This is a good example of what H&M were, and are, dealing with. No wonder they fled. There are many glaring examples of how Megan was treated in the Press compared to Kate--I think 25 examples or more. Kate would do one thing--like cradling her baby bump--and it would be praised, while Megan doing the same thing was ridiculed. Many examples of the relentless and often racist coverage, most of it untrue or distorted. And, when called out, the response is always similar to yours--well, it 'wasn't done as an act of racism'. Whether intentional or not, there it is--H&M's child depicted as a monkey. Pity the Palace did as poorly with H&M as they did with Princess Diana, allowing the death of H&M's reputations by a thousand cuts, many by the Press, many by the Palace, itself. Julie Birchill nails it. "Likely, both believe that they’re up there with the world’s legendary lovers, but there’s more than a whiff of the imperious Miss Piggy and her adoring Kermit about them" 1 2
