Do you think Megan is expecting again?

Did you think you were going to marry a royal and be left alone? Oh honey. You love this attention. And if you really had some sort of legit mental problems, you have 20x the resources of the average mom, who just pulls herself up by her bootstraps and gets on with it.

I am not one of the Meghan-bashers but I have to say that I have to reach really, really deep to find any sympathy at all for a woman who never has to work again, is married to a prince, and can outsource literally anything that's mildly uncomfortable in her life. What is there to not be OK about?

Everything is not about money. She could still be lonely, depressed, have anxiety or ppd. She is a foreign land without any apparent real friends or family close by. The baby could difficult, she could be missing her mom and maybe even missing her career. Nobody’s life is as perfect as it seems.

Meghan lived in Toronto for years but she made close friends there. During her engagement, everyone from the local soup kitchen to the retail owners had good things to say about her.

She spent time at the houses of friends and their family. I think she misses that and I imagine she never thought married life would have her isolated in the middle of nowhere as well.

Christmas at the home of her childhood friend - Benita Litt in LA


With Jessica Mulroney's daughter in Toronto

weird that she spends Christmases with friends, not her actual family (or mom) ... she seems like she latches on to whoever is nearby and can benefit her

Why is that weird? A lot of people get married later in life or not at all.

As a single person or dating I spent Christmas with my adult parents and similarly unattached siblings but it was awkward as hell.

Maybe she wanted to avoid that and honestly -- her parents don't speak to each other so trading holidays with one or the other would have gotten old fast in my opinion.

Of course not but you'd be surprised how much of it is. Pain is a part of life; no one goes through it without tasting loneliness or anxiety or depression, and the fact that one feels it doesn't make it newsworthy. I mean, I miss my mom too - would anyone make a movie about it? no. Her mom can move any time she wants, and she has ample resources to isolate herself from the baby difficulties. I am not saying that she never feels sad; just that the lip-quivering about normal everyday life doesn't really move me.

No, she cannot.

She would need to uproot her entire life, one that she's worked damned hard to build in order to move to a brand-new country.
She'd need a visa, which thanks to Brexit is even more stringent a process than ever.
The press would eat her alive. Remember during the engagement the merest hint that Meghan's mother would move into a taxpayer-funded house had them spitting mad?
She can't afford to buy a near-London home of her own, especially not an estate which would be private from prying press eyes and would allow Archie and other grandkids to have a safe childhood.

William bought the Middletons a $7.3 million mansion and the press weren't even hard on them for it but its nothing compared to what would happen if Harry moved his MIL into a 2-bedroom shack. Hell, he even got a royal protection detail assigned JUST to their mansion.

Sorry, not buying it. If Meghan wanted to arrange a long visit with her mom on either side of the ocean, it would happen tomorrow. It's laughable for you to suggest that the royal family couldn't arrange a visa for someone they really wanted to visit. I'm certain the multitude of their properties has very nice guest quarters.

A visa for a temporary visit (Doria already came and stayed with Meghan for 5 weeks during the birth) is very different from a permanent solution.

And it would have to be permanent for her to buy a home and move as the PP above suggested.

You don't get it. People in this class (well, acquired class for the Markles) don't really "live" anywhere. They move easily between multiple properties in multiple countries. If Meghan's mother wanted to spend extended periods of time in the UK with her daughter, it could be arranged in the space of twenty minutes. It just isn't a huge hassle that you imply it is. It would be for an average joe, but not for her. You latched on to the word "move" like it means what it means for you and I. It just means "spend as much time as she likes".

[Anonymous]

To add on, before her wedding Meghan paid $1,500 for a family visa application as Harry's fiance.

Doria doesn't have that option. U.K. rules specifically state the child of the parent applying for a visa must be a British citizen and if they're a naturalized one they must have been resident for SEVEN YEARS.

Meghan won't even have her British citizenship until 2021.

Forget about any other visa type, she's not a millionaire or independently wealthy so she's not welcome in Brexit Britain. There are Oxford professors who can't even get a visa for their kids these days!

