You sure can shed your birth family, shed your friends, shed your in-laws, shed your ex partners, leave your home but you are never free. You'll probably make similar mistakes with new partners, children and friends. Running from people only works if you become monks.

You are speaking only for yourself. Cutting off toxic family, friends and partners works wonders for most people’s health, both mentally and physically.

Except it’s a “you problem.” When it’s your father, cousins, best friend (remember her bestie maid of honor - gone), and your spouse’s family.

Not to mention the ex-husbands, boyfriend she dumped after she returned from her trip to Botswana with Harry, and the numerous palace aids (including one tough cookie who worked for Hillary Clinton) that Meghan also dumped.

Who is this alleged bestie maid of honor? Where’s the evidence for all these claims?

I don't think Meghan had a maid of honor at her wedding to Prince Harry, only the little girls who were bridesmaids. The poster may be talking about Ninaki Priddy who was Meghan's friend since childhood and her maid of honor at Meghan's wedding to Trevor Engelson. Meghan dropped her after she moved to England to marry Prince Harry and Priddy was not invited to the wedding.

Meghan was living with Corey Vitiello, a celebrity chef in Toronto, who prepared the ending banquet for the Invictus Games. Meghan was at the dinner where she spotted Harry but did not meet him. She had been hired to wear Ralph Lauren clothing to Wimbledon later that year and met a UK publicist for Ralph Lauren who was a childhood friend of Prince Harry. She persuaded the publicist to show her Instagram picture to Harry and arrange a date. The publicist arranged the blind date for Soho House. You will recall in "Spare" that Harry said he had been boating before the date, didn't get to a bathroom in time and wet his pants. He showed up to the date with Meghan with damp pants but did manage a second date the following night. A week later they went to Botswana. After Meghan returned to Toronto from Botswana, she broke up with Vitiello. These details are pretty well confirmed by the many different people who have written books about the couple, including Harry.

The palace aid who worked for Hillary Clinton was Sara Latham who was hired by Queen Elizabeth to work for Meghan. After she resigned her role as head of Meghan and Harry's communications team, she worked for the Queen for a few more months and is now running her own political consulting firm.

The biggest reveal is their dinner where Meghan was told she was inappropriate to Kate when she said " It's fine, it is baby brain."

"We aren't close enough to talk about my hormones. "
(What?)

She didn't know how to compete with Meghan in the shared limelight. William really has a thing where he is pretty petty when it comes to Harry. He has to be in charge.

Secondly, Meghan encouraged Harry to get therapy which is really too much for this group. They accused her of brainwashing him.

Dp. What Meghan said was wrong and rude to Kate.

DDP: I disagree. I don’t think it was a rude thing to say. I do think it’s the kind of comforting thing that many Americans would say to a friend. And Kate made it clear that she didn’t view them as friends.

They weren't friends. They had just met! I would be insulted by that sexist comment. Not very liberal for Meghan to say and untrue as well

Different strokes for different folks. I know I e told someone “don’t worry about it. You have baby mush brain right now. Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Frankly I don’t think I was being rude, but comforting. I was making an excuse for their behavior under strenuous circumstances. Dealing with a newborn is strenuous mentally and emotionally. And IMO, we as women act differently and our brains are full of fog during this period in our lives. Meghan was too American and too open, too familiar when Kate the Brit was having none of it.

It means every interaction with Kate had to be uncomfortable. As much as people say Meghan should have known what she was getting in to, she probably never expected Kate to attack her.

Every family has disputes like this and personalities that clash. I think the crux of the problem is that Harry and Meghan chose to expose this in public, knowing that it would blow up.

The only dispute was that Harry and Meghan wanted to be part time royals and the Queen said they had to be full time royals or find another way to get rich(er). They chose to leave the family and find freedom. Now Meghan is being lionized as some great feminist leader when she simply married a rich man and derives her identity from him (Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex) and her employment opportunities based on his family.

It's not some cutesy American thing women all say to each other. Especially from someone who doesn't even have kids. A friend might say it to another friend, who are both mothers, when one can't decide what to eat for dinner or some other trivial thing. Otherwise, it's rude and inappropriate.

Co-worker. Haha. You have really jumped the shark PP.

It is reasonable to assume that your relationship with your soon-to-be SIL is on a different level than a coworker. Yet, even with co-workers, it wouldn't be unreasonable, condescending or rude to excuse a lapse by attributing it to baby-brain. Presumabley, there is some friendliness and goodwill between coworkers. What the incident highlighted is how very wrong that assumption was for the family Meghan was joining.

They weren't friends, that was well established earlier. Go on and try saying that BS to someone at work, see what happens. You're aren't going to get high five when you say that to your boss.

DP. Maybe not friends but damn, they were more than co-workers. Unless of course you think they weren’t family and they are all just working a job together. Do you consider your in-laws your co-worker. Their children are cousins.

My siblings children and my children are cousins. What’s that supposed to mean? They’re not even as close as co-workers. Relationships shouldn’t be pushed on each other.

Not the right comparison. Are you close to your SIL?

It opened up lots of opportunities and they no longer have to abide by royal constraints while still able to use their royal status to their advantage. Wealthy and influential people in Hollywood tripped over each other to give them favors. I think there is some truth to some powers hoping for them to run for White House.

You believe in a lot of conspiracy theories also, don't you?

This one makes some sense.

That a foreign born prince can run for president? Ok.

His wife can, he'll make a great First Princely Gentleman with lots of global connections. Power duo.

It has to be Meghan. The only people of color who have risen to national office are not fully African Americans: Obama had a black African father and a white American mother; Harris has a black Jamaican father, and a brown Indian mother; Meghan has a white American father and a black American mother. With the Hispanic population tracking to be the majority in the US by the middle of the Century, there are only a few more chances for Meghan to be elected to the presidency. During the eight years following Biden, she will continue to position herself for national office. I suspect she will win a congressional seat in two years and then spring that into a run for the presidency.

you can't be serious. that's more work than a 9-5. No way she is doing that. She graduated from that long ago. No way she runs for Congress or Senate.

No. We’re very different from each other. In the beginning our conversations were mostly awkward and distant. Now, years later, we’re a bit closer but I know more about my colleagues. Thank God she wasn’t the pushy type or blamed me for being different, especially in the beginning

Do you read many memoirs? They are told from the author's perspective. This isn't new. That's not to say there aren't other perspective or opinions out there, but that also doesn't mean the author's truth trumps anyone's else. You don't seem to understand the genre.

This.

Yes, memoirs are written from the author's point of view, but this book and subsequent interviews continues to push the narrative that his truth is all that matters and everyone else's truth is wrong and mean.
Both can be true. Harry can feel William does not like Meghan AND William can feel that Meghan is a fake gold digging which who lies and decieves.
Harry completely tries to play the victim and begging for grace while offering ZERO to anyone else.
