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.

On a completely side issue- surely the son of the future king isn’t exactly a minor royal?

“Yes but she encourages positive body image so all her other very unsavoury rants must be irrelevant ”

Not at all. And not what I said.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 31/07/2019 19:20

The fact is Meghan has hit a desired jackpot and is as calculating as is reported - yes some of us know this for a fact

Would you care to expand?

In the royal box at Wimbledon, best seats in the house, watched by millions across the world but MM said she was there in a "private capacity" haha priceless.

BertrandRussell · 31/07/2019 19:30

She wasn’t in the royal box.

SamanthaBrique · 31/07/2019 19:42

I would love Jamal to come face to face with Beyonce and explain her 'stripper' comments.

Given she's apologised several times and continues to do so, I don't think she'd have a problem with it.

And why does the idea that Meghan was in the royal box persist? She was in the members enclosure!

separatelives · 31/07/2019 19:52

She WAS in the royal box.

BertrandRussell · 31/07/2019 19:55

“She WAS in the royal box.”

She was in the royal box when she went with the DofC. When she went with her friends to watch Serena she was in the Members Enclosure.

SamanthaBrique · 31/07/2019 19:56

@separatelives when she went with Kate and Pippa she was in the royal box. When she went with her friends she was in the members enclosure.

worriedformyfriend1 · 31/07/2019 19:57

The DM are absolute scum. They stole my MN post yesterday. Lazy journalism and trash articles. Maybe MM isn't very nice but how the hell would they know?

ssd · 31/07/2019 19:58

Who bloody cares where she sat? She got the seats cos she married Harry. But even if she hadn't she was a famous actress so she might have got them off her own back anyway. Unlike Kate, who wouldn't have got them if she hadn't married William.
Such is life. Marry a man with money and doors will open to you that were previously shut. Or stick in at school and earn it yourself.

TSSDNCOP · 31/07/2019 20:08

I wonder exactly how many people in the Royal Box paid for their tickets? Then again, I had centre court tickets last year that were corporate freebs. Why would you say no?

Monestasi · 31/07/2019 20:16

Do enlighten us, you don't sound racist at all.

I rest my case.

Nobody dare share an alternative view of Meghan Marke and what they actually know of her.

Immediately shouted down as a racist.

BertrandRussell · 31/07/2019 20:17

“Who bloody cares where she sat?”

Well, you did a couple of posts ago ! Grin

Would anyone dare on the alter of Meghan Marke worship.

Extraordinary twattery on any thread about this woman.

Anyone who claims to know anything is literally shouted down and called a racist.

I don’t see this on any other claim threads.

I passed some time before a flight... But fucking hell, the defence of this woman (I’ve seen several threads before now) is a remarkable example of idiocy.

LaurieMarlow · 31/07/2019 20:28

Well you say defence, but I’ve never seen anything she’s actually done wrong that ...

Hasn’t turned out to be total horseshit on examination

Or

Is totally in line with what the RF does normally and doesn’t raise an eyebrow when someone else does it.

mrscampbellblackagain · 31/07/2019 20:36

If I were the Queen the thing I would really worry about is just how much MM has high lighted what a waste of money the RF are.

I know everyone spouts about tourism but I wonder if that is more a historical thing.

I mean of all the people posting on here, who would stand in the streets to watch any of the current RF drive by? Would any of you curtsey to them? I know I wouldn't.

I like to see what they wear but that's it really.

I really do think their time is up.

And Vogue is shit since Mr Enniful took over - and I speak as a very long time subscriber.

mrscampbellblackagain · 31/07/2019 20:37

And as for Prince Harry's off the cuff reply to Jane Goodall - how much media training has he had? Which just confirms my belief that MM married down Wink

derxa · 31/07/2019 20:37

I suspect that Meghan wouldn't give the shit off her shoe to any of you fervent defenders.

TSSDNCOP · 31/07/2019 20:38

They don’t know anything. Everything they know is copied from Twatter or the Fail which is currently running and article that says “Now Meghan is teaching us how to breathe”.
