truths.
I guess we'll never really know the unvarnished facts about the allegations.
In these kinds of circumstances, there's usually a nugget of truth with such claims, but so much depends on an individual's perceptions, past experiences, feelings (in MM's case), and the same, I guess, with the 'accused'.
Bending oneself out of shape either way - to accuse someone of racism where it might not be the case, or insist that it doesn't / didn't exist in the RF and its household, is just not helpful. Prince Philip himself was not averse to making comments that would now be unacceptable. I think the late Queen was more 'with it', more up-to-date and in-tune with modern society... but who knows - that's just my perception. But MM did say that Elizabeth was always very kind to her.
There's no denying though that racism exists in the rest of society - and some of it quite extreme. It doesn't surprise me one bit that MM was the target of death threats - along with racism, there's also misogyny. And I'm quite willing to believe that the RF 'household' has among them those that disapproved of MM, either because of her heritage, the fact she's an American, an actress, or a woman with an opinion - or maybe all of those.
