If you don't know about the latest smashing announcement made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Wednesday then you are probably new to Earth. In which case-- hello!
World War Three has taken a backseat as Twitter is bombarded with hashtags dedicated to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
For the uninitiated, the Royals of Sussex on Wednesday made the shocking announcement that they would be stepping back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family. By stepping down from their royal duties, the couple revealed that they plan to "become financially independent." In their big revelation, they also made it clear that will continue to "fully support Her Majesty The Queen."
The two are forging history as they embark on a new 'royal-free' (well, almost!) journey towards a "progressive new role".
Although shocking, their joint statement was not entirely unsurprising, given how British tabloids handled Meghan's entry into the Royal Family.
While they were busy dishing out insults at Markle, they are yet to give a come-back to this man.
Anyway....Twitter had a LOT to say!
Meghan finally got around to watching “Get Out” over the holidays. https://t.co/f82PQU2hVy

Prince Andrew, a literal peadophile: the palace comes out swinging.
The media tear #MeghanMarkle down with blatant racism and hate: the palace does nothing.

And obviously Netizens blamed it on the British tabloids (deservingly).
Good for Meghan and Harry opting out of the UK tabloids staggering racism and the lack of support from the royal family. They will be fine.
