Prince Harry saying "we can all do better" has really irked me- aibu?! He has every want and need satisfied while the majority of us and trying to do right by the environment whilst making ends meet. He is becoming very sanctimonious!

Is she expected to completely isolate herself from her American friends and connections?

“Be more specific”

My irony meter just exploded.

Oh very droll. Annoyingly, I 🤣.

BertrandRussell · 12/09/2019 12:42

@NoTheresa- glad to give you a laugh! I hope you noticed that I did link to details...

roisinagusniamh · 12/09/2019 13:57

Bert you are over invested in a complete stranger who has married into a very famous family. You are giving me a laugh too, the way you jump to Meghan's defence at every negative comment.
As if she'd give one thought to you if she met you!

Some people on here do seem a bit weirdly over-invested in their adoration of the DoS. Perhaps these are the people she feels the need to avoid by flying on a private plane.

Just a thought.

LaurieMarlow · 12/09/2019 14:17

Why is it over invested to defend her, but definitely not over invested to criticise her every action.

🤔

LaurieMarlow · 12/09/2019 14:18

As if she'd give one thought to you if she met you!

That’s missing the point entirely. There’s no personal relationship. It’s about pointing out double standards being applied.

Armi · 12/09/2019 14:21

I don’t criticise her every action, LaurieMarlow. Calm down.

LaurieMarlow · 12/09/2019 14:23

And neither does Bertrand ‘adore’ her, so calm down yourself love.

Armi · 12/09/2019 14:28

See what I mean? I didn’t mention anyone by name in my original post.

It’s peculiar behaviour, when you sit and read the thread through. Odd. Anyway - carry on. It was just an observation.

Pitterpatterpettysteps · 12/09/2019 14:28

Some people just have an irritating manner. Based on her mannerisms and behaviour in interviews, MM comes across to me as contrived, fake and self-obsessed. She reminds me of similar people I've known and disliked. Of course, she may well be perfectly lovely in reality, who knows? But we often form these sorts of judgments about celebrities.

A lot of people seem to have a similar response to MM and in most cases I really don't think her race, job or nationality have anything to do with it.

BertrandRussell · 12/09/2019 14:29

I am indifferent to her and I want the royal family to be abolished. I think she is being unfairly treated, and the standards applied to her are completely different to the standards applied to other members of the royal family. I hate seeing the great British press and public tearing someone down for no good reason, and the good things she is trying to do be trashed.

LaurieMarlow · 12/09/2019 14:32

Coming on here and talking about how ‘over invested’ people are is just a technique to try to silence them.

It’s an Internet forum ffs, we all should have better things to do with our time. But we get sucked in.

Either argue with the points being made or move on.

IrmaFayLear · 12/09/2019 14:39

Nah, you pop up on every thread relentlessly defending her. I don't doubt you have a full set of commemorative Sussex royal wedding china displayed in a cabinet.

I remember on Gogglebox - Stephen from Brighton observing when they showed the engagement interview, "I've gone right off her." I think he said she was "pushy". That was yonks ago, when most of us thought it was an exciting and glamorous match.

No need to pay US PR people a small fortune. I think we could all tell the pair for nothing that the best way forward is smile, wave and say nothing.

SamanthaBrique · 12/09/2019 14:47

Well if Stephen from Brighton thought that...🙄

BertrandRussell · 12/09/2019 14:53

“Nah, you pop up on every thread relentlessly defending her.”
And you pop up in every thread defaming her!

ScreamingLadySutch · 12/09/2019 14:59

Was talking to a clinical psychologist.
I was saying 'this is not going to end well'

He said: Harry is very troubled Shock and no, it is not going to end well.

IMO:
that it all happened so fast is not a good sign.
He ignored his brothers concerns
He has isolated himself from his friends and support group.
He is on some huge health mission.
He is on a huge change the world mission.
It all seems 'with this person I will be a new me and find happiness' (poor chap)

When he rebels/collapses it will be a big one.

SamanthaBrique · 12/09/2019 15:07

I take it said psych knows Harry?

IrmaFayLear · 12/09/2019 15:11

And you pop up in every thread defaming her!

As you would say, evidence please! I certainly have never "defamed" Meghan. I think some people's comments are well out of order - she's not that bad! I do think, however, that M+H have made some mistakes and the biggest is the "save the planet" hypocrisy which gets on everyone's nerves (except a couple of posters on MN).

LaurieMarlow · 12/09/2019 15:17

I will never ceased to be amazed at how confidently people assess the relationships of people they don’t know

LaurieMarlow · 12/09/2019 15:21

Which is mostly Harry. In fairness. Yet Meghan’s always brought into it.
