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.

So. She is on maternity leave, she had a very small baby but her flying private visit to Wimbledon should be taken up with “browsing other matches” not watching her friend.

BertrandRussell · 01/08/2019 20:24

And in the meantime, the Cambridges are apparently holidaying in a villa on Mustique- £27,000 a week,

ShirleyPhallus · 01/08/2019 20:29

Oh yes. The small baby.

Apparently suspiciously small in some photos compared to others therefore confirming beyond all certainty that they’ve starved him for attention or lied about the dates or something. For attention.

Keeping up with the Joneses.... Grin, still cheaper. Having said that, at least M&H didn't do a long haul flight.

Hang on- I thought he was suspiciously big.......

lyralalala · 01/08/2019 20:47

How come it's ok for the Cambridge's to be mates with Federer (to the point he's given George a couple of lessons) and watch him regular at Wimbledon, but Meghan watching Serena Williams is an issue?

SamanthaBrique · 01/08/2019 21:24

Meghan was even criticised for applauding Serena too vigorously at the Wimbledon final! Yet the next day, when the Cambridges were quite clearly supporting Federer over Djokovic, nothing was said. Funny that...

Sittingonthedock8 · 01/08/2019 21:26

The only matches MM has watched at Wimbledon have been Serena's . Nothing wrong with watching her friend, but that is the only time she turns up.

TSSDNCOP · 01/08/2019 21:32

So...?

SamanthaBrique · 01/08/2019 21:32

Maybe she isn't a huge tennis fan but likes to watch her friend play? It's Kate who's the patron of the AELTC and therefore has a duty to support up and coming players, not Meghan.

Rachelover40 · 01/08/2019 21:39

lyralalala, I've never heard anyone say anything negative about Meghan's friendship with and support of Serena Williams. On what grounds would anyone criticise?

All the royals have friends in many walks of life, some of whom are later found out to be dodgy! At least no-one can say that there's anything dodgy about Federer and Serena Williams (yet).

SamanthaBrique · 01/08/2019 21:43

Yes, well just look at uncle Andy's dodgy friends. In fact, that's the royal story the press should be after. Not what blanket Meghan uses!

LaurieMarlow · 01/08/2019 21:43

To be fair, Kate did do this.

Every single time she went to Wimbledon?

And you think Federer is hot?

Yes Blush

Encyclo · 01/08/2019 21:49

I forgot about the Portland steps moaning. If anything, Kate
Cambridge’s superhuman appearances on the hospital steps mere hours after giving birth, in flimsy dresses created a ridiculous expectation for those coming after her.

I’m delighted Meghan has bucked that trend.

shieldmaidenofrohan · 01/08/2019 21:58

@lauriemarlow

Federer is hot... scorching 😍

derxa · 01/08/2019 22:03

There's no hope for you Grin

“The only matches MM has watched at Wimbledon have been Serena's
. Nothing wrong with watching her friend, but that is the only time she turns up”

She doesn’t go to The Ashes either. Is that going to be the next bizarre criticism? “In latest attentions seeking faux pas, Meghan does not go to Lords”

Sarcelle · 01/08/2019 22:34

There is a good article about why the tide of opinion has turned against Hal and Meghan on Spiked Online.com called "Meghan, the Worse Kind of Snob" - this articulates everything I think. I have tried to post a link several times but it's just not happening.

(How do you post a link when you are on the app???)

derxa · 01/08/2019 22:38

Good old Princess Anne supports the Scottish rugby team through thick and thin and there's been plenty of thin. I love her for it.

BertrandRussell · 01/08/2019 22:42

Meghan Markle is the worst kind of anob

Sittingonthedock8 · 01/08/2019 22:46

I think I’d one of the other Royals made a point of only watching one particular player at Wimbledon because they were a particular friend but didn’t support any other players, it would be seen as odd and not very sporting.

SamanthaBrique · 01/08/2019 22:48

It's Spiked though, and the author of that piece is a noted anti-feminist who thinks #metoo is women playing the victim Hmm

BertrandRussell · 01/08/2019 22:48

I wish I hadn’t linked to that article now i’ve read it. Exactly the same inaccurate bollocks about the baby shower, the dresses, the house refurb, the Vogue cover that have been repeated a million times before.

LaurieMarlow · 01/08/2019 22:55

I think I’d one of the other Royals made a point of only watching one particular player at Wimbledon because they were a particular friend but didn’t support any other players

But she’s only been what, twice?

And Serena is the dominant figure in the woman’s game.

You might have a point if the person she was supporting was ranked 187 in the world.

LaurieMarlow · 01/08/2019 22:58

Ok so the baby shower.

What exactly was the issue with that again?

Do people think the rest of the royal family are strangers to any of the following?

Private jets (lol)
Famous friends
Presents
Fancy hotels
