To wonder just why Meghan seems so unpopular?

[Mrsm49]

Just that really. I obviously don’t buy the magazines that must print all the insider gossip. From what I’ve seen of her I’ve liked, and felt some sympathy for her. Am I wrong?

Her sister is the worlds biggest arsehole.

I feel really sorry for her dealing with her father's totally embarrassing behaviour and her clearly crazy half sister. However, I do think it is very strange that she didn't have a single other member of her family at the wedding other than her mother. If she is close to her nieces, why didn't she invite them?

No one knows if she is acting however dropping your citizenship

She hasn't dropped her citizenship. She plans to take British citizenship, but I doubt she will renounce her US citizenship when she does. She will likely have dual citizenship.

Jealousy from other women. It was the same with the wives of the Beatles, the girlfriends of One Direction. Duchess of Cambridge got a lot of stick before Meghan came along, now suddenly she is perfect.

She's beautiful, slim, married to a Prince and unfortunately there is a large majority of women who will dislike her for it. Despite this women supporting women stuff that's spouted these days, it's not really like that and it's very sad.

Prefer Kate. DoS sibling's may be (well they are) odious, but the one thing all her distractors, including her former best friend, all consistently said, was that she goes cold on people once she gets to where she wants to, and on the face of it, it appears at least to have some truth to it.

When it suited her to appear caring to the public she sang her father's praises, remember the press release from KP pleading he be left alone and advertising how much she cared? The 'happy father's Day' Instagram? Then it appears that he has now been frozen out.

Before the wedding someone posted on one of the many MM Meghan threads after the KP statement, that it was a sign her father would soon be dropped. And hey ho.

Yes he had gone to the press, (I feel he's being influenced by Samantha) but as I understand after the GB interview, which was pretty harmless and during which he did nothing but praise her and Harry really, he has heard nothing, no phone call, no way to get through.

Not praiseworthy behaviour in my book. Charity begins at home.

I read somewhere today that her Dad says he's not going to stop going to the press now until she speaks to him. They're all bonkers

What is wrong with you?

A lot of people pretend the toxic/abusive family they don't want contact with are normal as much as possible. It's part of moving on and having a normal life for the victims of these people.

I would be VERY surprised, based on their own behaviour, if the paternal side of the family were not dodgy - the "sister" in particular comes across as a complete scumbag, without Meghan or anyone else needing to say or do anything to create that impression. I would not blame Meghan for having dodgy people in her family if that is the case, it is not her fault in the least and we are past the point where we used to assume the parents were always saints and the kid must be rotten.

Also... she is free to love who she wants and make the choices she wants to - being a feminist doesn't make it her duty to do what someone else thinks is ok that's bloody ridiculous. WTAF at that.

Ditto

I don't understand why she needs to go see him? He's the one behaving monstrously - talking to the press about private conversations, in effect threatening her if she doesn't see or speak to him and attempting to suggest that she's deeply unhappy.

I thought this article was great on the subject: www.the-pool.com/news-views/opinion/2018/29/meghan-markle-thomas-markle-complicated-families-and-absent-fathers

I like her. I think she is very american and very hollywood, and that doesn't go down so well here. It's a sort of self consciousness and awareness of being watched that makes the person feel fake. And it's worse in her case because in America or in a Hollywood environment you can play up to that, but she's expected to be demure and polite and "English" about it. I think it will settle down as she gets comfortable and starts to find boundaries that work for her. There's no doubt in my mind that she won't be sticking to the rigid old fashioned royal box, but I think she'll be careful about how she breaks out. And over time she'll find a space that works for her. To me, at her wedding, which was something she was more in control of, she looked more comfortable than at most of the other events we've seen her at.

"but it was only ever Camila"

That's not the case. But the '3 of us in his marriage" was such a catchy line that the others were effectively airbrushed out. One occasionally still gets mentioned, but that's abiut it.

Edith Kanga Tryon?

a friend of Meghans (probably sanctioned by Meghan) was talking to the press yesterday and said her Dad was never ill. He allegedly used the “heart problem” as a way to garner sympathy after the staged photo debacle. He sounds like a shit father if that’s the case and yes, abusive. Everything they’ve discussed in private has been leaked by him, to the press. Why should she trust him at all?

Whoever said that Meghan and Harry have only known each other a matter of months is wrong (can't remember the usrname)

Giving my opinion on a thread inviting opinions Wallis. What's wrong with you?

Ahhhh. This would make sense. But he was very calm and detailed in his GB interview about going to one hospital, being stabilised and releasing himself prematurely, then having to go to a different hospital, having a stent put in through his groin.....If untrue he would be an absolutely pathological and devious liar in scary proportions and under those circumstances I wouldn't blame her for dumping him.

But I thought Samantha backed up the story?

It would explain his persistence in trying to contact her through the press too. Guilty conscience.
