If the internet's been switched off we'll know it was really bad. Grin

Thanks, goodness, I probably won't stay up for 1am 🤣 but will be interesting to see what was said over the morning coffee.
I'll be on the bus by 0722 so I can have a look at what's on line then. Hope they have it condensed in to 25 minutes to match the length of my bus journey

Really? Below are the standard behaviours, I think they all apply. Although I guess writing motivational words on bananas for sex workers might be 'empathetic'

If you do any kind of meaningful work in mental health you’d know that diagnosing someone on the basis of how they have been presented to you by media reports and not ever having met them, is unethical.

Interested in this thread?

served in combat zones where, by all accounts, he was well respected

And of course went on to liken killing to playing a video game.

Quirrelsotherface · 07/03/2021 21:30

I think had Diana not died, Harry would not have married Meghan and William probably wouldn't have married Kate, without the trauma they suffered as children, they would be very different men

This.

@MintyMabel

We're expected to revere the Royals and 'know our place'. That's evidently not Meghan's style.

Evidently? Really? I asked this on Twitter the other day. In the days since she became known as Harry’s Girlfriend, then engaged and once married, what exactly did she do, in public that we have actual evidence of, that suggests she didn’t respect the royal family, their traditions or her place in it? Anything that was different to how Catherine behaved?

Yes, evidently, really. She did not last long, only to lock the deal in!!
Quirrelsotherface · 07/03/2021 21:32

Well, yeh, but if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle

Some people on here are absolutely insufferable and would literally turn anything into an argument 🤢

ConkerBonkers · 07/03/2021 21:33

Tippexy it was the Nina priddy interview. Very interesting to read, it's a long read. It's her childhood best friend who eventually went NC with her because she was so fed up with the way Meghan treated people and used them to her own advantage.

Whydidimarryhim · 07/03/2021 21:37

I’m looking forward to seeing that tossed Piers Morgan frothing at the mouth tomorrow. 😀😀

Sprining · 07/03/2021 21:38

I read MMs friends were warm and positive. Eg Lindsay Roth-

"Meg’s M.O. has always been kindness; goodwill runs in her bones. I know this to be true after 22 years of very close friendship

Sprining · 07/03/2021 21:40

And also another friend
Director Silver Tree, also shared a moving note about Meghan, expressing how the duchess is a doting and attentive friend who has often been there for her and her family during tough times.

"When my son was going through a scary, complicated diagnosis she is the friend who stopped everything and helped map out, step by step, how we would navigate things," wrote Tree. "She called all the people, all the places when I was too paralyzed to form a plan. That’s another one of her gifts- making you feel like you can get through anything

Roussette · 07/03/2021 21:42

Well.... our childhoods shape us, that's for sure. But it's impossible to speculate that had Diana not died, they wouldn't have married their respective wives.
Such a stretch to think like that to be honest.

How strange that they deleted it? What’s wrong with an interview?!

[quote ChocolateSantaisthebestkind]@Sprining megbot give over! Why the F do you think OW was at the wedding, they have been planning this all along! I really hope you are being well paid...[/quote]
Oprah met Meghan once or twice before the wedding. And then they give her a seat in the choir 😛. No other family except mother (a respectable and beautiful lady by the way) and a few scattered friends but not the normal crowd you would expect. Nothing against Oprah, I think she was glad to attend and play the part. But MM, I am old enough not to buy it. She is as calculating as you can get. This is going to end so badly for him I am already so sorry for him, he is not the smartest cookie but he deserved better nonetheless. Hands up to Chelsie after being honest to herself. As for them, they are in for the long haul and in a pickle. Just think about going against the RF while still clinching at the Dukedom your very grandmother granted you - hang on to it just because it serves the marketing!

Sprining · 07/03/2021 21:45

And another one about MM - Abigail Spenser - She’s been there for me - and physically held me - in my darkest hours: After my dad died. After a gut wrenching break up she brought me into her home & nursed me back to health. Soup & salad waiting in the kitchen, just, if I needed it.

Blueberries0112 · 07/03/2021 21:48

From what I understand, Oprah lives near Meghan and Harry

Sprining · 07/03/2021 21:48

Long time friends and colleagues of MM are warm and loving towards her.

It is very likely that she is a warm and caring person. That’s what PH has said as well. Why should any of us have an issue with this?

ConkerBonkers · 07/03/2021 21:49

Tippexy I'm not sure! Perhaps there are some palace officials or mm pr reps getting things deleted, lol!

Gadzookery · 07/03/2021 21:50

I think Harry will be back in Blighty within 5 years, sans wife and sadly, without the children.

ImAncient · 07/03/2021 21:50

Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t? I’ve heard rumours that she posted her rings back to her first husband? And he was completely floored. Doesn’t sound particularly caring or warm to me!

Quirrelsotherface · 07/03/2021 21:50

Her friends that you are quoting here, they are mostly all actors or in the entertainment biz and none in the A list, just wannabes, really. Make of that what you will.

Yeah, since a few months ago. You are right maybe part of the deal, to help them find a pad?
VladmirsPoutine · 07/03/2021 21:52

It's sentiments like this I find particularly unhinged. There are swathes of this country (perhaps even elsewhere) that are hoping, even praying that Harry and Meghan end up divorced or worse. There are people who are so desperate for it to end in tears they would sacrifice their first born child if it guaranteed H&M divorced one day.
