Huge difference. The spares always are left to beg for money and places to live for themselves and their kids. Look at Charles siblings. Or how hard Andrew had to beg for a wedding for Beatrice. AND Charles has been very clear that he is planning to streamline the monarchy to direct heirs.

Harry is a much better person than his great uncle but honestly gave up much less for love.

Yes, I say good for Harry for leaving and making his own path. He has a beautiful wife, a beautiful son and lots of money. Let the haters hate.

Exactly. How many of these anti-H&M posters would want to turn forty still living at the financial mercy of a parent or older sibling? We tell our children everyday, forge your path and yet these posters are upset that a grown ass man finally did. So what if it took the help of a strong woman to give him the courage, at least he finally took the plunge.

I would never want to marry into the royal family. But she did, with eyes wide open and “ready to hit the ground running”. It’s unclear what happened, since she was gushing about the support the royal family was giving her and claiming they were the family she never had. They sent her on fancy tours and gave her all kinds of responsibilities (which is what she claims she wanted). Honestly in retrospect she should have heeded Michelle Obama’s advice, taken it slower, eased into the duties, or even taken a break before starting.

All of a sudden it was less about how she could serve the monarchy that she signed up for and more about her being a victim, of the mean press, mean will and Kate, mean dad and sister. She cried shamelessly about how hard her life was on a documentary that was supposed to be about their wildly successful Africa tour. When something actually awful happened to her - a miscarriage - she decides to squeeze out some public sympathy and write a saccharine op Ed about it in the NYT... it’s the me, me, me of it all that rubs people the wrong way. She seems to have no sense of her own incredible privilege.

At least you admit that you do not know what actually happened. None of us on this board know. Also, DCUM and other mommy boards are littered with wives who married into families they don't get along with. Yet they married into these families because they loved their husband. DCUM and perhaps even you have encouraged these women to distance themselves from their husband's family. Why does MM have to have separate standards than what you and others do not hold for yourselves when it comes to in-laws.

'DCUM and other mommy boards are littered with wives who married into families they don't get along with. Yet they married into these families because they loved their husband'. I'm going to quote you in my response to this (attempt at) logic: 'you do not know what actually happened. None of us on this board know'. You cannot make assertions about why people you don't know married their husbands. Many people marry for reasons other than love. That means some people on 'mommy boards' and also some people who marry royals. In your own words, 'you do not know what actually happened.'

You can assess and judge the actions of other people, but not their feelings or intentions, because you have no way of knowing these things. This includes the accusations that people who dislike MM are racist: how could you possibly know what is in their minds or in their hearts? Calm down, adopt a reasonable, polite tone, and maybe you will be better able to communicate your thoughts and possibly persuade others.

DP. Well, some of the MM haters post racist posts that Jeff removes. It is pretty easy to know what is in their hearts and minds. They write it down for everyone to read.

The anti MM posters on here may or may not be racist but they are all most certainly unhinged. How can people have this level of hate for someone they dont know?

Interesting. When I pop in and out of this thread, I think just the opposite of what you wrote PP.

+1 And to go into such minute detail about what they find offensive. Hatred is such a bizarre hobby to have.

My own mother died young, and it definitely influenced my partner choices and relationships, and those of my brothers. Somehow that essential relationship being cut short in a sudden, traumatic way caused all of us to try to replay different aspects of how we related to our mother, revisiting things we regretted in our relationship with her as we forged new relationships; it took a long time before a therapist pointed this out to me. But I see Harry doing the same thing.

I think Meghan is quite good at presenting the 'woe is me' act, and this type of person is often quite good at sparking sympathy and protective feelings in others, at least initially. Harry wanted to protect her in a way he couldn't protect his mother. But the Meghan types become exhausting and difficult (note her string of broken relationships), and it is unfortunate Harry didn't heed his brother's advice and wait before plunging into an early marriage.

You are a vile, misogynistic hypocrite. Harry had many many many broken relationships before Meghan. And his earned accomplishments prior to marriage were minimal compared to Meghan’s. If he weren’t a lucky sperm born in the royal family, Meghan would have been the catch by far.

