A moment of silence for the people who took a day off that day.

What a great kid. If that was my son I'd be very proud.

The younger generation do not read tabloids trash. Only old people.

Who needs a title when you have the love of the people

[robertgreene]

Aker really made my day. What a confident young man acknowledging the role of women in our lives. Megan is so intelligent and loveable as a person. Plus, that boy is 100% right - Megan is a beauty, inside and out!

[carmenwilley]

She really carries herself well. Too bad England newspapers did not give her a chance. You can see that she cares about doing good works.

You don't need a crown to be a princess, what a remarkable woman!

[lindawilliams]

The Royals doesn't like anything different. She could have been such an asset!! And she is Beautiful!!

[danieleduchene-alessandrin]

What a delightful young man/crowd. Hats off to these young people.

Meghan is so beautiful. Both her and Harry are naturally charming. With or without royal titles, they can still help the community and inspire people around the world. I wish them all the best!

[margaretlovelock]

I love all Royals but when Meghan goes 'of the cuff', she is the best, so natural. Thanks to certain British Tabloids and the likes of Piers Morgan we are going to miss the Sussexes and I think that there will be a big 'hole' in the RF. Such a shame!

[claregreen]

Meghan was too good for this dull petty family. They just couldn't compete with your intelligence. Love the way Meghan speaks too.

[heykiddosss]

Never understood hate towards her, she did what she could as someone who’s a “commoner” and she did well! Now that Harry and her are on their own, she can live a much better and happier life with her family

[JamesCM]

The Royal Family messed up here, should could’ve been an asset to them

[tatianakirsty]

I like her hair now, as compared to before the exit. She looks happy.

[CarlyUTube]

Love seeing the carefree, honest, genuine love and respect those students have for Megan. So heartwarming. Many adults that have disrespected her and have been downright hateful could learn from them.

Deep down jealousy, she was more popular than the rest, just like diana and they just could not handle it and the race factor played a part in her leaving before another accident.
