Meghan Markle is truly living up to her title of &#8220;The American Princess,&#8221; being that she allegedly compelled her husband, Prince Harry, into pulling out of a 40-year-old Christmas tradition because it offended her sensibilities.
According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6500347/Prince-Harry-snub-traditional-Royal-Family-Boxing-Day-shoot-avoid-upsetting-Meghan.html">Daily Mail</a>, Prince Harry will be skipping the &#8220;traditional Boxing Day pheasant shoot with his brother Prince William at Sandringham to avoid upsetting his animal-loving wife Meghan.&#8221;
Prince Charles and Prince William will be attending the traditional shoot. Prince George, William&#8217;s son, may also be in attendance. Prince Harry has participated in the event for more than 20 years; he will be missing this because his wife opposes it on the grounds of animal cruelty. His absence will undoubtedly create tension between the brothers and their wives.
&#8220;Harry and Prince William have enjoyed hunting together over the years and it has provided them with the opportunity to strengthen their brotherly bond,&#8221; reports the Daily Mail. &#8220;Now Royal watchers fear that Harry&#8217;s absence will only serve to deepen the reported tensions between the siblings and their wives.&#8221;
A royal source told the Sunday Mirror that Prince William is increasingly growing concerned that Meghan is pulling Harry away from the family.
&#8220;William sees this as another concerning example of his brother being pulled away from his family by his new wife,&#8221; the source reportedly said. &#8220;Harry&#8217;s always loved hunting and it has provided them with a great chance to bond as brothers.&#8221;
&#8220;But now it looks like Harry&#8217;s shooting days are over,&#8221; the source continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s the latest point of contention between the Princes.&#8221;
Prince Harry has reportedly changed a great deal since having met Meghan Markle and began showing aversions toward hunting after she expressed disappointment with a wild boar hunt in Germany while they were dating. He declined the Boxing Day last year and skipped the grouse hunt at Balmoral three months ago.&#8203;
&#8220;Since then, he has also become more distant from the group of friends he grew up with,&#8221; reports the Daily Mail. &#8220;Fashion-conscious Meghan has influenced his dress sense &#8211; with Harry copying the brands she wears and becoming increasingly eco-conscious. Onlookers have remarked that Harry is looking much slimmer, claiming that he has adopted elements of her healthy and often vegan diet.&#8221;
Being that Meghan Markle hails from Hollywood, she has also been shown to be quite liberal on certain social issues. In July, after Ireland legalized abortion, she<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/32944/meghan-markle-pleased-ireland-legalized-abortion-paul-bois"> reportedly expressed</a> that she was &#8220;pleased&#8221; by the decision.
&#8220;A pleasure to meet Prince Harry &amp; the Duchess of Sussex at the British Ambassador&#8217;s Residence this evening,&#8221; Irish political leader Catherine Noone wrote on Twitter at the time. &#8220;The Duchess &amp; I had a chat about the recent referendum result. She watched with interest &amp; was pleased to see the result.&#8221;
The vote that legalized abortion in Ireland had the backing of virtually<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30373/liam-neeson-pushes-abortion-ireland-we-must-stand-paul-bois"> every major Irish celebrity, </a>from the band U2 to actor Liam Neeson, not to mention immense backing from George Soros. No surprise then that royal elites like Markle would endorse such a referendum.
Since the British royal protocol bars the family from sharing their political opinions both privately and publicly, people on Twitter began expressing concern regarding Noone&#8217;s tweet, which then prompted her to delete the post.
&#8220;I deleted it because it was unintentionally misleading &#8211; the Duchess was not in any way political,&#8221; Noone told <a href="https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/meghan-markle-drawn-into-an-online-abortion-row-by-irish-senator-37103886.html">The Irish Independent</a>.
Though Noone has a bias, given that she <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2018/04/02/pro-abortion-politician-under-fire-for-bigoted-ageist-attack-on-elderly-catholic-priest/">supports abortion on demand</a>, other attendees of the summer party confirmed that Markle had expressed her support for abortion to them, according to <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/meghan-markle-blunders-into-irish-abortion-debate">the Daily Beast</a>.
UPDATE: Prince Harry reportedly partook in the &#8220;Boxing Day&#8221; pheasant shoot as scheduled. The royal palace also denied rumors of Meghan Markle&#8217;s disapproval.

