Meghan Markle and Prince Harry News and Updates Part 2

This. They set her up to fail. When she dazzled everyone, they started feeding false and awful stories to the tabloids to district from Pedo Andrew and Will's affairs.

But what was the incentive to have her fail?

Massive incentive to have her fall. Did you not see the interview? The tabloids had their paper-selling and money-making fodder in the form of false and vitriolic MM stories. The BRF fed the beast, which ensured the beast (tabloids) would play nice with the rest of the family (and not harp on legit dirty laundry like Jeffrey Epstein bud Andrew or cheating Will).

I think Megan wants to monetized her experience. She will get paid handsomely for the interviews, there will be a book about the hardships of royal life and podcast. Maybe a reality show.

Many people will focus on staging their backyard to look like an outdoor living room like the interview setting.

I mean people with taste already do.

+1 This is nothing new, really backyard furniture is a novelty?

Right? It... didn't look like a living room? I'm poor by DCUM standards and I have backyard furniture...

This is hilarious. We are also poor by DCUM standard, live in flyover, and have full outdoor furniture including rugs, curtains, decorations like lamps, flowers and trinkets, and a blow up movie screen.

Everyone in this system is a lost lonely irrelevant outsider apart from the one person, the only person, that matters. She is the oxygen we all breathe. The essence of all our duty. Your problem, if I may say is you seem to be confused about who that person is." Phillip to Diana in the Crown Season 4.

I couldn't help thinking about this while watching that interview. Had Meghan done her research before marrying into that family, she would have known that above all it's duty to the Queen that matters and she, not Meghan is the center of their universe. If she wasn't prepared to fit the mold that the family demands of its members, then she shouldn't have joined it. Yes, they're racist (well some of them), yes, it's full of rules and order and protocol, and yes, it is all about the Queen and the protection of the crown. There was no way she was going to fit the mold--none. You can't go up against the establishment and the fact that she thinks she could just goes to show how naive she is. Maybe all of this would have been handeled better if Harry preemptively told the Queen that he and Meghan intend to give up their royal duties and live a private life in the US and had been upfront from the beginning. Harry took a huge risk leaving his family, but it sounds like he too, no longer wanted to serve the Crown and that he felt it was his time to go. I hope they can find peace and happiness and that Harry can repair the relationship with his father and brother.

Meghan is a narcissist. She could never accept that.

He and Meg did not feel they or their children were well protected in their position with the BRF so they did something about it. I think most would do the same.

I sympathize with him, but let's get the timelines straight. They were well protected until they said they wanted to live separate lives...and then we drift into have my cake and eat it too land. The biggest thing I register from them is shock that everything was taken away. It seems like originally they wanted to establish some sort of principality in Burundi or whatnot where could be the Queens commonwealth outreach, they could podcast to their heart's content and return home for galas, but not do the old age home visits and all that boring stuff.

I thought the dangerous stories were present without relief while they were still full time royals.

I’d love to know how many of you reviling her are MAGA voters.

Especially because other than the Parler types, US social media is overwhelmingly favorable to H&M.

Voted for Obama and Biden. I don’t like her she reminds me of an NPD friend I once had.

It's amazing anyone would bring politics into this. Seriously pp get over the MAGA or take it somewhere else.

Meghan simply doesn't fool most people, Harry yes. Her phony mental break was another ploy to get him and her away from his family.

Turns out Meghan's family and her own sister were right about her. Even her sister says she knew her role going into the marriage. Everyone knew she was going to play the race card, sure enough right on Oprah, lol.

Her sister doesn't know her at all. Her (half) sister changed her name BACK to Markle when MM and PH started dating. The sister is not a credible source.

Omg this is so true.

100%

Their relationship was lightning quick...and since she had a 'past' they were all very concerned.

Based on how things played out, it seems like those with concerns were right to have them.

It sounds like they were concerned about the baby’s race.

Not a good look no matter how you try to spin it.

It sounds like one jerk made some comments, but not that it was endemic. They need racism to be part of the narrative for the sympathy tour to work though. Seems Charles and the Queen went out of their way to be welcoming, but that she was not temperamentally suited to the position. The firm knew a mature divorced actress with a toxic family would likely not fit in well to an archaic hierarchical structure with rigid protocols. Quelle surprise.

