Meghan has had her long interview and lied about a secret marriage

So when did they officially get married? Before the day we all saw or not? Confused

@PresentingPercy

Millions of people have not been happy about their public way Harry has talked about his family in a negative way and in particular parenting skills. Meghan has had her long interview and lied about a secret marriage and several other things. The are, nonetheless, still part of the RF and are very much putting themselves in the public domain whilst saying they want privacy. No doubt there wont be pictures of the baby and I’d be more than happy, personally, if they shut up and disappeared from public view instead of criticising and lecturing. It’s a childish name used by a childish couple calculating how to get attention. And it worked.
@PresentingPercy couldn't agree more with this.

@CokeDrinker

Ignorant and vicious as well as sexist comments on here are exactly why they fled the UK. Many internalised misogynists on this thread won't be happy until she (or he) goes the way of Caroline Flack. You people should be absolutely and thoroughly disgusted and ashamed of yourself, but you'd have to have self awareness, a heart and a soul for that.
harry may be doing all the talking now whilst shes gone silent , but she did her fair share whilst on oprah , you have dragged up caroline flack in previous threads before and its throughly sad that you feel the need to bring her into this , her suicide had its own unique circumstances as you well know and we all now so please stop stooping so low to make your point . harry and meghan are never going to be in that poor girls position as speaking of self awareness they lack it totally . and because some of us have a negative opinion of them and their actions does not mean we wish them to be dead , please grow up

@CokeDrinker For someone who is all preachy about “common decency” you are coming across as very judgy and mean spirited

@Aspiringmatriarch What type would that be? hmm
The daily mail's target audience.

Grin That made me laugh. Honestly I’m not like that at all! Apology (I think!) accepted

Aspiringmatriarch · 07/06/2021 15:24

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin
Sorry, that wasn't entirely fair. Just generally people are rather sanctimonious and quick to jump on everything Meghan and Harry do, it's a bugbear of mine!

@lollipoprainbow

I see piers Morgan has given his two pennarth worth, the navy needs serious help!!
Jesus what has a baby being born to do with that nasty grubby misogynistic kerb licking vulture Morgan, I really hope Meghan will sue the arse off him and serves him right for being so low and bitchy about one woman, he really does need taking down from his perch

So many people on this thread need therapy. This kind of fixation is not normal.

You don't know any of these people!

I'm sure the royals probably appreciate the sentiment, but probably would have appreciated it more if Harry had not spent the last year slating his family in public and talking about how unsupportive and uncaring they all are.

To name a baby after a member of the family after all that seems very disingenuous and for show.

Aspiringmatriarch · 07/06/2021 14:50

[quote Allmyarseandpeggymartin]@Aspiringmatriarch I’d totally agree with that if they had just upped and left to live their lives.

How could they trash the royal family in the media and on Oprah and then think that this will be received happily?[/quote]
I guess if that's your narrative, then this fits in with it. No point arguing the point with your type. 🤷‍♀️

@PresentingPercy

Posters are allowed opinions. We don’t all agree. Or even have to agree. If we don’t like a name it’s reasonable to be allowed to say that and why. We do not have to be told what to think and he told off by woke people.
@PresentingPercy So having common human decency is called 'woke' now, is it? Not sure what 'woke' has to do with this. Maybe it's just a desperate way to deflect from racist bullying.

There is a difference between not liking a name, and calling a black woman a narcissist for talking about the racist abuse she has received, and making misogynistic and hate-fuelled comments, insinuating Meghan (who is really the quiet one of the two) is some typical evil female succubus who lured Harry away, trapped him and is manipulating him as if he doesn't have a mind of his own and the woman is always the evil one. I didn't know one needed to be 'woke' to see that. But perhaps I was wrong.
