That’s not what gaslighting actually means

NP. I wouldn’t have used the term “gaslighters” but I do think Harry and Megan have a victim mentality.

Even on this thread, people seem to be blaming the Royal Family, William and Kate, “haters,” and disgruntled employees for the fact that H&M haven’t done anything significant in the past few years.

Like, it’s everyone’s fault except H&M that they are floundering? Ok sure.

Face it, Harry and Megan aren’t that smart, aren’t that special. Making jam and being a “lifestyle” influencer? She’s no Diana.

That last paragraph of the article is spot on.

I don't think they are special but I don't understand the hate towards them. I don't expect them to do anything "significant" so I guess I have not been particularly disappointed in them? What were others expecting? Lifestyle influencer seems like about the right job for Meghan. I don't know that there is a right job for Harry, though I think he's found something good to do with the Invictus games.

I don't get what else people are looking for. He's the second son of a British monarch, she's an actress turned "princess." People like this have always existed and they are often mildly interesting in a "how the other half lives" sort of way. I don't understand why they provoke such intense feelings from people. I do think if you absolutely hate Meghan, it might be worth exploring if it has to do with her race. I get not worshiping her, but she's too inoffensive to me to *hate* her unless you hate all vapid, privileged people. But the people who hate Meghan the most tend to worship other people in this same social strata.

I don't get it.

Because one of the main premises of their leaving was because they were being held back, not allowed to do the work they wanted to do. So now it begs the question, held back from what? They apparently didn't actually have any good ideas or goals other than making money which was never going to be allowed in the BRF.

Agree. She would deny it but I think she has a fantasy of herself as princess that is like a little girl's. Her mere presence is supposed to be magical and transformatuve to others. It's ridiculous that they went to the LA fires or Uvalde. They just seem like.they are in the way of people doing real work and so obviously want to be seen there. (Other celebs stayed away but donated money for fire recovery). But I think she actually thinks she's making a difference by arriving and walking around. I think she believes her own hype and thinks she is regal, special and deserves deference because of it.

Her first name is Rachel, middle name is Meghan. I think it’s a “what ELSE is she lying about?!” thing? But c’mon.

She goes by her middle name and they think that this is some sort of 'gotcha'? What's the big deal, they're both pretty typical names given to women of her generation?

+1 and it's common for actors to adopt a name that isn't their given name when they start their careers, in order to avoid confusion with another actor or because an agent thinks using their middle name or their mom's maiden name or whatever will be more marketable. A huge percentage of people in Hollywood go by something other than their given name and it turns out it doesn't really matter that much.

If Harry’s burden is the soft oppression of no expectations, Meghan’s might be the opposite: the betrayal of not living up to an unachievable ideal. “I think the whole world was waiting for her to be that person, and then she never jumped,” the source who worked in media says. “Diana walked amongst land mines. Meghan couldn’t even say the word slut.”

In her mind the whole world is interested in her. In reality, it's not.

Diana served her subjects, Meghan serves nobody in particular. She doesn't want to offend, so she plays it too safe, and in the end there's just nothing on offer. Diana didn't worry about fans unfollowing her or not watching her latest Netflix show.
