Positive thread on Meghan again

Now that at the other knock off MN chat has been shut down, we seem to have an influx of those posters on here with new or encouraged accounts.

For those who are not interested in trawling through negative post after the other. You can come on here for positive news about Meghan and Harry.

Why not, everyone else seems to be viewed positively, without 'cynicism'. I don't mind taking this at snail pace, we just post on the good things about H&M, they sure seem to be doing a lot of that lately, and it's really buried under the negativity on MN.

'why shouldn't he talk about his family. should he just stay silent to please the haters?'

Because there are estranged from his own fil as he overshared! so you'd think they would realise how inappropriate and hypocritical it is to do the same thing Confused

Viviennemary · 14/05/2021 10:00

Exactly. Yet another example of do as we say not as we do. The rules are different for them. Its hypocritical.

Roussette · 14/05/2021 10:21

No, it's not different. All the Thomas Markle stuff kicked off before they got married, it must have been so stressful, he sold letters to the gutter press, he set up pap shots and sold them and they asked that he stop doing that.

Hardly the same as this. Not hypocrtical at all.

Good on them... they are speaking out, and it will shine a light on what goes on in the RF. Change is needed, let this be the start

Samcro · 14/05/2021 10:33

its normal for people who have just had children to question how their parents parented. to question why one child was the golden child.
its not like the RF have a history of being good parents.
The Rf is odd. it has very odd standards that must be strange to any one coming in.
Keeping PA In the fold, favouriting children. all very strange.

Viviennemary · 14/05/2021 11:02

I imagine the Royals would have preferred them not to appear on Oprah and certainly not when Prince Philip was so ill. And now they ard carrying on with their complaints in public about perceived past injustices. Quite shocking really.

Roussette · 14/05/2021 11:06

Quite an eye opener I would say. He is recognising what is wrong and what was wrong for his Dad. And that is 'the monarchy' comes above everything even parenting and relationships.

And so right about a Truman show. We are spoon fed this show by the RF PR machine.

Samcro · 14/05/2021 11:32

thing is whenever they do something, someone will say omg they did that on so and so's birthday(add another event in)
now I assume they can't do anything just in case something happens to the queen/Charles..... ridiculous

Gorgeouslilgirl · 14/05/2021 11:53

Interesting article

Theunamedcat · 14/05/2021 16:49

Honestly "PA" comes up on every thread about Harry

He has not been arrested he has not been convicted he has not been charged with anything YET

Harry had dinner with him Harry still talks to him Harry is fine publicly with him

Prince Charles made sure he was removed from his office and doesn't take part in any duties

So who is wrong here? Harry or Charles

Pap shots of him just before the wedding, we know about. What letters did he sell to the press before the wedding?

Like I asked earlier, why is it bad that the stuff with TM kicked off before the wedding, but not that H&M spoke to OW when PP was not far from dying and Harry has cast aspersions on his father and his grandparents shortly after the funeral? Is that not stressful for PC and the Queen? Why is one wrong and not the other?

smilesy · 14/05/2021 17:53

Just realised, I asked that on another thread 😂😂

Why do people keep comparing TM to the H&M is beyond me.

That TM has disagreements with his daughter is pure gossip. No corruption, no crime, nothing that affect us. Not in the public interest at all. He is nobody, not influencing anything. He just did this for the money.

The RF is the ruling institution for us and the the commonwealth. They cannot be racists, put hurdles in front of someone with MH, be associated with peados, be corrupt. They need to act in a responsible manner as an institution that we fund as an institution of the Head of State.

@Gorgeouslilgirl

That is one of the few articles in the UK that actually seems to have grasped the what the whole podcast was about, MH. They go into more details about what was discussed.

Out of the whole podcast, H talked mostly about MH, rather than his family, but trust the BM to pick one point and twist it. H has been with his family for over 36yrs and they have been an integral part of him, so yes they will come up.

Funny, the collective amnesia, that it was PC himself who talked about his difficult upbringing. H was not telling us anything new here. Here is an article from 1994 :

Why is it beyond you. If H wants to talk openly about private family relationships then he should not criticise and cut off others for doing just that.

Roussette · 15/05/2021 09:38

As I am asked continually to provide links for anything I say, can I ask for your link on that?

I honestly do not believe that is true and need proof, I'm afraid. I have followed the story of PA closely and never seen anything remotely like that.

Roussette · 15/05/2021 09:42

This. ^^

I've listened to it all. But unfortunately those that are incensed about it haven't.
They have just picked up on the clickbait stuff which lasts for about 2 minutes out of 1hour30mins.

SueSaid · 15/05/2021 09:44

'Funny, the collective amnesia, that it was PC himself who talked about his difficult upbringing'

You need context tbh. PC hadn't made a big song and dance about his inlaws gossiping about private stuff, he hadn't set up his own royal web site laying out all his plans for his independent little RF abroad without any discussion with the Queen, he hadn't left the country to do his own thing (albeit exploiting his royalty connections) and he hadn't publicly thrown unsubstantiated allegations at his family.

This 'podcast' is just the latest in a long line of disloyal, unpleasant crap that H has done.

Roussette · 15/05/2021 09:52

Why are you calling it 'an independent little RF abroad'. They've never called it that, they have always wanted to take on projects and give back so I'm puzzled why you think that.

The podcast was actually good and worth a listen.

Samcro · 15/05/2021 10:00

it is common knowledge that PC did not have a happy childhood, not did Diana.
makes sense that PH would want better for his children.
imagine living in a family where you have a golden child that is deemed better and treated differently to you, then seeing that the same will happen to your child. Most people would walk away.

This.
Samcro · 15/05/2021 11:14

oh has H now blackmailed his family? must have missed that.TM did, something to do with doing an interview every 30 days.

SueSaid · 15/05/2021 11:22

'Most people would walk away'

The walking away isn't the the problem it's the Oprah Winfrey crap and talking about his family that is. When it was 'the family she never had' a short time ago before he was told no, he could not do as he pleased while still a full time senior royal.

Roussette · 15/05/2021 11:29

I'm surprised you can say that the walking away isn't the problem, did you feel that at the time?

I can't remember you from any of the threads at the time so I am not saying you did or you didn't, but the walking away caused a massive outcry here on MN. The most heinous crime ever.

LittleBearPad · 15/05/2021 11:52

I don’t think it was so much the walking away as the manner of it.

The Sussex Royal branding - no one owns Royal comments.
The ‘collaborate with the Queen’ grandiosity
Etc
