To think Harry/Meghan are coming out of this worse than the Royal Family?

[Bassarid]

Is it just me?

I would love to have known that Meghan had more family there to support her. Much more so than the concentration by the media as to whether the Beckhams were on speaking terms, for instance.

I really don't care who said what to who on a thread two years ago FFS.

I would too. If only I could find even a tiny reference to their attendance, that would be lovely.

But do you not think that he would have been quite an important enough guest to warrant being named?

"Named" by who?

It's not like Harry and Meghan sent out a press release saying "here's everyone who's attending the wedding."

Most of the names on the Wikipedia page are the result of the press scouring the videos of the footage and identifying all the people they recognise by sight. Watch the footage - the reporters didn't know ahead of time who would be attending (except for the obvious guests) and were trying to ID the guests they saw onscreen as those guests arrived.

Obviously British reporters aren't going to recognise Meghan's uncle by sight, which means the only way her uncle would be "named" is if either he or Meghan decide to issue a press release, which would be a very weird thing to do.

Her uncle has never spoken to the press and obviously wants privacy.

And it would have been nice for Doria to have some people she knew there.

Why did you feel the need to die on that hill yourself?
I'm not the poster who dragged the whole "Meghan had no family at her wedding" into this thread. I was simply responding to the poster who brought it up.

If someone says something false, I'll correct it. That's totally different from deciding to shoehorn incidents from years ago into an unrelated debate.

I would too. If only I could find even a tiny reference to their attendance, that would be lovely.

There have been loads of discussions about his attendance on Twitter and Lipstick Alley.

"Named by who?"
Well, clearly not by some runner at the BBC who was scouring the crowds for slebs.
But, bearing in mind how few family members Meghan did have there, I should have thought that any that did attend might have made a bit more of an impact on the media's consciousness. Even if it were to make some pops, their presence would have been noted.

I realize it's become relative Blossom, I just meant at the end of the day what difference does it make if she had no one but her mum or a thousand relatives. It doesn't prove anything about her at all.

They only thing it does is prove someone on this thread right or wrong and I'm really not interested in personal arguments and point scoring, that kind of shit gets threads deleted.

If you were kind enough to provide his name that would be very helpful @ohforarainyday. The only possible person I can find is Doria’s brother, Joe Johnson, and he wasn’t there.

I really RALLY don’t give a shit about who was at the wedding FFS. Start a new thread!

THIS thread is about what is happening NOW, and for the most past it’s been about what HARRY is doing now - which seems to be trying to inflict as much pain on his family as possible.

Well said Rinoa.

It's a disgrace what Harry is doing right now, however valid his grievances are, this is not the time. It feels a lot like bullying tbh.

Having been hurt in the past does not give anyone the right to deliberately and knowingly inflict harm on others in the future

I agree that rehashing the wedding is probably a bit silly now BUT..... I think it could be argued that it showed someone's priorities (that's not a dig - I don't know whose decision it would have been) perhaps being a little skewed.
How on earth can ANYONE justify someone who had only met the couple ONCE, being in pride of place - and that goes for the Clooneys as well as Oprah.

Absolutely Rinoa, it's like he can't see how his behaviour is the same as Samantha's or Thomas's. I'm really worried about him tbh. I really think he's not well.

His poor Grandmother.

@ChicChaos the comment was a while back but spot on. A lot of families have a Harry. We dance on broken egg shells to keep them happy. A simple well intentioned remarked is taken as a huge insult. So many decisions are made around, 'how will Harry take that'. 'Don't mention this to Harry'.

Before Meghan i think everyone around him managed to talk him down and smooth things out. I think she has massively encouraged him and validated every paranoia, every suspicion. This feels amazing to Harry as he suddenly feels 'understood'. It is so damaging though, I fear it won't end well.

It's definitely odd Call me, it's not the topic itself just the pissing match that kind of spoils it. Old adversaries carrying on the feud from thread to thread, it's why so many threads get deleted.

I like this thread and want it to stand.

it's why so many threads get deleted

A completely unintentional consequence I'm sure

Ever since meeting her, he's been alienated, step by step, from everyone who cared about him. Now he's stuck on the other side of the world, surrounded by those who do not have his best interests at heart. He only has her. It's a classic controlling relationship.

I don't know maybe she thinks she's helping him and is simply misguided. But I often wonder if the RF feel like that and are desperately trying to keep a door open to him.

I suppose it's always easier to blame the spouse than the relative.

He's certainly not "right" though.

And it would have been nice for Doria to have some people she knew there.

She was sitting next to Meghan's best friend of many years; she wasn't alone.