So let me get this straight: I am a misogynist because I happen to identify with another human being who lost his mother in circumstances not unlike those in which I lost my own mother, and this person happens to be male? Plus, I dislike this person's spouse, who happens to be female? Oh, OK then.

I don't know where the 'hypocrite' thing comes in here. My mum died young, and so did Harry's. Harry and I are the same age. I have always followed his misadventures (from the UK, where I lived) and identified with his blunders because they remind me of my own or my brother's, and I do think that losing a mother early and suddenly contributes to a lot of upheaval in a person's teen/young adult years. I sympathise with him and I don't think a person who hasn't lost a mother young can fully understand why.

And no, I don't think one can compare Harry's early romantic misadventures with Meghan's broken relationships with family and friends. It isn't the same thing at all.

As for her 'accomplishments', I don't think she is a very good actor, and her charitable efforts have been showy and crassly me-me-me.

Everything she does is seen as "me-me-me" by her detractors. Even having a miscarriage was described upthread as a PR stunt. I'm sure the charities are happy to have her work, her money and her attention, no matter what her motives may be. I wish I were in a position to make a difference to a charity just by showing up. I would love that.

Her miscarriage was not “me-me-me,” her NYT piece about it was. Meghan is in the position to truly make a difference if she wanted to but her actions indicate that is not her motive. Her motive is making money and promoting herself. It’s been almost a year since they left the U.K. Where are they on setting up their charity? They’ve managed to make a deal with Netflix, buy a mansion, create several photo-ops, but have done minimal to promote any charity. They could have made a big difference staying with the royals and dedicating their lives to quiet charity work but that is not what Meghan wanted. I believe it’s what Harry initially intended based on his early comments about how his family would become Meghan’s and how he knew she would hit the ground running as a working Royal.

And always at the mercy of daddy, big brother, and later his own nephew. What normal person wants to live their life, family, livelihood on the constant whim of someone else?

Yes, that is the right-wing [racist] modus operandi, isn't it.

Yes, that's very American. And if Harry wants to be American, good for him.

Meghan wants to be a duchess, though, which is the opposite of being American. When she was an American duchess in England, she was interesting. Now that she's an American duchess in America, she's interesting but not in a good way.

Are you saying that Americans are the only people who who want better for their children? Are you saying that people around the world want their children to always be dependent on mommy and daddy? How pathetic.

1. PP is clearly not saying anything like what you are implying here. I can't understand how you got that out of the PP's post, to be honest.

2. "How pathetic." Are you the person who posted on the Website Feedback thread, complaining about the hateful language of the people who are not MM fans?

Well what is PPP saying? What exactly is very American? Please do specify what we as Americans are so fond of that others are not. And I leave the tattle tale reporting for you.

Haha. Except when they actually state in their own words on DCUM and other boards why they married.

Please. Jeff has deleted hundreds of outright racist posts about MM, especially at the beginning of their marriage. This board was a damn mess with those posts, so take your BS somewhere else.

I’ve only seen one or two racist posts on this thread. Not sure what PP is talking about. Most of the people on here are debating politely. There are others that seem to pound their opinions down everyone’s throats.

I do think we can make a distinction between MM and other woman posting about issues with their in-laws. MM has claimed she wants privacy on one hand but is constantly dropping news stories, staged photos and videos. Worse, it’s clear that she feeds personal information to the media, including the hagiography, finding freedom (laughable title, but whatever).

Her primary complaint, as far as I can make it, is that she wants to control the media narrative. Even the bizarre way they “left” the family in the UK - through a passive aggressive blog post, smacked of trying to tell the story before working with the queen and Charles to deliver a narrative all parties had agreed to.

The fact that she airs her dirty laundry in public makes her open to critique. Sorry, that’s the nature of being a “celeb”

Only a handful of people the world over are in the same circumstances regarding their position in their families that MM and Harry are in. It really makes no sense to compare them to normal people and normal people's relationships to their families IMO.

She is just trashy and not as smart as she thinks she is. It’s kind of fascinating to watch, in a train wreck kind of way. Not unlike Hilaria.
Now that would be a reality tv show to watch!