On Sunday, England&#8217;s Princess Kate, accompanied by her four-year-old son George and her three-year-old daughter Charlotte, was photographed with her children playing in the sun at the Beaufort Polo Club in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, while the children&#8217;s father, Prince William, was playing in the Maserati Royal Charity Polo Trophy. That would seem innocent enough, but photographs of young Prince George <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/prince-george-toy-guns-photos-gloucestershire-polo-match-should-children-be-allowed-a8393151.html?utm_term=Autofeed&amp;utm_campaign=Echobox&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1528745475">elicited outrage</a> for one reason: he was playing with a toy gun.

Other photographs showed young George playing with a knife and handcuffs; all part of his fascination with police. Last November, George&#8217;s father William got a request list from George for Christmas that had only one item listed: a toy police car.
Later, in March, at a reception honoring the Metropolitan Police, an officer joked that George could join the police cadets; William reportedly replied, &#8220;Well, he does like the police at the moment.&#8221;
In opposition to George&#8217;s penchant for police paraphernalia, here are some sample comments from Twitter: &#8220;Sad to see George playing with a gun when the whole country has a gun/knife crime situation.&#8221; &#8220;Thought he was a sensitive child. Better if he was seen playing with a toy car or football. Sadly the royals will never change.&#8221;
He&#8217;s four years old.

The music legend sadly passed last Thursday, at the young age of 57.
Hillary, looking to score some cool points and win over a few Prince fans, ended up receiving an online tongue-lashing instead. One Twitter user called the stunt to add Prince&#8217;s &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Crazy&#8221; &#8220;disrespectful&#8221; and in poor taste.

Most of Hillary&#8217;s pandering escapades end in turmoil. For instance, the former secretary of state once tried to court Hispanic voters by telling them she was just like their abuela (Spanish for grandmother). The &#8220;Hispandering&#8221; attempt resulted in <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/2085/notmyabuela-clintons-hispandering-leads-massive-amanda-prestigiacomo">mass outrage</a> from the Hispanic community, as seen by the trending #NotMyAbuela hashtag on Twitter at the time.
Another cringeworthy moment was when Hillary, a 68-year-old white woman, told an urban radio show that she always keeps <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/5070/you-wont-believe-how-hillary-pandering-black-amanda-prestigiacomo">hot sauce in her purse</a>. Lyrics in a released Beyonce song, the racially-charged &#8220;Formation,&#8221; say that the songstress always keeps hot sauce in her bag, and, apparently, if the worshiped professional booty-shaker Beyonce does it, then Hillary will claim to do it, too.

President Obama might maintain a &#8220;<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/02/12/deafening-silence-obama-2016-dems-mum-on-recent-police-deaths.html">deafening silence</a>&#8221; after the deaths of law enforcement personnel, but he never misses an opportunity to weigh in after deaths of popular figures or those that might be used to promote his social justice agenda. Thursday, President Obama publicly mourned the passing of &#8220;creative icon&#8221; Prince, saying he taught us that &#8220;a strong spirit transcends rules.&#8221; 
&#8220;Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent,&#8221; Obama said in a statement. &#8220;&#8216;A strong spirit transcends rules,&#8217; Prince once said &#8212; and nobody&#8217;s spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative.&#8221;
The Hill notes that the Obamas are big fans of Prince and even <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/245011-white-house-defends-private-prince-party">invited him</a>, along with Stevie Wonder, to perform at a VIP event at the White House last June.
Obama&#8217;s fellow activist Al Sharpton also chimed in on Prince&#8217;s death, overtly using it as a chance to push his racial justice message. 
<blockquote>
&#8220;What many people didn&#8217;t know is that he would support many of our civil rights causes.&#8221;

</blockquote>
&#8220;What many people didn&#8217;t know is that [Prince] would support many of our civil rights causes,&#8221; <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/277200-sharpton-prince-very-much-involved-in-human-rights">said</a> Sharpton on MSNBC Live Thursday. &#8220;He was not one to make a lot about his humanitarian and activist involvement, but he was very much involved in what was going on in the country. He was very much involved in human rights.&#8221;
Sharpton said that the popstar had quietly donated money to Trayvon Martin&#8217;s family and held a concert in Baltimore to support the relatives of Freddie Gray.
&#8220;I remember when we were raising the issue of justice around the Trayvon Martin killing, Prince called me and sent some funds that I gave to the family for him, and [he] never wanted recognition for it,&#8221; he said, adding that following Gray&#8217;s death he &#8220;went into Baltimore around the policing issue and did a concert to help the family.&#8221;

