LOL, thank you. True. |
He's British and he's the press - part of the pack that covered every major engagement from Louis' christening to Meghan's wedding to the South Africa tour. What about that statement is wrong? You're just mad he decided to go to Canada where he 'can't feel his face' than wait around outside Buckingham Palace for the boring pasty-faced royals to emerge. |
My mindset is my mindset. Meghan wasn’t unattached when she agreed to a date with Harry. That right there is not someone who has the personal conscious to become and remain a royal. She’s happy until something better comes along. I, myself have never agreed to a date while also dating someone else quite consistently. It’s just not nice. Add to that, she mailed her wedding rings to her ex-husband and she was estranged from her entire family, with the exception of her mother, and those are huge red flags. All the fiasco leading up to the wedding where she ended up having exactly ONE family member there for her. Her mother sat alone. I felt very sad for her mom that she appeared so alone during this huge and televised wedding. She shared Charles with Camilla. No aunt, uncle, cousin, no one....just her new “celebrity friends” like Oprah. No attempt to include her father and give him the chance to meet Harry. She just does not care about anyone who cannot advance her agenda in life. She and her dad were very close while she was growing up, and yes, he did boneheaded things surrounding the engagement. But it is my feeling that he did it mostly out of hurt. Why not at least let her Dad meet Harry BEFORE the royal announcement of the engagement. It would have been a kind thing to do if only a gesture to her dad. She made it impossible for him to attend the wedding. She could have put all that crap behind her and at least let him walk her down the aisle. The weak and unfaithful Charles was not a better choice. Not one male family member she could allow in? No, because it was ALL about poor Meghan and how she was abandoned by her dad. He may not be perfect, but neither is she, and that would have been a chance to show the royal family that she had the grace of forgiveness, that family meant as much to her as it did to the royal family, but then there wouldn’t have been all the press leading up to the wedding. In my opinion, she thrives on chaos and being in the middle of it. She held onto her pregnant belly as though someone would steal the baby from her womb, and she honestly just looked so weird and possessive. And possessive she is. She couldn’t follow in the steps of Diana and Kate and give the excited world a peek of her new baby....no, no no. She is special and she will do everything her way. That’s fine, but honestly, they came off as selfish jerks by refusing to let only his feet be seen. One thing I do agree with, is that she just could not stand being a royal but having to walk behind Kate. Meghan needs to be upfront and center. No second fiddle for her. And that is perfectly fine, but she knew the rules going in and she thought she would just do things her way, but found that’s not how things work. Honestly, how hard was her life? Celebrities get a million times more bad press than she can ever hope for, but they are smart enough to not read the tabloids and she should have done the same and been secure in herself and in her role in the royal family....they had her back and they accepted her. All the gossip about them not supporting her was just that, gossip. I was so excited to see Will, Kate, Harry and Meghan, THE FAB FOUR, getting along, putting a fresh face on the royals, and working towards less archaic protocols, but Meghan couldn’t even play nice for a few years. She gave it no chance. Who asks their husband to turn his back on his family and heritage because of some trashy gossip rags? Especially since she was so sure she was going to hit the ground running and was excited about her new role in life. You know who does that? Someone who has alienated almost their entire family and whose friends are celebrities or millionaires. No childhood friend stood up for Miss Markle at her wedding. After the press went nuts over Pippa in Kate’s wedding, no way was she chancing a repeat of that....not that she had a childhood friend to ask. Sadly, I too fell for her fakeness. I was so excited when she and Harry were engaged, I thought she was gorgeous as a bride, and I was so excited she became pregnant so quickly. I just knew they would have the most adorable children. I’m an American and am disappointed in their actions so I cannot imagine how many in England feel now about the money they have spent on the royal couple who now want to reign as prince and princess in Canada. It stinks, it’s wrong, and soon they will fade away. I do believe had she not manipulated this little scheme, they would have been wildly popular for years to come. But their mask has fallen and they are exposed. OMG, how dare she not be able to use social media as she wanted. What a stupid and selfish reason to hurt Harry, and he will be hurt, and his family. The good thing, when things crumble, and they will, the royals will welcome Harry with open arms....Meghan will have no one but her child/children she will share custody of. |
He's pretty much the only pro-Meghan reporter, as well as not British press. Sorry. You picked the wrong tweet. |
I know you so badly want this to be the reason. But it just isn't.

Ok, clarify something for me. Is Meghan moving to Canada to get away from the nasty British press, which she apparently has no control over, or the nasty American press? I'm not clear on this because I thought the argument was that by being in Canada, she could control the press access and avoid the racist UK press rota who were being awful to her and all that. So you posted a link to someone from the AMERICAN press (NBC, in case you didn't know) who reports for an AMERICAN TV SHOW (Today, in case you didn't notice) being sent to Canada by his AMERICAN BOSSES to report on Meghan. So - ? |
You obsessed with how she makes you feel 'less-than.' Think about that and we'll discuss it your next appointment. |
I think you’re over-simplifying it. I’m judging her based on this: -Per her friends and business advisors, she was obsessed with becoming rich and famous. Personally, that doesn’t align with my goals or values. I don’t like most celebs for the same reason. -She has a track record of social climbing and make calculated decisions based on building her brand, increasing her fame and fortune. That makes me think she’s fake; it’s all about curating an image for her brand to make money. There’s nothing admirable about that; it’s the same thing the Kardashians do. Sure, she’s trying to reach a different audience and wants to be taken seriously like Amal Clooney, but she’s not a lawyer, not a legitimate advocate, and never will be. -I’m always skeptical of people who aren’t close with their family and don’t have longtime friends. Sure her family isn’t great, and maybe I can give her a pass. But if her closest friends are Hollywood Pilates instructors and actors, then that’s a red flag. It tells me she doesn’t value friendship, and she’s a taker. -I hope Harry still remains close with his family. |
Yet Harry could have married Taylor Swift and it STILL wouldn't be as "fascinating" a story that garners so much public interest. Know why? Because even though everybody was talking about Taylor before Harry and even though she already was a hot topic for the tabloids, her marrying him wouldn't be AS big a deal cause she's white. Yeah...I said it. Don't act like you don't know the workings of the world we live in and don't act like you're totally clueless of the cultural/societal norms that are preferably unspoken nowadays but still stressed nonetheless - THAT COLORED GIRL ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE A ROYAL. That's the story. That's the root of everyone's fascination which makes this thread 274-pages. |
Okay, bunny boiler. |
There are lots of narratives at play here. That's definitely one of them. There are others as well. You know that but are not acknowledging them so I won't bother elaborating. |
Really? That's pretty offensive language. |
Soooo this and cue the comments..."I'm not racist!" "Not everything is about race!" She's pretty and smart too which makes her a natural scapegoat. You know which black people were most likely to be lynches years ago? The successful ones! |

"Harry and Meghan can do more good as private citizens than they can as royals. Because its very clear that part of the problem in the royal family is that Harry and Meghan who seem very proactive...
they were told they can’t do more appearances than William and Kate and that was a problem because William and Kate don’t do anything...they're being held back - they can do more good, a Prince and his wife, as private citizens...” https://player.fm/series/series-2462971/the-sussex-royal-bombshell-and-pop-culture-resolutions-2020 Skip to 5:45 if you want the quote |
