“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

If she was my friend I’d tell her that yes the media are bullies but if you are more discreet they will loose interest. That would be my advice.

I agree with this.

PH is at fault imo, he knows the press.

How anyone thought 'leave us alone we need privacy' and then immediately 'watch interviews of us talking about our feelings ' would be received well is a moron.

Fergie and Camilla had an awful time, as did Charles, and turned it round. Harry is just making it worse.

BUT let's face it Andrew is the real issue and Harry and Megan are doing a great job of keeping him off the front pages which shows just how scummy the press are.

Threads on MN make me hoot.

A poster on this thread who is suggesting she is acting a role in the interview has been on another MM thread saying what a rubbish actress she was Grin

MM threads bring out the hard of thinking and the down right unpleasant don’t they? I can only imagine what a hard life one must have if you have the emotional depth of a wooden spoon.

Interested in this thread?

This isn't an interview, it's a documentary of their tour of South Africa. Loads of the other royals have done them. As far as I can see they can't bloody win. People sit at home bleating that we pay for them, they want to see them, they have to show us their baby, etc. Then when they do, and they answer a question asked of them, honestly, they should have kept quiet.

What the actual fuck do you want of them?

SillyBillyBandy · 19/10/2019 10:07

Okay a documentary of a tour where they talk about their feelings 🤷‍♀️ either way it'll have the same result.

I don't want anything from them, they want to have less press intrusion. This is not the way to go about it.

Hey1256 · 19/10/2019 10:09

What the actual fuck do you want of them?

Exactly. Pepe are absolutely nuts.

Begged for them to stop being private and let us in, then they do and get totally slated.

Honestly the behaviour towards H and M is utterly disgraceful.

They will never win

TheFairyCaravan · 19/10/2019 10:17

they want to have less press intrusion.

Where have they said this? What I've seen is they want the Daily Mail and Piers Morgan to stop making up utter bollocks, about Meghan, on a daily basis.

I feel sorry for her. She fell in love, gave up everything, eventually to include citizenship of the country she was born in, silenced herself from speaking about the causes she had been championing for years and came here to this bullying.

Plenty of posters here have a shit show of a family and plenty of them allude to being in privileged positions in terms of wealth and support and for them there are posts full of support and advice. Meghan says she’s struggling, in no small part due to her family selling stories, letters and going to London (accompanied by the paps of course) ‘to make amends’ and people here blame her.

I had no idea who she was before she started dating Harry but feel so sorry for her. I hope she will be ok soon and if I ever get to meet her I’ll ask her.

Meghan is a US citizen, and I have never heard that she was asked by anyone to give this up. Eventually she may become a dual citizen, but as far as I am aware she isn't yet. Most US citizens who become citizens of the UK do not give up their original citizenship, and if they do, it is their choice (does occasionally happen due to tax etc).

diddl · 19/10/2019 12:14

She says that not many have asked if she's ok.

Who is she expecting to ask beyond Harry, her mum & her friends?

Is it a dig at the RF?

heath48 · 19/10/2019 12:31

Yes a dig at the Royal Family.

ClaireS79 · 19/10/2019 13:12

She 'gave up' nothing. Just look at her dating history. Every person was a step up, she got what she wanted and moved on. She chose to move over here. Her acting skills are far from remarkable.

ClaireS79 · 19/10/2019 13:21

Harry's over the top letter on the second last day of their royal tour was just another unnecessary feck up. The sooner these two realise they are their own worst enemies at the moment the better

TSSDNCOP · 19/10/2019 13:23

Doesn’t everyone dating history look pretty much like an upward trajectory (albeit less cash involved) until you find your match? You could definitely look at mine and most people of my friends and reach a similar conclusion. You outgrow people and move on until you’re ready to settle.

I suspect what really grates the haters is that actually Meghan is a really nice woman with genuine interests and a backbone to stand up and be counted who’s probably going to do well over time.

Thus the dire predictions and sniffy attitude to her acting skills will become more and more irrelevant.

I now expect the accusations of cap doffing and stupid comments about why I should care about a person that doesn’t know me to spew forth.

ClaireS79 · 19/10/2019 13:25

She's certainly determined, I'll give her that. Found her incredibly fake during their engagement interview and she's done nothing to change my mind since.

TSSDNCOP · 19/10/2019 13:32

Claire you sound just like my nana. Determined = sharp-elbowed little hussy doesn’t it?

joyfullittlehippo the time and effort you put into researching MM, the rumours and these threads is alarming.

No it’s not. What is alarming is the amount of posters who hate this woman with no concrete reason, just a feeling they have.

Now that is worrying and very telling.

Do you not think that odd?

TSSDNCOP · 19/10/2019 13:59

As am I tbh Engineering. Is there a post limit you know about that I don’t?
