Truly, why are we giving more oxygen to the Twitter trolls?
I mean, post what you want, I’m not the police. At this point, we all know these vile things are being said. I just dislike that they’re being amplified here so much lately.

I want to see the video where Camilla supposedly snapped at Kate to "get her" (her being Charlotte who was pinched by George and said ow?).
Some lip reader said it so it must be true.

I think people just are in that mood that they are currently in their feels about The Queen and therefore feel for Charles. He won't be that liked for long. But also he didn't get 2.5 weeks. He traveled and worked all last week. This week is his week off. Also this. Don’t try to tell me that that funeral week wasn’t work. It was definitely work, but I also remain amused that during the week leading up to the funeral, they had a rest day built in and it was specified that Camille had to spend rest day separately from Charles so he would have alone time. |

I just dislike that they’re being amplified here so much lately. My bad I don’t know. I think posting them helps people remember at times how truly mistreated she is by so many people, and given how we know the British media has fed into it. It’s easy to pretend that it’s all just subtle shade from papers if you don’t see it in black and white. Just my opinion. |

And then angelashly will have to come in with the receipts. It’s happened before. I think it helps put in context just how hard this is for Meghan. And still the family does nothing. |

I’m certainly not in charge but it just seems to give it more life. |

Got it I'll stop sharing. Sorry to make people uncomfortable I never said it made me uncomfortable, please don’t put that word in my mouth. I have not downplayed what Meghan has gone through. I said I feel that it amplifies the trolls and bots. It gets them more views and engagement. I personally don’t like that. Others are free to disagree, as I said. |

I know not all of the posts are made by bots and that there are many racist people on Twitter. And that there are horrible narratives that exist around Meghan.
But posting these random Tweets indiscriminately here is almost giving them a stature they don't really have? Like that last one's posts are all Joe Biden, anti-Ukraine President, pro-Putin and have zero, maybe one like? Do we really need to tut-tut tweets from an account like that?

Social media is the absolute worst. If you want to get really depressed about it read The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher. Anyway I would appreciate if the racist tweets would be spoilered personally.

In other royals news, we have the only Prince Charlie bringing the cuteness factor today.    Who are the other people? Is it Stefanie's side of the family? I googled Liechtenstein royal family and didn't recognize the adults I think you mean Luxembourg. The adults are Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Theresa of Luxembourg with some of their grand children, Liam, Amalia and, of course, Charles. |

I am not fighting with you, just explaining my thoughts. It is fine. I'll stop and just hate read them all myself |

Let's fight about those too *I have personally learned a lot in recent years following the royals (and also politics) about racism in the media (and elsewhere) and greatly appreciate the emotional labor people have expended |

The bot and troll tweets have real life repercussions for the subject of the tweet. Don’t click if you don’t want to engage.

Gotta do our part. i mean I can but people clearly are bothered and while reading those help me to sometimes articulate how I feel about not just the media but those who hate on her and why I realize that it doesn't need to be put here |

I vaguely remember discussing at one point how Meghan was one of (of not the) biggest target of racist bots on Twitter. And it could all be traced back to 12 accounts or something
Maybe I'm mixing up details, but she's definitely a huge target

Like I meant what I said when philo posted about the bots being lower than expected on twitter that it was sad to me that so many just go oh well trolls or bots don't feed them when it is real life people that even if ignored are not going away. |