One of the princes of Saudi Arabia is facing a <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3281354/I-prince-want-Saudi-royal-Prince-Majed-bin-Abdullah-bin-Abdulaziz-Al-Saud-accused-cocaine-fueled-rage-threatened-kill-Los-Angeles-mansion-staff-watched-pleasured-male-aide.html">lawsuit</a> for allegedly sexual assault, battery and false imprisonment after his riotous, cocaine-heavy partying allegedly resulting in sexually abusing his female staffers, committing a gay sex act, and making a male aide fart in his face.
The lawsuit was filed by three female staffers of Prince Majed bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, son of the late King Abdullah. The women <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/20/us/saudi-prince-los-angeles-sex-case/">accuse</a> him of sexual assault, battery, and false imprisonment. The charges stem from incidents occurring in the Sept. 21-25 timeframe, where the prince threw massive parties on back-to-back evenings in his $37 million Beverly Glen mansion. The raucous parties featured hookers, alcohol, cocaine and a lot of unwanted sexual advances.
According to the accusations, the prince took a liking to one of the female staffers and told her to party with him, warning that if she didn&#8217;t, he would kill her. He also went on top of another woman and began grinding on her in a &#8220;sexual and aggressive manner.&#8221; The three women also claim that Al Saud shouted, &#8220;I want to pee pee!&#8221; and attempted to urinate on them.
When Al Saud was asked to stop his behavior, he allegedly responded, &#8220;I am a prince and I do what I want.You are nobody!&#8221;
The three staffers were terrified of Al Saud and pleaded with one of the prince&#8217;s male aides to let them out, as they had seen Al Saud physically abuse other aides. But they were forced to stay, and one of the females went to pour Al Saud a drink, only to get assaulted by Al Saud and left her bruised.
<blockquote>
&#8220;I am a prince and I do what I want.You are nobody!&#8221;
Alleged statement by Prince Majed bin Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
</blockquote>
The female staffers tried to escape, but were locked in. Al Saud threatened one of the females, &#8220;You are going to go upstairs. I will be there in two minutes and you&#8217;ll do whatever I want. If not, then I&#8217;ll kill you.&#8221;
The three women were forced to watch the prince have his penis stroked by a male aide, and then watch another male aide fart in his face. At that point, Al Saud told one of the females to lick his body. The police were eventually called to the house and they found the prince&#8217;s girlfriend and one of the female staffers covered in blood and crying.
In Saudi Arabia, homosexuality is <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/gay-parties-raided-saudi-arabia-religious-police-arrest-several-people-suspicion-1968038">illegal</a> and can lead to severe punishments, such as flogging, castration, and even death by stoning. It is also <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3038135/Australian-man-jailed-six-months-FLOGGED-28-times-drinking-beer-Saudi-Arabia-won-t-let-LEAVE.html">illegal</a> to own alcohol in Saudi Arabia.
The LA District Attorney dropped felony assault charges against Al-Saud, but could potentially bring about misdemeanor charges. The prince&#8217;s attorney dismissed the allegations as &#8220;baseless.&#8221;

