To start a positive thread about MM?

[boraboring]

I really like her. I'm starting a positive thread about her, as I can't stand seeing her (or any celebs) torn apart for the most minuscule of things...

So what do we like about MM?

I think she's ace. I'm mixed race - the way she speaks so eloquently about growing up as a'biracial' woman speaks to me. She's so articulate. I also like how involved she is with the homeless community. My brother was homeless for a while and it was through charity and kindness that he found his feet.

Anyone else think she seems quite lovely?

Also, weird pointless vitriol against progressive public figures makes sense given how much activity on anonymous 'social' media accounts is probably activity by the Russians designed to destabilise our institutions.

I think it's pretty bloody awful to suggest any criticism of her is racist.
I commented on the bump cradling thread, but I still think she's bloody gorgeous.

but what else can it be? It's obviously jealousy too, but apart from that she has done absolutely nothing to deserve the amount of abuse she gets.

I actually love her to bits. I like how she is not conforming, she is gorgeous, she is an independent woman who formed a successful career, she is feisty, she is cute, she is funny, and she is talented.

And she makes our WONDERFUL and gorgeous ginger prince Harry happy.

It might be jealously, sometimes it's nothing other than a bit of bitchiness triggered by an irrational feeling of annoyance at a particular behaviour/affectation or whatever.
Most of us are guilty of that at one time or another.

I don't know much about her but she seems very nice from what I can see. A very pretty lady, looked lovely on her wedding day, seems very friendly to everyone and Harry seems very much in love with her.

Nothing to do with race, I don't like her because she seems to contradict herself every time she opens her mouth or typed anything:

1 In the engagement interview monologue she said she really didn't know anything about him or his family. Now, I could have believed this if she'd lived on the moon, rather than Canada or North America, one has the queen as a figurehead and the other one seems to wish it did.

2 In VF she said that her Dad made her into the secure biracial women she is by telling her to create her own identity, that he would come over and have dinner with her and her Mum, he bought 2 sets of Barbies to make her own family and so on. Yet that statement before the wedding made it sound like she'd never met him. There was also Harry's radio gaffe that first Xmas, where he said his family, were like the family she never had. I know he said it and not her, but it made me think she must have said something similar to him indoors to prompt him to say it publically.

3 As a supposed feminist divorcee, she seemed more than happy to climb into virginal Disney princess rigout and claim all her status from a man. I'd have had more respect, if she'd have worn something equally beautiful, but not so cliched.

4 Turning up at events like the Fashion Awards and still behaving like a 'sleb', when she knows the media will make it all about her and not the woman being honoured. (Again, not very feminist)

Positive thread about MM
The clue is in the title.

I was answering those who say that people don't like her because of her race, Carrie.

@Just I agree. It is beyond annoying that it is not allowed for anyone to have an opinion that isn't glowing and positive or they will be branded 'racist'.
I would add that irritation with her 'look at me , look at me, LOOK AT ME' behaviour in nearly every situation is grating in the extreme. She doesn't seem to understand that she's part of an institution now, paid for by the public, and self promotion is inappropriate .

I get what you mean certainly, she doesn't seem to have grasp that she has effectively married a public servant, rather than a Getty or similar. The cost of her clothes is obscene too, for a relatively minor RF member, which is what they will become increasingly, as the Cambridge brood grows up.

I like her and I LOVE Daria, if MM ages like her mum she will be easily the most regal member of the royal family one day.

I am not a royalist - quite the opposite, but the outrageous veiled racism about MM really disgusts me.

She seems perfectly nice, has been successful in her own right, speaks well in public and is much more interesting than Kate who is a fembot as far as I can tell.

I know nothing personally about MM. I do love her looks. I like that she had a career before marrying a prince. She and her mother seem to be close. I do believe the hate given to this woman is a lot of racist bullshit.

I have seen absolutely nothing of the sort. Yes, all eyes are on her, the way they are on Kate, the Queen, Princess Anne and even Zara - because people are craving celebrities. I have only seen Meghan behaving impeccably. Unless you mean that she should use her pregnancy as an excuse to disappear from the public eye? but then she would be abused for being lazy.
The woman cannot win.

She got married in 2018 - no one is linking the wedding gown to virginity any more, how utterly ridiculous. Brides nowadays wear white because they want to.

Wasn't the tradition of the white wedding gown started by queen Victoria? I didn't think it had anything to do with virginity.

Prior to Queen Victoria wedding dresses were any colour.

true, but most people seem to assimilate white with the notion of purity and innocence (and virginity). Obviously everything that describes a modern bride nowadays, especially when her children are flower girl or ring bearer

Meghan still got criticised for her choice, of course.

Dammit I was hoping for a Marilyn Manson thread. Sadtiemz.

People did react as though she'd somehow violated a centuries old tradition by wearing white.

Meghan is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, she is absolutely stunning.
I think men people dislike her because she is biracial, beautiful, an outspoken feminist.

Also if you were a white supremacist then it's almost as if Meg has "cheated" in life, if you have grown up with the idea that white power is superior and suddenly a biracial women comes along and nabs a white prince, it flys in the face of everything you have ever believed, and people don't seem to like their ideas being challenged

I loved her wedding dress, I think she glows in white. Who cares if it was 'virginal Disney princess rigout 'in fact what a stupid thing to say.what
Saying that she spends excessive money on clothes might be a legitimate criticism (if it's true) though I did see her wearing an M&S outfit on one ocassion so hopefully she balances out the more expensive outfits.

I care because she made the whole speel about how empowered and feminist she is and then she bowed to patriarchal convention
