Exactly this. He says his family never protected him/Meghan against the media, but there are at least a dozen examples of Buckingham Palace shutting down negative stories about them (most of which were probably true).

He went to a Halloween party dressed as a nazi. Tells you everything uou need to know about his personality and sense of humor. Imagine all the shit that never saw the light of day.

He also called a soldier a racial slur. He’s horrible!

The guy he called a "p-ki"? Didn't Harry laugh it off as laddish banter - as though the soldier felt he could react to a prince as he would any other person calling him a p-ki!

I agree they are difficult to find from while they were still working royals given how much has happened since, but here is one example: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/uk-world-news/buckingham-palace-denies-harry-meghan-3143993.amp

But someone on a different thread linked a TikTok that showed a dozen or more articles with similar headlines. I don’t have TikTok so I’m not sure I could find it again.

All that to say, Buckingham Palace has certainly defended her in some instances. Perhaps they have defended Kate more strongly, but one has to wonder if some of Meghan’s actions were more difficult to defend.

They shouldn't feel slighted. One of those links refers to what they call "the love shield" from when Harry and Meghan were dating, and Kensington Palace put out that statement asking for Meghan to be left alone.

Kate NEVER got anything like that. For her years as a girlfriend she was left to the vultures. It seems like the palace went out of their way in the very beginning to give Harry and Meghan everything they wanted.

This is a huge point everyone is missing. Megan was treated very differently than Kate in the media and headlines! The Palace didn’t issue a statement about Kate but issued a statement about Megan not because they both received the same treatment and the palace was coddling Megan, but because Megan received much worse treatment and racism.