Saudi Prince  Accused of Abusing Female Staffers, Gay Sex Acts

Saudi Arabia

Sexual Assault

On Wednesday afternoon, a bleeding woman was found climbing an 8-ft wall escaping an alleged sexual assault at the estate of a Saudi prince. The alleged attacker was identified as 28-year-old Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud, a royal member of the House of Saud. Al-Saud was consequently arrested outside his rented, $37 million, 22,000 square-foot property, at the heart of the affluent Beverly Glen area of Los Angeles, on suspicion of forced oral copulation of an adult, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-saudi-prince-arrest-beverly-hills-20150924-story.html">reported</a> the Los Angeles Times.
According to <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/saudi-prince-majed-abdulaziz-al-saud-forced-oral-sex-beverly-glen-california/">CBS News</a>, Al-Saud does not have <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomatic_immunity">diplomatic immunity</a>. The Geneva Convention legal precedent dictates that the dignitary status of the accused and the severity of the crime committed must be assessed to determine immunity. It is unclear whether Al-Saud will evade prosecution in the United States and flee to the patriarchal safe-haven of Saudi Arabia. 
The incident comes just days after Saudi Arabia&#8217;s inexplicable appointment to the United Nation&#8217;s human rights panel. UN delegates have yet to comment on the matter. To suggest that Saudi Arabia&#8217;s domestic policy toward women is unpleasant is an understatement. Misogyny is sutured into the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_politic">body politic</a> of Saudi Arabia. Gendered minefields, weaponized as dictates, corporal punishments, and regressive social constructs menace, women from Riyadh to Jeddah.
Saudi laws read like a catalogue of Draconian gender-policing. Women are prohibited from driving, leaving their house without a male relative, referred to as a <a href="http://www.theweek.co.uk/60339/eleven-things-women-in-saudi-arabia-cannot-do">mahram</a>, and voting in non-municipal elections. This <a href="http://www.postcolonialeurope.net/uploads/Low,_Martina_119.pdf">social construction of space and gender</a> serves to marginalize women through a conscious process of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alterity">othering</a>, reasserting gender hierarchies and its discontents. The House of Saud&#8217;s concerted efforts to oppress women is not just a symptom of a single statute or policy, but a syndrome of absolute, totalitarian patriarchy invariably stitched into the fiber of the regime. &#8220;Saudi Arabia&#8217;s restrictions on women go far, far beyond just driving though. It is a larger system of customs ad laws that make women heavily reliant on men for their basic, day-to-day survival,&#8220; <a>said</a> the Washington Post&#8217;s Max Fisher.
<blockquote>
For Saudi plutocrats and royals, fueled by oil-wealth, unrestrained carnal indulgence and opulent displays of hedonism are part of the job.

</blockquote>
As a groomed and garish child of the regime, Al-Saud follows Saudi suit with his country&#8217;s proscriptions against female agency. Al-Saud&#8217;s sexual assault comes as no surprise to <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/saudi-prince-majed-abdulaziz-al-saud-forced-oral-sex-beverly-glen-california/">women&#8217;s&#8217; rights groups</a> fighting to prosecute Saudi delegates all around the world for the sexual crimes committed under the cover of diplomatic influence. In fact, last week, Saudi diplomat Majed Hassan Ashoor, escaped prosecution under the auspices of diplomatic immunity after being accused of repeatedly raping and physically abusing two Nepalese maids in India. Nepalese ambassador to India Deep Upadhyay furiously condemned the miscarriage of justice. &#8220;The victims must get justice,&#8221; announced Upadhyay, demanding a reevaluation of diplomatic immunity procedures.
For Saudi plutocrats and royals, fueled by oil-wealth, unrestrained carnal indulgence and opulent displays of hedonism are part of the job. Living a life of leisure gets boring without Roman-style orgies. While peddling puritanical laws and enforcing harsh punishments against those accused of transgressing literalist Koranic sanctions, Saudi Arabia&#8217;s princes can indulge in the splendor of flesh. This religious hypocrisy is exemplified by reports of lavish underground parties thrown by Saudi elites.
According to WikiLeaks cables, the underground party circuit is &#8220;thriving and throbbing.&#8221; As patron of the Dionysian festivities, the Saudi royal family bathes its members with privilege far beyond the comprehension of ordinary citizens beleaguered by medieval laws. &#8220;Alcohol, though strictly prohibited by Saudi law and custom, was plentiful at the party&#8217;s well-stocked bar,&#8221; <a>cited</a> the cables, &#8220;It was also reported that through word-of-mouth that a number of guests were in fact &#8216;working girls,&#8217; not uncommon for such parties.&#8221; Regaled by prostitutes and alcohol, the Saudi elite enjoy &#8220;<a>hashish</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a>cocaine</a>&#8221; behind closed doors, protected by the privacy of gated mansions, high-walls, and armed guards. 
Despite an egregious pattern of institutionalized abuse against women, Saudi princes often walk away with impunity, free to continue enjoying their opulent lifestyles. Al-Saud merits the rebuke of the international community, a gesture that unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future. Leader of the UN human rights&#8217; panel and key regional ally to the United States, Saudi Arabia is ensconced in the corridors of power. How many more victims have to surface until justice supersedes nepotism?
