What I think about what's going on with Meghan Markle.
I feel like one of the things that happens when people say, " I don't understand what she's done wrong. She hasn't done anything", is that for Hollywood standards, no, maybe she hasn't done anything wrong, the babyshower, the demands, all that, based on the standards of Hollywood could be okay. The point is that she is now one of the faces of the British monarchy, she now represents it, and all this she is doing is not something that is usual in British royalty, they are reserved but still make the people feel that they are part of that family, they tend to solve their problems in silence or at least without so much scandal (most of the time)
And if you ask me, I think that Meghan has been over-criticized in some aspects, she has been expected to be perfect from the beginning and that she doesn't make any mistakes (which is a bit stupid because there are many protocols and rules that royalty must follow), they have compared it to Catherine, and I personally think that comparisons make no sense by the simple fact that no one is the same person.
So to say that "Meghan is not like Catherine" is a bit stupid, because they obviously are different people, different women, with different nationalities and that are used to different cultures
And no, I'm not a fan of Meghan, or Harry, in fact I support the Cambridge's. But that doesn't make me blind to everything that is happening around Meghan, and everyone in the royal family. Did Meghan make a mistake? Yes, several times. But that doesn't mean she should be sent to hell because of it. Put yourself in her shoes and you probably won't take the critism that far, remember that she hasn't stopped being a human being. Does Meghan deserve what's happening to her? No, not entirely, at least. But their fans have to stop being so defensive, must accept that she has been wrong, and that she IS NOT A HOLLYWOOD STAR, no anymore, and that the "right ways" of behaving have changed
And also, if you want that Meghan and Harry to be respected, if you want them to stop being so criticized, you have to stop paying with the same coin, that does not make you better, but the same or even worse. Not all of you do it, but I got to see people criticising the dress of Catherine at the tour of Pakistan when she was dressed in the TRADITIONAL CLOTHING of that country, I saw people criticising their children, and I think that this is a general rule, CHILDREN DON'T GET INTO THIS FIGHTS. And another thing, not all the criticism Meghan receives is for racism, stop thinking that, if we want to make racism cease to exist first we must stop thinking that ABSOLUTELY everything is about racism, that there are people who criticize her for being racist? Yes, there are. But not everyone is like that.
With this I'm not saying that the Cambridge's fans are saints, it's just that I'm talking about Meghan and her fandom, we all have to stop all this critism, if you don't care about MM and PH then don't look for pictures on Instagram to criticize them, if you don't care about the Cambridge's stop making critics about what they do and what they don't, because if you DON'T CARE about someone, you literally give a f**k about what they do, or about what they wear. And if you are going to make critics (because, of course, you're free of doing them) make them in the most constructive way. They are not perfect, they are going to make a lot of mistakes, but again they're only humans, being part of the monarchy don't make them robots.
And finally remember that at the end of the day they are a family, one that has suffered way too much, never forget about it.
All this is obviously just my opinion.
And I'm so sorry if there are grammatical mistakes š.
And please, don't hate me for this, or start saying horrible this about this in the comments.

The Real Jaime Lannister
The real Jaime often thinks of Brienne, and how she fares, and if sheās still honorable as ever.Ā
The real Jaime stabbed a king so a city will not burn. Because he cares for the small people. The weak, the innocent. Those he swore to protect. The real Jaime CARES. ABOUT. THEM.Ā
The real Jaime lived with the name Kingslayer because he also felt he deserved it. Despite saving a city he did turn his back on a king he swore to protect. And so he still carried the shame BECAUSE HE WAS THAT HONORABLE.Ā
The real Jaime lost his hand to save a stranger from rape. The real Jaime jumped into a bear pit to save a friend. The real Jaime gave Valyrian Steel to a woman he respected.Ā
The real Jaime rode North to follow Brienne and fight for the living - whether it was against White Walkers or Lady Stoneheart.Ā
The real Jaime is good and honorable and kind.Ā
And the whole of Westeros matters to him more than his incest and his sister.Ā
D&D can suck my dick - they will not take Jaime away from me. Motherfucking assholes.Ā

All right so youāre fucking telling me that Jaime fookin Lannister, who spent the whole battle of Winterfell making sure his girl didnāt die, who knighted his gd lady, who helped save the entire country from White Walkers, who vowed to fight for the living is just suddenly gonna romantically love his abusive sister again and wants innocent people to die? LOLOKAY. Good one D&D.Ā

His sister seldom wept but when she was with him. She could not stand for others to think her weak. Only to her twin did she show her wounds.

This is NOT Jaime Lannister
Okay, history lesson, in the books Jaime literally burned a note from Cersei telling him that they could be together and that she needed him more than ever beforeā¦to run around the Riverlands with Brienne.Ā
Youāre telling me that after getting the girl, Jaimeās down to die with Cersei, and tell her that sheās the only one who matters to him???Ā
He sacrificed his reputation, his honor, to save the people of Kingās Landing, and yāall just had him say that he doesnāt care about the innocents?
D&D didnāt just write him badly, they fundamentally misunderstand Jaimeās character. Jaime isnātĀ āaddictedā to Cersei, he has the capacity to move on.Ā Heās intelligent, heās fiercely loyal, and if they think that he would take Brienneās virginity and be in a relationship with her for weeks at the very least, and act like itās nothingā¦they just donāt getĀ Jaime.Ā
There is no redemption for him on this show after this, no way to explain. Thereās no POINT to the pivotal bath scene in Harrenhal, because it was about his honor, his capacity to do what is right and judge for himself, not jump blindly after Cersei all his life. From that moment, Jaime gains a part of himself back from Brienne-the idealistic knight he once was is reborn, she reminds him that he can be that person again, and he is better for it.Ā
Jaime and Brienne make each other better in every way, and nothing in this season makes sense in light of this episode. Absolutely nothing.Ā

D & D: Nikolaj we need you to comment on episode 5
Nikolaj: Sure. I honestly am so proud of Jaime for having told Cersie he doesnāt love her anymore. Itās clear that that part of him needed to be confronted, he wanted to be the best man he could for Brienne so he needed to end that toxic cycle with Cersei. I think youāll all enjoy next episode in which Jaime takes the boat and sails back to Winterfell to finally be with his true love.
D & D: What are you talking about?
Nikolaj: Episode 5 like you said, and a bit of 6 donāt worry I didnāt spoil so much
D & D: We didnāt shoot that
Nikolaj: I did, on my phone, wanna see it?
D & D: Nikolaj-
Nikolaj: bye, Gwen and I need to finish filming the Braime Bunch Spin-off
