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?

Was Archie in the room though?

This is a direct quote from someone present:
"The heater burnt. The house didn't burn. The room didn't burn. I didn't see the fire itself, but I saw the heater when it came out of the room. The plastic was severely melted."

I left my plastic chopping board too close to my gas hob and it melted. There was no fire. The chopping board did not burn. No one has denied that there was not smoke coming from the heater, and that it overheated. That does not mean there was an actual conflagration. And anyway, Archie was not In the room at the time apparently. It was obviously not a good situation, but the heater was unplugged and no actual harm was done. Life is full of such incidents. Most people just thank their stars that nothing bad did in fact occur, and take precautions to prevent a reoccurrence of the incident. They do not give up on their programme of work and wail and moan . Otherwise the world would grind to a halt.

The source is quoted anonymously but the Citizen as the leading South African paper would not quote a source without fact checking and verifying that the source was legitimate.
It's telling that the South African press are supporting Meghan's version of events and confirming that there was a fire.

They weren't present and didn't see a fire. The source wasn't from South Africa but was close to the Sussexes.
However, a source close to the family who spoke to The Citizen on the condition of anonymity.

Why would they only speak if they could stay anonymous? The newspaper knows nothing more than anyone else and is basing their report on a claim of a close friend backing up Meghan's account.

😂😂😂

All I'll say about it is :

H&M must be laughing their socks off. Catnip for the racist media and other bigots.

Kind of reminds me of something that was 'leaked' about H, where he acted dumb but did not say anything much or that most people would not agree with. Got his point across. A Guardian journalist finally said, wtf, is he trolling the media. The story was dropped like a hot potato after that, never to be raised again . lol

You have already posted this and we’re told then the source wasn’t there ( nor was Archie) and they were someone close to the Sussex camp

“A source close to the family” - i.e. Meghan’s office.

Where are you getting that it's H&M's friend. This was the British Embassy, did they bring friends along. What I read is that it was a staff member, surely living in SA which is why the paper could track them.

Probably - or Harry. But I hope you also accept the same applies to other Royals.

A source close to the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has confirmed to The Citizen that there was indeed a fire in her son Archie’s nursery while she and Prince Harry were on a royal tour in South Africa.

According to Scobie

I started reading the article and had to take a break. I just felt embarrassed for both of them.

According to Scobie

I don't think Scobie was personally present in Archie's room, was he?

MM's podcast is No. 1, not because people are interested in what she has to say on women and ambition, but because people are bizarrely gripped by the drama surrounding her and her exit from her own family and the royal family. To pretend that the podcast is at No. 1 because of its own merits is disingenuous.

And I think the green earrings are unpleasant - somehow cruella-like, green for jealousy, something not nice. Whether she intended that or not, I don't know.

I agree and genuinely can't comprehend how people can still defend her actions. Baffling.

Reminded me of the big to do over the emerald tiara and what "Meghan wants Meghan gets!" Not sure if that was the intention.

@StolenWillowTree you are right, you did not post this article before, but someone else did and it has already been discussed. And no one would be dismissing a serious fire in a baby’s room if one had actually taken place. But it didn’t. And no one actually saw a fire, even according to the article you linked.

No. What's baffling is people deciding to dedicate a significant chunk of their daily lives to hating a celeb they've never met who lives in a different country, and obsessively monitoring every single thing that celeb says and does, in other to find hate-material.

It's a bank holiday. I spent most of the day on a beach then having pastries with my friends, and now happily on a train home. You really want to waste an entire day spewing hate online?

It simply wasn't a "serious fire" and presumably even if Archie had been in the room his nanny would have been present too? Would his nanny really have left her charge in a strange room with nothing familiar within minutes of arrival. How was the over heating of the heater discovered? Do we know? Fire alarms most likely. Ridiculous hyperbole.

Me too

And no one would be dismissing a serious fire in a baby’s room if one had actually taken place. But it didn’t. And no one actually saw a fire, even according to the article you linked.

It very very clearly did.

The eyewitness saw the burnt and melted heater. Clearly it was more than just smoke - smoke doesn't make plastic melt!

There's not a single jot of evidence to suggest Meghan just randomly invented a lie about a fire, the only reason you think that is because you're so blinded by obsessive hate you've decided every word out of her mouth must be a lie.

No one has denied that there was a fire except for the weaselly worded Palace Sources who even acknowledged that the heater was smoking, they didn't deny that there was an incident with a dangerous faulty heater. Those Palace Sources were certainly not in South Africa!

Apologies @StolenWillowTree

Yet here you are now 😊.

Personally I went shopping with my daughter, which cost me dear - pink Ugg fluffy sandals 😱 but it is a big birthday coming up for her, and then walked my dog for several hours while watching the outskirts of Notting Hill Carnival - stunning girls wearing beautiful costumes.

As has been pointed out, smoke inhalation is mostly the killer. A 5 month old even worse.

The media pretended nothing happened. It did and it's serious ! Serious as a any near miss. if you have one you don't say ' oh I didn't die then' so all good. You are shook, especially if it's you baby.

If the faulty heater had left plugged in overnight then the fire would not have been caught and stopped so fast and Archie likely would have died. Did the nanny sleep in Archie's room? It's unlikely.

A smoking heater that's malfunctioning badly enough to melt it is extremely dangerous. Most fire deaths are actually caused by smoke inhalation.

I don't think this source is uk based from when they say :

“The British Police guys actually told us ‘guys just leave it as is, don’t talk about this.’”
