I agree about feeling a bit sorry for them - their timing is terrible and they seem like a pair of grasping brats.
Otherwise they're probably ok. |
Well good thing that’s not what the lawsuit is about! And that’s how it works with respect to other royals. Kate threatened to sue over the Tatler debacle. The queen also pressured folks not to do the prince Andrew story years ago. |
Well that sure is what the headline is about. That she "felt" unprotected. No this isn't how it works. In fact, I'd say the palace has lent unprecedented support to Markle when it put out a statement before they even married. Kate did her own suing, and Markle can do her own. I don't think Kate cried over the palace not putting out supportive statements. The queen doesn't respond to every negative article about Andrew, and there are plenty. |
Did anyone from the BRF — other than Harry — ever make a statement of any kind about the racism that characterized quite a bit of the attention that Meghan and Archie got from the press? That’s something that could have been openly censured. |
Wasn't there a statement before they even got married? |
I've read it, and the book is absolute garbage. I can't believe you take the nonsense written it seriously. |
Huh???? Did you read the article or were you just in a hurry to comment for unknown reasons? Unsupported is not in reference to the lawsuit or her expectation that the palace would sue on her behalf. |
No. That was Harry’s statement. |
Not sure why pp thinks the press is getting "pulverized" in the litigation? So far, the court has ruled against a bunch of Megan's claims as a matter of law, and the testimony so far is to support her argument that her friends talked to the press about the letter to her father (a key point in the press' argument that the letter was no longer private) without her knowledge. Her argument is that she felt "unprotected" by the Royal Family and was prohibited from defending herself, so her friends did it for her, but without her knowledge or consent. IMO, that's just not believable. First, it is well known that friends of royalty don't talk to the press about them without consent (see how they reacted to the recent Jessica Mulroney incident), and second, how did they happen to have the letter, if Meghan herself didn't give it to them?
I'm the pp who said she felt sorry for them, but my pity is steadily evaporating. They've backed themselves into a corner with this ill-advised lawsuit, and making their case by trashing the Royal Family (who they are expecting to support them in the style to which they are accustomed). To the pp who said "they can always go back to the Royal Family:" not so sure about that now. Particularly if the litigation is an indication of where they're going to go with their upcoming book. |
Harry and Archie can always go back to the Royal Family and will be welcomed with open arms. Meghan will never enjoy the closeness she once had with the senior royals. |
Well you have special reading powers so why don't you tell us what you think "unsupported" means in this context. Enlighten us! |
I have to agree with PP. Neither M or H is coming out of this smelling like roses. |
I'm not taking it seriously. It is just one point of view. Where is your book? |
Harry doesn't have much of a family. It is just him and his brother, and a distant father. |
You said she was suing for “a feeling” which you said was that she was unsupported. That’s not the legal claim. No special powers necessary. Also do people ever sue about situations where they have absolutely no feelings about something? Even commercial litigation arises from disputes. |
