I don’t have any real issue with them, nor love for them.

But I’m sick to death of every bloody newswebsite being full of articles about them. It’s just really boring!!

‘Boring and whiny’ about being suicidal?

Madamecastafiore · 15/12/2022 16:11

I think if the roles were reversed and it were an older man with a young female member of the monarchy there would be an outcry over what has happened. She saw a damaged young man who she was able to manipulate to her own ends.

The tide is turning though. You can only spout shit for so long until you start to look like hypocritical whingers and people's sympathy to your terrible 🙄 plight wavers.

So far today its haz was BLOCKED from seeing his grandmother (although he still spoke to her on the phone and meghan called her all the time just to check in)

The house they were given (that his brother and sil lived in with their baby) was TOO SMALL

Her dad releasing a letter to the papers CAUSED HER MISCARRIAGE

The press were GIVEN INFORMATION about there proposed move to NEW ZEALAND (seriously never heard that one)

WILLIAM SHOUTED at him INFRONT OF THE QUEEN (and the Queen said nothing which suggests agreement to me)

And apparently William BLASTED them via text after oprah (all caught by there conveniently placed cameraman who suggested they took a break to regroup before they carried on

Meanwhile my house has barely got above 14 degrees today im spending money i don't have on gas and can't keep the house warm still

My sympathy for their situation is at minus 7 degrees coincidentally the temperature outside my house today

I just ignore them in the news but I am fed up with constant thread on here that are not in the Royal Family topic where they belong. Or TV topic or whichever one the threads actually relate to. I am continually hiding them otherwise Trending is bloody full of them.

Well yes because I don't know any seriously suicidal person who goes out to an event the same night and who has access to the best medical care money can buy but still manages to have "no help" and doesn't know "who to turn to for help" Harry had mental health support for YEARS they literally ran a mental health charity there is no way that is genuinely truthful

And then they monetised it

you’re bloody joking, right? They met in 2016 when Harry would have been 32 years old. Your misogyny is off the scale. He is (and was then too) VERY much a grown man.

TodayIsFridayHooray · 15/12/2022 16:23

I love it all!! :) I don't watch much TV, but enjoy reading all about them on twitter, Mumsnet and anywhere else! It's so interesting!! I think they are both whinging rich kids who'd have a massive shock if they actually saw what a hard life is! And I hate their hypocrisy and constant airing of the family laundry in public!! I also hate them slagging off the royal family and the UK and feel v sad for Harry's predicament when they spilt up (which will happen one day!!)

Love it all though!!

I would have had soooooo much respect for them both if they'd buggered off to France or somewhere out of the limelight, to live a quiet life in a small and affordable property (so they didn't have to make millions throwing their families and Britain to the wolves), with Meghan continuing her acting career and just getting on with it, and Harry doing some charitable work.

They don't want a quiet normal life. They want to be centre of attention, in every paper, and universally loved (and they will never achieve universal admiration - the sooner they realise that, the sooner they can stop trying to tell 'their truth' and try and get everyone to love them!! The more they do it, the more people dislike them!!)

If you believe she was suicide I have a bridge to sell you

That was to @Madamecastafiore

BlackberrySky · 15/12/2022 16:24

I am so fed up of trying to dodge their endless bleating and airing of dirty laundry. If this is their idea of a "private life" then they are even more warped than I thought.

TulipCat · 15/12/2022 16:25

Harry allegedly hates the media for their treatment of his mother, and yet here he is playing right into their hands. Oh the irony.....

orbitalcrisis · 15/12/2022 16:32

When people stop clicking on the articles, the newspapers will stop writing them.

Madamecastafiore · 15/12/2022 16:34

RolleenCooney your opinion obviously differs from mine.

Poor old Meg, her detractors are obviously either racist or misogynistic rather than her being a dreadful human being who has manipulated Harry.

Um she's less than three years older than him plenty of people have similar age gaps ,and they were both in their 30,s

Um.. I think Meghan would have more of an idea than Harry how hard life can be. She didn’t grow up in a palace remember nor were her parents millionaires.

Been around the block though and had a lot more life experience.

Yet, no such issues when she lived in North America nor any complaints from the charities she worked with. She lived in Canada for seven years, worked on a tv show for what 5-6 straight and nothing there either. If she was so bad, she would have been pulled up before the wedding and after, yet nothing other than what the tabloids have posted because they are oh so reliable and haven’t been paying out millions of pounds in settlements.. oh wait..

Her father had a good career and had a lottery win in 1990, equivalent to about $1.8 million today. Obviously Meghan did not have the same level of privilege as Harry but she wasn’t left wanting either, however much she tries to pretend otherwise.

She was a women in her 30,s you wouldn't expect her to be virgin bride (unlike Diana who married at 19 a much older man)
I doubt Harry was a chaste virgin. either

I have never gotten that impression through the articles that she has ever pretended to be left wanting, but if that’s how you to choose to see it.. ok.

Hang on in there, his book is out in January and I’m hopeful that by February they have nothing new left to reveal, and that’ll be the last we hear of it all.

I hope so too. After Netflix and the book, they have nothing left to sell. But wait. They have the children. It will be interesting to see if they go there.

She grew up in Los Angeles in a middle class family. Hardly the slums 🙄

I know that nor did I say she did. I knew she definitely didn’t grow up in Compton despite what the DM tried to portray but please put words that I didn’t say in my post.

I haven’t put words in your mouth. She wasn’t a millionaire but she has no idea what it’s like to be poor
