Exhibit 1: #AvocadoGate
Avocados are a benign morning sickness cure for Princess Kate, bought for her by her adoring husband. Avocados are fuelling drought and murder when consumed by the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan.pic.twitter.com/9zEGCyk5Ma
Exhibit 2: #BumpGate
Kate tenderly cradles her bump, out of sheer love and maternal devotion. But Meghan can't keep her hands off her bump out of either pride/vanity/acting.pic.twitter.com/hEtpHEpVpC
Exhibit 3: #BumpGateTheSequel
Kate's huge baby bump is "gorgeous". But Meghan's late pregnancy bump is something she ensures has "centre stage". Exactly how should she be expected to have hidden it?pic.twitter.com/ykt5XLJhpw
Exhibit 4: #WeddingBouquetGate
Both brides had the classic British flower Lily of the Valley in their wedding bouquets. One bride (Kate) is lauded for following the royal code. The other (Meghan) is lambasted for endangering Charlotte.pic.twitter.com/n7udssdVjM
Exhibit 5: #ForeignNannyGate
A Spanish nanny for George is applauded. Note that both William and Kate are reported as hiring this experienced nanny. By contrast it appears that only Meghan (seriously, Harry had no say as father?) broke tradition with hiring an American nanny.pic.twitter.com/mXvPOzJDtm
Exhibit 6: #DressGate
Both women: young, beautiful, glamourous, wear identical one-shoulder dresses. Both look stunning. One (Kate) is described as "stunning". The other (Meghan) has caused "shock" with her "vulgar" dress.pic.twitter.com/xN3Juq7kwP
Exhibit 7: #SlaveGate
The Daily Mail decides to highlight that Meghan is apparently "descended from slaves". The dog whistle is employed. How dare a descendant of slaves aspire to marry a prince?pic.twitter.com/PhldJZ45Cu
Exhibit 8: #PussyWhippedGate
Imagine whether any other royal spouse would be presented in such a negative, misogynistic and hurtful way. Can you? No. Neither can I.pic.twitter.com/LNSCytAOVn
Before anyone suggests I'm pro Meghan and anti-Kate, nothing could be further from the truth. Both are young women trying to navigate marriage and motherhood. Neither deserve vilification.
Exhibit 9: #EditorGate
Both Kate & Meghan did some guest editing. Kate's at Huffington Post is described as adding to her skills set. Meghan is slated by The Sun, The Sun's Dan Wooton on Lorraine, the Telegraph & Jan Moir in D Mail. What about Prince Charles editing Country Life?pic.twitter.com/ZjtVKaCdok
Exhibit 10: #CompanyGate
Charles sells his Duchy and Highgrove products. Kate sets up the CE Strathearn firm, William's is APL Anglesey, Harry's is Tsessebe. But when Meghan and Harry set up a firm together for their brand, they are cashing in.pic.twitter.com/2hjT9CyieJ
Exhibit 11: #BroochGate Princess Michael of Kent wears highly inappropriate brooch. She apologised, but on what planet would anyone wear such a brooch at a Christmas banquet where a mixed race woman and her husband are present? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42462724 …pic.twitter.com/Ip3vkbUFBs
Exhibit 12: #DannyBakerChimpGate This is the picture and caption tweeted by Danny Baker when Meghan and Harry's baby was born.pic.twitter.com/OBBKzZWsyi
If you want an in depth analysis of Danny Baker's tweet, in case you need to understand how it is offensive and how his explanations and apologies at the time were meaningless, here's a thread:https://twitter.com/snigskitchen/status/1126553958997213191 …
Exhibit 13: #CrossedLegsGate Meghan is castigated in the Sun.... for crossing her legs. Imagine the outrage!pic.twitter.com/NTWYSnNkiX
Exhibit 14: #FashionGate Both women are beautiful and stylish. But when one dresses fashionably, it is applauded by Sarah Vine. When the other does so, Sarah is quick to to criticise.pic.twitter.com/vJmbYNB0lQ
Exhibit 15: #FamilyBackgroundGate Her ancestors were slaves and maids! She's almost Straight Outta Compton. How dare this woman marry outside of her birth and class? And what has the US Civil War got to do with her relationship with Harry?pic.twitter.com/oIGX1DxBod
Exhibit 16: #PocketGate
Check out this fab picture of the Queen, rocking her pockets. Dresses need pockets. Putting hands in your pockets is awesome. But hang on! When Meghan puts her hands in her pockets it's "a step too far".pic.twitter.com/hzkgVLslj5
Exhibit 17: #MakeUpGate.
