I think this shows that the relationship with Megan and the rest of the family is just not a happy one !!

You think that just because Meghan and Harry aren't spending Christmas day with the Queen, that means her relationship with the rest of the family isn't a happy one? Just because of that? Really?

Please tell me you're no serious! What a bizarre conclusion to jump to. Not just jumping to conclusions, but well and truly jumping the shark! Confused

Nanalisa60 user name suggests she is a gm and possibly her age, maybe, just maybe she likes the royals and traditions liking her own family with her at christmas therefore posting an opinion.
she has posted before so why pile in and be so bitchy some pp?

Spudlet · 15/11/2019 09:32

The OP is a Daily Mail headline writer, clearly. They like RANDOM CAPITALS as well, don’t they?

I CLAIM my FIVE pounds.

Firstly, her name is Meghan not Megan. If you’re going to slag someone off, at least be bothered to spell their name correctly.

Secondly, Kate and Wills have spent Christmas with the Middleton’s before rather than the Queen. It’s no big deal at all. To the PP who said ‘what would Diana think?’ I reckon she’d have loved Meghan.

Imagine the aibu from her if she was any other random woman.

Dh is under constant pressure from his family. And the whole fucking world. He has a history of mental health issues and has spent every Christmas with his family in his life. His elderly grandparents, grandad known for racist comments, his dad and other woman and uncle pervo will be there.

We have had our first child this year and would like to spend a quiet Christmas with my mum in my home country.

It would be a unanimous yanbu.

Your post is just gossipy

So what? The Royal family live an amazing life of privilege...the least the plebs deserve is some gossip!

Jasimo · 15/11/2019 10:08

I like my in laws, I don't spend every Christmas with them. You are being ridiculous.

SarahNade · 15/11/2019 10:09

@littlepaddypaws rubbish! It is all about an irrational hatred of Meghan. Nothing at all to do with 'tradition', considering William snubs the Queen continuously for the Carol Middleton. And William is higher ranking!!

SarahNade · 15/11/2019 10:09

@formerbabe So what??? Just because they had no say being born in that family, does not mean we have the right to gossip about them!!

GlitchStitch · 15/11/2019 10:13

I've got no time for H and M but I don't see the issue with this. W and K spend Xmas with her family sometimes too, it's nice for the kids to experience a more 'normal' Xmas in addition to the formality of the royal one. I always used to feel sorry for Fergie who was left on her own whilst her girls were taken to Sandringham every year.

PortiaCastis · 15/11/2019 10:14

What a lot of speculative bollocks.
The Meghan bashing is incredibly cruel and folks are not covering themselves in glory

formerbabe · 15/11/2019 10:15

@SarahNade

Big deal. So not every part of their life is perfect...join the club.

If they hate it so much, go away and live like private citizens.

AwdBovril · 15/11/2019 10:17

OMG, aren't they?

Hmm
NonUrinatInVentum · 15/11/2019 10:18

Good lord. Your country is in the toilet with Brexit and the Daily Fail are doing a nice job of keeping you all so distracted by a pile of shite nothing while your government quietly dismantles everything Hmm

crazycatladyx · 15/11/2019 10:20

I'm not spending Christmas with THE QUEEN either Hmm

SilverySurfer · 15/11/2019 10:21

I wish all Meghan haters would bore off, dig a very deep hole and jump in it.

SarahNade · 15/11/2019 10:22

@formerbabe How is any of that even remotely a justification for the abuse they get and smear written about them? So because your life isn't perfect, you want to drag them down to your level? How about spreading kindness, not bitterness and vitriol.

SoupDragon · 15/11/2019 10:23

If they hate it so much, go away and live like private citizens.

How sweet that you think that is actually an option! 😂😂

StarlingsInSummer · 15/11/2019 10:24

Palace statement:

"Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess' mother Doria Ragland.

"This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen."

I think this says volumes. The Palace clearly wants to forestall criticism of their decision from people like the OP.

there is already a shit thread on this.

I said 'gossip' not 'abuse'.

Big difference.

formerbabe Actually, as has been proven with the Daily Mail and Meghan, there is a very, very, very thin line between gossip (which is often malicious) and abuse, especially when gossip is taken as fact.

beethebee · 15/11/2019 10:38

OP, suggest you try not being horrible about people you don't even know.

You will be much happier.

HTH

This isn't north Korea...we don't have to worship them and never utter a word of criticism.
