Positive thread on Meghan again

[Mummy194]

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.

From the other thread, someone helpfully posted Meghan's Father's Day message to Thomas in 2016. Isn't that the year H & M got together? Just a few months after posting that message?

"Meghan's father's day message to Thomas in 2016 -

“Happy Father’s Day, daddy, I’m still your buckaroo, and to this day your hugs are still the very best in the whole wide world. Thanks for my work ethic, my love of Busby Berkeley films & club sandwiches, for teaching me the importance of handwritten thank you notes, and for giving me that signature Markle nose. I love you xo — Bean.”"

None of it makes any sense. Either the message was completely fake or it wasn't. If it was genuine then why wouldn't she be delighted to introduce Harry. If it was fake then it doesn't say much about Meghan's sincerity.

I've pretty much cut my own father out but I only go and see him to allow him to spend time with my son.
My gripe with my dad is mine, not my child's, I won't allow them to not have contact. When my son's an adult he can make his own opinion of his grandfather, he'll most likely be dead then but at least my son won't be able to say I didn't his grandfather.

You have put your child’s needs first, above your own personal feelings and that’s what parenting is all about
I really admire you

Meghan Markle paid for the photography of Thomas getting a new suit, for the wedding he was never invited to attend.

Not only did you make that up, but TM himself admitted he was the one, with Samantha to do the photoshoot.

TM was part of the inner party of the wedding. Just like PC, HMQ - did they get posted the invites? He was supposed to walk the bride down the aisle. He ghosted her.
He was arranged transport from his home to LAX, a stopover hotel suite in LA, flights, wedding suit fitting in the UK, accommodation, everything with a guide to help him navigate. He stubbornly did not answer calls or txt, because Samantha had told him they could make money from milking the tabloids.

When they were dating H went to the US, and asked if he could meet the parents, only Doria made herself available.

Good for you @Hanidjed7, but I'm sure you can trust your dad around your DC. He will not be selling pictures of him to the tabloids.

Will Charles be selling pictures to the tabloids ?

Thanks.

That's what bugs me about M and H cutting off their families (both sides now). How will Archie and sister feel about a public argument letters to her dad and subsequent interviews. They'll likely resent the fact they weren't able to have some form of relationship with them.

I drive to my Dad's, have a polite coffee and then remember I needed to run an errand and leave my child safely playing with his Grandfather for the afternoon. Because its not about me.

H and M's kids will resent it, Diana didn't get to see her real mother after parents divorce her father didn't allow it, that messed her up apparently. He's not breaking a cycle he talks about - he's just continuing it in a different way!

Sad, very sad, not for them but their kids.

When they were dating H went to the US, and asked if he could meet the parents, only Doria made herself available. How on earth do you know this? And why would this be the case? It makes no sense whatsoever. None.

Meghan's father didn't sell the letter, he made it public because 5 of her friends were trashing him in People magazine. He wanted to tell his side so he went to the MoS.

And it seems he did not learn or care about the fact that MoS would publish choice pieces of the letter just to try and smear his daughter. Not only did he see this, but he carried on colluding with these papers despite knowing that they twist things.
Another parent would have realised their mistake and stay away. The call of money was too much. He even threatened he would go to papers every month.

I wonder if TM was simply struck rigid with fear, at the prospect of travelling all that way and being centre stage at the sheer "spectacle" of a royal wedding.
We can surmise all we like, but we don't know his reasons for dealing with those feelings, if that was indeed the case.

@BranstonBeansAreSuperior, and you "know" this how?

@BranstonBeansAreSuperior

I can see why you feel that way.

H has now been hated by extension because the reasons for hating MM are so flaky and nonsensical, plus those people have been rumbled by the receipts that other royals do the same thing and are not blasted for it. It also doesn't help that H is actually standing by his wife and child.

@CallmeHendricks

So, some of you would cut off your own fathers ( ) for doing a mini photo shoot, yet you think the RF are being unreasonable to be hurt/upset/whatever they're feeling at the absolute annihilation they've subjected to by H&M?

What odd double standards.

Don't be silly. He has done much more than that, literally publicly blackmailed her, with his interveiw every 30 days stuff. Awful man. To be fair my dad was a good man and would never have done anything that would have made me cut him off.

@BranstonBeansAreSuperior nice attempt to derail actual discussion of facts and details and stir up trouble. Not biting!

I believe that was the case, because no way on earth MoS would let that be if it was a lie. I believe evidence was produced as reported in the court papers.

Why does he ghost them though, if that is how he feels. He was assigned someone to help him through the process, he was not interested in meeting that person, he could have just said, ok, I will get my own trusted person to do this with me as well. Instead at that same time, he is busy doing photoshoots.

Problem is also that he was not 'struck with fear' when doing his interviews.
Perhaps he could have told H&M, I cannot walk you up the aisle, maybe a compromise could have been met with, ok you can just show up at the reception with no publicity, or you just do half way walk - like PC did, anything really.

"H has now been hated by extension"

I don't hate him by extension. I don't hate him (or her) at ALL. I don't know them, so how could I?
But I'm not impressed by his actions in recent weeks and I'm disappointed in him - actually, in them both. I thought they were better than this, to be honest. I really wish they would practise what they preach. It would be nice if they could have shown some of this "compassion" they talk about to Harry's family, not to mention Meghan's father, who is clearly not a well man. If nothing else, just imagine what the media will do with it if he were to die whilst they were still estranged. I presume Meghan has thought about that?

I am quite amused that this thread hasn't exactly filled up fast...

Why should it fill up fast?

It's good it hasn't because it means the detractors can't be bothered with it and/or they have no answer to the positive links and news maybe?

Yes, it's all so disappointing. They don't seem to practise what they preach. They're preaching about mental health, and that we should all have compassion, but where's their compassion for TM and PC and W&K.

They could've stepped down graciously and lived a quiet life (where I'm sure papa wouldn't have cut them off financially).
They would have had everyone's respect.

@Samcro agree that the 'interview every 30 days threat' was wrong of him. But that was after Meghan cut him off. I'm interested in what he did before she cut him off to deserve it. Selling stories has been mentioned but I haven't seen any report saying he'd done that before the infamous letter case. If anyone can post links showing he did, that would be helpful.

They actually have a lot of respect from people who realise that it took a lot of guts to come out.

When someone comes out about an abusive situation, are you always thinking about the embarrassment of the the abuser?

'H has now been hated by extension because the reasons for hating MM are so flaky and nonsensical'

I don't know anyone who 'hates' them and on mn all comments have been very reasonable sorry if that doesn't fit your childish 'haters' agenda.

They have behaved appallingly, no thoughts for anyone else's mental health but their own. I pity them, this be 'compassionate but not to your own family' nonsense is blatantly hypocritical.

I wish them well just seriously they need to look in the mirror, try and develop some self awareness and then move on. Yes the rf wouldn't let them be part time senior royals from California. Tough! Get over it.
