A positive thread on Harry and Meghan (aka Thread 5)

[Mummy195]

A continuation for those who would like to look at the positive side of Harry and Meghan.

I would think she spent a long time on it. According to her friend Omid Scobie, it was written with the public in mind (she knew it would be published).

I am impressed that anyone sends letters.
I would struggle these days as no spellcheck.
when I was young I had a relative that i wrote to, she would send back letters with the spelling corrected.....

I personally don't care if it took her a week to write it. I also don't know what her letter writing habits are or were so speculating seems futile.

I have read somewhere that she does ca!ligraphy. That's all the information I have.

Can I just post a link from the Daily Mail here..? (That is a bad start, isn’t it )

It is a positive article about MM written by Piers Morgan. Miracles happen!

Yuck, DM and Piers - please use a donotlink in the future. Let me save you all a click - here's the relevant bits from the article:

Caption - Meghan Markle hit the perfect tone in her comments about George Floyd, telling students in a video message about her own painful memories of witnessing the 1992 riots in Los Angeles after the brutal beating of Rodney King, and quoting her old teacher Ms Pollia who would tell her: 'Always remember to put others' needs above your own fears'.

Paragraphs:
It comes to something when it falls to Meghan Markle to give the President a lesson in how to show leadership at a time like this.

I've not been the Duchess of Sussex's biggest fan, to put it mildly, but I actually thought she hit the perfect tone in her comments about George Floyd today, telling students in a video message about her own painful memories of witnessing the 1992 riots in Los Angeles after the brutal beating of Rodney King, and quoting her old teacher Ms Pollia who would tell her: 'Always remember to put others' needs above your own fears'.

Meghan said: 'You're going to have empathy for those who don't see the world through the same lens that you do.'

There, right there, is what President Trump desperately needs to understand.

The American people are hurting.

They're hurting very badly.

Many of them may not be people who see the world through the same lens Trump does, and I'm sure he now has very real fears this may all cost him re-election in November.

But his primary duty as their president is to offer all Americans empathy and compassion and put their needs above his fears.

I honestly don't know if Trump has it in him to do this; he's certainly shown very little evidence of it since becoming President.

But he has to try.

As Meghan Markle also said: 'I wasn't sure what I could say to you. I wanted to say the right thing and I was really nervous that it would get picked apart. And I realised the only wrong thing to say is to say nothing.'

I think Meghan must have a lot of patience to spend so long writing so beautifully. I tried calligraphy and did a course in it but I was awful and got bored of crafting the curly bits.

My dear old Mum had really beautiful handwriting. Mine is atrocious!

Did she write slowly? Not being facetious. I rush my handwriting and it is hard to read. If I focus and slow down then it is clearly more aesthetically pleasing.

Funny you should ask... I was just thinking that no, she didn't write that slowly. Far slower than me, but I scribble it out impatiently, like you!. She used to write deliberately and it was such pretty writing.

Mine changes direction (slant forward, slant backwards) and changes size, depending how quickly I write!

Calligraphy should come as second nature to MM. She has been doing it for years. Inbetween jobs she used to teach classes on it, plus she used to do wedding invitations etc. So I would assume she can do it in her sleep. Someone posted an old thank you letter from her Suits days on SM and it was perfect writing.

Omid Scobie is not MM's friend though is he? I have never even seen social pics of him and her before. Never heard her or him refer to each other as friends. He is a RR who just refused to engage in the smear on MM. He actually reports the same way for everyone in RF, does that make him a friend of K&W too?

The friendship thing came out when MM exclusively invited him and 2 other RRs who are not regularly smearing her, to her last engagement. Then even further, when the rags thought that his biography may be impartial.

Where did OS say the letter was written for the public ? How would he know anyway?

As for the friends, MM said it in front of the law that she did not know the friends would talk about the letter. The friends do not quote the contents of the letter, they knew about it, but they did not read it out or supply it. It sounds like MM confided, and they wanted to set the record straight - any friend who sees what MM has been put through would. They simply did not realise how the rags would twist everything. I suspect from then on they knew to keep their mouths shut, this is a minefield. Even Serena W realised when she said something about MM going over to the US to watch her match, that was so analysed, from then on, she refused to talk about MM incase her words get twisted.

She knew in her hearts of hearts, sounds like OS speculating. He never said she told me this. As I said, he is not her confidant, he is not in her inner circle even.

That is one of reasons why I wondered why the papers make it like his biography is being written by her. Sure, he does not usually smear her, but he is definitely not her mouthpiece either.

Omid is writing the book with Carolyn Durand, a woman who has written anti Meghan articles.

Nice to hear that H&M charities are still going strong.

Sentebale released their annual report and they made just under £400K last year. Bringing their total up to £4M now.

I listen to The Heirpod which is Omid’s royal commentary podcast. It is quite good and Omid sounds sweet.

The dogs charity Mayhew have also released their annual report.

They seem happy. Have not gone through their report in detail, but the last page of their AR shows that their expenditure is less than their income which is good.
Income of around £3.5m expenditure of around £3.2m give or take.

I have seen those links, anyone has a right to post them of course, but I suggest you go and search them on SM if you really want to see them, and if English is not in the mood to search for and post negative articles about MM on a positive thread, that is fine.

But I would quickly add that anyone and everyone is free to post as they feel.

I saw the Stan tweets. And most of them were stating that if the RF is wrong or has made H&M leave, (which most of them believe) that will not be revelead in the OS biography as he generally would not like to report any negativity on K&W and the rest of the RF.

Thanks for saving us the click on DM.

TBH, I just see Piers M just inserting MM name in anything now. He is just goes where the tide goes. He is nothing but a white supremacist for hire.

I don't agree with Rudy Giuliani in general, normally, but I will agree with the statement that PM has no beliefs or views, he is just a propaganda mount piece who says what is commanded by his paymasters.

I don't think anyone will forget him barking down the telly that a woc must go back to her country (in reference to MM)

mouthpiece.

why was that autocorrected.

One of the main reasons H&M left, and why the CW event was so frosty.

Didn't know it costs as cheap as £4000 to backstab your own brother.

The article does say that they are not claiming the DoC had any involvement.

So why is this guy still working for them? They can't claim ignorance surely?
