Meghan's letter to her dad in The Sunday Fail

[IdaBWells]

really? Is this for real? She sent her dad a letter last August and he said she hasn't tried to contact her. He just gave the letter to the tabloids. If this is real he hasn't told the truth about anything.

Grab the popcorn.

It's sad to see so many women on here (this thread and MN in general) so eager to tear another woman down and rip into her like a pack of vultures

I agree about some of the foul media coverage, but can't say I've seen too much of that on this thread - questioning some of her choices yes, but certainly not "tearing" and "ripping"

For some of us it's perfectly possible to regret some of what she's done and point out she doesn't deserve her family's behaviour and remember that she's a pregnant woman who really doesn't need this

As already said, none of those things are mutually exclusive

I know, joyful, but if you look again I said "this thread"

I agree some of it's been horrible in the past, but I was sort of hoping folk had moved on from that ...

Obviously several paid posters piling in now keep it up I can take it

If only ...

Clearly you can't take it, user, if the only way you can assimilate posts that disagree with you is by claiming that those posting can't possibly be giving their own views but must be paid.

What I swallowed “hook, line and sinker” was actually from an article in the Guardian

And?

Why do these threads always descend into a bunfight?

I think the word snarky is very descriptive sometimes

Yes joy. There are some who are determined to find fault with her and others who think she can do no wrong and there's a big conspiracy against her. Personally she's not my cup of tea but the way her family have bullied her in the media is just awful.

You said I'm not a huge Meghan fan
Why not? What has the woman ever done that's made you not like her? You don't even know her (I assume!).
I'm not particularly picking on you when I call you out on it... but all those who have made similar comments on Mumsnet and elsewhere (I have read many). I think it's bizarre and unkind thing to say about someone you've never had any dealings with.

And another one: Personally she's not my cup of tea
What does that even mean? In what way is she "not your cup of tea"?Why say it?

Just leave the poor woman alone to have her baby in peace!

I still don't understand the leaking of the letter?
If her dad wanted to make her look bad it has surely had the opposite effect?

I feel so sorry for Meghan, her family seem such a nightmare. With the exception of her mum, who seemed to be a lovely lady from what you can judge by watching their wedding.

So he's made himself look even worse.
What a fool he is.

I'll say it because that's how I feel about her!! It's not hurtful or nasty so I can say what I want. We are allowed to have opinions on public figures you know even if we haven't met them.

I find some of the comments about Meghan Markle to be disgusting. It’s so nasty and dispiriting that people can be so cruel. It’s bullying without a doubt...and she still appears in public smiling.

Just the leave the woman alone Er... you'll find in this thread I expressed nothing but sympathy for her situation with her family. I actually wish the newspapers would stop perpetuating it.

I to am not a big fan of meghan but i feel so sorry for her, she should be enjoying her pregnancy and not having to put up with her money grabbing father and step sister, Thomas Markle say's he loves his daughter so why did he hand over her personal letter to the press, it was for money i bet he was paid a fair bit, as far as i beleive her step sister Samantha has signed a £100,000 book deal, i'm afraid there going to try and make as much money as they can talking about Meghan. As for Meghan allowing her friend's to talk to the press Princess Diana did the same because they wanted to get there stories across to the public, they couldn't talk for themselves.
