British press is really sexist. Why do all female royals have to go through this when they join the royal family. You might not care much about it, but as woman we should care that the press are so sexist. We should be pressurising our MPs to do more - follow up Levenson.

Some British people are increasingly racist in social media. Brexit etc... Social media can be poisonous - look at what happened in the US. Right wing press exacerbate this too. It's a social issue that affects our national fabric. M has been a target.

M is boring, entitled b class actress who rowed with her own family and didn't invite them to the wedding. Toxic. Now doing the same with Harry's family. How is he so stupid? If they didn't have money and education, they'd be on Jeremy Kyle.

Back to RWP - real world problems...

Sorry to be rude, but that’s such a ridiculous thing to say.

Posters on this very forum said that she was touching her bump too much when she was pregnant so as much as it's ridiculous it's also not very surprising. I wouldn't be surprised if someone started a thread about how MM doesn't blink 'like a normal' person or how her freckles are 'uneven' or that she inhaled and exhaled 'weirdly'.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 07/03/2021 14:57

How is someone supposed to look dough-eyed? Did she look at him and blink out some bread rolls? You're right, that would have to have been fake.

Think that takes the biscuit (!) for ridiculous criticisms of Meghan that I've seen on here: woman looks at husband on wedding day too soppily. Bloody ridiculous.

In the meantime, Andrew keeps all his titles and refuses to talk to the FBI about his relationship with a known people trafficker, paedophile and extortionist. He must not have had dough eyes.

Interested in this thread?

Dough eyed or doe eyed as in bambi?!

FascinatingWeather · 07/03/2021 15:00

Oprah once rented out an entire cruise ship for £500,000 to take her staff and their families on a 10 day holiday around the Med.

Seeing how much money she's getting for the broadcast, if I was a member of her team I'd be starting to flick through a brochure right about now.

@Port1aCastis

Dough eyed look? Was it made with self raising or p!ain with baking powder?

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 07/03/2021 15:02

Do you know what makes me defend them more? All the stupid daily-mail driven hatred that is spouted on here. Meghan looks too dough-eyed, Meghan just wants to make cash, Meghan is scheming, Meghan wants to destroy the royal family - can't you all see it's just a crock of crap whipped up to sell papers?

Tomorrow is International Women's Day and here we all are, shouting into the internet insults and baseless allegations about a woman that none of us even know and who has no impact on our lives. Have we learned nothing from the Caroline flack episode?

Anne1958 · 07/03/2021 15:02

I support Meghan and Harry, but I do have a slight complaint about her makeup .... I don’t think her eyeliner on this interview is suitable for her

I think she was channelling Diana.

@slashlover I thought I was posting on the tvaddicts thread about the C5 program. nothing wrong with my memory or opinion, if you need to use that as a reason to dispute my posts you're argument must be pretty weak.

Chailatteplease · 07/03/2021 15:08

It’s not because it was a dough-eyed look per se. It’s because it was completely obviously put on and not genuine.

Meghan: Looks at husband lovingly on their wedding day

PP: That's when I KNEW she was a wrong'un! Loved her up until then. Thought she was a breath of fresh air, I did!

Oh piss off the lot of you taking the Micky. It’s obvious what was meant. The look was fake, end of.

I think you missed the memo that it's not 'dough' eyed.

Mee too.
Even her eyeliner is wrong!

I remember reading in the past posters saying they don't like the way she wears shoes... I mean c'mon... when you get as ridiculous as this, it's no wonder people defend her.

Only last week someone posted that fairly early on as Harry's wife she wore a jacket over her shoulders, so she went off her straightaway because it was inappropriate

I would've thought it was a tad more inappropriate staying friends with a man after he'd been convicted of paedophilia myself...

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 07/03/2021 15:14

@Chailatteplease I wonder if people ever speculate baselessly about the way you look at people you love? Do you have people rooting for your relationships to go wrong to justify assertions they feel are obvious?

Port1aCastis · 07/03/2021 15:15

Yep so was the spelling Smile

Didn’t they accuse her of putting Princess Charlotte’s life at risk because of the bouquet of flowers she carried on her wedding day. These flowers were the same type of flowers carried by Kate on her wedding day You just can’t make this shit up.
JanetheObscure · 07/03/2021 15:19

I'll defend them - up to a point - because it's pretty certain that there are two sides to this story. I don't think H&M always behaved well, but then I don't think the royal family (or the institution) have, either.

The Queen is a remarkable woman, but she leads a monarchy which is stuffy as hell. Incomers (spouses) are expected to fit the mould, or else. Kate Middleton appears to be fully signed up and doing this quite brilliantly. Harry's mother didn't.

"My" truth - although Oprah won't ask me for it - is that H&M were unrealistic with the scale of their initial plans to be a modern royal couple, but equally the "firm" didn't give more than the very tiniest bit of an inch.

Roussette · 07/03/2021 15:19

Lampzade Yep.
There's hundreds of instances of stuff like this.

It tends to get ignored on these threads

British press is really sexist. Why do all female royals have to go through this when they join the royal family. You might not care much about it, but as woman we should care that the press are so sexist. We should be pressurising our MPs to do more - follow up Levenson.

I never understand why they get away with it when we know better. We only have to look across the pond at their hatred towards women reflected by birth control almost impossible to get in some states, let alone an abortion, to see a sustained attack on women's progress.

If anyone thinks this couldn't happen here think again. These media barons keep sexism and racism going on the royals, H&M and celebrities for a reason. Yes the money's great but they're super rich already. They cannot spend their money in 10 lifetimes.

They want to turn the clock back on the bloody lot of us - especially woman and they need our silence and complicity to do it.

Roussette · 07/03/2021 15:21

JanetheObscure Totally agree
