I’m convinced that the majority of people who hate Meghan/love Will&Kate are 50+ year old white conservatives on either side of the pond. Brexiteers/Trumpers who are projecting their own anxieties onto Meghan.

+1. The thought process/argument style is the same. Impervious to facts, can't assimilate new information, can't recognize the difference between what they know to be true and what they are assuming, repetitive talking points, same responses regardless of what the person they responded to said, and zero nuance.

I doubt you appreciate the irony of what you just wrote.

You have no idea who I am or my ability to appreciate irony. I do know that what you wrote is comprised of very condescending, judgmental and harsh statements.

To be clear, I do not like Meghan Markle. But I dislike the BRF and the tabloids more than I dislike MM. I suppose to the crazed haters that is impossible to understand.

At this point I’m lost and have no clue who is on what side 😆. I simply do not understand the people that despise Meghan. Why do you follow everything she does? Why keep visiting this thread? Just put her out of your mind, it’s easy. Just pay her no attention and you will no longer be so irritated! It simple!

Remember - Meghan demanded a full account of the PROFITS they made from her letter over a 2 year period. Now its a 4 year period. And she is acknowledged as the reason the DF was keeping its doors open in the first place from 2017 - 2020.

I will start the bidding at $15 million. This does not include the legal fees they are required to pay on her behalf which total $3 million.

$22.5 million is what I'm thinking now.

It can't be less than $50 million with the way the Daily Fail is acting like they've been shot, stabbed, robbed and want to take this to the U.K. Supreme Court.

Plus this is basically the first time I've seen them have to release figures specifically off how much they make off huge celebrities and hate.

Does anyone here think 100+ million?

Considering they just roped in the PRIME. MINISTER. of the entire United Kingdom to give a statement on the trial they lost, I can't see how it could be anything else.

Hmm, 250 million users a month. Times 36 months since the 5 articles specifically including the letter were published. Not including the fact that each USER would have visited the site multiple times a day, a week, a month. This is going to be the biggest settlement in publication history.

The site attracts 250m unique users a month, 90m of whom are in the US, according to the [Daily Mail] company.

Isn’t it rather delusional and narcissistic to assume everyone who reads DM flocks to the site specifically for MM gossip?

I skim DM daily, and I rarely click on articles about the royals.

Not really. Rota has been whining non-stop that their golden goose has flown the coop since 2020. The publication follows wherever the money leads - there's a reason they were publishing 10-15 articles a day non-stop about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry while they were UK residents. There's a reason they also ADMITTED they knew they broke the law by publishing the article and did it anyway. $$$.

More information on the Daily Mail's online revenue. The MailOnline made $164 million pounds in 2021 and $143 million pounds in 2020. Extrapolate that out to an average of $130 million pounds from 2018 - 2019 - that's a total online revenue of $567 million pounds in four years.

Now if even 20% of the Fail's site traffic was going to one of her five articles during a 2-year period - that's a revenue of $56 million pounds based on that letter. Divide the revenue in half because she asked for a profit split and cut off a percentage just for fluff - that's a $20 million pound payout.

Enh, I'm a 35 year old mixed race woman who finds Meghan Markle to be incredibly grating because she just wants attention on her all the time. I would have so much more respect for her if she had done what she said she was going to do - move back to the US for privacy and a normal life. Instead, she's trotting around all over the country doing random events without her children.

100%

She said she wanted privacy and to be left alone and then when that happened she didn’t like it and craved the spotlight.

Where and when did she say this? I have heard her say she never expected complete privacy and she understands that because they are public figures. Please, tell us where you heard this so we can put this to rest one way or the other. If not, you are just repeating what haters and the tabloids have made up.

+1 would love to see a source! Never seems to exist though, funny that!

+1000. And for the stans, why has Meghan ditched the black side of her family? We understand the Markle side, but she has seemed to totally want nothing to do with the black side of her family and even happily tried to claim other racial backgrounds until she could use being black as a weapon. As someone of a mixed background, I find her behavior odious. You accuse others of falling victim to tabloids, but you stans have been so easily manipulated by Megham.

When and where did she claim other racial backgrounds? I’ve only heard her talking about being black and white, well before Harry came into the picture. Also which family members did she ‘ditch’? Nobody is saying she is perfect, I’m sure she has family issues like the rest of us. But her issues are broadcast for the world to see. I’m just going by interviews where she has talked about her racial background. I’ve never once heard her claim anything else. If an interview is manipulation, then We can’t trust anything anyone says.

+1 would also love to see a source for this

There are no sources for these claims, except the ones in their vivid imaginations where Meghan is the reason for all their woes 😂😂😂

I'm Canadian. This is not true.

Isn't it?

https://globalnews.ca/news/7688428/can-canada-abolish-monarchy/

That link is the monarchist argument, not a reflection of the reality of Canadian politics. When Canada decides to ditch the monarchy -- and it is a question of when, not if -- it will not be very difficult to implement.

Thank you for answering. I will cheer them on when they do!

Why? You know nothing about the Commonwealth or Canada. Yiu are simply looking for what you consider a cause to champion

No, I had an internship in the Canadian Parliament when younger. It was a great, great experience. I've always loved Canada.

True. I don't usually do that, but I've had it with both the posters who spew insane vitriol at MM in this thread and the batsh*t crazy MAGA crowd who seem quite similar. If you are not part of those two groups, then you have my apology. My comment was directed to the posters who call Meghan "vicious" or insist she said she wanted privacy but have never once, in these thousands of pages, actually shown where she said that.

I normally hold in those thoughts because I know they're unproductive, but the irony of being able to dish out so much bile and and then quote Maya Angelou about other people's feelings was just too much.

And here's a thought-- Why don't the people who are critical of Meghan ever call out the nastiness of their side? I didn't see anyone who claims to have a thoughtful reason for their skepticism actually call out the people who call her vicious. Why is that?

I call out when people make fun of her body or have insane conspiracy theories about her baby. I think it’s not really vitriol I see so much as a true questioning of her motives and actions. I don’t understand plagiarizing speeches, lying in court, clearing out a sold out Wimbledon box so I wouldn’t have to sit next to the commoners, or going on Oprah and lying about why my kid wasn’t made a prince. I don’t understand the rabid fans for whom she seems to walk on water. I get that she’s mixed race and it’s great to see someone of color achieve such a high position of power and influence but she specifically doesn’t seem worthy of that unwavering fan club.

Oh FFS. Look them up yourself. She plagiarized Eleanor Roosevelt in her speech to the UN. She herself just admitted she lied in court - oops I had a memory lapse! The Wimbledon thing and Oprah interview are all public domain. None of this is in question. It all happened.

DP. The prior poster is correct. We’ve discussed all of this stuff. It’s pretty disingenuous for you to sneer at PP.

I don't agree with what you just wrote, but I don't have a problem with it, either. The tone makes a huge difference. As I mull it over, I realize there are two kinds of posts that I find especially disturbing.

One is the kind that is just really nasty, full of name-calling and labels. It disturbs me because it is dehumanizing, and that's never okay. We are at a place in history where that is becoming more acceptable, and it's dangerous. (When I see other threads anywhere on DCUM that dehumanize, I report them, even when they are people whose views I otherwise share.)

The second kind of disturbing posts are those full of projected feelings and thoughts and motivations that go beyond ordinary speculation and character analysis. The posters write really fleshed out scenarios as if they have first hand knowledge. It's not just piecing together a motive based on what is in the public sphere; it's imagined thoughts and conversations they then use to justify their hatred.

My comments up top were harsh-- maybe too harsh-- but I tried to characterize the expression of ideas, not call names or generalize about people's characters beyond what they write here.
