Yes - Team Meghan

No - Team Windsor

Nothing - Don’t really care!

I find it really sad Meghan couldn't get help or speak to someone about her mental health. Isn't it an irony that the Cambridge's are driving the campaign for mental health?

I don’t particularly warm to Meghan, but I also think if you have been on the receiving of toxic behaviour that you shouldn’t simply have to tolerate it just because you’re family. Harry has always been rebellious; he’s no angel!

SandyY2K · 08/03/2021 12:25

nobody would have a clue she was mixed-race if she didn’t tell them.

Why wouldn't they have a clue? I can see she's mixed race. Similar to Jessica Ennis, who is also mixed race.

I think it comes from a lot of people's (moreso non black people's) lack of knowledge with other skin colours and being able to differentiate.

A bit like when the Health Secretary was asked why there were no black people on the cabinet and he referred to 2 Asian ministers.

Do people actually believe she got no help for her MH? Really?

Why would we not believe it?

Both parties are behaving in a very flawed way
Neither party has gained my respect
Disappointing that such poor behaviour is being displayed so publicly

I love a bit of gossip and this is like a posh Jeremy Kyle, posh gutter stories

Did she explain why she couldn't? I haven't seen it. I found it difficult to access mental health support because I am poor and where I live we have to pay for medical care. The ongoing costs of anti depressants, Drs visits and therapy was too much for me to afford. They were two millionaires? I'm struggling to see how between them they couldn't figure out a way especially when patient Dr confidentiality applies and no one needed to know about any of it?
Happytentoes · 08/03/2021 12:31

Meghan husband let her down. But he is still not mature enough to realise this.

FuckyouBrennan · 08/03/2021 12:32

@DrSbaitso she is unable to call a dr for herself is she? But she can organise an Oprah interview? Can travel abroad for a baby shower? Can land herself a job on suits? Can get through a pregnancy and 2 marriages? But can’t call a fucking doctor? Give me a break, seriously! The way they assume we are all stupid & naive enough to believe their bullshit is honestly insulting.

The pair of them are nothing but spoilt, entitled liars who have just put out a sob story for the world because granny won’t pay a nice man to look after him anymore.

Get a fucking grip.

MrPickles73 · 08/03/2021 12:33

Team Liz.
I was a fan of suits but I'm really bored of Me-Again now.

CovidKingfisher · 08/03/2021 12:33

Makes you wonder with the rumours about his parentage years ago and he looks like someone else, well is he a Windsor at all?

Of course he is. I'm no fan of his as he's a big wet lettuce but he gets more like Charles as he gets older, he also looks similar to a young Prince Phillip. Plus the fact his mother didn't meet you-know-who until two years after Harry was born.

The irony that it is a Black woman who will bring down the monarchy.

Ha ha she wishes 🤣

LApprentiSorcier · 08/03/2021 12:34

This 'team' stuff is irrelevant. We need to abolish the monarchy, then issues like this wouldn't arise.

MrPickles73 · 08/03/2021 12:34

fuckyoubrennan agree 100 percent

DeeCeeCherry · 08/03/2021 12:34

Dr Shola on This Morning put Piers in his place. Good. A slimeball who's openly obsessed over MM for years, bolstered by support of his incitement of hatred of a woman.

A man who hacked a dead child's phone, has been photographed with decidedly dubious men, holidayed abroad during Tier 4 Covid...

But it's MM he's stalking so it's cool, isn't it? He's the right type. She isnt, so people turn a blind eye.

& White male privilege rides again.

Happy International Women's Day.

redferrari · 08/03/2021 12:35

@OuiOuiKitty I assumed it's because she wasn't allowed to do something. I think you are right that they could have payed for someone to visit her discreetly. I always thought her baby shower trip was just for her mental health she must be lonely as all her friends were in the states. But she was criticised for that too.

Sparrowfeeder · 08/03/2021 12:35

100% team Meghan. That toxic family needs to be downgraded. Andrew needs to face justice.

She was trying to tick every box to gain maximum sympathy to make even more multimillion pound tv deals.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 08/03/2021 12:36

I was team H&M (not sure why your thread title only refers to Meghan and omits Harry) up until this interview.

I just for the life of me cannot understand why they have done it, what good they thought would come of it.

I was all for them making their own choices and leaving a life of service behind if they wanted to.

But this really does not come across well and I cannot believe they did it, what purpose they think it will serve, surely they must have understood it would just fan the flames of controversy around them and not everyone would be sympathetic?

Also, the timing of the broadcast could not be worse.

MrPickles73 · 08/03/2021 12:36

sandyy2k I never gave her skin colour a moments thought and the first time it was brought to my attention was when she called herself a 'woman of colour'. I've had a pretty international and multicultural upbringing and I really don't clock these things...

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 08/03/2021 12:39

SSD

Absolutely. But then I’m hugely ugly so maybe I stuck out! But they did remember my name and were as lovely as they were the first time.🤷‍♀️

Hollyoakswatcher · 08/03/2021 12:39

I’m team Windsor just because I’m annoyed I have to wait an extra day for the new unforgotten episode because it’s been replaced for the interview tonight 😂😂

SheldonesqueIsUnwell · 08/03/2021 12:40

Aye fuckyoubrennan

It is a load of indulgent twaddle.

It wasn't that she wasn't physically capable of calling a doctor, it's that she was under intense pressure not to, because of the circumstances she was in at the time. Circumstances that didn't exist before she was married to a prince, or when she was dealing with issues other than an impending mental breakdown, which gets a different reaction from people.

In that sense, the Firm was actually probably right. The amount of hate she gets merely for not being happy, as per this delightful post, is unwarranted. The amount she would get if it got out that she is so unhappy that she requires professional mental health care...well, once again, we are seeing it right now, aren't we?

I can certainly see why she wouldn't have called a doctor if she would have got responses like this post (which, to be fair, is only one of many) and had the entire Palace PR team telling her she couldn't. Can't you?
