Bullshit. Meghan never intended to stay. She was happy to get the titles and then piss off to monetise them.

Nobody's "obsessed" but it's a conversation piece. We're allowed to discuss figures in the public eye, n'est ce pas?

100% this. ^

A BBC journalist likened her mixed race newborn to a chimpanzee… and we are policing how ‘badly’ she reacted to the press?

I don’t know what to say.

God, I remember that. Absolutely revolting.

Why did you bring Catherine up? She wasn't under discussion. It's not a competition.

Why did you not defend Meghan from being called an ugly child?

Your silence on such nastiness is why I brought up Catherine, because this paradigm that Meghan is the devil and Catherine is a saint is so laughable.

That reveals just how many of these Royal Family sycophants fantasise about the lifestyle.

And I say that as a French speaker.

Not unwell, just deeply inadequate, unpleasant and a bit dim. A combination that is sadly not that uncommon in the world and sadly overrepresented on social media.

Because we can. There's a royal board for those with that peculiar interest. The rest of us swerve it. This is not that board.

Oh right, well you keep mumsnet-policing then, to ensure each post fits the correct category…. Again - aren’t there better things
to do? Or does every single post in a category you generally follow always have to interest you?

theblackandwhite · 19/12/2024 07:49

From Megans own mouth, her very own words

"Were you not the pretty one growing up?' a shocked Kaling asks.
'No, oh God, no!' responds Markle, adding: 'Ugly duckling'.
"I was the smart, one forever and ever and ever and ever - and then I sort of grew up."

Definition of 'Ugly Duckling' from the Cambridge Dictionary : someone or something that is ugly and not successful when young or new but will later become beautiful or successful

Maybe take it up with Meghan herself, for those who are awfully offended by Meghans own words, however I somehow think Megan is rightfully okay with the evolution of her appearance.

theblackandwhite · 19/12/2024 07:52

I agree, what has Catherine got to do with how Meghan looked as a child.🙄

Well you were the one who suggested Meghan ,s children will be ugly which is a very unpleasant thing to say about two small children.

theblackandwhite · 19/12/2024 08:17

Not at all, i mentioned that the assumption they were gorgeous is not based on any objectivity.

Without seeing any photos of the children in recent years it's just someone wishing/hoping they are gorgeous and better looking than the rest of Harry's family because Meghan is now seen as very attractive.

No what you actually said was the chances of them winning in the good looking ( or words to that affect as the comment was rightly deleted) genes department were slim

theblackandwhite · 19/12/2024 08:34

Well I will refrain from discussing further the objective probabability of genetics then.

Good. It's unpleasant to go down that route and I have no idea why anyone would want to start speculating about attractiveness in little children and label it as 'objective probability'

You just can't own the fact that what you said about two small children was just plain nasty csn you ?
Would you like people to discuss your children and and wether we think they are likely ugly based on your gene pool?

Manypaws · 19/12/2024 12:26

How low can people go? They are children ffs

I am also a French speaker. Ca va?

WTAF has using a French phrase got to do with the RF?

How rude and ridiculous to accuse me of being a sycophant. Ironic too actually with the fawning over Harry and Meghan.

I have zero desire to live like the RF. What an infantile thing to say!

Oh FFS I thought there were enough of you foaming at the mouth and there was no need for anyone else to join in!!

Am I being told what I must post now???! Merde!

Most of us have the intelligence to realise that neither woman is saint or sinner.

Who cares? The obsession with ripping these two apart is so bizarre - especially as it throws them more into the limelight which is one of the things the people always posting about them seem to detest. Don’t get it

I don't think calling out people on their BS is bizarre. People like to see bullies and liars get their come-uppance, however I agree that the constant reporting of them throws them more into the limelight...which MM loves even though she said reporting left the UK to avoid media scrutiny. What a lie - she'll do anything for attention.

ThianWinter · 17/12/2024 09:21

I seriously don’t understand the vitriol this couple get. No one, other than their friends, knows them. Why assign dubious motives to the most banal actions?

I agree that there is over the top and unnecessary vitriol in some cases.... however it stems from the fact that Markle is essentially a compulsive liar, narcissist and bully. Did you not see the Oprah interview??? People like to see such folk get their come-uppance - hence the constant vitriol.

womenbite · 09/06/2025 06:30

I can’t believe someone has resurrected a thread started last year to say all MM wants is attention and will do anything to get it.

Seriously just ignore her and stop giving her the attention she’s meant to crave and then maybe she will stop posting.

No she isn't, that's an awful thing to say. The wording is as if you copied it from a youtube video, coupled with so-called body-language experts who also post on youtube to have goes at people.

I disagree. I wish it wasn't true but sadly there is so much irrefutable evidence out there. Are all the ex courtiers that she bullied out of a job lying? Are all her ex friends that she ghosted lying? She admitted in court to lying. There is too much evidence out there to ignore and I'm shocked that it's not obvious to everyone. However, let's agree to disagree. I no longer wish to post on this thread.

Petitchat · 13/06/2025 22:58

Meghan and Harry must be an extremely strong couple to carry on enjoying their lives together, despite all the vitriol and injustice against them.

So sensible not to show their children's faces.....
