I'm not going to say she's lying about that, but someone should have told her there isn't going to be much sympathy for her when she lives in a mansion and wears $5000 dresses while half the country is figuring out how they're going to pay next month's rent.
No doubt, and she married into the royal family, which only has about 600 years of history to show you that it may be a life with annoyances that most don't have.
I don't really care about the British monarchy and I don't have a whole lot of knowledge of the peerage system. But there are some things I had never considered until I watched
Downton Abbey with my wife. I know it's just a TV show, but it made pretty clear that all classes had their own distinct problems and things they had to deal with. The Lord felt responsible for all the villagers and the servants. He didn't question his role. He just played it.
So I could see how it could be maddening for someone like the Queen who has always played her role to have this kind of headache from her spoiled grandson and his actress wife, a Yank, no less. Elizabeth probably just wanted to ride horses and play with Corgis, but that wasn't the fate she was handed. She accepted her role without complaint. The good stuff and the shit.

The Oprah chat came wrapped in blather about Meghan telling ‘her truth’. In reality this was a coronation of two leading members of the neo-aristocracy. Harry and Meghan have successfully positioned themselves as key figureheads of the new feudalism in which cultural power resides in the hands of small numbers of very wealthy people around Silicon Valley and Hollywood, and in which the little people’s role is to receive moral instruction from the likes of Facebook, Netflix, Oprah, Harry, Meghan… That’s the great irony of Harry and Meghan juxtaposing themselves to the monarchy, and being witlessly cheered on by the left for doing so: these two behave in a far more old-world monarchical fashion than the queen does. Their punishment of the disobedient media; their conviction that they must instruct the rest of us on how to live, how to travel, how many kids to have; their eye-wateringly arrogant mission of ‘building compassion around the world’ – they make the actual British monarchy, politically neutered by centuries of political progress, seem positively meek in comparison.
