Do you think she will ever forgive or not?

Explain what we did wrong without mentioning the straight outta Compton headline.

ScurryfungeSpuddle · 30/08/2025 14:14

🤣🤣🤣

Disappointing that the OP chickened out after one post!

I couldn't give a rats arse about what she thinks.

Interested in this thread?

MM doesn't need to forgive us for anything. We didn't do anything to get apart to support the marriage. Then the truth about her came out, how she treated Prince Philip and the queen. How she seemed to think Harry was a billionaire and would be waited on and and foot as a princess. She really didn't understand the fact that she would be a working royal and serve this country. She understood it all backwards.

I never even realised she was 'a person of colour' till it was mentioned - over and over and over again

Neither did I but nobody ever believes me.

This is so totally utterly true! We were like “poc? Where?”

It’s been really hard for them since they were financially cut off, and had to buy a $20m house to live in.

Thoughts and prayers.

You mean paying millions for a lavish wedding and international TV coverage?

👏🏻👍

PorcelainBlueCorydalis · 30/08/2025 14:29

Why should she care?

Why should we care?

cramptramp · 30/08/2025 14:33

She wasn’t treated badly by the British people. It’s the press who have treated her badly.

tattychicken · 30/08/2025 14:37

Hopefully not.

Dappy777 · 30/08/2025 14:42

I couldn't give a flying f-ck. I barely noticed either her arrival or departure. I loathe her and the entire royal family. To me, Britain means Shakespeare and Jane Austen and Dickens, not that bunch of ugly, grinning gargoyles.

Delphigirl · 30/08/2025 14:55

She seems like a lovely person so I expect she will, but I doubt she will ever spend any time here given the unhinged toxic lying of the British press. She has a fantastic life in California so I doubt she will care if she never comes here again.

Sentientbean · 30/08/2025 14:56

The DM hateful misogynistic obsession with MM, the way they use her to distract from other newsworthy topics, the daily pile ons by their readers, it’s appalling. I can’t see her being eager to get back here. That said, I did watch an episode of her recent cringefest on Netflix….Every. single. last. item and tiny move calculated to the nth degree, even her laughter, with her tongue caught coquettishly between her teeth, which you know she perfected sitting before the mirror for hours on end. Please! Just STOP with the act woman. You’ve got your big house in montecito, your prince, your kids, FFS let go.

hahaha

Funny OP.

Who gives a shite.

Don't give a fuck!!!

Don’t look at me, I’m pretty sure I contributed to the whip-round for her wedding present.

Do you think she will ever forgive or not?

No one cares - including you seemingly 🙄

vodkaredbullgirl · 30/08/2025 15:05

Not you again 🙄

pictoosh · 30/08/2025 15:08

I'm the first to admit that I don't follow Royal Family goings-on...but the hatred for Meghan is unavoidable.

What is it she has actually done to deserve it? It seems to me that Harry is on board with her all the way, whatever it is they say or do. Why is she getting the blame and resentment?

I have heard some people say she disresepcted the Royal Family...and certainly there are clips of her committing some very minor faux pas going around...such walking ahead of Harry or some shit like that.
People can't seriously be hating her on the basis of that sort of thing?
I'd say that's haters looking for any old bollocks to hate.

What's the real issue?

DarkForces · 30/08/2025 15:08

I only refused to share my lip balm once. Didn't mean to set up a public dispute 😭

mordaunt · 30/08/2025 15:08

I don’t know why anyone really cares what she thinks. She’s dull as dishwater, which is why she has to keep on with all her crazed new ideas trying to drum up any media spotlight.
I wonder if anyone posting here about her are being paid to do so

A few Journos were nasty (and often racist), the rest of us didn't "treat" her in any way or even give much of a toss about her really.
I think she and her entourage overestimated her impact on British people

Exactly.

I believe she came in convinced she was going to be the glamorous new star of the show, and that her only real competition was Kate. And of course the press initially loved that she was an actress and brought a taste of Hollywood (albeit B/C-list). She sold papers and generated clicks.

But for a supposedly bright woman (and skilled manipulator, it seems) she was actually fairly naive about her place in The Firm and its structure. She expected to have to compete with Kate, but what she didn’t realise was that Camilla and Anne were actually higher up the ranks than her; that while they couldn’t compete on glamour, they both wielded more power than the wife of the spare. She should have looked at how Andrew fell down the pecking order as William and Harry grew up - he was the spare, and what Harry would have become. But she was vainglorious enough to think that, while Andrew had regularly blotted his copybook, the public loved the cheeky rogue prince she’d married and would therefore love her too.

Meghan Markle is ultimately an actress who misunderstood how big her role in the production was. It’s like having been convinced by your agent that the character you’re up for in EastEnders will be the new Sharon Watts (or maybe Cindy Beale in Meghan’s case), only to realise once you’ve signed the contract and are a few months into filming that you’re more like Honey Mitchell or the lesbian who used to be in London’s Burning.
