Firstly three episodes in.... My heart is breaking for her. She's so beautiful, energetic, charismatic but wants a voice which she is 100 percent entitled to.
I comparing her childhood to Katie's here.. I believe Kate was raised with the intention to marry a very wealthy man & to be a supporting role. From the word go I get the impression Carol & Michael had big aspirations for their three kids.
However I think Megan was raised to be an activist & leader, she was the leading lady in her life & wanted to quite rightly be Harry's equal.... She wasn't raised to be in a supporting role.. I feel she & they have been deeply failed.

Kates parents - aeroplane careers, superficial business selling party items, armed forces and wealthy links.

Meghans parents - mum was a social worker, yoga teacher, psychotherapist and dad media orientated.

Yes Kate's parents very ambitious, her and Pippa have married well.

Skiingonagreen · 23/12/2022 01:16

Meghan's mum is wonderful. I just feel Kate had the whole lifestyle carved & curated for her. Pippa also married a multi millionaire.
Meghan is extremely well educated, was an activist & leader since she was 11 but had no education on the British "class system" which while totally ridiculous in this day & age is something Harry should have insisted on.

And James has married very well too, his French wife is extremely wealthy & well connected in her own right.
I feel sorry for Meghan, she's beautiful, charming, highly intelligent & educated but there seems to be no place for her in British high society because she has opinions & is not afraid to speak out.
I feel Kate & Pippa have been raised for supporting roles to rich & powerful men but Meghan was raised to be a leader & activist in her own right. It made uncomfortable viewing for me .

Odd that she wanted to use the vehicle of an unelected monarchy to further pursue her leadership ambitions though?

Skiingonagreen · 23/12/2022 01:29

I think herself & Harry are genuinely in love & she felt her voice mattered. Kate is so cagey, gives nothing away. The Middleton's played the long game from the word go from birth I reckon😜 Had Meghan had a similar childhood (similar to Emma Woodhouse) she might have been better received.

Are you pulling our leg, op, you little tinker? ☺

SighsTheNewWord · 23/12/2022 01:41

So is this thread supposed to cause posters to bash Meghan or Kate - I can't tell who the klaxon's for? 😆

Quirrelsotherface · 23/12/2022 02:33

Why bash Kate to praise Meghan. Stop feeding into the PR and propaganda and just get on with things as they should be doing.

All Meghan has talked about is slagging off the Royal family, how hard done by she was, how everyone else was at fault and cannot seem to see even a miniscule fault with herself. It's textbook narcissism.

Greatly · 23/12/2022 02:36

How pathetic to genuinely believe this just to feed your love of MM.

AngeloMysterioso · 23/12/2022 02:53

Fuck me OP could you repeat yourself a bit more?!

”I believe Kate was raised with the intention to marry a very wealthy man & to be a supporting role… However I think Megan was raised to be an activist & leader”

“I just feel Kate had the whole lifestyle carved & curated for her… Meghan is extremely well educated, was an activist & leader since she was 11”

“I feel Kate & Pippa have been raised for supporting roles to rich & powerful men but Meghan was raised to be a leader & activist in her own right.”

Why couldn't Harry have educated her himself?

He giggles like a 6 year old when he explains how he didn't tell her what to do when meeting the queen.

hay5689 · 23/12/2022 03:14

I can tell from Meghan working on wheel of fortune and suits she was raised to be an activist 🙄

Stop pitting the women against each other, they are very different people.

MargaretRiver · 23/12/2022 03:27

So in 30 years of activism and leadership, what has she actually achieved, would you say?

FlairBand · 23/12/2022 03:35

Now now Omid, it must be nearly bedtime for you surely?

I hate to say that I don’t think she would have been so in love with Harry if he hadn’t been a prince. On paper they aren’t really that well matched - she is much brighter than him for a start.
It will be interesting to see where they are in 10 years time (I’m pretty neutral on this whole subject but really hate the misogyny of the Team Kate v Team Meghan thing)

FishBowlSwimmer · 23/12/2022 04:01

Why is it always Kate Vs Meghan FFS, it's so wrong. Surely the debate is M&H Vs the RF, the press, social media, even the public at large but not Kate as an individual.

You all bang on about the bullying of Meghan but by the same breath do the same thing to Kate.

It's not Meghan I dislike it's her supporters who do stuff like this.

Sorry for the empty post

I agree.
When she talks about telling her friends the fact he is Prince Harry is very early in the list of things about him.

The soap/washing-up liquid - can’t believe no one has hard of this 😂

Yup.

MissTrip82 · 23/12/2022 04:46

I can’t believe there are people who think ‘marrying rich’ is ambitious.

Good grief.

We have no reason to think the Middleton’s are that stupid or vacuous.

Wait, what? Something happened with "dishsoap"? Meghan's kept quiet about that!
