Like marrying a black woman? |
|
I cannot believe anyone in their right mind actually thinks the queen was blindsided by this and that Harry wasn’t 100% on board with this. In fact, I think it was his idea and Meghan was more like, well let’s move to Canada if we are moving. If she loves the limelight, as the posters here claim, wouldn’t she want to stay a royal?! It’s just easier to blame her than Harry I guess. He isn’t dumb, no matter how much you posters want him to be.
People seem to really forget how smart and quick the Queen is and how everything she does is calculated. The only people who may have been shocked, and that’s a big maybe, are Will and Kate. I believe the queen and Charles knew this was coming. Even a blind man knew this was coming. They have been preparing for awhile. All signs pointed to this. |
I always liked William and Kate and still like Kate a lot, but William smirking in reaction to Bishop Michael Curry's sermon during Harry and Meghan's wedding was not good. I've never quite looked at William the same way since. |
You should read their website. It covers the renovation costs at Frogmore (paid for by the Queen, not taxpayer funds). ‘They’ (meaning the stipend from Charles, paid for the interior design. Granted, this is their side of the story, so who knows. That being said, yes, they will only be permitted to call Frogmore home if the queen allows it. The spin on the site is well done. The theme is essentially ‘we would like our cake and eat it too, and ensure our son is duly recognized as a senior royal. |
She has a close relationship with her mother. It's just her crazy dad's side of the family that she avoids. |

Does she get the benefit of the doubt with everyone in her life then as well?
Dad, sister, ex husband, coworkers, brother. The list goes on. I liked her from the start, i did. I thought her family seemed shady as F and was so happy that she was moving forward. But, her entire time with the BRF has been one PR spin after another. She brings out her mom when it suits her and acts like she was raised by this strong single mom. When in reality, her mom peaced out and she was raised by her Dad (who wasn't a deadbeat). He cashed in Facebook stock to pay for her first wedding and put her through college, along with giving her connections in the business to start acting. Harry saying "what meghan wants meghan gets' when planning the wedding. Her complaining about not getting the Tiara she wanted (i suspect Eugenie was already promised it). The announcing of the pregnancy AT Eugenie's wedding. It is just so much. Then she takes every chance she is given and turns it into a PR stunt. The clearing of Wimbledon seats? People PAID for those seats and were not allowed in them. The constant complaining about no one asking if she is "ok" but then telling everyone to mind their business and leave them alone? If you want privacy GREAT!!!! Have it. Stop doing PR stunts, stop doing documentaries, stop doing interviews. Just fade away. Who here can tell me where Zara was last week. How about Lady Louise? How about Edward? How about Sophie? You can't? Oh, that is because they actually are private people except when they are doing official engagment for the crown. And, if Meghan doesn't want to work for the crown, fine. No longer do so. No longer have a title or royal guard. Don't take money from the Duchy (90% of their income comes from Charles and the Duchy) and just use the money the Queen Mum left Harry (millions). Go and be on your way and stop chattering about. |
Harry's not even the spare anymore. The minute Charlotte was born he became a nobody in terms of lineage. He is literally Andrew of the family. |
Oh the mom she didn't speak to much up until she had a ring on her finger from a Prince and wanted the strong black mom narrative instead of the raised by a white guy with privilge narrative. |
The Queen wasn’t surprised at all, everyone is just doing a little song and dance so she isn’t blamed by the public for allowing it. |
Does she have a close relationship with her mother? Doris was absent for most of MMS childhood. Her dad was her hero and advocate (according to her own words) |
He didn’t have to be the Andrew of the family- he could have been the Anne of the family- hard working yet still having a private life. |
And then he tried to sell her out for money. You know who kept their mouth shut and actually showed support. Her mother. |
You've made a lot of assumptions, all negative, about Meghan and put the worst possible cast on neutral information. If she is such a nightmare, why haven't those supposed castoff friends dished a bunch of terrible stories about her to the press? Why hasn't her ex-husband. If she were that awful or an actual narcissist, many people could make a buck selling some pretty detailed, outrageous stories to the tabloids. But they haven't. Her friends and coworkers have all been loyal to her publicly. The only one who haven't are the Markles, and their stories are just general comments. |
What evidence do you have of that? |
Yep. I don't see this being a big deal to them. Actually, traditionally, British upper-class are educated at home by a governess type until about age 5 or 6. |
