Meghan Markle taking Mail On Sunday to Court *MNHQ tweaked title for accuracy*

[TheMustressMhor]

And about time, too. They never stop castigating her.

Prince Harry has said that he's worried that she'll end up being the same kind of victim that his mother was with regard to the Press.

I hope she wins her case.

Hating on? On?

What's a PBP?

Come on, you know full well that simply is not true - but you’ve made your hatred of Meghan clear, and are obviously determined to cast her every action in the worst possible light and disbelieve anything she says.

I don't hate Meghan Markle. If you get that so fundamentally wrong, then the rest of your conjecture is just as useless.

As for the PP who suggested I read a blog, I don't read blogs. I also don't read UK tabloids.

I have an image of some posters surrounded by Royal memorabilia and cut out pictures from gossip magazines

Shudder

@LaMarschallin

Except the bots and the bot army, presumably?

👏🏻

Tatiana, I can never understand why or how a professional driver would drink on duty. That always seemed odd to me. On his day off, yes but not when on call.

Wasn’t it said that Henri Paul was called in to drive on his day off?

@NoTheresa If you had read that poster's nastiness towards me that verged on unhinged, you wouldn't say that. The tone itself toward me actually had me sitting there stunned (you know weird prickly heat shock thing you feel that goes from your head to your stomach when you have someone really rips into you?) It came absolutely out of no where. I have since had PMs from 2 other posters about that particular poster so it seems their aggression and abuse is not so isolated, so it can't be explained away by a caught her on a bad day rationale either. We will simply have to agree to disagree.

joyfullittlehippo I really do admire your mastery of those terms. Its a little bit much for me to take in (I am a bot after all) so I sort of skim read it, but its clearly something you have studied in some detail and been able to classify and categorise.

I rather like being called a bot, and the notion of a bot's army. My username is actually incredibly accurate. I jest not. Its really best not to take these things too seriously and start being nasty to people because they have an opinion on the RF that diverges from your own. I honestly am pretty disgusted at the way MM treated her father being played out on the public stage, and I speak as someone who had to cope with a pretty awful father and still managed to keep a minimum of civil contact. For one thing, its an awful lot easier on yourself psychologically when they die.

shrug. I have no reason to lie. I'm not that invested in the BRF. I am not in the UK, am not British, and lived in LA for a few years (hate the city).

You seem to have spent considerable time reading and believing tabloid cack on the RF or someone who’s not ‘that invested’ in them.

Thanks for the explanation on PBP.

You have no idea what has happened in the relationship though, only what you've been fed by the press/gossip columns!
You don't always blindly swallow everything you read, do you?
For someone who says you haven't had a good relationship either, you think you'd have a bit of empathy if someone else might not have one either...

The way some posters are speaking to and responding to others is quite ironic given the subject of the thread.

Regardless of opinions, some people really don't know how to communicate effectively without name-calling, personal comments etc. Not really great debate ...

Wouldn’t people have admired her if she had treated her father well despite what he is said to have done? It wouldn’t have been easy but she would have garnered a huge amount of support and goodwill. Whereas of course, her decision to cut him out so harshly was probably quite widely deplored.

Wotcha You don't always blindly swallow everything you read, do you?

Wow, no, part of my role was literally to check qualifications and spot frauds by looking for the usual signs.

It really is permitted to say you don't like it. It just doesn't add up for me. Like she was looking for an excuse to drop him. I dislike people who are ashamed of their roots. All that talk about "kindness" at the wedding too. Horrible.

As for me, MM had way more contact with and assistance from her father than I could ever have dreamed of. Obviously people are entitled to deal with things in different ways but its horrible to see it played out in public, as I said before, the man is still a human being and he is clearly distressed by it all. It could and should have been handled much better, especially considering the budget for PR firms that they have.

Get rid of the Royal Family and their privileged and the press will no longer be interested.

You have absolutely no idea if that’s what’s going on here.

Wouldn’t people have admired her if she had treated her father well despite what he is said to have done?
How do you know she didn't attempt to treat him well? You are making assumptions she hasn't. On this site, there are numerous examples of parents who abusive, toxic, narcissistic and the child is a lot better off mentally and emotionally cutting them from their lives. Just have a look for the Stately Homes thread on here. It details the damage these parents can do, and how many are advised by counsellors to go No Contact. Considering Meghan wrote that letter, she clearly attempted to give it one last try. Sometimes, it's good to give it one last try, then say goodbye and cut the person out of your life for good. Clearly Meghan has gone through a lot with him that we will probably never know about, and no one has the right to judge her for protecting herself and cutting him off.

You have absolutely no idea if that’s what’s going on here.

That poster has no idea about any of it.

Of course she believes she does as she read it in Take a Break.

There was a thing a while back showing that just 20 people were responsible for hundreds of anti-Meghan Twitter accounts.

I don't have the context to interpret that, so I can't. That might be 25 twitter accounts per person which is weird, but probably not dissimilar to most other major celebrities?

I've no doubt it's not very easy being a public figure - equally, I've no doubt that that the super-rich or elite or ruling class or whatever you'd like to call them owe quite a bit to the machinery of Hollywood/social media/paparazzi/fast fashion/Made in Chelsea/instagram influencers/etc and they're just going to have to deal with the fallout.

Are the Sussexes part of this? Arguably, yes.

Wouldn’t people have admired her if she had treated her father well despite what he is said to have done? It wouldn’t have been easy but she would have garnered a huge amount of support and goodwill

But who knows what actually went on. And we also have to factor in the shit stirring presence of Samantha.

Are ppl saying that she should have forgiven him regardless of anything that he did/said to her?

Because good lord that’s so far away from the advice that’s usually doled out on here for difficult family members.
