What are the papers trying to hint about Meghan?

My curiosity is getting the better of me here. I know when papers can't print something, they hint and hint terribly:
-the falling out between the d.o.c & her Norfolk friend

  • comparing the guy who plays lord grantham to Ryan giggs etc.

But I just can't figure out what they're trying to say by banging on and on about the duchess of Sussex's 'unseasonably warm coat'. There's easily been 5 articles in the dm about it. I know I shouldn't care, but I'm bored and sleep deprived so if anyone would like to humour me, I'm all ears!

I should probably add I quite like Meghan and I'm trying to drop my mindless scrolling of the daily Mail so if you're going to slate either party, I'd much prefer that it was the mail!

I think they are trying to fat shame her. Shes just had a baby and she still looks better than me!

amusedtodeath1 · 26/09/2021 10:16

So they can have audio on their TV program documentary thing probably?

Bluntness100 · 26/09/2021 10:16

I feel sorry for her too and quite disturbed by the conspiracy theories, oh she used a surrgogate oh lili is imaginary, it’s just awful

Interested in this thread?

To be fair she looks better than me also, I don't like some of her fashion choices but, I'm a jeans and T-shirt person so what do I know???

For the same reason Harry has his mic pac showing in his pockets at various points - for the Netflix programme they’re making, which is why they needed to do this trip - they had to have something to put in the show.

It's nothing to do with the mail insinuating she is pregnant. They are saying outright that she and Harry are wearing hidden microphones for their Netflix documentaries and recording conversations without others being aware.

They aren’t doing an undercover exposé, why would other people not know they were being filmed/recorded.
LizzieSiddal · 26/09/2021 10:23

Coat to hide the microphone/ recording equipment.

But why wear a thick wool coat? Why not wear a thin cotton coat to hide your mic? It’s bizarre she’s wearing such a coat in 75 degrees!

AtillatheHun · 26/09/2021 10:24

There’s a photo of one of the meetings from Friday; she kept the camel colours coat on DURING the meeting which is really bizarre . I really don’t however think that they’re covertly filming / recording- they need to have participant consent for the footage to be useable so the other parties know they’re being recorded but they’re trying to make it look to the public that these were proper meetings, rather than for ups for filming. Hence also the ostentatious laptop / folder carrying- they have an assistant who could carry their crap but they need to put it front and centre for the optics of the filming.

@amusedtodeath1 ah ok, thank you 😊
StarkintheSouth · 26/09/2021 10:26

I noticed that Meghan’s outfit was headline news whilst updates on Prince Andrew’s court case was buried halfway down the feed. The reason you’re seeing so much fuss over what this woman is wearing is to bury the actual, scandalous news. Which is what the RF want.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 26/09/2021 10:26

God not everyone is skinny straight after the birth. I looked like an elephant for a year.

HeartsAndClubs · 26/09/2021 10:26

So instead of ignoring this shite and stopping reading the Daily mail and its ilk (they wouldn’t print this stuff if people weren’t reading it,) you started a thread to continue and extend the speculation? Hmm

amusedtodeath1 · 26/09/2021 10:26

There's something to be said about setting the narrative. They speak badly of others, others will have no guilt in speaking badly of them They're image is now associated with negativity towards others, it just increases it back to them. IYSWIM.

Well I hope they're not doing anything underhanded with those Mics and everyone knows they're mic'd. That would be my first assumption.

amusedtodeath1 · 26/09/2021 10:27

"their". Blush

AtillatheHun · 26/09/2021 10:27

(4 different $4k cashmere coats in 4 days though - if she isn’t merching, they will go broke on the basis of wardrobe! Loro Piano is so ultra jugh net luxury wear and totally outside the scope of the concept of fashion that I’m sure that’s a collaboration- a 40year old woman is not normally their customer base, it’s more like the 60+ yr olds

hopeishere · 26/09/2021 10:30

How cold would it normally be in NY in September that you would need a massive coat? I assume it would be high 60s?

The wire thing is interesting and makes sense. Im a bit HmmConfused at them carrying folders it's like they are trying to make themselves look businesslike.

CallmeHendricks · 26/09/2021 10:30

I saw those pictures and yes, I thought she is probably carrying a bit more weight than usual (NOT a criticism, just an observation), but if she is breast-feeding, then that might explain the much fuller bust.

LetterFox · 26/09/2021 10:30

Bizarre.

Either she is getting fall/winter clothes to showcase for a fee or @AtillatheHun said. Either way they seem very disingenuous. I wonder if Megan wishes she'd said in the Royal fold. I'm wondering why Megan doesn't try and go big in Hollywood? She has all the connection and is a very good access, right?

amusedtodeath1 · 26/09/2021 10:31

There's not much to be said about Andrew TBH. The good news is that he is not a divisive person at all, public opinion is very much against him. There's nothing really to talk about we all know who he is any nobody likes it.

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 26/09/2021 10:33

@Shehasadiamondinthesky

I think she IS skinny now, she’s very skinny. It’s the loose skin from her baby bump. I was the same with my first baby. I was very slim but I couldn’t loose the skin - it wasn’t fat, I tried everything I could but it wouldn’t go. Some women have that some don’t. I guess she does, she might not choose to have a tummy tuck or other surgery like other celebrities. I am not a fan of the royal family at all but I don’t think any women should be under pressure to do anything with such a young baby. The Mail are saying ‘look how fat she is! Or maybe she’s so fat because she’s pregnant’ and it’s shameful they do this.
HeartsAndClubs · 26/09/2021 10:34

So clearly this is just yet another Meghan bashing thread.

Let’s not pretend the OP is upset the papers print this stuff, she openly invited speculation and people are speculating in their droves.

Vile thread. As usual when it comes to talking about Meghan.

SomewhereInBrooklyn · 26/09/2021 10:34

They are saying outright that she and Harry are wearing hidden microphones for their Netflix documentaries and recording conversations without others being aware.

Quite ironic being as phone hacker Piers Morgan writes columns for them.

@Cactus1982

The press do this a lot when there’s a story they want to tell but can’t. For example there were loads of weird stories about Matt Hancock out and about with his wife and kids, turns out he was shagging his aide behind her back and had been for some if rumours are true. Likewise lots of stories about Philip Schofield, but I won’t say what was really going on there it’s not hard to find out though 😉
@Cactus1982 Noooo you can’t leave us hanging like that spill the beans Grin
