This is there top story. Meghan is using a cheap shawl & DM have found the factory it was made in.

She’s been criticised non stop for her spending, uses something cheap and the DM visit the sweatshop it was made in! I’m sorry but we are all guilty of this, very few people I’m sure track down where everything they buy is made and how much the staff are paid.

It’s just getting ridiculous how they’ll find literally anything to criticise.

If the DM want to expose sweat shops (something they care little about usually) they have the resources and man power to do so but they don’t give a shit they just want to go after Meghan.

I know it's appalling. There's also a hateful piece by Piers Morgan on the Vogue thing that someone on my facebook linked to. They are utter dicks to her.

Stop looking at the daily mail and you will feel much better.

I only saw it from being on Twitter lol but yeah it’s absolute trash, shame half the papers seem to have a pay wall behind them 😬

Surely we have reached peak Meghan now. Who cares about any of this?

ShirleyPhallus · 30/07/2019 12:39

They’re a hateful shitbag of a publication

They had an article the other day about how locals have expressly been told not to speak to Meghan and Harry and all the frothing from the locals and “anonymous sources”.

Then halfway down they had an official quote from the palace saying that no such notice had been granted and so the whole story was basically made up

Didn’t stop all the hateful comments though

I really feel for her. She can literally do no right, it must be horrible to be constantly criticised about absolutely everything

ssd · 30/07/2019 12:41

MM must be doing something right if the daily mail hate her

LaurieMarlow · 30/07/2019 12:42

True dat

Jangirl2018 · 30/07/2019 12:42

It’s disgusting but not surprising. This publication and Piers Morgan take any available morsel of an opportunity to drag her through the gutter. No wonder the public perception of her is so hostile. A certified hate campaign. It is truly nasty and inhumane.

IAskTooManyQuestions · 30/07/2019 12:43

The papers systematically go through the Royals looking to slag them off ....they did it to Margaret, Diana, Sarah, Sophie, Anne, Zara, Kate, both the York girls, its Meghans turn ... until the next poor sod comes of age or marries in.

Hithere12 · 30/07/2019 12:44

I love how they fawn over “thrifty Kate” if she wears a cheap H&M dress, as if H&M don’t use sweatshops 🙄

Piers Morgan is bitter because they had drinks once and he thought they'd be besties forever. I don't click DM links and I refuse to engage with anything to do with Piers. The whole thing is unbelievable.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 30/07/2019 12:46

And yet you all seem to be reading it, so obviously they are doing something right to attract readers...

Like it or not there is a reason they have the biggest newspaper readership in print and online....

Hithere12 · 30/07/2019 12:46

IAskTooManyQuestions

When has Kate ever been criticised for using something cheap and the DM have tracked down the sweat shop it was made in? No she’s been fawned over as “thrifty Kate”.

They were all criticised yes but this is different, they are literally finding anything to criticise her for.

YANBU. It's a fucking disgrace.

However, having said that, I do wonder what Meghan is doing for the regular women of Britain. I think some criticism is warranted.

Hithere12 · 30/07/2019 12:47

As I’ve already said I was linked it on Twitter, but yes it is the largest paper which makes it all the more worrying.

yes, And you read it.

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 30/07/2019 12:49

And yet any man who marries into the Royal family (Mike Tindall, Jack whatsisname) gets nary a mention. Misogynistic deal not even fit to wipe my a* on.

BlingLoving · 30/07/2019 12:49

Nope, I don't read it. I don't click on DM links. I don't follow Piers on Twitter etc etc. But I certainly hear enough about what they write from reading on here and other social media.

pepperpot99 · 30/07/2019 12:49

YANBU. Utter wankers they are, the DM. As for Piers Morgan, he's a sad little scrote who is eaten up with envy and probably racism too. I know someone who dated him way way back in the 80s and she couldn't dump him fast enough. Apparently he'd covered the walls of his flat with photographs of himself. Narcissism up close Hmm.

Encyclo · 30/07/2019 12:50

I couldn’t believe that article. They actually sent someone to the sweatshop to “investigate”

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 30/07/2019 12:50

Misogynistic crap that was meant to say

MyFokMarelize · 30/07/2019 12:51

So much easier for the ferociously pro-Brexit Daily Mail to attack MM than have headlines about the plunging pound or our plummeting status on the international stage due to having elected Trump MkII.
It's a shitty rag read by even shittier people and I'm happy to say it's been over 3 years since I clicked a DM link! I feel so much better for it.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 30/07/2019 12:52

But I certainly hear enough about what they write from reading on here and other social media.

So you have never actually read it but have formed an opinion based on what other people tell you?

...Smart....

...And yes, I'm playing devil advocate....

I remember them targeting P Diana. Close up enlargement pics of the 'cellulite' on her thighs as she went to the gym (where trainer secretly filmed her btw).
Not sure what anyone can do exceptNEVER go on DM website

Are you a troll? It’s the largest newspaper in the country so talking about it is important. Just sticking your fingers in your ears saying “la la la” pretending it doesn’t exist isn’t going to help anything.