“When I read those three unemotional sentences saying they were denying my children entry to the UK I felt complete disbelief,” she says. “I had already packed the girls’ bags and bought their school uniforms. It is insane that you can have a legal document with both parents’ consent to have the children with their mother and they simply say no, that can’t happen.”

Maybe her mom doesn’t want to be isolated either. And she certainly would be if she moved to the U.K. She (Doria)strikes me as someone who wants a nice quiet existence. I’m sure she never dreamed this would be her life of that of her daughter. There are a many reasons why uprooting her life, even for her daughter is not a feasible solution.

And DCUM kills me with the family dynamics contradictions. Eighty percent of you guys hate your in-laws, and disown your mothers for the slightest infractions, but its crazy that Meghan spends the holidays with friends instead of family. Real talk.

Doria spends weeks at a time with Meghan so no, no one's going to deny her entry.

So I guess money and lifestyle means post partum hormones don't exist. I didn't know that you can pay to have that all just go away.

I'm not a Meghan fan, but if she's possibly dealing with new mom problems then she's just human. Not everyone breezes through it.

[Anonymous]

I do not understand why all of her friends who attended her half of a million dollar baby shower are not asking her if she is ok.

And why announce a six week family time away from duties. We don’t even have maternity leave here in the United States much less six weeks paid vacation.

MeAgain Megan is so unroyal. She keeps digging herself and Harry into a bigger hole. She’s a disaster. He shouldn’t have raced to the alter to marry her and taken more time to see how the public would react to her. And I’ve had it with her whining and crying about how hard she has it.

This is a woman who flew off after a baby to see Serena play tennis and she didn’t have to. She attended Wilberton and refused to be photographed, took over a stupid fashion magazine as an editor, and redid her house with taxpayer money. Oh life is so hard for her. Clueless! She wants and thinks she deserves so much so fast. And now Harry is sinking right with her when he was so beloved. They should leave royal,life altogether.

Then should you finally be happy and less bitter?

No

But to compare her to oh . . . let's say a single mother without good insurance is laughable.

I don't feel sorry for her.

I think she looks great; I'm not one to focus on looks. But she's privileged.

When will the day come when people wake up and realize how stupid they've been revering these personalities?

[Anonymous]

,I don't think she needs or wants anyone to feel sorry sorry for her. But definitely think she is having a hard time. I feel for her as I would any new mother. Some of you are straight up viper and envious. Just own it.

I think she had envisioned a fairy tale and reality is just not a Disney Movie. Royal life isn't easy and especially if you resist assimilating and you want the best of both worlds - something that isn't going to happen.

It is a huge adjustment. I think she has made a lot of poor decisions and she is struggling with the consequences of those decisions. I don't think she likely really knows what she wants right now.

On one hand she loves the luxury life - hanging out with the rich and famous, being the center of attention, jetting about the world in private planes, photo ops looking philanthropic....and yet on the other hand she wants to just be able to maintain private life with husband and kid and be left alone. She wants praise but not criticism, she wants attention but not intrusion. She is learning that money and fame don't buy happiness.

I think the next couple years will be telling. She will either figure out that her best bet is to assimilate into royal culture or she will be miserable.

I like Meghan quite a lot. She was so loved by everyone when she and Harry were engaged. And she really did have a storybook wedding with lots of positive attention and adoration.

She isn't used to the type of criticism that she's been getting lately. I really don't understand where all the negativity is coming from but I think that anyone would have a hard time dealing with the harsh glare of the spotlight being directed at Meghan. No one would look good in that unforgiving light.

I hope she continues to hold her head high, learns how to ignore the harsh criticism and puts her energy into positive things that actually matter.

I think the press continues to pick, pick, pick at her because they see that she's vulnerable and they can get under her skin which isn't right.

This. I think also she thought she could bend the RF instead of bending to them. It doesn’t work that way. I still think they are going to relocate to CA or Canada or Cape Town like Harry juts said in an interview.
