Positive thread on Meghan again

1000 replies

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.

Used to think I would like a few chickens until a friend got some and didn't fox proof sufficiently. The carnage over the space of a week was quite disturbing!! Poor things.🐔🐔

'Yes, I liked the rescue chickens too. Chickens are such daft creatures'

They are! Oh god imagine if they did shine lights on the meat industry, I'd have to swap sides..

No you wouldn't you'd call it flip flopping.

So predictable !

Oh awful. I think that happened to a neighbour of ours, and I wonder if that's how the cockerel met it's demise.

Because one morning it was waking me at 5am and next day it wasn't Shock

@ChiefInspectorParker

When I see something praiseworthy I will acknowledge it! I do really like the fact that they have rescue chickens. Chickens are lovely animals. Perhaps M&H having chickens will help highlight poor treatment of chickens in the meat industry, and encourage people to think they could rescue some of their own. That would be great!

'would just like once... a well known poster to say... actually that was a nice move of hers, or that was interesting she did it well. Anything!'

I think her plan to shine a light on causes is a nice move of hers. It's everything else unfortunately that spoils that, detracts from the causes. The Africa tour being a prime example.

I just think neither of them are very self aware, they are typical of gaslighting deluded people who claim it is everyone else who is so wrong. They really do need to go on a retreat and have some me time away from Spotify and podcasts and the media who they loathe when everyone else is dishing the dirt but love when they get to do it.

The Africa tour was what made me support her.

@Roussette

You don’t know MM and you like her

I have never said I like her. I imagine I might if I met her. My feelings about her come from the unfair press and slating she gets continually.

I hate any negative press when it's unwarranted and unfair whoever the person is.

I agree. But that would only count if they kept their heads down and stuck by their own plea for privacy

But the difference is they invite negative press when they do high profile interviews and give their own negative opinions on things and people, they are happy to have the press when it's promoting something they want to promote. I think other celebrities who genuinely don't want press attention or negative press keep their heads down and are very private except when they are promoting a film or something. They know that with that not everything will be positive.

SueSaid · 16/05/2021 14:26

'The Africa tour was what made me support her.'

Was it? Surrounded by some of the most poorest, vulnerable and abused people they talked about their struggles and said 'no one asked if I was ok'. There's a time and a place and Africa was not it imo.

Roussette · 16/05/2021 14:27

Even when they have kept their head down, it doesn't stop. I remember hen they were in Canada, there was a 6 week/2 month period when they were actually moving. No one knew. They'd been in their house a couple of months before it became public knowledge.

Did the press stop in that period? No. The press over here started regurgitating stuff from the past becaue they were desperate for the clickbait.

Even if they keep their head down, it does not stop.

CallmeHendricks · 16/05/2021 14:28

"'The Africa tour was what made me support her.'"

Really? The Africa was what made me think again about her. WTF were they thinking, letting that go out? It had all been going SO well up to the point of that Tom Bradbury interview (if you discount Harry's stroppy rudeness towards journalists covering the trip).

Lucaslucas1612 · 16/05/2021 14:29

@Mummy194

As soon as the one year extension ended, everyone who has worked with MM in the past came out to testify what a nice person she is. From co stars to producers to make up. I even remember a wardrobe person saying she was lovely on twitter. The creator of The Wire has nothing to gain from praising MM, he always tells it like it is, and never sucks up to anyone, but even he had only nice things to say about MM.

One colleague said recalls MM instinct, when she was driving and had to make an abrupt stop. She said MM instinctively put her arm out to stop the friend from lunging forward and hurting herself.

Andrew Mortimer said he went to live in LA for a while to research writing his book on her. He was getting all positive stories, he even put up posters and adverts all over the place asking people to come out with negative stories on her and he would pay. He says no one came out with any negative story at all.

This is why the smear against her feels so forced.

I don't think she's a nasty person. I just think her actions go against what she says a lot of the time and she doesn't have much self awareness.
CallmeHendricks · 16/05/2021 14:32

I don't think either of them are nasty people, although I do think Harry has shown an unfortunate side to his character, expressing all these hurtful opinions to the whole world. He must be aware of the damage and upset it is causing to his family.