Defined brows? 
Brown eyeshadow? 
Contouring? 
Nude lip colour? 
So why is one make up job "sophisticated", and "grown up", and the other "Hollywood" and "high voltage"?pic.twitter.com/GpwFXZaKU4
Exhibit 3A: #BumpGateReloaded The Sun is conflicted about whether a pregnant woman should touch her baby bump.
Clue: why don't you mind you own business, you complete sawdust brains?pic.twitter.com/Jp8IFolUqt
Exhibit 18: #TerrorGate Meghan puts together a charity cookbook for the people who survived the Grenfell Tower fire. Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph, David Vance, and, of course, the Daily Mail, can't praise this. They insinuate she's linked to Islamic terrorists. Really?pic.twitter.com/CLb8qNjWTu
Exhibit 19: #NigglingDoubtGate
The Daily Mail's Sarah Vine, when discussing the marriage of a mixed race woman, with black heritage, uses the word "niggling".
Other words "persistent", "troubling", "nagging", "small". Sarah Vine deals in words. Why choose "niggling"?pic.twitter.com/HFpwQygoP2
Exhibit 20: #TaintedSeedGate
Since people like Piers Morgan and Phillip Schofield need "examples", how about these abhorrent racist remarks by Jo Marney? Even the Daily Mail describes these to be racist.pic.twitter.com/nSeNZJDMgm
Exhibit 21: #TrouserGate
It is suggested that the Queen objects to women royals wearing trousers and that Meghan has broken royal protocol or upset the Queen by wearing them... but is that really true? Her Majesty looks smart in her slacks, and so does Kate.pic.twitter.com/JIe9ROWfQ0
Exhibit 22: #TooWokeGate
O'Neill criticises Meghan for being "woke". Diana challenged prejudice against HIV in the 1980s. Charles campaigned about the environment since the 1980s [40 years ahead of his time]. Wills, Kate and Harry destigmatise mental illness. All fab, all woke!pic.twitter.com/MdYa6tdSxz
Exhibit 23: #TrailerTrashComedyGate
BBC comedy spoof. The fake head has somewhat darker skin than Meghan's, is bad tempered, shouty, sweary, jealous and possessive. Her character is described by The Telegraph as "trailer trash": an allusion to her heritage and class background.pic.twitter.com/v7wDXYMtzo
Taking a break from the exhibits, we need to ask ourselves, what's the effect of this racially charged reporting? The dog whistle racism works. So much so that hundreds of racist tweets were posted straight after the #Megxit announcement:https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclusive-hundreds-of-racist-and-sexist-tweets-posted-about-meghan-markle-following-announcement-to-quit-royal-family_uk_5e1f3372c5b63211760c766b …
Exhibit 24: #NegativeHeadlineGate
Analysis shows that Meghan gets *twice* as many negative headlines as positive, despite her charity work, campaigning and public duties.https://www.theguardian.com/global/2020/jan/18/meghan-gets-more-than-twice-as-many-negative-headlines-as-positive?CMP=share_btn_tw …
Exhibit 25: #ScentedCandleGate
Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect, yes? Right down to the smell. Kate's choice of Jo Malone scented candles is lauded. Yet Meghan is "kicking up a stink" with her "dictatorial" ways. Both wanted a memorable wedding, understandably.pic.twitter.com/FX0MhsSCOo
Exhibit 26: #TwitterRacismMisogynyGate
Journalism lecturer Dr John Price, whilst studying the immediate Twitterati response to the Sussex's announcement to step back found the some of the worst racism and misogyny he'd ever seen on this platform. https://amp.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/shelagh-fogarty/tweets-of-abuse-against-meghan-markle-are-unreadab …pic.twitter.com/qDZ1x7VHCO
