I think the elephant in the room is.. how on Earth has it been missed that this suicidal ideation seems to completely stem from royals talking about her child's skin color (when this is something I'd assume nearly every parent of mixed-race children consider, along with their extended families and neighbors and friends and friends of friends) and also from public opinion of Britons who can be a shade cruel at times. In England the royals are treated like politicians, not like a child-gloves affair of respect and admiration, and each royal expects the kind of talk.
So, a woman gets to freeze the sensibilities of millions of watchers as soon as she says she felt like not existing any longer? Teenagers feel that way every couple months over not having cool-enough shoes. There's a stigma about not being sensitive to someone's ideations, and with good reason; they could harm themselves and obviously they are in pain. But what about a case like this, where a grown woman who's accomplished a good deal, rests her very life on what strangers think about her, and what in-laws might decry about her spawn? Of the millions of persons who have affairs far-worse in their lives, I could name 20 of them in 2 minutes, whom I know closely. More than half are learning from their adversities and all of zero are crying fire in a theatre about suicide.
Why are people expected to suspect persons of deranged abuses just because a self-styled victim claims suicidal feelings of her own, and why does this necessitate that these boogeymen are actually to blame always?
She is upsetting an institution and people feel one way or another. I am all for leaving families if there's enough discomfort, but also for the work it takes to lengthen one's fuse which she is refusing to do.
