Has Meghan Markle disappeared from the media?

This thread has been inspired by watching Suits recently. It might just be me but does anyone feel that Meghan hasn’t been in the media this year as mush as she used to? Obviously she is in the media, I know she went to Nigeria recently with Harry and she has launched a lifestyle brand. It used to feel like she was in the media 24/7 for a few years. Piers Morgan used to talk about her all of the time but that seems to have mostly stopped.

Her Dad turned 80, yesterday I think?
I would be hiding away too 🤨

Not sure of the relevance? What has age got to do with anything whether you get on with them or not

She’ll be making a fool of herself again soon. Don’t worry.

I think that reptilian old wretch Tom Bower has had the Beckhams in his venomous sights recently, but now the book's old no doubt he'll be back to hurling shit at MM.

MarieAntoinetteQueenOfFrance · 23/06/2024 23:31

I think she's busy raising her children and trying to build up her lifestyle brand.

The gossip pages aren't really interested in that. There is more juicy stuff out there than trying to sell jam while changing nappies...

BeachParty · 23/06/2024 23:21

Other more important things in the media for them to focus on like upcoming elections, or whatever
No shit Sherlock it's all gone a bit quiet on the Daily Mail or Sun or wherever
They're not here anymore. They're happy in the US.
Which is evident when certain media outlets turn their attention away as it's usually gobshite opinions and never actually any news.

It was leaked on William's birthday that ARO are going to produce rose wine.
Newsweek are in overdrive trying to distance her from the Sussex Squad.
She has a new UK PR person. Stuff going on in background at the moment.

Also the media have lots of other topics to garner enough articles on what with the election, football and taylor swift ... when it's a slow new cycle I suspect they will be back to their nonsense.articles.to fill the pages.

Wouldn't blame her if she had. She could move to Mars and the Daily Mail would still be at her non stop.

There is only so much you can keep going over the same old shit of the past few years before it becomes boring an stale to keep regurgitating the same old nasty comments about them, even the rf board seems to have stopped posting thread upon thread about them...maybe they are all out enjoying the sunshine

Perhaps people have realised she/ they are quite boring and don’t want to hear the latest gossip anymore?

Exactly! They can’t say anymore about the royals as it’s all been said and they aren’t mixing with celebs or high profile people anymore so there’s not much for them to say. I do imagine people distance themselves from them naturally as they don’t want outing from them- I know I would if I knew them as I would hate to think they would speak about me or use me in an agenda!

headstone · 23/06/2024 23:05

I think it’s quite easy for her to disappear into obscurity if that’s what she wants. The Cambridge children are getting older now and already ‘hanging out with T Swift’. Younger generation have no memory of Diana and H and M are both middle aged now.

Bluewhitered · 23/06/2024 23:04

Yeah I agree.

I wonder though if it’s because her and Harry did the interviews and then the book came out and that’s now exhausted- people aren’t shocked anymore by their revelations and nothing more to say in the subject.
It created a storm at the time but more drama and gossip than real deep issues. Now since King Charles and Princess Catherine have had cancer I think people are very fond of them overall and it’s warmed people back to the royals again.

I mean- Harry and Megan will be glad of it I think as they wanted a quiet life away from the press. I think this is what will happen now. Especially now they aren’t going to the high society events they used to and building their profile. I’ve noticed people have turned away from them as well- like celebrities seem to distance themselves from them.

I neither like / dislike them as I don’t know them personally but I do think they may now have the life they want of peace and quiet away from the media and perhaps the interviews / book were necessary healing for them to move forward in their new life?

The tabloid "newspapers" have been distracted by the election and fawning over Saint Fartage.
They will turn their guns back on her soon enough.

Wishitsnows · 23/06/2024 22:57

I guess there is no real need or point for stories to be written about her.

PickAChew · 23/06/2024 22:56

Maybe people are just leaving her the fuck alone.

Americano75 · 23/06/2024 22:55

JaneAustensHeroine · 23/06/2024 22:51

Agree with @Opinionwontchangeluv the bullying is plain to see and is abhorrent. The media may have quietened recently due to focus on the general election maybe?

FlissyPaps · 23/06/2024 22:50

I hope she has, for her own sanity and mental health.

So many journalists, presenters and the general public are grossly obsessed with her. They love to compare her to the Princess of Wales. Which is pathetic.

headstone · 23/06/2024 22:50

Indeed, Jam making must be quite time consuming.

downwithmaterialistdogma · 23/06/2024 22:47

I think she's making jam now.

Opinionwontchangeluv · 23/06/2024 22:45

The bullying will return soon. People are obsessed with bullying this woman

Wtafdidido · 23/06/2024 22:43

Thought the same recently!
