Meghan Markle Archetype podcast

[susan12345678]

Meghan's long-awaited podcast has launched. Sorry if there's a thread about this already. Has anyone listened to it yet? Thoughts?

A Housing Unit in the US is government subsidized housing.

MM would certainly not refer to her own house as a housing unit.

But it’s just words. Wouldn’t rate on most people’s radar here to even know this podcast happened.

This may well be the most unhelpful contribution to a discussion ever, but, I read that the ‘trending’ on Twitter can be created by a small number of accounts doing something or other and doesn’t necessarily mean that a huge number of people share that view.

Didn't both the people who broke into the palace go to prison and the kidnap one as well even if 'nothing happened' in the end?

Two men were shot FGS

Someone’s got their pushback lines now, I see. :))

@notanotheroneagain there was no fire. There was a bit of smoke from a heater which was immediately unplugged. Archie was not in the room. It was not a near miss or anything like that. It was a non event. There was no likelihood of smoke inhalation.

no one calls part of a mansion a housing unit, specially not an old thatched ,cape Dutch one!

we say , part of the house, guest wing/floor/.

since this podcast is mostly aimed at the US listeners, saying housing unit is supposed to mean low income housing.

No one was injured when that crossbow guy climbed the walls lately, and when someone went into HMQ's room. Both were prosecuted when they didn't actually do anything. My point being that it's scary and dangerous, anyone should be shook by it.Even if it's a near miss.

The whole world, not just America as shown in the charts.

Even in India it's number 3, where most of the top podcasts are from Indian natives.

housing unit is what it was - just as we call KP 'apartments' and no one bats an eye-lid. People know what it means.

The people that you mention actually committed crimes by acting as they did, notanotheroneagain. That’s why they were prosecuted. Not because people were shook up.

Most of the hashtag you are talking about is driven from royalists, MM haters and bots (all identified by a company that checks). A few people have jumped on the bandwagon to get likes, most are not black South Africans.

Well this is easily checked and I was careful to take that into account when I looked. From what I could see the "top" comments, with the most interactions were definitely South African nationals, with high profiles.

The rest of your assertions rest on that really especially the meaning of "housing unit". The genuine SA nationals I could see had a real problem with it's use.

There was no investigation on the Archie incident, was there ? So don't seeee how anyone would have been blamed for breaking the law. Unless you know different.

@notanotheroneagain

Kennington palace 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what person wrote that 🤣🤣

What on earth is Kennington Palace. Never heard of it 😂

Oh we also talk about housing units in relationship US prisons.

@notanotheroneagain of course no one was investigated over the smoking heater non incident. The people attempting to kidnap princess Anne and breaking in to the palace were prosecuted because attempted kidnaps and breaking in and threat behaviour are against the law….

Royal sources already confirmed that the heater incident happened, and that a faulty heater was smoking.

That's very very dangerous. If it hadn't been caught in time then it would have caught fire.

The fact Archie coincidentally happened to be out of the room is irreverent. The fact is a faulty, dangerous heater was in a baby's nursery. It could have started smoking at any time of the day or night, it could just as easily have started smoking at 1am with everyone asleep, meaning that Archie likely would have been killed or the smoke not caught before it turned into a full blown fire.

I can 100% promise if anyone on Mumsnet started a thread to say "AIBU to be upset that I'm abroad for a work trip with my baby, and an unattended faulty heater in my baby's room started smoking" it would have 100% YANBU rate and probably dozens of comments about how dangerous it is, that the OP should remove her baby, go home, sue the hotel, baby could have died.

Just because it's Meghan and you hate her and everything she does, you're defending a baby being endangered.

I pray none of you have children or are allowed around children.

Just going to repost Meghan’s actual words

“And the moment we landed, we had to
drop him off at this housing unit they had
us staying in"

Dismissive, arrogant , tone deaf.

Oh, sorry my mistake, it seems it's actually no1 in India now. My info is based from earlier reports.

My info based on

housing unit is what it was - just as we call KP 'apartments' and no one bats an eye-lid.

Well, that's because "apartment" and "housing unit" are completely different terms.

I actually do think she could easily have said this innocuously. But I also think that some of the people offended by it may also be genuine, because it does sound like it has negative connotations (unlike "apartment" which I'd say is pretty neutral).

Most of the tweets I have seen are angry that she's added to an already entrenched lazy idea that SA is unsafe, underdeveloped etc

I don't doubt what Nishky said about how the site can be manipulated, but still think the comments were a bit of a risk coming from someone who likes to challenge stereotypes (archetypes? )
There seemed some hope that she might have learned something from all the comments about the Tom Bradby interview given against such a background, but apparently not

To ask again though, has it actually been clarified that they stayed at the mansion - because I honestly thought these things weren't disclosed?

@notanotheroneagain

The document you referenced above referred a number of times to ‘Kennington palace’
do you read things properly before you link ? clearly it’s from some dodgy source, that doesn’t know what it’s talking about -
much like the podcast

Yep!
Exactly.

Apparently it was MM’s heater .
Why it was required in such a hot climate is a mystery .
As parents we have probably all had “ what if” moments but 99.9% of us just get on with life.

She makes it sound like she was staying in a township

This is the content I come here to see:
