@notanotheroneagain we are not hounding you off. But do you really not see through her behaviour? There is a pattern. If not then cool but don’t expect us to all be sucked into her game.

Ndd135632 · 31/08/2022 21:53

@Wheresthebeach Gwyneth had a candle that smelled of her vagina. They don’t think they sound ridiculous no. They are living in a different world to the rest of us.

You're not gonna hound me off the thread. Understand?

I may go off due to rl, now and again, that is it.

I guess we should just ignore you instead.

Kate is too busy in North Norfolk with her husband, kids and parents having family holidays low key with no bodyguards or security

I wouldn't want to assume the bolded bit, Ndd135632. She's the only one of them I've ever spoken with (on a Norfolk beach) and it was fairly obvious who the two guys sitting on a picnic rug a few yards away were

Very discreet though, I'll give them that ...

I'm watching the Diana doc on ITV. What a woman

Kate is too busy in North Norfolk with her husband, kids and parents having family holidays low key with no bodyguards or security. Small boats. Picnic baskets. No fuss. No drama. Go figure.

I'd say there were bodyguards hanging around somewhere, just that they tend to stay low key. Probably not handing out too many backpacks to homeless people etc. etc.

I only learned recently that she dated Ashley Cole and Rory McIlroy before you bagged Harry. She must have been desperate for a celebrity boyfriend to raise her celeb status.

Are you suggesting that Kate hasn't got labels from Etsy for Louis' ferret garden? And isn't handing out cornucopias of home grown pickled fruit? 😱 How very dare you!

Gilmorehill · 31/08/2022 21:59

Erm I made no reference to the podcasts.

People think harry is going to see the light and leave her and start again but I see a lot of my parents marriage in them.

My mother needs her rosy view of herself reflect back to her and luckily she has my father telling her that yes she is right again of course and my father who lost his mother at 7 and has been depressed has strength as one half of a very strong couple (because it's led by my mum). Together they are strong. Even though deep down my mother is very insecure and my father cannot ever be strong on his own, only strong in backing somebody else up.

They've lasted 53 years so far.

Hopeandlove · 31/08/2022 22:00

To be honest if any royal puts themselves in the media people have the right to comment. I freely admit I don’t like any of them. Yes they do stamp out bad press stories and swap them for other unique articles etc

….but Harry was always a knob and protected by the military and the press after Diana. Naked billiards was just lads fun and boys will be boys action. As was drinking or anything else. Harry was deluded thinking he was equal to William - he never was, he was the spare.
the press allowed the image of cheeky Harry who could do people stuff but they are full of yes men and women and deluded that their voice is intelligent and worth listening to.

They have the best education, best medical care, no financial worries , people to squeeze their toothbrush and people then tell them they have a unique voice to change the world.

Harry has interesting morals, he wants to be someone like his mother or the king and he’s not. Research his a levels as you’ll find a complaint by his art teacher upheld that she did his coursework when he was 18 not him.

I loved Meghan when she came on the scene - she made her own money and had her own views etc and she changed him from messing about with his mates.
I had every respect for her. I think he hustled her up the aisle before she discovered that being a princess in rainy England and not being allowed your own views and being seen as a clothes horse is shit - she’d lived in LA and they wanted to pick and choose a role.
Harry wanted the commonwealth ambassador role but was told to sod off as it was Edwards role.
literacy is camilla, art is Kate’s etc they wanted to be patron of the theatre and arts and the problem was he’s a grandson and not in line to the throne so much of what they wanted had already been given out. The queens children outrank her grandchildren
Meghan hated the press and wrongly assumed he was high up in the monarchy - he isn’t. The queen has 4 children and 8 grandchildren of which he is one grandchildren. He won’t ever be king. End of. Shit. He’s not bright, left the military, whining and she wanted back to LA realising she wants a career back.

looking at politics doesn’t matter if you lie - how many did trump tell?

Considering Andrew has £60 million in the bank that Harry inherited off his mum, his grandparents and great gran parents - estimates had her worth £6 million and they whined they couldn’t affford the house. Harry had never paid a bill in his life. It wasn’t he didn’t have any money it was that he didn’t want to spend it. Frogmore he never got a bill it was all paid for. Want it required - fine you tell your secretary or repaint no problem. Meghan will go into politics if she can drum up enough money and support.

