You claim to be black, but cannot see any racism anywhere when it comes to Meghan. Yeah right sis.
You saw 👀 it too..... was it the 1/4 black comment 🤔 despite Meghan saying she is half black..... I'm expecting no Black women are not regularly accused of being bullies 😒

Blossomgate22 · 07/03/2021 10:02

Not interested at all. M&H have made their decisions, I've no view on that either. They just need to get on with it and stop drawing attention to themselves. This interview is going to be dissected and reinterpreted so many times, silence would be much more dignified and easier to manage.

@Medievalist

At least he stuck to Camilla, how many men did Diana sleep with?

No idea do you? But nobody has suggested she slept with anyone else until she realised what a selfish cheating shit she had married.
Continuing to sleep with each other was bad enough of Charles and Camilla, but the way they trapped and treated a naive young girl was despicable.

You don't know when they started sleeping together, you don't know that "they" trapped her. Have you read how vile she was to her step mother and her nannies? How about the damage to her children of going on TV and doing her tell all? It must have been horrific for them, I wonder how much damage that did to Harry.

She was no saint. She set out to get him and then she regretted it, tough.

Interested in this thread?

Meghan is going to be composed and dignified and the British are going to crap themselves, once again, because they can’t silence her. She is more powerful than they are, and she will use her power for good.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 07/03/2021 10:07

Oh, I'm sorry, you're right! Camilla was the perfect person to marry the future king and didn't deserve any negative headlines Hmm

You must have twisted yourself into knots with the amount of reaching you did there.

Medievalist · 07/03/2021 10:07

You don't know when they started sleeping together, you don't know that "they" trapped her.

It's common knowledge.

Have you actually any idea of her mothers roots? Her mother has white heritage.

Yes black women are regularly accused of aggression and bullying. I'm black and I don't have any Caucasian ambiguity so I should know thanks.

@ancientgran

Camilla who had been shagging Charles behind the back of her husband and Charles' wife? Is that the Camilla you mean?

At least he stuck to Camilla, how many men did Diana sleep with?

How is Meghan more powerful than the British Royal Family?
Confused

The thing is words speak volumes and people reveal more of themselves than they sometimes mean to. Meghan described as 1/4 black. She is half black. That upsets a lot of people.
Livelovebehappy · 07/03/2021 10:12

toilenstripes the thing is, the majority in the U.K. don’t care enough about Meghan to ‘crap ourselves’. She’s not even been in the Royal family long enough for anyone to value her opinions. You might see this trolling online both for and against her, and the media, but like anything else, these are the comments from a very vocal minority. If she values her and Harry’s privacy so much, just get on with their lives over there - we really (really) are not interested.

UltraVioletRays · 07/03/2021 10:14

@C130 she is ethnically ambiguous. There is a reason for that, apart from the straightened hair. Look into her mothers heritage.
I am sick of colourism not being acknowledged. How can someone who passes for Caucasian claim to be a victim of the same experiences of dark skinned women.

all Toilenstrips@ what absolute rubbish how can you say that Meghan is more powerful than the British royal family you are either delusional or have no idea about it’s history they have overcome diversity at so many levels.
Meghan at best is a social climber who doesn’t care what damage she does on the way up, but you know what they say about the harder they fall. She expected to change the royal family overnight but realised this wasn’t going to happen, so has chosen another path.

mummywantstobeslim · 07/03/2021 10:18

Can't believe you are all going loopy for an interview Hmm

HmmmmmmInteresting · 07/03/2021 10:19

OP, the reason you are confused is because the 'royal commentators' are talking out of their arses and spewing hate already, acting like they've already seen the interview.

Watch this to see what happened when some were paid to pretend they had seen the interview. One has the courage to say Meghan was acting the whole way through, when she was the one giving a raspberry-worthy performance.

Best Freudian slip I've ever seen 😂

Re. the waffle machine - the Q. asked M&H what A. would like for Xmas and was told a waffle machine - that's why the child got this odd present.

UltraVioletRays · 07/03/2021 10:21

Black women are enough ffs. We do not need to beg for someone like Meghan who has not lived a life as a black woman to be acknowledged as a victim of racism when she isn't.
It's not going to change the way UNAMBIGUOUS black women are perceived.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 07/03/2021 10:23

@UltraVioletRays if you're black and are denying Meghan's complaints of racism then I really don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should read up on racism.

SionnachGlic · 07/03/2021 10:23

We ordinary folk all have our troubles without the millions of dollar houses, no financial worries, no childcare concerns etc. MM has it better than most. She wanted to be rich & famous, she didn't have to marry a Prince & subject herself to more scrutiny. But comparing her with Kate is not like with like...MM was already used to courting media, her career was about chasing fame & publicity & she wasn't some fresh faced out of school teen when she met Harry. Neither MM or KM deserve toxic media coverage but their respective ages & backgrounds are not the same. Also, MM has a ruthless streak it seems when you look at how she treats her own family. I would have thought better able for the slings & arrows as she's shot plenty herself. Criticism is brutal but it is the flip side of the fawning adulation that is part of the fame package. I don't care for her one way or another but I have enough of my own stuff to be getting on with than caring much about how her life is in USA. And this 'your truth' ....jeez louise... Just live your life in happiness in Cali golden sunshine, ignore the naysayers & stop whinging....

boireannach · 07/03/2021 10:25

Some commentators don’t actually have to watch it........

Liquorishtoffee · 07/03/2021 10:25

I don’t see how they think this will cover them in glory. Didn’t they watch the Diana or Andrew interviews (bit time mention It’s a Royal Knockout etc).

The press (some not all) always rip the royals to bits - the went after Kate (in the beginning, and she does still get some negative coverage), Diana, Sarah, Camilla, Sophie (to a lesser extent), not to Anne’s husbands though (?). It’s a woman thing.
