The absolute state of the Daily Mail (re Meghan Markle)

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.

“Bert
What do you think she should be doing?

Helping women and children affected by DV - which seems to be a major problem in the UK - by establishing, supporting and promoting outreach programmes and housing projects.”
Oh yes. Like all the other members of the royal family!

For about the millionth time they don't 'live off' the state. For a start Meghan brought her own nest-egg to the marriage (a few £million), Harry receives an income from Diana's estate and his royal duties are paid out of the Duchy of Cornwall income. Or something like that.

Indeed it is amazing. So much self-righteousness but which is just giving the DM the publicity it needs and seeks

I take it you one of the nutters who comment on every story about her on the daily fail.

Well said, OP. I thought it couldn’t get any worse, but today the blanket story, ffs. It’s the comments that get me, thousands and thousands of pure nasty, offensive comments. You can report on social media and it can escalate to legal action- yet the Daily Fail seems to skirt the rules by adding in one or two moderated stories, yet free for all lunatics to comment on Meghan.

Except the rest of the RF don't claim to be feminists.

She talks the talk, but does she walk the walk?

She was able to do an editorial, why not use that time to lay down the groundwork for initiatives that help women and children in the UK and commonwealth?

It will be interesting to see what she does when she’s back from maternity leave.

Meghan is always going to have a bit of a problem with negative attitude from Piers Morgan because of the way she allegedly simply dropped him once she knew was on the final straight to becoming a member of the British royal family.

All chummy apparently when she came to his attention whilst climbing the greasy pole of stardom. Then when her new status was on the horizon instead of doing the polite & decent thing by having a face to face "look I have no choice in this matter.... blah blah blah etc" with possibly a few tears thrown in for sympathy she just ghosted him.

Manners cost nothing, her lack of manners is costing her in negative publicity and she isn't the shy retiring type so it's going to be a thorn in her side of her own making.

She seems to have no problem with maintaining contact with the US media "friends".

I don't have a problem with her, although I was stunned at the Vogue women thing, not sure I'm inspired by many of her choices. She gives me the impression of a shallow individual trying to create the impression of being someone with deep feelings and thoughts so that people love and admire her, which is itself a shallow pursuit.

I feel so sorry for her and I don’t even really know why. Harry, out of all the modern Royals, has arguably suffered for the birth right the most and this constant barrage of abuse from the media is unbelievable. She’s only been a Royal for a little over a year and has been on maternity leave for the last few months of it. She’s still learning what her actual role is and I don’t blame either of them for being fiercely protective of theirs and their son’s privacy, given the circumstances.

Oh ffs. They spoke a few times on Twitter and met once. Morgan is like an insane spurned stalker at this point.

“I don't have a problem with her, ”

But you take Piers Morgan’s word about her as gospel. Fair enough!

Albert MM has been able to do a Vogue editorial during her mat leave, let's wait and see what she does when back from mat leave.

Piers Morgan is a knob.

I’m not absolutely sure I know what the royals’ surname is.

It's Mountbatten-Windsor, but this wouldn't be used as a surname by the dukes and duchesses - they style themselves Cambridge (W&K) Sussex (H&M) - and Prince Charles would use 'Wales' in place of a surname. So the DofS should be 'Meghan Sussex' if her married name is being used.

This!

And Gayle King is a media powerhouse who, by all accounts, Meghan trusts. So that’s a logical person to give limited access to for US coverage, seeing as Meghan is actually American. It’s not different to Diana and Charles giving access to Angela Rippon.

*no not not!

They really hate her and it is total harassment at this stage but when you read the comments the readers hate her too. Dailymail is about making money and this type of rubbish makes them money. I can imagine the journalist travelling all the way to India to visit a sweatshop though and the idea being flouted in the pressroom. its mad stuff.

Can't believe people are actually taking Piers Morgan's side. I'm sure if she'd 'snubbed' a woman celeb or indeed a man who wasn't a complete twat, it wouldn't have made a ripple.

Its really horrible to see how she is targeted for being black, a woman and American.
THIS is what implicit racism is all about btw. Getting attacked for doing things that white people have done but dont get criticised for.
Really shameful.

I hope Meghan has either very high self esteem and or strong mental health to deal with the constant criticism she receives.

"Manners cost nothing, her lack of manners is costing her in negative publicity and she isn't the shy retiring type so it's going to be a thorn in her side of her own making."

This is hilarious and really quite sad. Piers Morgan write absolute shit about her and you talk about HER manners??? !!!!

Well they couldn't win really could they
If it cost 2 million. There would have rightly been an outcry from tax payers.
If cheap shawls are good enough for mine. Then I'm sorry but it's good enough for theirs, too.
Also what a fab world we live in. When that's all that going on.

Why is only Meghan getting mentioned. He does have a father as well.

Used to really like DM but has gone downhill massively IMO. Dont know why ,but they seem to have morphed from a fairly interesting Mid market newspaper into some sort of lurid Red Top!.

My heart really went out to Meghan when she supposedly said ‘they don’t make it easy’ to Pharrell Williams at the lion king premiere. They bloody don’t! The DM is running what is tantamount to a harassment campaign, it’s appalling. Also I’m pretty sure I read that M+H used the same kind of shawl as Kate and William? Have just checked and yes it’s the same company. www.countryliving.com/uk/news/a27428285/meghan-harry-baby-shawl-g-h-hurt-and-son/

Anyone that Morgan hates, I'm quite happy to love. Revolting little man. I really don't understand why anyone, least of all him, would think that his opinion mattered on anything - or anyone.
