Meghan Markle Archetype podcasts & interviews

[susan12345678]

As the last thread filled up & there's plenty of discussion of Meghan's interview in The Cut, seems worthwhile starting a new thread!

A read yesterday that a series of media interviews are planned to promote the podcasts. Should be very interesting if The Cut interview is anything to go by!

I wonder if she’s reached that stage of celebrity when nobody around you will tell you you’re wrong or criticise anything you do. It’s a dangerous and unhealthy place to be.

Isn't this what happened to Elvis?

I actually do believe that she believes all her spiel. I know people like this. They talk except in therapist speak. They are always triggered and constantly talking about joy and authenticity and being themselves, while being extremely unjoyous and uanauthentic.

I haven't read the full thread but I know this is the thread to attack Meghan . I won't be joining that attack. BTW all of you attacking H and M - your fear is palpable .
And if you are a royalist, you are right to be worried .

I am fascinated with how she has challenged the whole 'royal' facade and look forward to the real shit show starting when the queen dies.

They haven't said anything yet . We know the 'royals ' are racist that wasn't news .
Much more to come .

You can never imagine her having a laugh with a group of friends.

I meant they talk ONLY in therapist speak.

You can only judge people on their actions. That is the only fair way.

And as I have said before: anyone who gives tell all interviews about their own family is a self serving arsehole. See also people who only talk about themselves and other people rather than discussing ideas, concepts and interests.

The hypocrisy also grates. If they had been honest with us from the beginning: ‘we want to be celebs on our own terms and have more control over our work and how we sell ourselves as a brand’ then I would have a lot more respect for them.

But I find it hard to listen to a woman who brags about her celebrity connections and makes public digs at other people (like some sort of Love Island reject) while also wanting to be taken seriously as a feminist. Especially when her most well known achievement is marrying well.

I am not a royalist. I am not white. I am a former colonial subject. I despisethe Royals and think Meghan was badly treated by the press.

I can still recognise absolute narcissism and a very poor decision when I see it.

To be fair, theres quite a lot thats been supressed and removed from the internet about Meghan Markle and her past history before she married into the RF and even more about Harry, so I should imagine that they might be more inclined to hold fire themselves rather than opening the floodgates...

I have a member of my family who I imagine she is probably very like:

She talks in a very soft and gentle way but she gives zero ground or room to other people's feelings.
She very politely states exactly what she wants, what she will and won't do and what she expects. And she expects a lot.

It's very disarming, as initially it seems like admirable assertivness, and you want to be reasonable and supportive to the requests but over time you realise that the relationship is all one way, you have to comply or be cut off and there is never any compromise.

I've seen this play out over and over in their relationships and it's fascinating to see how disoriented people become in not knowing how to deal with the seemingly nice insistence on total compliance.

How do we know if this is true?

Does she have any old, long standing, non celebrity friends? From her childhood and teens?

At a wedding of 100s to have only had one family member there was very odd.

I wonder how close she is to her mum? That feels like quite a distant relationship. But maybe it's just the one area of her life she actually keeps private?

Probably isn't. We don't need to dig up dirt on Meghan. We can judge her by her current words and actions.

Gosh, what a posse of parasites.

I know someone like this too. She makes other peoples lives a misery. She completely dominates her husband and treats her mother in law appallingly. All with a sweet, reasonable modulated voice.

Her claim that somewhere in the British Press the N word was used in relation to her little boy is the most extraordinary thing.

We all missed this!? I don't think so. Even if it had happened somewhere in an unofficial YouTube news channel or on a social media post there would have been an absolute outcry.

There is a section of the US press that has a real down on Britain, so she obviously thinks this will play well there. It would be interesting to know if she really believes it though.

The thing that really saddens me is the rift between William and Harry. They spent 30 odd years having one another’s backs and now they’re not even speaking. The mum they both loved so much would have been heartbroken.

She is being badly advised by all the PR agents lining their pockets by her

TBH I've no more time for this justification than I have when the RF try it, because once again it seeks to place the responsibility onto someone else

I accept that Meghan may have needed advice when among the RF - after all any normal person attempting to join it would - but not now that she's back among the general milieu she knew for years

If anything it may well be Harry who neeeds the advice now, but whether he's getting it, or listening to it if he is, is anyone's guess

I feel sorry for Charles too. He’s a damaged character and he treated Diana appallingly, but he’s tried hard to be a good and loving father. He doesn’t deserve not to know his grandchildren and be ostracised by his son.

The only people he may listen to now are old friends.

This accusation has not gone down well in the British press. They are absolutely furious. But it is typical of the woman to cast a vague accusation without evidence in the hope that mud will stick. If she has specific evidence she should show it.

@StickywithSuncream
*Has it ever struck you just how many people around Meghan have been ostracised and denigrated by her?

Her father and his side of the family

Harry’s family

Royal staff
Her erstwhile best friend.

Staff on foreign trips
Press (ok, I’ll give you that one)

And so it goes on.

Either she has been incredibly unlucky, repeatedly, in her choice of friends, staff and BOTH families..... OR the common denominator here is her.

Which is most likely, do you think?*

There is a third option, which is that many former colleagues and current friends HAVE sided with her, testified to her character and said how generally pleasant, thoughtful etc she is. Her ex husband hasn’t uttered a word but must have been offered £££ to do so.
Honestly people will find what they go looking for. I find them both a bit irritating but I can’t stand the demonising of her and the willing for the marriage to fall apart/ for H to be miserable and this ridiculously rigid and dichotomous thinking that everyone falls prey to.

What's a power desk, please?

I wonder when that gormless idiot Harry will wake from her spell?

I find it fascinating that for Meghan & some people it’s perfectly fine for her to put her side forward, however, when it’s her father doing similar he’s cursed to the heavens. Fascinating as I say.

Let’s not forget that Meghan has such a platform because of who she married.

I think they would have been better off saying that we love the family bond but there were cultural differences & difficulties rather than outright victimhood. People would have understood & respected that.

They could have gone their own way & attended royal events as a family. I think that may have worked better for them in the long run. But time will tell.

Her claim that somewhere in the British Press the N word was used in relation to her little boy is the most extraordinary thing
We all missed this!? I don't think so

Quite
I mentioned this myself on the last thread, and as you suggest there'd have been hell to pay and rightly so

As also said, I don't like scattergun accusations of something so serious without detail attached, so will look forward to being told when this happened in order to avoid concluding that she's lied once again

How can any Sussex supporters seriously keep bleating the same old racist accusations when it is their behaviour including interviews, podcasts, books oversharing their perceived slights that are the problem. Not the colour of her dm's skin

Because it's a hugely effective weapon, which nearly always works and they will not give it up lightly. These threads are useful in that it is often pushed back on - everyone should do so though - and Meghan's horrible behaviour speaks for itself so on lookers are able to see how ludicrous such accusations increasingly become. It's a slow process though.