I don’t see her as the problem but him. She’s had a dysfunctional
family and thought she had married a family but the royals are as cold as they come and all clambering for position.

I can almost imagine her sitting in her plush chair working on policy or something and him playing candy crush next to her.
he pops in or juggles in the background what man does that when his wife is working - he wants to be seen not her- she’s got a huge problem keeping him occupied

and breathe…..

Ndd135632 · 31/08/2022 22:00

@Puzzledandpissedoff and @Farmageddon yep I am sure there is some security somewhere. I would actually hope so. But it is SO low key. Seriously didn’t see any this weekend on Norfolk beach. Kate stripped to her swimsuit and jumped in the sea. No paps to be found.

They did hand out homemade pasta all beautifully packaged by the children around the norfolk estate during lockdown though….

More like the press are keeping a low profile about them.

If they made as many suppositions and speculations, we would all go on about how they are not discreet and quiet.

MM spoke at OW - what? 2yrs ago, and had a vague mention now on the cut. On podcasts, she was talking about her son (ok, at a UK embassy, but quickly changed the subject and further questions off the agenda).

H spoke at OW, Armchair expect, Apple documentary - all on MH month, and MH related. 2yrs ago.

Tbh, it's not H&M who are whinging and moaning.

FoggyCrumpet · 31/08/2022 22:07

Does she not know how ridiculous she sounds talking about tree roots and salt and pepper shakers? Does she think it sounds deep and philosophical?

The entwined palm tree story is just nauseating. True I'm not a very romantic person, so that sort of thing just leaves me cold. Envy

Anyway, what's so special about a couple of entwined palm trees? I'm on holiday in Exmoor and there's loads of double trees that have grown out of one base all along every walk I go on. I'll have to get a picture when out on my next time.

They are not just any palm trees, Archie now calls them Mamma and pappa

Amrapaali · 31/08/2022 22:11

I read a bit of the old thread but has anyone mentioned the fact that the Cut article's author Alison Davis is black?

It was cringey when in the middle of the interview Meghan tries to co opt the author into some shared racial grievance but Alison shies away from it sharpish.

From whatever I've seen of her public persona, Meghan comes across as very toxic. Or very disingenuous. Neither is a good look.

But some posters here @notanotheroneagain see Meghan only through the lens of race. It's such a crude tool to use to defend someone.

People are getting irritated with Meghan for many reasons. Race is just one of them.

Ndd135632 · 31/08/2022 22:12

she whinges all the time. See South Africa interview. She Oprah. Etc etc. That’s what she spend her life doing. What am I missing ?

Ndd135632 · 31/08/2022 22:14

@CauliflowerCheese30 ha yep. Somebody needs to tell Archie that is called codependence.

Whatiswrongwithmyknee · 31/08/2022 22:15

I'm forever trying to step back and see Meghan in a more positive light because I do believe the press manipulate things. But the number of times she is making vague accusations and complaints against the RF (who I do not support as an institution), in a public forum, now just feels like bullying. We get it, she didn't like that they did not want her to do what she wanted to do. She seems like a very needy woman who can't bear that anyone might not see things her way. But this way of handling it, against people who cannot retort, is not portraying her as the victim. Quote the opposite.

If she wants to try and hone her interview skills then go ahead but she really needs to stop re-hashing old hurts.

“A vague mention on The Cut”. Comedy gold! 😂

I hate to tell you but it’s been around 27 years now and people still talk about Princess Diana on Panorama…

J0y · 31/08/2022 22:19

Meghan needs to allow the public to have their opinion of her and to detach herself from that public opinion and just 'sit' with it and think about who who she is, get on with that and stop trying to ''subtly'' tell the public out we ought to be perceiving her. It's painful.

At kate and william's engagement interview, the interviewer asked kate how she felt about all the headlines saying she was workshy and she said something along the lines of well, so long as she knows she works hard then she can deal with it.

That's a good mindset. What people think of you? It might be right, it might be wrong but you're not up in the dock in need of a defence, you're just free to let people think what they think and if you're comfortable in your own actions then so much the better.

But meghan doesn't get this and it's so so so painfully obvious that this is her biggest problem in terms of ''likeability'' which if she wants to build a brand, somebody should tell her this.
