I think this is the issue for many

Yep. Imagine if it carries on like this... madly in love, looking fab every time out and about, happy ever after.... the Debbie Drainers will be beside themselves!

The tights issue is just a stick to beat her with. As is the dress, the teeth, the hair, the smile, the words she speaks, the umbrella, the shoes and so on, and so on, ad infinitum.
Tedious.

PortiaCastis · 06/03/2020 10:36

Well if I look half as good as Meghan in my wedding pictures I'll be very happy, only got 5 weeks to starve and fit into my dress though so not hopeful

Samcro
apologies. my mistake xx

Thanks - that's really nice of you.

As I've said before, I do follow this thread (among others like the Masterchef one and the Chalet School books one*), but - as I've also said - I do respect the title and only post silly jokes or random stuff about eg Pointless.

Personally, I think it's healthy to see opinions other than one's own.
But this morning I was told that reading this thread as well as the multiple thread is evidence of a worrying obsession.

Ah well. You can't bring sunshine all the time.

*Slightly concerned about a personality profile based on that.... joke!

LaMarschallin · 06/03/2020 10:40

PS
I was also accused of "stalking" this thread elsewhere.
Does it count as stalking if one posts on a thread under one's own name?

I'm rubbish at stalking, aren't I?

Congratulations Portia

All the best on your big day.

Samcro · 06/03/2020 11:15

I agree Sunshine, it has to feel like bumping into your ex looking hot with a hunk.

It must really sting for the haters. Speaking of which Piers Morgan put up a nondescript pic from a couple of days ago of K&W - I guess because there aren't many of them looking like a close couple. Anyway, he called it Pic of Royal couple of the day. Clearly a dig at H&M cause they really shut his mouth last night.

I love the twit replies, especially the Walking through Pierstears one.

Oh please don't! My jokes are usually rubbish and I don't use emojis enough.

I was just miffed, not so much by your post but by one elsethread suggesting I was an obsessive stalker and a cause for worry because I follow this and the other thread Smile

So it seemed that nobody was being rational and I overreacted to your post.

I see how my phrase of "stunt baby" could cause a "Yikes!" response given the mad rumours of MM wearing a moonbump (if that's the right term).
But honestly - I do respect the spirit in which Dave started these threads and have only posted with jokes or neutral (re H&M) remarks.

LaMarschallin · 06/03/2020 13:16

Forgot to add Flowers and Wine

The latter is for later - I don't want to be accused of drawing you in to bad habits Wink

Samcro · 06/03/2020 13:20

LaMarschallin and me have now Pm'd and sorted the misunderstanding out.
Wine all round

They looked really happy at the Endeavour event and she looks fab

Some pretty nasty comments on the other thread, wish I hadn't looked. There are some very sad people on there .

BonnesVacances · 06/03/2020 14:44

I wrote to them both in January wishing them luck in their new lives and received a letter back from Buckingham Palace today thanking me for my support. It's now framed in the downstairs loo. Grin

Samcro · 06/03/2020 15:14

i know we are not allowed to talk about the "other thread" but please do look at the last page. there is a brilliant post from someone from SA. it really does question our pre conceived ideas.

PortiaCastis · 06/03/2020 15:28

Thank you for your good wishes Mummy wedding is on Easter Saturday, only a small do as second time round.
More I see pics of Meghan in the blue dress the more I like it she looks lovely and yes she did set foot back in this Country again. That pic of sneers morgan put me right off my lunch he needs the gym I think.

PortiaCastis · 06/03/2020 15:34

I read that post Samcro it is brilliant.

Roussette · 06/03/2020 17:03

Portia Happy days to you and good luck for your wedding! Sorry, my memory is like a bowl of spaghetti, was it you who said you had your wedding shoes a while back?

The picture of them in the rain is fab and BonnesVacances what a great letter to get back!

I loved the post from the SA woman. So measured, thoughtful and polite. I wanted to say so, but daren't go on there because I will probably get banned from MN.

All I can say is... not long until they are back 'home' in Canada and the feeding frenzy will abate. Nasty criticisms will stop and the threads will hopefully die down. Can anyone honestly blame them for leaving? The level of vitriol all over has not changed. No reflection from anyone as to why they might have done this.

I think they are incredibly brave and it's bloody brilliant to see them looking so happy.

Roussette · 06/03/2020 17:05

The level of vitriol all over has not changed
I mean everywhere, not just MN. The gutter press, that mouldy potato Piers, etc etc

Cerseirys · 06/03/2020 17:13

I have to say that as someone who's lived in South Africa, I found people's comments about Meghan saying she was having a tough time "in front of starving Africans" quite offensive. Africa is a continent not a country and given that the focus of that tour was on entrepreneurship and women's education, "starving Africans" was a lazy stereotype.

PortiaCastis · 06/03/2020 18:35

Thanks Rousette. Yes it was me who recently bought wedding shoes, been wearing them at home so I'm not hobbling on the day though. My Mother is the biggest worry on the day though as she's wearing a hat that resembles a UFO and will be teased relentlessly about it. Grin it will all be good hearted though.
Yes I agree about the vitriol being spewed against one woman however I read a copy of the Sun today and the write up about last night's event wasn't too bad unlike some of the disgusting stuff elsewhere. I have just seen Prince Harry on BBC news with Lewis Hamilton opening something at Silverstone he looked relaxed and interested, the news snippet was only a couple of minutes long so not much to criticise.

Roussette · 06/03/2020 18:39

Exciting times for you Portia. Lovely! Your DM's hat sounds interesting!

PortiaCastis · 06/03/2020 18:45

Grin I've christened DMs headgear the Starship Enterprise.
