Tbf lots of people say, we got married or had a wedding, when legally, they actually didn’t. Think in Islam as one example, but certainly I know many people who say they got married “married” abroad and do the legal bit in the Uk and don’t class that as the wedding. Either way, the Archbishop said that they had “many private meetings” which he won’t discuss. He also didn’t say, perhaps purposefully, that they didn’t have some sort of ceremony in there back yard. I guess it’s a bit like Kate’s photo which they say wasn’t a “fake photo” but actually was a “fake photo”.

Anyway, back to the H&M hand wringing for those that enjoy it!

Exactly. I have friends who've said vague shit like this and while I think it's a bit silly, I'm not going round lambasting them for their LIES

Once again, what are all these other 'lies'?

So please tell us why Meghan explained to Oprah she'd had her keys, driving licence and passport removed from her by royal aides when she joined The Firm.

Yet she still managed to travel around the world taking at least 14 flights we are aware of?

Looking forward to what she probably really meant 😂

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 17:18

Does it really matter?

Why? Harry and Meghan aren't part of the Royal Family!

Well hes the King's son so he is part of the royal family you might not like that but that doesn't make it not true

Extiainoiapeial · 17/12/2024 17:17

I know! We'll be back to avocados and roast chicken engagements before you know it!

Not to mention the coats. I've never come across anyone as criticised for wearing coats as Meghan Markle.

Maybe she did have them removed and then got them back. Maybe that's protocol. I don't know. You sure as hell don't either.

Once again, what are all these other 'lies'?

The titles nonsense
The racism which changed to unconscious bias
Tabloids - except the photographs shown weren't to do with them
Only child
The advert equality bullshit as a child
Not Being allowed her passport

Those are just a few off the top of my head - there are many more

Maybe MN could create a sub board called Meghanbash so all the posters who just want to post this nonsense can congregate there?

😂haha,

okay another Meghan and Harry told Oprah they had never planned to work with TV companies when they first moved to the US.

However, they signed a lucrative deal with Netflix in 2020. They were in talks with streaming service Quibi in 2019 before they stepped down as working royals in early 2020. When Meghan and Harry met with the app's founder, Jeffrey Katzenberg.

So what's the probably excuse for this lie? 😜

CalicoPusscat · 17/12/2024 17:23

I don't really pay much attention to what they say but it's a nice pic

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 17:24

@MerryMaker They have one, it's called The Royal family board

Not planning at one moment in time and swearing off for life are two different things. As I say, poor girls needs a lawyer with her at all times it seems.

Then this thread should be there. Its fucking insane on here.

No point because all the apologists would just follow anyway - same as here!

I guess the late queen was right "recollections may vary", so according to Cringe and Whinge you can never lie 😂

It's utterly bizarre to be so obsessed with somebody in this way.

They already have its called the the Royal family board,it's, essentially a MeghanBash topic.

FloofPaws · 17/12/2024 17:29

@TheKeatingFive - seriously?!

She's got siblings
They took an award for calling out racism ...albeit a bought and paid for award, then two years later it was apparently unconscious bias 'we never said racism'
The titles for Archie - royal protocol, he wasn't not given a title because of his colour - it was because it's not protocol

Well some of us are able to remember recall information we have heard over the years it just takes a few brain cells. Most normal people can recall a wide range of subjects this just happens to be one of them. Besides the person I replied to asked us all a question I just answered. 🙄

You do know what a forum is don't you?

You'd have to be searching for this information to know it, I don't know any of this because I don't give a crap about any of the royals.

Totally agree.
And I know nothing about that. But in what way is saying you have no plans to work with TV companies, and then later working with streaming companies a lie?
Are people really expected to stick to plans for ever? So if I say I have no plans to move abroad, then I can never move abroad ever without being a liar?

LOL I should NOT get drawn in. But this is all just so bizarre.
