I really do not understand why.

I don’t think they have.

The Daily Mail are trying to influence public opinion much as they did with the Middleton family.

Nearly everybody I know likes her and thinks she’s a breath of fresh air. The others don’t care one way or the other about the Royals.

Samcro · 26/12/2018 23:17

i still like her. I just don't feed into all the media crap.

roastpotatoesrule · 26/12/2018 23:18

Jealousy
Racism
People believing any old shit they read in the papers see Brexit
Distraction from all the shit the country is going through (Brexit)

cheesywotnots · 26/12/2018 23:19

I didnt know anyone had turned against her, why would they. Is it just spiteful gossip in the papers which I won't bother reading.Sad

BillywigSting · 26/12/2018 23:20

What?

No they haven't

sue51 · 26/12/2018 23:22

She has her fans and her detractors but I don't think that many people care one way or the other.

2019Mummy · 26/12/2018 23:23

I haven't.

I just don't think she's suited to the stuffy British institution of the Royal family.

TinselandToblerones · 26/12/2018 23:25

The DM have been against her ever since Harry called the press out on their racist comments when it was first revealed they were dating. They were all mock offended about it but I remember articles about how the Queen couldn’t possible meet her mother as she had dreadlocks etc, etc.

They used to slate Kate all the time but she’s now basically the second coming in comparison to Meghan. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of their commenters are lapping it up. I don’t think the wider population feels the same though.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 26/12/2018 23:25

The simple answer is she isnt saint diana therefore not good enough to a) be a princess b) to marry saint diana boy.

Its media manipluation diana - apparently was a saint the media said so

Meghan - is a gold digger the media says so

Forgetting the fact that saint diana was in no way any think the media made her out to be she was a publicity loving media attention seaker. Who with jer silly simpering voice and model waif like looks maniplated the media and tje general public in to feeling sorry for her.

longwayoff · 26/12/2018 23:25

Piers Morgan is not 'the public'. Nor are the reptiles writing slop for the tabloids. Most people don't care one way or the other

Jsmith99 · 26/12/2018 23:25

The public haven’t ‘turned against’ Meghan.

The racist scum at the Daily Fail have turned against her for reasons which are as obvious as they are predictable.

SleepingStandingUp · 26/12/2018 23:27

Have they? Of course she has detractors but so did / does Kate, any of the Royals and anyone in the public eye. That's just life. I think most people are ambivalent

The public haven't. People who believe the DM with its nasty agenda might have. More fool them.

RachelDod · 26/12/2018 23:33

When she was dating Harry she was sold as a feminist and humanitarian. Then she did an engagement shoot in a £65k dress, spent £200k on wedding dresses, all the stuff with her Dad has been bad press, the wedding was packed to the rafters with celebs... The royal family seeming more celebby than royal... Stories about her first wedding being a marijuana party where she handed out drugs to all guests etc etc.

I'm not judging any of this myself but these are the reasons (I think) that the press/ public have started to turn on her. She doesn't seem genuine for the above reasons. Who actually knows the truth?

CatnissEverdene · 26/12/2018 23:34

Kate and her family had it for years. They must have breathed a massive sigh of relief when Meghan came along to pick up the baton for the DM. Remember the "waity katie" and "duchess do-little" headlines, along with her "commoner" family. Funnily enough, now Kate can't put a foot wrong......

It was the same with Diana and poor Fergie - she suffered dreadfully at the hands of the media. Talk about history repeating itself.

appleandpears · 26/12/2018 23:36

Daily Fail are just desperate to dredge anything up. If anything, I think the palace are handling badly, I want to see them kick back at the papers a bit more. Pretending it isn’t happening was probably once seen as the polite thing to do, but the fail shouldn’t be able to get away with such personal agendas anymore. I can’t see why they would stop if without legal threat, so the people commenting can continue to be so personal about her too. Just vile.

BobbyBanana · 26/12/2018 23:36

The public haven't turned against Meghan.

The gutter press are making it up to sell papers, end of.

JohnnyKarate · 26/12/2018 23:40

Meghan is the shiny new victim the press have set their sights on. Nobody in real life cares enough to think much of her and Harry in the detail the press go into.

Headstand · 26/12/2018 23:43

The coverage is disgusting and practically gaslighting in some ways. The ridiculous fantasy reporting that just goes round in circles until it becomes "fact" then switching tack and saying it never happened when they made it upon the first place. It's completely artificial.

I feel very sorry for Megan, and for Kate.

mydogisthebest · 26/12/2018 23:45

I still really like her as does my DH and all my family. I don't know why the Mail have to be so nasty to her. They make Kate out to be an angel and the most beautiful woman on the planet. I am sure she is nice but, in my view, is no where near as beautiful as Meghan

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 26/12/2018 23:45

I don’t hate her, I don’t know her to have an opinion either way. Though she does irritate me with the constant belly clutching as if she were the first woman ever pregnant.

BlackCatSleeping · 26/12/2018 23:46

Diana got loads of bad press, Fergie got loads of bad press, Kate got loads of bad press, Beatrice and Eugenie got loads of bad press, even Sophie got bad press. I'd say misogyny is very much alive and well at the Daily Mail.

ThePollutedShadesOfPemberley · 26/12/2018 23:49

The Daily Fail are disgusting in the way they report on Meghan Markle. They know there won't be a rebuttle of any sort so it's open season. The 'news'paper actually gets worse and worse on every subject but on this they hit the actual bottom of the gutter. It's like a bunch of sugared up teenagers with tiny minds coming up with shit and it gets published.

Parker231 · 26/12/2018 23:49

I didn’t know that the public had turned against her, only some of the gutter press who will do anything for revenue.
