“No one has asked if I was ok” (alight msiqiote but typing on phone)

What are people’s thoughts? Good on her i think but equally she can leave public eye

She will probably have some kind of breakdown and stay away from the public eye if this hatred campaign continues.

I’d be interested in what the haters will say about that.

There's no doubt that the media are absolutely vile. They have no boundaries when it comes to invading people's personal lives just to sell newspapers or get a few clicks online. Just look at the recent treatment of Gareth Thomas and cricketer Ben Stokes and their families.

I believe Harry & Megan are right to take this case against certain newspapers. However, the timing of the announcement was a PR disaster as it undermined all the great things they had done on their Africa tour. People were starting to see them in a good light and with the help of baby Archie this looked like being a real successful trip until they messed it up. Why couldn't they just have waited until they were back home?

“ This is far from the end of her master plan.”
How many people will she have to kill to get to be Queen? A sort of modern day Kind Hearts and Coronets? Grin

masterplan hahaha. Most people marry and have just their in laws to deal with, but Meghan has the whole world staring at her. For all their crying over Diana, neither the public nor the press have learnt any lessons. What's with painting her as a cartoon villain? She's a human being with her good and her flaws like everyone else. Having got a taste for being in the royal family I doubt she has any intentions of whatever it is everyone is suggesting. I do wonder if she said I'm going to be a SAHM no more public appearances, no more charity visits, just gonna sit at home in my yoga pants, hang out with my friends, bring up my children- could she do that?

Far from her master plan
Jesus H
Too funny Grin I refer to my previous post about a lot of bollocks

KurriKawari · 19/10/2019 17:03

Some people talk about her as though she's out in the night stealing babies.
Someone on Twitter said you can tell everything about a person depending on how they speak about Meghan.

KurriKawari · 19/10/2019 17:06

I do think all this scrutiny will lead to them getting divorced and then everyone will be like "told you, she had a MASTER PLAN"

PortiaCastis · 19/10/2019 17:09

No wonder the law suits are flying as the Krankees get worse and worse, the vitriolic shite is not funny and the keypad bullies wouldn't like anyone to say a word about them
Seriously how much bitching can one person take before they're on the phone to the lawyers.

TSSDNCOP · 19/10/2019 17:11

Come on then Claire what d'ya reckon this Masterplan's going to be? Does it involve a secret lair carved into the footings of Windsor Castle? Will she have the Golden Carriage pimped into the Megmobile, part private jet/part Death Star?

No one has a Masterplan based on marrying a bloke that's a Prince unless they're backed by Walt Disney.

Jesus wept.

PortiaCastis · 19/10/2019 17:15

Meghan bashing has become the national pastime and it's awful!

TSSDNCOP · 19/10/2019 17:17

Ah Portia do you not want to know more about the Masterplan though?

WineOrGinOrBoth · 19/10/2019 17:19

Masterplan? Masterplan?Confused I’ve heard it all now.

The woman fell in love. If she had a masterplan I’d imagine it was to live happily with her future husband. Poor woman. It doesn’t matter that she’s rich, she can still find it hard.

PortiaCastis · 19/10/2019 17:22

Nah got my own masterplan, which is to get on with real life and not become obsessed with thinking of ways to bitch about one woman

chicken2015 · 19/10/2019 17:25

Some of the things said is awful, to say people cant suffer from depression because they are rich is just ridiculous , so what if they have money for therapy or nannies doesn't take away what they r feeling. Some people thinking she is acting and this awful person , honesty r just weird

"When faced with adversity cowards look the other way so if you can't take it back don't dish it out"
This is one from my infamous Gran who won the war on her own obvs as she had a masterplan

KurriKawari · 19/10/2019 17:35

There's a post on Twitter but can't find it right now.
Kate pregnant, lots of pics with hand on her bump - Daily Mail "aww she's glowing and protecting her bump"
Meghan pregnant, lots of pics with hands on her bump - Daily Mail "look at her showing off"

PortiaCastis · 19/10/2019 17:38

The mail is scum

Dandelion1993 · 19/10/2019 17:45

It's not just her though is it.

Nobody ever asks mum or dad if they're okay. All post birth checks are aimed at the baby rather than the parents.

As MM in particular I think it was a bit cheeky.

Don't launch a legal battle against the press then try and get them to help win you some support.

PortiaCastis · 19/10/2019 17:51

Where did she ask the press for support?

Grandmi · 19/10/2019 17:56

All these stupid,ignorant comments about her being an actress are irrelevant!! Are posters saying that actresses do not have feelings and are not vulnerable like everyone else? I think the vitriol towards her and Harry is disgusting and destroys my faith in human nature ...agree they havnt always got it right but the monumental ignorance of the public is breathtaking,believing all the shit that is written about them in the press!!

What the actual fuck do you want of them?

The same as any Royal. Act with dignity and integrity ( ie not be in papers the whole time) , look good, open things and be the head of worthy causes.

What I don’t want; making it all about “ you”; drama, preaching, being a celeb. Not saying Meghan is doing all of these things but it’s more that way than the other.

She’s got her family now. Harry is never going to be King .There is no reason to stay Royal because frankly they aren’t doing a great job. Doesn’t matter if it’s warranted or not, they are in the papers for shit reasons rather than good ones ( or better yet, not in them at all).

TSSDNCOP · 19/10/2019 18:01

You do understand how papers work don’t you? Editors decide what goes in them.

RueCambon · 19/10/2019 18:02

It is not possible to rise above emotional responses to hurtful things.

I always knew this so i am not surprised but often it seems reading papers online etc that the general belief is that if you are rich/privileged/important/titled; you dont feel or have no right to feel
Ridiculous really.
