" . . . we are left speechless."

If only.

I don't disagree with any of the sentiments expressed. It's a bit word saladish: grammatically correct although it uses US spelling and terminology. Ponderous is the word which springs to mind.

In passing, I noticed that the sussexroyal.com website which they abandoned when HM told them they couldn't be royal any more, is still up 18 months later. Someone is still paying that bill to Go Daddy or whoever.

Not a word salad.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Still spending $5K on a purse or a pair of shoes though.

I loved that advertisement when I was a small kid.

WTF?  Everybody else with a keyboard has some sort of comment about what's going on in Afghanistan.  In fact, I'm sure there are any number of Tik-Tok and YouTube 'influencers' whose followers are hanging on their every word, even as I type this.  So why shouldn't the less-than-Royal family be allowed to post some worthless platitudes?

I mean, I know it doesn't count for diddly-squat, but what the heck?  Has anything we've ever discussed in this forum ever resulted in some significant change to social policy?  Hell, no!  This is just the cyber equivalent of the gang getting together at the corner watering hole while we cuss and discuss current affairs over the adult beverage of our choice.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Loathing Harry & Meghan and bullying them online is fast becoming a national pastime for a great many UK citizens - every article about them in the Daily Mail amasses thousands of comments within hours of publication, 75% of which are hostile/vile.

Haters gonna hate.

Nice to see who the Daily Mail readers really are, no wonder it's the most read online daily in the UK.
