There's certainly a large amount of antipathy directed towards Meghan, but for me, it's less racism and more a real demonstration of how much class matters in the UK, especially in relation to the Royal Family.
In the first instance, Kate Middleton was given a hard time for a while, before it became evident she was a good fit for the 'job' - and she was a middle-class white person, which some people might imagine isn't a million miles away from the Royal Family. But it's not. We forget how she was treated. And maybe it wasn't noticed that much outside of the UK.
Also, in Wallis Simpson, there's an established example in history of how an American woman can represent a threat to the integrity of the Royal Family, along with the stereotype of the 'vulgar American' - having no sense of decorum, being brash and obsessed with your own celebrity. Even to this day, by aristocratic standards, to be American is to be seen as having no class, in any sense of the word.
So, in my eyes, when it comes to Meghan, racism is in the mix, but it's trumped by class.
To keep things on track - I see British Vogue was making a big deal about Idris Elba's wedding and was mentioning some sort of exclusive in the July issue.
