Sussexes and bullying campaign

[DeepThinkingGirl]

Hi everyone !

Does anyone find the constant bullying of the Sussexes to affect their mental health ?

I find the mainstream misogyny to be a reflection of how society really does view women as a whole and how othering it is of people of other cultures.

I think baby Lilibet would be very sad to know the world received her with such strong opinions against her naming. It’s really sad that the world so full of hate doesn’t provide a nice place for kids to grow confidently.

I feel like if this happens in a powerful royal family, what’s there to hope in your average family!

Btw I have in law issues and I find the attitudes towards the sussexes triggering and upsetting

I really think these dramas are sucking the joy out of the beautiful moments that are meant to be enjoyed by the sussexes

I dont think misogyny comes into.it. they are both disliked equally by many people for various reasons.
If they didnt keep talking half truths and lies and being hypocritical by preaching love and peace whilst simultaneously stabbing people in the back things would go much better for them.
Frankly much of the shit show is of their own making.
I cant see why it would affect yours or anyone else's mental health though.

Sorry that reads harshly
I am sorry you are struggling. Maybe step away from the whole thing if it helps .

I think the whole thing is a mess. Both sides hurting and silence needs to happen from everyone for a few months. That includes palace sources and friends of the couple etc. The media can not report or comment on nothing happening or said. It was beyond daft naming the baby what they did. As bound to cause negative attention. However what is done is done. Other than the poor kid having to live with the awkward clunky name for all official purposes. Lily luckily sounds like the name they will call her daily and that is nice.

That was a bit mean if me OP. But really they've not made it easy on themselves. I'm sure you're situation is different and if it's any consolation, I think most families are a little bit messed up in someway.

Is this a joke? THEY are the ones bullying.

I really don't think it's a bullying campaign OP. I know some people are just assholes but there's a lot of people like me who started out very much in H&Ms side and who now think they're taking the piss.

Meghan did get a lot of unwarranted criticism and abuse at the beginning, for no reason, she hadn't done anything at all to warrant it. But I think looking at it most of the really damaging stuff came from members of her own family. Which is disgraceful, but not the RFs fault. They can't control what gets printed. How were they supposed to stop people from writing negative stories or making negative comments???

I understand that it must have been very hard for them, but they're blaming the wrong people and lashing out because they couldn't have the half in half out situation they wanted.

None of it gives them the right to trash the institution of a grieving, 95 year old widow.

If you believe everything H&M have said you could be justified in thinking that the RF is bullying them, bit if you actually fact check what they've said a fair bit is either misleading, inaccurate or conflicts with previous statements.

Therefore it seems quite logical to take what they say with a pinch of salt.

It actually scares me that people are this credulous.

How did you pick that username @DeepThinkingGirl ?

If someone said awful things about my 95year old grandmother when her husband was dying/she was grieving I'd think they were cruel heartless bastards tbh. It doesn't matter why or who's in the right.

They would be bullying a vulnerable elderly woman.

But they're shoving themselves into the media.

I like the name Lilibet very much but they did pick the 2 names which they could monetarise the most. They've got a wedding which cost over £30 million (the 'spectacle'), multi million mansion, so hopefully they will just enjoy their young family from now on. Sort of agree with @Crankley. @RickiTarr I remember that character

It’s a shame. That piers Morgan chap is obsessed with bullying the Duchess. I’m glad they’ve fought back, but ultimately they are better off in America.

I think Piers is making a living from commenting on them at the moment!! He did know Harry from when he was a child, the family etc.

Wow.

they are both disliked equally by many people for various reasons. If they didnt keep talking half truths and lies and being hypocritical by preaching love and peace whilst simultaneously stabbing people in the back things would go much better for them.

I cant see why it would affect yours or anyone else's mental health though.

I agree - they are alienating people with their frankly awful behaviour, and they never seem to learn. Many who felt for them initially have since changed their minds, and they have only themselves to blame. It is becoming very difficult to feel any sympathy for them, as they seem totally lacking in it for others.

To affect your mental health? Maybe you need to look at it more objectively, so to see H&M have caused a lot of hurt to a 95 year old woman, and other members of the family. Publicly trashed the family several times on tv. If they had said their piece and moved on, more people would have respect for them, they haven't. They are dragging things out and contradicting themselves in the process, which is a reason for backlash against them.
If this is affecting you, I'd suggest not reading about it and switching off when you hear it.

Don't read articles about them if it bothers you.

The world is full of misogyny but I don't think that's what's driving the Harry/Meghan narrative.

So two hugely privileged people persist in poking and prodding a hornets nest and crying when... Well I would say they get stung but there haven't been any actual consequences for their thoughtless childish actions have there?

They either want to be in the public eye or they don't

Thanks for that Omid Scobie ....

Harry and Meghan would be a lot less hurt if they stopped the public admonishments and public displays of anger. This hurts everyone around them including themselves.

It seems from the start of their relationship, they have held themselves to different standards from the ones, to which they hold their family members.

Moreover, Harry would be a lot less hurt if Meghan stopped for once in her life and reflected upon the ease in which she discards those around her once she considers them no longer useful.

You do know there are plenty of famous people who keep their private life private and have no issues at all with the press? They all have a secret in common: they don't talk to the press, they don't go to TV shows, they don't give interviews and the don't respond to online provocation, they simply ignore it.

If you want to benefit from a public life, then you need to accept the downsides to it. Which are, well... public exposure.

Are they though? They don't seem particularly contented IMO.

I never really understood why moving stateside was the answer to all their problems. Racism no better in the US. The press, I can't see how its any better there than here tbh. Especially as we are all so connected these days.

I don't think it's the refuge they thought it would be.
