THREAD: First, this is NOT a criticism of Meghan, but is anyone else getting frustrated with all of the organizations and media hailing her as the first “feminist” in the Royal Family? An institution led by one of the longest reigning and most respected monarchs in history, 1/

a woman who has sacrificed on behalf of her country for her entire life, modernized the monarchy, supported the end of male primogeniture and is a feminist icon. All of the women currently working in the family work close to full time and are mothers. 2/

They lead important initiatives and campaigns of their own, each forging a distinct identity for their work, and in most cases eclipse the men in popularity and impact. The question is why the press and larger world minimize their power and hard work by calling M the first? 3/