I wish they would both learn to read the room. In the midst of a global pandemic, how can he think it appropriate to complain about his privileged upbringing. I'm not saying he might not have cause for some resentment in certain quarters, but I just CANNOT see how telling the world about it is going to help in any way whatsoever.

bluebell34567 · 16/05/2021 14:33

there were news that she threw coffee to a staff.

bluebell34567 · 16/05/2021 14:35

it was during Australia tour.

Isn't that a bit patronising? Do you know what they thought or how M&H interacted with them? Africa isn't just about poverty and I'm sure those people don't want your pity.

@myotherusernameisonholiday

I haven't seen the other (hopefully positive) threads, was not on them nor have written anything mean about any member of the royal family.

I genuinely do not understand why people jump on this particular bandwagon of negativity toward M&H. Hundreds of thousands of people went to Windsor to wish M&H well on their wedding day, 3 years ago. For a person (H) born into a life where you have privilege, yes, but your freedom of choice does not exist, he has done a remarkable job of trying to regain some control over his life, with the support of his wife. Why is that something that people have taken umbridge to? This thread isn't the place to discuss this really, it's a place to show support, what so bad about that?

I don't think people have taken against them because of that. I quite liked her and first and thought she was a breath of fresh air for the RF. I thought it was fair enough they wanted to leave etc and thought the press had been horrible to MM. It was their actions during the SA tour, during the COVID crisis and once they moved which put me off them.
amusedtodeath1 · 16/05/2021 14:57

I had so so many arguments with people online defending MM. Her Sister, her Dad, all the nasty racist stuff it was just so unfair and I couldn't see that she had done anything wrong. It was awful but there was also a large proportion of people who felt like me also.

I didn't start out disliking (I don't do hate) anyone, I'm very pragmatic about the human condition, no one is all good or all bad, but I didn't/don't blame the RF for any of the nastiest and racism aimed at MM. They did release statements condemning the racism, I remember it quite clearly.

I believe her MH suffered badly throughout all this, tbh I can't see how it could not in those circumstances.

On the other hand I do believe that her MH issues might have manifested itself in such a way as to make her behave in ways that affected the MH of those around her, I still don't see how this is the RF fault. I see people hurting people hurting other people.

Harry, well I've always had a soft spot for him. I was horrified that they walked behind Diana's coffin, it was too much for any child to handle. I always thought that one day one or both of them would have some real grievances to air about their Mum, the press and their father and their upbringing. How could you go through all that and not have issues.

We all have issues, we all treat people badly at times, we all have our reasons.

I really don't blame them for wanting out of the RF, but I blame them for focusing on the bad stuff for way too long, for bringing it up over and over, it's not healthy, especially because it hurts other people who also have issues just like them.

I blame them for having little compassion about the pain this is causing to grieving members of their family. I blame them because they haven't been fair or totally honest about their narrative. I blame them because they are quick to point out others mistakes whilst ignoring their own.

I don't hate them or wish them any harm, I just hope they come to terms with their pain quickly and can move on.

Roussette · 16/05/2021 15:02

8there were news that she threw coffee to a staff*

And that came from the lowest of the pondlife gutter press. BG I think it was or an equivalent. I do not believe it.

What a strange thing to post on a positive thread Hmm

CallmeHendricks · 16/05/2021 15:11

I don't believe the coffee-throwing allegation either.

CallmeHendricks · 16/05/2021 15:12

Eh? My post said nothing about poverty in Africa or pitying the people there.

Yes, it did, because it showed how vulnerable she was, and how HUMAN she was, and rich or poor, you don't stop being human, so the 'oh but the poorest in Africa' bs as a criticism is petty and unreasonable. Perhaps because people weren't used to that raw emotion, especially the uptight British people. It's clear she hadn't thought about it, and it was an automatic and raw response to a question, and she was genuinely touched and affected. She shouldn't be judged harshly for that. If people's pain is not 'well judged' by other human beings, then those other human beings need to take a good hard and long look at themselves.
