The warring takes on Meghan and Harry mirror a difference in worldview that has governed domestic politics for years: between the left, with its focus on systemic change, and the right, with its emphasis on individual responsibility.

You can see strains of the system-vs.-individual divide in the immigration debate: Liberals see families fleeing from situations that are truly unsurvivable, often created by economic and political policies that the United States either abetted or even created.

The Sussexes' complaints about money-the fact that the palace declined to pay for baby Archie's security details-seemed tone-deaf, coming from people who lived in literal palaces and stepped out in designer eveningwear.

Her marriage to Prince Harry was undertaken either with ignorance about how the royal family works-because it's hard to see cold reality through a romantic fairy tale, or because your in-laws always put on a friendly face at the start-or with a hope that an antiquated institution was ready for the real change she represented.

Even the most emotionally gripping part of Oprah's interview-when Meghan talked of sharing her suicidal thoughts, then putting on a brave face at an event at the Royal Albert Hall-called up the exquisite irony of Meghan and Harry's royal lives.
