But I guess it’s easier to say racism is the root cause of all the animosity to MM, not for example... that she’s American.

Anyway - her nutter stans have the racism banner to wave in response to any, even slight criticism of MM- and how can anyone refute that. Fine- I’m a racist. Never mind that I’m not white, that I have reservations about other royal family members, or anything else- you win- happy?

You may very well not be white but your aren’t AA.

It is not hypocritical for MM to try to help sex workers despite marrying someone who has an uncle that has perhaps participated in trafficking. Harry is not his uncle. What is incredibly hypocritical is how the british media treat MM vs PA. Look at the Daily Mail UK home right now. Front and center is coverage of MM and PH's summer holidays and use of private jet. No mention of how PW and KM also took summer vacations on private jets of course. OR how PA took a private jet to Spain last week to emotionally cope with the Epstein coverage. But the biggest splashiest headline is all about MM and PH taking a vacation.

Buried down far after the fold is the Epstein story and under THAT is a SUB HEADLINE about how PA was just led astray by the mean man everyone warned him against.

How would you and the british media be acting if MM had ties to a child sex trafficker?

That double standard is racism. The face that you are searching for MM's hypocrisy here instead of talking about how appalled you are that the british media has been DEAD SILENT on this PA association for the last week and is only now writing fluffy defense people means that MM is not the hypocrite, YOU are. And yes, I think a racist one to boot.

MM has donated her time to help sex workers. She has not been covering for Andrew for a decade. Good for her.

That's fine.

Call me a racist.

Call me an a** for not dealing with sex workers even though I deal with children who are abused.

b/c clearly those who work with sex workers have a more important job than mine

Think whatever the hell you want.

MM is rich.
MM is entitled.
MM has an uncle by marriage who's a pedophile.
MM is part of a family that will go to great lengths to protect the pedo.
MM knew exactly what she was getting herself into - a life of looking good and pretending to have a real job while those of use who TRULY work with abused people get crapped on in this thread.

talk about F-ed up

And yet, anyone who doesn't like MM is a racist.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, why isn’t Kate same backlash, even from you, because she’s all of these things too? The big difference is Meghan is choosing grittier causes to bring attention to, while Kate prefers to be the patron saint of children’s sports.

It’s not the Royals job to do other people’s jobs. It’s their job to attend these charities and bring attention to them, which hopefully will end to better funding, donations, understanding of the cause. That helps people like you keep jobs, get raises, and the resources you need to do your work successfully.

What's crazy in all of this is how the MM haters expend their energy on MMs inconsequential behavior while giving a pass to the awful royal men. I mean I am pretty neutral in this (I find both Kate and MM inoffensive at best), but the royal men, including Harry, have a history of asshole behavior.

Clearly I haven’t given it as much thought as some people, but I think MM seems like a smart and kind person. I’ve only seen one interview but she spoke very well, she was articulate and poised. It was easy to see why Harry would have been attracted to her. Wish her and her family all the best.

I hope he’s being paid handsomely for it, because he deserves it. He could sell his story on the real MM to the tabloids or a magazine, but he must be getting more to keep quiet than what they are offering.

MM is trashy because of how she lived her life so far (just take a look at the tons of pictures of how she was dressed and what she was doing in all the various pics before she met Harry, and I’m not talking just about being a briefcase girl) and how she has tried to distance herself from it, including cutting off her family, her horrible treatment towards a father who even partially raised her. She’s trashy because she uses and throws away relationships to climb up. What friend does she have apart from Jessica from her pre-Harry days? She’s trashy because she faked not knowing anything about Harry and the royals, and acted all naive. She’s not in love with Harry but what his position can bring her. Pukingly fake behavior.

Mmmmhmmmm. Get back to me in 30 years when they have another kid and have been happily married for three decades.

Meghan Markle is very well educated by American standards and her father paid a lot of money for her education over several decades.

She attended exclusive private grade school in California
followed by Catholic high school despite the family
being Protestant. She graduated from Northwestern
College.

Clearly Meghan's father was invested in Meghan getting
a quality education. I'd say comparing Meghan's education
to Kate's I'd say they were pretty comparable in terms
of "classy" educations.

The beef I have with Meghan is the fact that she never
introduced her Dad or Mom in a face to face to her boyfriend prior to engagement. I think she knew
that her Dad, despite being a loving Dad, and providing
an expensive education over decades, and also
getting her started in her career, was simply
not up to royal standards. Harry and Meghan both
could have come up with $300 bucks to fly so that
Harry could meet her Dad or had her Dad flown
to the US or another neutral location so that Harry could
meet her Dad. If she had been normal, classy and
proactive about Harry meeting Dad it is possible none of the other tawdry stuff may have come up BUT Meghan
did not want any barriers to marrying Harry so did
not push for a meeting with her Dad. We know that
William and Williams grandfather thought there were
red flags to the relationship.

I believe since Meghan thought her Dad was not up
to upper crust standards she did not initiate a meeting
and in fact led Harry to believe that she did not
have a happy family life. Her goal was to clinch the deal
with Harry.

The way she treated her Dad through the whole
debacle reads as "unclassy." Again, who does not
want their Dad to meet their future husband
particularly when time off of work and money to
travel is no problem.

Those who were particularly classy through the
whole drama were Meghan's ex husband,
Meghan's Canadian celebrity chef who she
was dating concurrent to Harry and also
Meghan's chef boyfriend's Mom who were
extremely classy throughout the whole ordeal.

Meghan's 1/2 million dollar extravagant baby shower reads
particularly as unclassy, tacky and nouveau riche.

Megan's dad sold her out to tabloids MULTIPLE TIMES leading up to the wedding. A good well adjusted and supportive parent doesn't do that, even if he is being mistreated by his kid. No good caring parent trades the possibility of a good relationship in the future for a check from TMZ. Why are you so invested in propping up her fame who*e dad?

I’m guessing you have no friends or acquaintances in the entertainment or modelling industries, because you obviously have no concept of why#metoo was so big in those industries, or whatbit takes to actively work in those industries. If you are not willing to actively market yourself constantly, and to some degree “social climb” in order to place and network yourself with who is hiring, then there’s no point in even trying to get ahead.

I’m also assuming you’ve never known anyone who has actually gone from rags to riches, and have seen how it changes relationships. Why do you think so many celebrities children of celebrities and the very rich? They never have to be one is a sea of hundreds/thousands of similar faces trying to “make it”.

Kate never had to socially climb as her parents did it for her by placing her right in Will’s sightline, more or less, from the time they returned to the UK.

Keep bitching ladies. Meanwhile Meghan is launching a wardrobe collection (her second biggest project post-cookbook) for her Smart Works patronage and is on track to bring in $5,000,000 in financial support for her and Harry's foundation.



Why is that important? Because the Cambridge Foundation is literally in the negative without Meghan's money.

All these celebrities rallying around Meghan. The wacky jealous crowd hates her for it, but as long as they're just going to yap at her about it - I say she uses it to her advantage.

Launch that wardrobe collection on the Ellen show and watch it bring in $50 million in revenue. Meghan could set up women's shelters and non-profit organizations on every corner of Britain's island with that money.

If she were smart, she'd help the women her uncle (by marriage) raped.

But apparently, that's not her problem, right?

No one knows who you're talking about.

Unless you mean her Uncle-in-law Prince Andrew?

Why not just call him out by his name? And it wasn't a woman. It was a girl. A 17-year-old. Raped multiple times.
