Ukrainian flag. Blue sky over a field of grain. Yeah, I don't get how someone would know "Slava Ukraini" and not know this. ... unless it's someone who just doesn't Google things, like hymn lyrics or when to curtsey. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is so crazy to me is seeing her fans twisting themselves into knots trying to explain that this was actually intentional and she meant to paint the flag upside down. Is it really that hard to admit that she made a mistake? She's human and she got the flag wrong. Big whoop.
The overselling of her genius, sincerity, and overall awesomeness has annoyed me since she started dating Harry. She isn't just a college graduate, she's a brilliant expert on global affairs. She's not just a activist, she's been a activist since elementary school and here is a list of every humanitarian thing she's ever done! She's not just a good cook, she makes 100% homemade meals from fresh ingredients she's grown in her own garden and then mails baked goods to needy people! Nothing she does is every wrong, she is actually the most perfect human being that has ever existed (definitely better than Kate), and anyone who questions it or doesn't agree is a horrible person who is out to destroy her.

This was referenced in the Kate thread, but at one of her Invictus Games appearances, Meghan painted a message of solidarity for Ukraine but she painted the flag upside down. [Daily Mail link] It's a small gaffe but in keeping with the general nature of their appearances - sloppy with little care as to details. She has her own personal photographer follow her around? Is this something that the rest do.

The Sussexes have been using Chris Allerton as their private photographer since their wedding. Beginning with Archie's christening, they developed the routine of excluding the press and having Allerton take photographs - photographs on which the Sussexes own the copyright.
He followed them around LA when they first arrived and were doing random "volunteering" and the photos were used as action shots on their website.

Indeed, so they can license the photos themselves and make money from them -- something they could not do as working royals. Speaking of volunteering, I wonder if they've continued to be "boots on the ground" for those organizations (Baby2Baby and Project Angel Food), or if they abandoned them once they had their photo ops.

I’m still waiting to hear if Meghan is still in contact with the women’s shelter she randomly visited when they were in Canada.

My hard copy is supposed to arrive from Amazon today. Can't wait!! I feel like I may have already read all the best parts in the articles previewing the book, but hope that's not the case.
