I'm more than ever convinced Meghan is playing chess while the British media are playing checkers.

Just like another celebrity/government figure. Uh huh.

But what she came out and complained about was how the press were mean to her. How she felt things were unfair.

How she just wasn't ready for this (despite her claiming to have been so ready for this role). What wasn't she ready for? Has she never read an article about Kate in the part or about Brittney Spears or Paris Hilton here in the US? Really? We are to believe that US Weekly, the Daily Mail and the like all just wrote riveting articles about humanitarian efforts and how their readers and feed poor children? It is the name of hte game and if her feelings got hurt by people critiquing her wardrobe, good thing she never walked a red carpet in Hollywood because those critics can be ruthless (Joan anyone???)

She doesn't strike me as a woman with PPD and she can walk a red carpet just fine. Meghan doesn't let negative headlines or sustained media campaigns keep her from doing her job.

Huh? Plenty of women with even severe postpartum could put on a game face and do what they need to do. Women with PPD are doing this every day, all over the world. A smile and showing up do not indicate absence of depression.

My jaw dropped when I saw her entrance. Meghan is killing it and loving every moment.

The hypocrisy in her complaining about the press being unfair to her is what sets people off about her. This is the same lady that started planting stories in the press about HERSELF as soon as she got engaged. The stories about Doria being invited to Christmas at Sandringham? The stories about Meghan being asked to be godmother to Louis? The numerous stories in People about her being a saint and misrepresenting the letter to her father that only quoted anonymous sources and anonymous friends? It's clear she has some kind of contract with People and has been trying to manipulate the press since the beginning. But now it's "unfair" because she's not controlling the headlines? Add that to her arrogance in thinking that her measly TV career has somehow given her more experience playing the press game than the decades of experience that the Royal Family has. And then there's the issue of starting off her relationship with her in-laws by planting stories in the media to begin with. No wonder the RF doesn't trust her.

No...it sets crazy, bitter, jealous women off. I think the press has been awful and I feel sympathy for her. I also fee sympathy for women like you.

All she had to do was STFU and enjoy her life. Stop trying to be above everyone.

You clearly aren’t a POC. You clearly live in a bubble.

You are treating gossip rag stories as fact. There is no proof that she planted any stories.

I wonder, too, if Meghan might have a bit of postpartum depression. I had it after my second child and it warps your view of the world, and I didn't realize I had it until I started coming out of it.

This wouldn't surprise me at all, especially given that she's in a new country and away from her friends, family and familiar surroundings. It has nothing to do with not loving and embracing a new life, just the disorientation and isolation of adjusting to it, which are shown to increase the risk for PPD.

When I watched that interview with her, she reminded me so much of how I felt with PPD. I recognized it in her expressions. I remember feeling emotionally like the least little breeze would knock me right over. Money and privilege don't insulate anyone from that.

The cynicism and attendant lack of compassion on this thread is really disheartening. Truly, DCUM at its ugliest.

It could be regular old depression, too. Moving to another country is hard, even or especially moving to England from America.

But that's not what she's complaining about. What she says she's complaining about.

No, but it colors your view of the world and also how you react to it. Also, if Harry is seeing such anguish in private, he's probably frantic to try to fix it. His mother's experience clearly informs his own reactions to it, as he's acknowledged. He saw his own mother deal with depression, be susceptible emotionally to a relentlessly critical paparazzi, and be chased to her death. I can't imagine someone with his history being able to just brush off what's happening.

And yet that is exactly what William does.

The Cambridges aren't exactly the hardest working royals. In fact, I distinctly remember there being quite an aversion to how little they do in their role. Kate was known as The Duchess of Do-Little.

Yes, this is the point though isn't it? She didn't whine on and on about her poor life. She didn't hide away when topless photos of her emerged from her boat. She kept on.
They are not hte hardest working royals, i think Anne pretty much surpasses anyone really. I don't think many Royals work terribly hard, that is why Meghan crying about things not being fair is just so, um. Entitled? What does she want. What will make her happy? She has NO 9-5 job. Does not have to worry about bills or child care or cooking or shopping . She gets designer clothing and gets to highlight charities. Instead of embracing this opportunity and 'job' she cries about unfair headlines about her. None of which are untrue I might add.
The headlines weren't that she spilled the tea about an affair. The headlines were she is spending like crazy, has gone through mroe staff in a year than the Queen has in decades, has cleared out entire sections of the Wimbledon stadium etc etc. ALL of that is true.

Really? Was there a legit article about her clearing out Wimbledon?

Yes and there are many people who she had her team STOP from taking pictures of her, only they weren't. They were trying to take selfies with the court.

You are right, there is no proof. However the blind item aboit Kate being mean to her by refusing to give Meghan a ride to the store back when Harry and Meghan were first dating was leaked by Meghan. Only two people present, no reason for Kate to tell anyone, and it ran as a blind on Lainey’s site, who works with Jessica Mulroney husband. Lainey has had several other blinds and stories- if Meghan isn’t deliberately leaking the stories, then her BF is.

Sorry honey, I am infact biracial.

Why must all POC bow down to her and love her. I used to really like her. We both have freckles and similar facial features. I was thrilled when she got engaged to Harry but then it all started to unravel. Nothing made sense and I feel like she is gaslighting us. She sells stories to the papers and gets papped when out and about (many confirmations SHE has let the paps know when/where to be) but then disowns her dad for the same thing? Only her mom at the wedding? No aunts, uncles, cousins? No one??

Even if she was upset about that, it is something you blow up your relationship over? The man who sold FAcebook stock to pay for wedding #1? The man who helped pay for college? The man who got you auditions through his work connections? That man, the man you waxed poetic about on The Tig for Fathers day just a few years ago. He is no longer a part of your life at all? Something is off.
Then all of the leaks about Doria and Sandringham, how the Queen was inviting her for special tea, how she was the godmother of Louis, how kate left her at a shop, ALl of this started coming out AFTER she joined the family. It just doesn't sit well and I don't trust her at all.
