Can't we all just leave Meghan Markle alone?

FFS. Today I've read about how she made Kate Middleton cry over Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress (it read to me like she was a mother who got emotional seeing her daughter all dressed up for a big occasion, imo) which multiple tabloids ran with, then how her and Prince Harry are awful because they skipped Princess Eugenie's wedding reception, how she's caused a wedge between Prince Harry and Prince William and how Kate Middleton dislikes her and living in the same place has caused friction. I mean, these are tabloids reporting this stuff but give the woman a break! She's pregnant and settling in to get to know her husband's family, I feel quite sorry for her.

As usual with tabloids a woman is always wrong. Especially if she is either foreign or successful, or God forbid has a mind of her own.

YANBU in the least.

Another thread on this? HQ don't we have a Royal topic?

You feel sorry for her? I feel sorry for the Grenfell survivors who've been moved onto UC and are now facing a holiday season with no money.

I thought all the Grenfell tenants had been offered both money and alternative accommodation now?

Getting rather boring these threads Hmm

MarvinMarvinson · 28/11/2018 23:30

There are way more threads on here imploring people to leave her alone than there are threads slagging her off - so you're preaching in the wrong place. Might I suggest not reading tabloids? I haven't seen one story slating her and I read the news every day - just not tabloids.

I agree with your sentiment, but the number of threads about her on here is annoying.

AdoraBell · 28/11/2018 23:33

Also, she gets ripped to shreds in the US too. I saw something on YouTube, one of the American chat shows and a guest was asked what they thought of a mixed race woman marrying into the Royal family. The response was - she fits right in with these other white women, the screen showed about 9 famous white women plus Meghan’s face.

She can’t win. Here people, some, talk about her being black and in her home country she gets criticised for being white.

But they keep getting deleted - the fashion one seems to have disappeared.

I do feel sorry for her dontalltalkatonce, I also feel sorry for the Grenfell survivors (no matter what their most recent circumstances are). They aren't mutually exclusive. I can feel sorry for my friend who got dumped whilst also caring about victims of knife crime, it's an amazing talent I have.

I don't read tabloids, just see headlines when I go to the shops and from that alone think it's excessive. I haven't seen a thread about her recently but don't often look for them either.

You have literally just spread that gossip about her though - you've brought those stories to the attention of people who may have had no idea about them. Not much point ringing your hands over it while simultaneously spreading the stories even more far and wide.
