Controversial Feminist Author Germaine Greer: Meghan Markle Will 'Bolt' on Royal Marriage
Fox News ^ | April 16 2018

Australian feminist Germaine Greer didn’t hold back when speaking about the future for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The 79-year-old public figure spoke about the soon-to-married royal couple and had some harsh predictions about how Markle, an American divorcee, will fit into her royal role.

Harry announced on Monday that Markle will become a youth ambassador to the Commonwealth.

Greer told “60 Minutes” she doesn’t think the 36-year-old former actress will enjoy being a full time royal.

Referring to Markle’s first marriage, Greer said, “I think she’ll bolt… she bolted before. She was out the door.”

She also slammed Markle’s decision to retire from acting to focus on her role as a royal.

“She will see vistas of boredom that are unbelievable.”

She added, “I think the pressure to escape from the firm is crushing.”

The feminist said Markle will always come in second to Prince Harry.

“She will be seen as an adjunct to him,” she said.

The Twitterverse did not react kindly to Greer’s assessment.

“Who gives a s--- about what Germaine Greer thinks on the royal family @60Mins. She's a senile old bat,” Twitter user Glenn A wrote.

Twitter user Gordon added, “What a spiteful woman, if she has nothing nice to say on this then keep her trap shut.”

A few users admitted Greer’s words resonated with them.

“I have to admit I've been thinking much the same. Nice girl but I don't think it will last long-term, sort of reminds me of Fergie & Andrew,” user Sarah & Jasper wrote.

Another user, Julius Perera, added Greer’s thoughts were “pretty interesting to note” and “many will agree” but no one wanted to say so.

Meeghan Markle is a lot prettier than the wife of the Duck of Windsor, the Hitler living Prince Edward. Prince Edward gaveup his thrown for that woman?

Germaine Greer is childless. Asked if she regretted not having a child, she replied: “Like many women, I chose not to have a child when I could have. Then when I thought I could fit one into my life I found out I couldn’t conceive.” Like for many feminists, motherhood is not an attractive role. Hence, abortion is the method for avoiding motherhood. Feminism has become a dark seduction by even darker people.

Back in the seventies, going bra-less, to coin a phrase, took off. I had an employee who wanted to do it but was too shy, so she wore a blouse that had two bumps on it that made it look like you weren’t wearing a bra, but you were.

Her name was Virginia (”Virgin for short, but not for long”), and even the notion that people thought they were seeing her nipples, although they weren’t, was too much for her, and she stopped wearing the blouse. LOL

While I agree with this assessment of Ms Greer, I also believe she is right. Markle has no idea what she's getting into marrying into the Royal Family. I give her five years tops.

I have no idea whether this Megan Markle woman will divorce Prince Harry eventually or not. I doubt Megan Markle or Prince Harry do, either, and I'm fairly certain Germaine Greer doesn't either. All I do know is Ms Markle is pretty, easily the best looking female British royal since...I guess forever.

Abortion’s often result in permanent sterility. The PP pimps don’t tell you that ahead of time.

Abortion may have been the cause of Greer’s inability to conceive children. She made have cause her own unfulfillment.
