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.

Yes - potentially they selected for themselves a very poor obs/gyn team if they're unable to spot a depressed patient. It's their job to point towards help as common in anyone's pregnancy to become overwhelmed with life in general and the changes that having children will bring to life (even if you're not busy trying to set up Netflix deals at the same time and trying to negotiate half-in/half-out, which would take up a lot of emotional energy too). Remember they were only working royals for 18 months and pregnant for 9 of those, so not too long really.

All of which makes it difficult to understand how Harry can speak and advise people on MH issues
Will he just talk through his own issues and concern or will he have anything to offer in a way that will help people know where to seek help?

I noticed that Harry appears more confident and happy within himself.
Meghan and Archie have brought him happiness and he seems to have a purpose in life. Previously, he had had appeared to be lacking in direction . Meghan has been very good for him in my opinion
Hopefully, in the future he can patch things up with his brother

[quote smilesy]@mummy194. Are you saying that women who suffer antenatal depression don’t ever feel suicidal? Are you belittling the expertise of a qualified obgynae to be able to at least spot the signs that someone under their care is in severe mental distress? Would she then not be able to refer them to someone else if necessary? Is she not an approachable person that a pregnant lady would feel they could talk to? This is a health professional that Meghan had access to. But, no she goes to the palace HR that deals with staff, not members of the family. As pp said, I’m not saying she wasn’t in distress, I’m saying that she and indeed Harry as her loving husband could have got help.[/quote]
Wether her Ob/gyn saw or not is not the issue. She needs to make a reference, she cannot do the treatment herself.

Let alone the NHS, even when you are private, you will be referred, but your medical aid company has to approve it, if they don't, it simply will not be done. That is the whole point. The company that signs it off (the palace) were not approving of this treatment.

And no, she cannot go to the charities they champion because they are there to serve the public not them. They have to get approval for that too. If you work for the council/government , you don't just pop up at the charities without approval.

@Gorgeouslilgirl

Whatever your leanings, it is distasteful to talk about another persons MH issues iwith anything but compassion.

If you don’t have compassion, it is best to say nothing at all.

Absolutely. Can we ignore the naysayers and focus on the positive things?

Tbh- it’s a real shame that they had to leave the UK. I think that they would have been fantastic for the Royal Family
I am not a royalist ( I do admire the Queen’s sense of duty). However, I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Meghan and Harry blossom and the subsequent marriage.

@Lampzade

Just saw that picture of H for this latest venture with Oprah on AppleTV and he does indeed look sun kissed and healthy. Looks really happy.

H was a hard worker with great charisma to begin with, but with MM on the science, I think his positive traits were more pronounced.

I presume my post was deleted for repeating part of a deleted post? I’m sorry, I didn’t realise I had done that. I still want to say as per the rest of my post thought that charities are there to help anyone and they would not turn you away if your are a member of the RF or a supporter or contributor to them in any way. That is nonsense. You are still a human being.

You may be human, but you still have to get permission.

You know very well it would be spread all over the front covers, that MM is using her Royal connection to benefit herself.

But she wouldn’t be using her royal connection if the same benefit it available to everyone. She wouldn’t need to. Charities do not discriminate and are also confidential. Why do you need permission to get help? And why would it be denied?

If Meghan asked anyone for help and was turned away it is a huge issue
Any doctor or midwife involved would be subject in a serious investigation with repercussions for their registration.
If it was a member of staff the same investigation would need to take place - I am assuming this wasn’t a junior member of staff.
This is such a serious allegation I think it needs a full and frank investigation .
How else can the people involved clear their name or be disciplined or retrained.
I am sure Meghan would want that
Let’s have the truth either way

Can we ignore the naysayers and focus on the positive things?
sadly these threads always go the same way. people can't seem to help themselves.

@Lampzade totally agree - could we ignore those trying to derail the thread with negativity and bashing again. They have plenty of threads to do that.

[quote Mummy194]H&M have donated hats to be distributed to the homeless in New Zealand. For Archie's 2nd birthday.

Just watched the video and what lovely baby items in the pack. I can image how a new mother in a refuge must feel to receive such quality made items for their newborn

@Lockupyourbiscuits

Fully agree, a proper probe into all the allegations should be investigated. Surprised this is viewed as a 'private' matter, when we have a statement about her alleged bullying being investigated formally.

I am sure pressure groups will give HMQE a bit of space, but I hope they put pressure on everything to be investigated. MM friend said they have receipts, and I believe she does.

Loved the merino wool beanie hats, they looks so sweet

They are quite good quality aren't they. Handmade warm hats. Here is the video on 'Our Story' from their website where they explain how they make the hats.

mixed feelings though, upsetting when they shrink, but so incredibly perfect, tiny and cute it almost makes up for it almost.....

Similar story a friend bought me a lovely cashmere jumper as a birthday gift. I washed it without thinking - it now looks like a dress for my 3 year old niece. 😩

@Cacacoisfarraige

Gosh, I think we have all done this at some stage or other.

I did it with DH jumper that I grabbed quickly. The same with a lovely precious jumper for DS. 😂
I soaked it in hair conditioner, but it did not come out big enough. I did however sell in on eBay at a really knock down price for a newborn (it was originally for a 3yr old) - I had thoroughly explained what took place of course, but someone thought it would do, and sent me an appreciative message after.

H&M were highlighting a time when they were following protocol at the palace and were blocked from seeking help.

Let alone the NHS, even when you are private, you will be referred, but your medical aid company has to approve it, if they don't, it simply will not be done. That is the whole point. The company that signs it off (the palace) were not approving of this treatment.

These statements (and many of the others by the same poster) are absurd.

You really think that Harry and Meghan couldn’t afford to call a psychiatrist and pay them privately. I could do that if I needed to and my bank balance is considerably lower than Harry’s millions.

One of Diana’s best friends is a psychotherapist - you might have thought she’d tossed Harry a freebie if his wife was suicidal.

The desperation to justify all the inconsistencies that don’t support the story Mummy195/4 has created for herself must be exhausting.

@LittleBearPad
You must be exhausted from going around the same point over and over. I already explained it was not about money or who they know.
