I think they were always bad people but significantly escalated out of jealousy when she got with Harry. She clearly had a relationship with her dad before Harry but he, nor her siblings, just overnight became as awful as they have been. Something was always there. |
Half-siblings. Not the same thing at all. They likely never even lived in the same house together as she was a teen when her dad married her mom (who she called the “maid” btw). In a lot of families with second families things can be tenuous and there can be a lot of jealousy and feelings of replacement. I feel like the dad likely got more or less caught between Meghan and Samantha and just kept down this road to save face and/or make money. He’s acknowledged that she has supported him at times. If he needs the money and they are arguing not rocket science why he would keep doing interviews about her. |
+1 Her sister is estranged from her own daughter allegedly for abusing her. Her brother is an alcoholic. And her dad is both twice divorced and considering how much people on here think Meghan is the devil...raised three bad kids. |
Her father sold her out to tabloids for money. That’s awful and exploitative as hell. Who does that in good conscious? And abusive relationships are complex. Abused people, in this case MM, can feel love for their abuser at the same time as anger, mistrust, and fear. |
Harry and Meghan don’t wear crowns. Meghan has worn her last royal tiara. They are basically wealthy commoners now. |
So why is her byline Duchess of Sussex? I'm a commoner. They are commoners only when it's convenient for them. |
Commoner or not, the question has still remained unanswered. The answer is: yes, they are indeed human, full of emotions, disappointments, feelings, insecurities and the such just like everyone else on this board. |
Have they ever said they were commoners, or are you just parroting PP statement |
I said, "regarding their position in their families," not their emotions. |
+1. As residents of the United States, their titles are meaningless. |
No one has any problem with Meghan being royal. Or with her being a commoner.
The problem is when she takes the advantages of being a royal and tries to garner sympathy as a commoner. This is perceived when,for example, she wants people to ask if she is okay -as if she is just a regular person that no one pays attention to. It would be fine if she said "even rich and privileged people like me sometimes want to be asked if we're okay". But there's no such acknowledgment. It comes across as very oblivious to the struggles of regular people. Let me tell you something. I have a special child, just had a difficult pregnancy and I have a newborn. No one except my husband and my best friend and 2 neighbors has asked me if I'm okay. In fact, most of the time my husband is so overwhelmed he doesn't either. This is what real normal life is like. Most people don't have journalists and friends regularly checking in on how they're doing. For Meghan to complain about no one asking if she's okay -when she has so many resources I don't -comes across as very narcissistic. #off my soapbox |
I'm pp. My husband's family and my family didn't ask if I'm okay either. Now frankly I'm fine with that. It would be nice if them to ask, but I'm also aware of their difficulties and mental health issues that make them not think of asking. It isn't something a normal person would complain about publicly. In my opinion. |
Hereditary red flags up the wazoo. Harry married and procreated with it. |
I guess my question is why does she need random reporters to ask if she’s okay? She has so many resources at her disposal. If she’s overwhelmed with Archie or depressed about her miscarriage she can hire a chef, nanny, therapist, housekeeper, etc. to unburden some of her tasks. She doesn’t have a 9-5 job so she can take the time she needs. She’s so lucky compared to almost everyone else on the planet. Use your resources, don’t try to garner pity during a pandemic of all times. |
' Are you British? Only if you're British are you a "commoner". Otherwise you're a foreigner. |