Yes. Family background and class standing is huge in Britain, having Royal blood. They were pissed for a long time that Kate was a 'commoner'. She was reviled for it early in the relationship.

And new $$. How much negative press was out there about her mom being a stewardess and the family getting rich off of a party planning company. Even old $ vs new $ is a big deal in this Class based society. It is very different than the US.

Yes, Kate was absolutely trashed for her family's non-aristo new money status. This lasted for a very long time, at least ten years. Meghan was not at all prepared for the similar drubbing based on class differences, plus adding in being a divorced American and bi-racial. Anyone could foresee the disaster and few people are thick-skinned enough to take it. It hardened Kate and would have hardened Meghan if she'd stayed. Do I think she's an egotistical narcissist? Probably. But I think this would have been incredibly hard for anyone, no matter how wonderful they were or weren't.

Honestly my impression was that Kate was thrashed far more than Meghan. Kate did what was expected of her and ultimately earned some respect, but it did take a very long time. That's how it works. Meghan wasn't willing to play that game, and although I don't blame her for that, at some point she needs to sit down and acknowledge the unbelievable privilege of having a husband with a trust fund that allows you to do whatever you please. I mean seriously, go enjoy the private life in your mansion you say you wanted and stop with the attention-seeking behavior.

I think it is very telling how deep racism is in America by posts here on dcum! You just don't get it! You are so blind to your own bias when it comes to race and race issues.

You truly think all your comments about Meghan are just that, not clouded by decades of being conditioned to view women, particularly Black women, as hysterical, irrational, and playing the victim.
I am saying this with all honesty and well intentions; please, please look into what racial bias is and how you are unaware of it. Once you start realizing what it is and how it manifests, I am hopeful that many here will realize that they truly didn't know they were engaged in it.
Because you were conditioned to think you are just telling it like it is.

But, racial power structures are so ingrained in the culture that you truly believe you are not saying or acting in a racist way, even when you are.
Even BBC is acknowledging that this must be addressed, but not the majority of white dcum.

Not a MAGA and could literally not care less about her race. It’s interesting and infuriating that we can’t not like someone without being accused of it having something to do with her race. You know you don’t have to like people just because of their race right? I can not like her personality.

I’m as liberal as you can get and hate her because she is better off than 99.999% of people in this world and instead of ignoring the tabloids like the Middleton one does, she spends her fame on whining about her situation. Half a million are dead from Covid in this country, kids haven’t been in school for a year, there is a climate crisis going on, more people than ever are hungry and homeless in this country- and you go on Oprah and talk about how some tabloids made you cry? So you moved to Hollywood for privacy? JFC, what an out of touch fool she is. Who gives a shit about what some crusty old Brit told her about her baby? If you’re going to bring down that toxic family, at least bring up Prince Andrew. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself though.

Yes! Extremely unlikeable.

Honestly this was my take as well. (I’m progressive as well so...). But the whole thing reeked of privilege. While I completely get that living under the thumb of the Royal Family would be stifling, I also couldn’t help thinking how damn privileged they are and whining publicly about all of these slights was pretty tone deaf. Here we have so much suffering in the world, people really struggling day in & day out, and Meghan Markle wants people to feel sorry for HER! Sigh.

I know most of us wish we had those problems lol....oh and I'm a conservative liberal is anyone needs to know. Yes it's rough having to go to those orphanages, parades, children hospitals, and have a royal title. They were treated very well, but their roles are hierarchical.

My Dh is a minority and they've talked about light and dark family members, not in a bad way or racist. I don't believe that ever happened, but if it did seriously so what. She's going to take it out on the entire family? What a sociopath.

Omg. Give me a Dubonnet cocktail and afternoon tea. A long hike in the Scottish countryside. I would do just fine in a life of seclusion. They can say whatever they want about me. I’d go on living my best life in private. Kate can win. I’ll play bad cop.

Exactly, who tf cares? I think the insider that said H&M are very thin-skinned is accurate.

SO your advice is that women need to put up with it and shut up and by keeping quiet and keeping their head down they will earn respect???!!! In 2021? In the United Kingdom? Not in Saudi Arabia?
