- 20 May 2018, Hadley Freeman in The Guardian, Is Meghan Markle the American the royals have needed all along?
  Everyone I spoke to had waved flags at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, had camped out for Diana’s funeral and, in some cases, her ill-fated wedding. (No one mentioned going to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s now all-but forgotten wedding, and yet the awkward truth is that Harry and Meghan’s marriage is no more significant than that one was, in terms of lineage.) Not being a royalist of any stripe, I’d not been to any of those.
A long narrow mark left by striking with a lash or rod; by extension, such a stroke.
- Bible, Deuteronomy xxv. 3
  Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed.
- Thomson
  Cruelty marked him with inglorious stripes.
- 1610, The Tempest, by Shakespeare, act 1 scene 2
  Thou most lying slave, / Whom stripes may move, not kindness!
(weaving) A pattern produced by arranging the warp threads in sets of alternating colours, or in sets presenting some other contrast of appearance.
