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.

Good God another bitchfest how nice
Thick waist my arse, get your eyes sorted

So what was Thomas Markle doing work wise from the time Meghan was 17 all through Uni for him to have funded all this?
He was not doing the cinematography work or anything from 1997 according to his IMDB page. How did he afford to pay for all these university fees?

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 02/10/2019 21:56

It's not eyes I'm worried about as much, it's the heads and mindsets of others that get me more lol

You need help Winterlife, for real

Oh do simmer down.🙄

NoTheresa · 02/10/2019 21:57

Her father won the lottery! Yes really!!

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 02/10/2019 21:57

Poster had a point though, NoTheresa....

He won several hundred thousand in the state lottery when she was a child which apparently paid for all her education.

Apparently he paid for her fees with a lottery win. Seriously

ThebishopofBanterbury · 02/10/2019 21:58

Oh sod off all the bots, trolls and racists on this thread. Funny how many of you claim not to read tabloids, but where else could you have got the "stories" you refer to from? Piss off and stop ruining forums with your vitriol and spite. Most of all get a life then maybe you won't have time to trawl the internet for rubbish and regurgitate it back here.

Pitterpatterpettysteps · 02/10/2019 21:59

MM does seem to have had a lot of lucky breaks in her life. Perhaps this makes it harder to handle when things don’t go her way?

angell84 · 02/10/2019 22:00

I do think that there is alot of racism directed at Meghan.

Is Archie white enough for these people, or will he also get it?

LaurieMarlow · 02/10/2019 22:00

She certainly lurves the camera

Well she was an actress. It comes in useful.

But I see this more from how she seeks, and finds, the camera in virtually every photo taken of her.

This is the kind of thing actresses are trained in. It’s not a sign of narcissism, no. But you know that (unless you’re totally batshit).

Reading over the comments joy posted again, what strikes me is how desperately jealous you sound. I don’t think that’s necessarily true of all the Meghan bashers, but it comes across clearly with you.

NoTheresa · 02/10/2019 22:01

The BBC had the information about the lottery win. It is not a secret. 🙄🙄

LaurieMarlow · 02/10/2019 22:02

For those claiming not to read tabloids, I don’t see a lot of coverage of Meghan in the FT, for example.

Juss sayin’

NoTheresa · 02/10/2019 22:03

Oh here we go again: people are JEALOUS! Give me a break or should that be Take a Break...

NoTheresa · 02/10/2019 22:04

The FT? I should jolly well hope not. The FT has standards.

Like I say, I don’t think that’s true of everyone.

But the catty comment on Meghans appearance quoted above gives me pause.

ShirleyPhallus · 02/10/2019 22:07

I’m not jealous of MM, her life must be really hard atm. But Christ i wouldn’t mind looking like her, she is gorgeous.

A good friend of mine looks very similar to her and turns heads absolutely everywhere she goes.

QualCheckBot · 02/10/2019 22:08

But why is there so much defence of criticism of MM's appearance, yet when Priti Patel's facial features were criticised over and over again on a thread earlier today, she didn't have these hordes of people sticking up for her? Its clearly the magic royal factor. Some people will stick up for the RF even when they are clearly a bunch of increasingly badly behaved, indulged people.

Pitterpatterpettysteps · 02/10/2019 22:09

I think a lot of people don’t warm to Meghan because there’s something smug and inauthentic about her. It’s not unusual to respond to someone in the public eye in this way, it’s not racist.

I have a negative feeling about several celebrities I’ll presumably never meet. David Beckham, for example. What makes it so surprising that some people feel this way about M & H?

Mummy195 · 02/10/2019 22:09

But didn't he invest most of that money on a failed jewellery business, went bankrupt and though he paid for the private school, he did not pay for Uni really as he was broke, so she had to get a grant?

LaurieMarlow · 02/10/2019 22:10

yet when Priti Patel's facial features were criticised over and over again on a thread earlier today

I didn’t see this, I’d have commented if I had because slagging off anyone’s physical appearance is a dick move.

I’m not a fan of the royals at all, we should get rid of them in the morning. But ppl should have the decency to judge Meghan by the same criteria they judge the others.

Pitterpatterpettysteps · 02/10/2019 22:13

Meghan has an army of loyal fans posting on Celebitchy who say the most horrible things about Kate Middleton’s Appearance. It’s very strange.

LadyWithLapdog · 02/10/2019 22:13

I haven’t seen the thread about Priti Patel but her party is despicable and I’m in no rush to defend her. she’s also said some pretty vile things herself.
