Youth is wasted on the young and penises are wasted by men.😂 |

It's appalling, I simply can't get over how vicious and petty the details are. Daily Mail has excerpts of the Kate vs. Meghan anecdotes, and they are mind-glowingly stupid. Anger about hugs, lip gloss, children's tights and requests not to be too informal prematurely? I mean wtf. |

| Someone would have denied this from Harry’s camp if it were fake by now, right? This just can’t be real. |

Amazing how this is mostly coming from the Sussexes, and Meghan really does not come across well at all. Arrogant, abrasive, presumptuous, and definitely jealous. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11606199/Inside-Meghan-Kates-long-standing-feud-fallings-drove-apart.html |

It is mostly incredibly stupid and small, but do we think it's true Meghan paid for the Sussex's Ikea furniture vs. the Wales's lap-of-luxury decor? Very strange! |

You know Harry grew up with this opulence, it's normal to him. It looks as though petty little Meghan was the one with the problem, she hadn't even given their living situation a chance to "bounce." Who knows what the Queen would have had in store for them once she saw they were both contributing to the Royal role in the community? Little short sited on Meg's part. But greed does get the best of most people.

I'm with the PPs who think these two are reinforcing each other's immature self-centeredness to the point of toxicity. |

I think the reaction to this and them specifically is all very interesting. I just reread the article from The Cut, since it was referenced here as 'unflattering' to Meghan. And I thought this exerpt actually kind of sums up the whole issue.
The article I did not think was unflattering, it was just...accurate. I think they are the type of comically wealthy and privleged that they come off strange and stilted to normal people. And I think they have both endured a level of scrutiny and intentional tarring and feathering from the press that they have become intensely guarded and fearful about how they present themselves and as such DO have an overly curated vibe when presented with outsiders. I also think they are both extremely cheesy people, like the couple on instagram you know that makes you want to vom a little bit and that that side of them turns people off. But I know plenty of people that journaled and photographed their 'love stories' and their kids and etc etc etc and it is just who they are. Very cheesy, but not really vindictive or hurting anyone. I think it is accurate to say that M/H have lived a very intense few years. Under an extreme amount of scrutiny and negative press and both have, in the process, become estranged from their families of birth. And I think how people react to that is probably mostly our own baggage. Many many celebrities will point to losing contact with relatives who changed and became greedy in the face of their relation obtaining fame and fortune. Meghan's story is not particularly unique there. And many many words have been written about the oppressive side to living in the British monarchy. But generally I think people are attracted to stories of great endurance. Endurance is seen as a virtue. Someone who sticks by the troubled family despite hardship is loyal. Anyone who walks away from family must be selfish/greedy/whatever. And in reality these are deeply personal and difficult situations. In my house growing up there was also a rule that 'what happens in the family stays in the family' and spoiler alert, that is not actually virtuous, it is a GIANT red flag about abuse. People can be very wealthy, and be very abusive. I think at the end of the day it comes down to three essential truths 1) Harry has hated the press his entire life, and it is clearly a deep wound deep in his soul, and his family has not protected him from the press and in fact, in his moment of greatest need, they asked him to take one for the team and threw him to the dogs themselves, and that has created a wedge that will likely never be removed 2) Meghan was never cut out to be an obedient princess. She was/is a nice but ambitious and hard working woman with a vision of what she wants out of life, a clear feeling about what she believes is wrong and right, and an unwillingness to compromise herself entirely for anything or anyone. And in the end, this clashed with the institution and doomed her. She was never going to not fight back. And if you admire that quality overall you support her, and if you think she should have been thanking the gods for landing her a prince and keeping her mouth shut as she enjoyed the trappings of the royal life than you hate her. 3) Both have been in the public eye and famous for a very long time. Their existence requires income, and substantial income, to adequately protect their family. Meghan has been moving towards a goal of being famous for her entire adult life, and Harry has been taught since birth that he owes the world a life of service in response to the bounty he was born into. That doesn't make them inherently bad, but it does make it very not surprising that they are not fading into obscurity like wallflowers but simply building a business and life that meets those goals in their own way. Love them or hate them, they have decided to free themselves of being in the control of others and will accept the judgements we lay at them while trying to fund their lives and do good where they can. And they will continue to get incredible amounts of hate and vitriol and admiration and love regardless. I for one wish them well, even if they have gotten so famous that they are now probably just a little bit weird as a result. And I haven't read any negative stories about them since they've been in America personally, so I think a lot of that stuff is just rag gossip. As for William and Kate, I understand Kate not being open with her at first, she has been in the institution since she was a teen and trusts no one unless they have earned it. And I understand how an American not knowing how all this worked would find her rude and cold and off putting and not understand any of that and have that lead to incredibly hurtful and deep misunderstandings that go both ways. And I can see Kate being extremely jealous and bitter of Meghan's refusal to accept indignities that Kate has accepted (that is not a criticism of Kate BTW). And I think William is a rage a holic who has let the crown go, so to speak, to his head. I think he cheated on Kate, and I think he has been jealous of Harry's beloved status, and I think he is egotistical. And I think that is likely an inevitable state of being the heir. I imagine he both embraces and resents it. I hope they both (K/W) have found peace with it all. |

Meghan thought that the whole institution of the BRF should be bent to suit her because she's so special. And when it didn't, she cried. She was fighting back against what she perceived as slights, but is in fact just reality: you, Meghan, are NOT as important as Kate, because hierarchy. And this hierarchy will not change based on how fabulous or glamorous or popular you are. That's why they get priceless art and you get IKEA. Both of you live in places you do not own and never will. |
