Megxit: A Love Story
Written by Miranda Vidak

I have so many subjects lined up to write about in the next couple of weeks, yet people keep asking me to write about Megxit. I budged since Meghan Markle has been sitting in my quarantine folder for two years now. Pending to be written.
You see the feature image in this article? I have that picture saved for years now, for — when I’ll do a Meghan post. And I don’t feel like I missed writing a piece on Meghan so far; I have a feeling the subject of her will span well into decades to come. I can write about Meghan in 2030, and there will still be issues to write about.
This is that kind of story.
Why didn’t I write an article on Megxit last week when it was announced? The shocking story of leaving the Royal Family? Because, honestly, I wasn’t that shocked they left, and second, I didn’t think it was necessary to add on it. These two people want to leave and get lost, and let them catch a breath of unpolluted air.
They don’t need our countless opinion pieces; who cares what we think? Or what anyone thinks?
But since you’re insisting, and leaving me comments about royal exit under posts that have nothing to do with the subject, here goes.
My unsolicited opinion.
It was Valentine’s Day this past weekend, so this will be a love story.
After all, Megxit is actually just a love story.
I’m sure I won’t exactly collect brownie points for this article; my views are somewhat anti miniwan majority. It comes down to a simple concept. The world does not like women like Meghan Markle. The general, generic world will never like women like Meghan Markle.
She annoys people looking to find offense in others; she can get things done, and she makes everything look easy. The people who like Jennifer Aniston’s of this world do not like the Meghan Markle’s of the world. Jennifer makes women feel safe. She’s not threatening. Women like Angelina, Meghan; they project something unsettling. You don’t know why they give you this threatening feeling, but something about them scares you. You’d rather they just exist outside of your eyesight, even though you don’t really know them, nor they will ever be a part of your actual, real life.
If this paragraph offended you, you are a part of the minivan majority.
Let’s deconstruct.
People say Meghan is a social climber. People roll their eyes when she shows up on TV and says — “Before we met, I did not know who Harry is”. First of all, you don’t know what she meant. It might as well mean she didn’t know much about him — personally. Second, you gotta decide if she is a shrewd social climber or she’s just a normal chick who got something out of reach for you. Because from where I’m standing, if she’s shrewd like you claim, wouldn’t she be a little slicker than claim she doesn’t know who, arguably, one of the two most famous men on the planet is?
You gotta decide here. She can’t be both.
People who are hysterical online after her every movement, shouting these “revelations” out to the world, trying to expose her? Expose her to whom? Public? People? Who exactly? No one cares.
The only person that matters here is her husband, and he obviously doesn’t care if she knew who he was, or she didn’t know who he was, or what the hell she meant by that. That is the sole power of love. To be loved, simply, no matter what you do or say.
I’ll give you the perfect example of how powerful their love is. When the media got involved in Charles and Diana’s relationship, they broke them apart. When the media got involved in Harry and Megan’s relationship, they made their bond even stronger.
That is the power of love.
The absence of love in Charles’ and Diana’s example, resulted in a mess, grief, and death. And with Harry and Meghan it resulted in — fuck this, we are out of here! Congratulations, media, you just made them that much more powerful and basically the strongest trench buddies in the entire world.
And when dubious people insist— “but she changed him”! Nah. She just LOVED HIM.
Also, does he belong to you? Did he change to you or for you? Failing to understand your nonsense.
To dare to think this down gangsta man is someone that can be altered, or convinced in something he doesn’t want to do, really just showcases the intelligence of the people claiming it. It always comes to that, people unhappy with their lives do not want to tune out the noise, sit with themselves and make a precise plan of how to change their lives; instead, they welcome noise, gossip, assumptions, and commenting on people they’ve never met.
You can see by the sentences these people form how unevolved their consciousness is — “Meghan wants this and Harry wants this…” — the human species who think they know what someone they have never seen in their life thinks or wants, was always a source of my biggest wonder.
People who have no drive to make things happen or are riddled with bad circumstances, and problems; hey I get it, it’s hard. It’s easy to come home at the end of a hard day, turn on your computer, and let your frustration out. Seeing someone moving through life and getting things done is hard; instead of getting inspired, we get disheartened.
Fight that urge.
I’m sure you can find a dash of inspiration in every human being; if you chose that route.
As for Meghan, to get out of her hateful family, the one that sends letters to your future husband not to marry you; to get out of those odds, go to college, run around getting the shittiest jobs, step by step, to a better job, getting into a relationship you don’t see yourself in, leaving that relationship, always just going forward and moving up — that is not just luck. That kind of life requires tons of drive, constant movement, stamina, and laser focus; it’s not a fun process to go through. It’s easier to watch Netflix and complain.
Netflix & Complain? (Trademark pending?). It’s so much more fun to sit in front of the TV and complain. Success requires a lot of physical movement, no chilling or sitting around; constantly moving is how you put things in motion, and many people are just not cut out for that.
Meghan can be all the good stuff, and she can be all the bad stuff you say about her. But that doesn’t matter. Your opinion doesn’t matter nor will it change her life. What did you expect? Your words or thoughts won’t change her life. You can say things and make them into the truth.
As for the royal exit, I totally support it. That palace treated that woman like their colony; be happy you’re here woman, enjoy our shit, but don’t stir too much trouble. Know your place. They had so many opportunities to come out with a statement, when the media hounded her, and ask the press to be more dignified.
Straight Outta Compton? Really? This is the title you don’t react on?
Not expecting a Queen should send out press releases, given her position. But Charles could. William could. Kate could. They did nothing. Not just that, the insiders, and courtiers INSIDE the palace kept leaking unflattering information.
Therefore, exit is inevitable.
Exit is love.
And if you’re one of those people who don’t hate Meghan, you are on the opposite spectrum of this phenomenon, and you write inspiring slogans on Instagram that go something like — “39 and divorced and black and he left the kingdom for you, don’t settle for anything else” — please don’t sell yourself short.
It’s great to be inspired, but it’s not an absolute goal to live by. Having their story as your guideline might set you up for more failure. This is their story, and yours is awaiting your own custom-made love.
Brexit — disaster.
