Maybe as a PP suggested, they were all or mostly her friends and they thought that would lead to comment? Dunno.

H & M do seem very immature, and it's been said before he's not that bright....all the shitty stunts he pulled over the years, and now their recent disastrous decisions....it really shows a lack of intelligence. They need to start listening to their staff & PR team. (and possibly stop firing people who disagree with them)

They behave like arrogant, spoilt, self centred teenagers I cannot believe they've made the whole SA trip about themselves, completely overshadowed every visit and every issue. What a slap in the face to their hosts.

Having said that, I like that she's no longer buying dresses that cost more than the average annual salary in the UK. definitely a step in the right direction and she's earned points from me for this.

obviously someone has been spending a LOT of time reading Tumblr hate sites.

A bit of a leap there ? A bit of black and white thinking? Perhaps a bit paranoid...

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 24/10/2019 22:41

Plenty of posters here have insisted racism is absolutely 100% not a factor in any of the criticism whatsoever and that there’s been no racism towards Meghan and that the posters “crying racism” are just over sensitive wokester meaniepoos.

I have never read that on any of these threads. Lots of posters have said racism is absolutely 100% not a factor in their criticism. And that posters who claim all the criticism is rooted in racism are somewhat deluded at best.

I wonder if it's that some people are disappointed to find Meghan's colour is not as important to everyone as it is to them?

SenecaFalls · 24/10/2019 22:46

And that posters who claim all the criticism is rooted in racism are somewhat deluded at best.

But no one has said this. Certainly not all of the criticism is rooted in racism. But I do think that much of it is, not on MN so much, although there has been some, but certainly in other quarters.

I’m all ears as to why

Me too. I'm curious to know the motivation.

CoolCarrie · 24/10/2019 23:14

It’s not because she is mixed race imo, it’s because she is American, more like xenophobia, than racism. If Harry had married a blonde, blue eyed American who behaved in the same way there would still be critics.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 24/10/2019 23:22

Peter Phillips married a Canadian. She seems very popular.

If Harry had married anyone, American or British, who behaved in the same way there would be critics.

The racism is shocking and appalling. I agree Meghan's the first to encounter this particular challenge, and it should be shut down wherever it occurs.

But I hope and believe that these hideous individuals are in the minority amongst her critics. The DM and Instagram comments are not the place to find reasoned argument and constructive criticism.

EachandEveryone · 25/10/2019 06:44

I think she thought she would be ourMichelle Obama. I feel for her.

Rhubarbisevil · 25/10/2019 07:33

Louis’ godparents (COD George will be King therefore the godparents are significant): messers Von cutsum steawberryauzeebem and mrs Blandy-Bland

Archie’s godparents: serena Williams, Barack Obama.

You get my drift.

Notmyrealname855 · 25/10/2019 07:47

Lol I’ll ask her if she uses tumblr this morning! We both left at midnight so might be a late response Biscuit

Her gist is they’re old and cringe. Tbh I thought they’d be much better at this, their PR sucks, it’s too ofteneither self centred or tone deaf. And I’d sort of forgotten about the Harry nazi stuff and now it’s annoying me again. It’s true what she says, they put out SO much content - more than the rest of them, which seems good... but it’s preachy and hypocritical, and a bit bland, and now I’m thinking yeah they are too old for this - she said it’s like [name of night secretary] that posts loads of cheesy meaningless shit online and I’m sort of agreeing. Plus yeah to complain about your lives on a tour to highlight actual causes including gender violence and poverty, I mean come on

Anyway will ask about tumblr thing morning! Neither of us reads the Daily Fail though :)

I can't get past standing in South Africa where your job is to represent the Queen and draw attention to charities and community projects and using the time to point out how badly you have been treated and how miserable your lives are. I hope they got a written warning from the Queen on their return.

Candle1000 · 25/10/2019 08:04

I see on social media , that Katherine has been spotted shopping in Sainsbury’s. I wonder if this has been orchestrated as a dig at H&M ?

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 25/10/2019 08:05

They're in their thirties. How old is your friend? 12? She sounds incredibly immature.

Pannalash · 25/10/2019 08:06

’a written warning’ Grin (from his grandma)

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 25/10/2019 08:06

I would agree that it's more likely to be xenophobia than racism in most cases.

Meghan seems to be ploughing the same well-meaning furrow as Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie, embodying a particular part of American culture, which does seem rather 'foreign' to British sensibilities.

Harry would have had better luck hooking up with Ruby Wax or Bill Bryson.

Too bad both are married.

And Bill is a man.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 25/10/2019 08:08

She's been spotted in budget shops with the children in tow before, as well as taking public transport. I guess she occasionally likes to pretend she's like everyone else.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 25/10/2019 08:52

Didn’t Diana famously queue for rides at a theme park With the boys once?

Candle1000 · 25/10/2019 09:00

I know that Kate has done normal things in the past but I’m just wondering about the timing of this outing being published .

I guess all sorts of things they do will now be dissected and used to show the difference between the two couples.

chesterdraws1 · 25/10/2019 09:01

The poo hat. That's where it all went wrong.

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 25/10/2019 09:15

No fair. She can't be blamed for the poo hat! It was her first official outing with the Royals and royal dress sense was really out of touch with her previous fashion sensibilities. It was Harry's job to say it was a bad choice. Probably knew the relationship would be overGrin

That said I think whoever suggested it should be lined up and shot.
