The answer for me is a very big no.

@WWAFPD that's a very different situation from the one described and doesn't even begin to compare.

One born in Malaysia in a public hospital with a midwife. One born on Cocos Islands in a two bed hospital. Brilliant care in the first. In the second, I had planned to stay in hospital for one night as my older child was only three, but the two nurses hated each other and argued constantly about my care, so I upped and left.

In one sense those "dignified" headlines are appropriate. Catherine will make the perfect Queen Consort. She doesn't have to think. She can wear boring clothes and she can be "nice." In contrast Meghan is spirited, highly intelligent and wants her voice to be heard. This is why, if it could all have been done differently, she and Harry would have been such an asset to an otherwise boring as bat shit family who always do the right thing. Sadly that opportunity was missed.

As a teacher this made me weep. There is never any excuse to treat a child badly and I am so glad that your son found love and safety. There are teachers out there who are like this, but the majority are kind and caring. I hope he continues to thrive.
