Feeling sorry for the Duchess of Sussex

[8AndGreat]

It must be so surreal for her to be caught in everything that is happening at the moment. I know H&M are controversial to say the least but they came here to do a feel good tour and are now caught up in everything that's going on. If I were Meghan, I'd travel back to the US to be with my dc and leave Harry with trusted family and aids. It was odd that the Sussexes said they'd both travel to Balmoral and the media now say that King Charles said that Meghan wouldn't be welcome. I can understand why as only close family attendee's Balmoral.

To sum it up, I feel sorry for both Harry and Meghan, I think they are out of their depth. Their autobiography will be interesting.

Except opinion was far more disfavourable before the wedding.

If anything opinion of her has swung from extreme hatred, to disinterest.

Even now, there are nowhere near as many bash threads as there were during the wedding.

During the wedding there were threads accusing her of being a sex worker, calling her a wh*re, calling her the N word, attacking her mother, all sorts. It's far less bad now.

Yeah I don't really follow this stuff normally 😅

Who knows with PR what the truth is.

I do people are obsessed though.

Harry is a human being as is Meghan.

I don’t need to meet her. She makes her opinions very clear based on accusations that don’t bear scrutiny. She’s taken great care never to expose herself to an interviewer who is anything but sympathetic and will take everything she says at face value.

We don't know if she did or didn't want her there. We don't know how the Queen felt about Megs. We don't know if Megs wanted to be there or if Harry or anyone else wanted her there. It's pure speculation. Only the RF knows the ins and outs.

It did air, such as the time Princess Michael of Kent wore a racist brooch to a luncheon with Meghan. I mean, WTF does something like that in this day and age?! I don't doubt MM did experience plenty of racism inside Palace walls.

i think a lot of racism gets excused and hidden by attacking the person experiencing racism.

apparently it is worse to talk about racist abuse than actually receiving it!

people should always be welcome to talk about the sexism and racism and other isms they experience. Sunlight is the best disinfectant

@NancyDrooo I wonder if this will persuade her to forgive her father? After all, what is he supposed to have done that she hasn't done herself. He was manipulated by the media and attempted (but failed) to manipulate them. Then he learn his lesson by not revealing the letter she had written with its revelation in mind. Really seems to me that she is annoyed with him for the same things she's done. Hope she gets some wisdom and makes up with him.

It's possible, of course, that Meghan was originally going with a view to paying her respects to the Queen, but then changed her plans when it became clear that they wouldn't get there in time in any case.

So if you don’t assert the woman is correct in every scenario, you’re a misogynist? You’re weakening its meaning by throwing it around like that.

She's also the same Royal overheard in a restaurant saying blacks should go back to the colonies.

'How can you have over 250 articles in one day from one tabloid about one woman?'

Which tabloid is this please?

That was very sinister and foreboding.
I have no doubt the establishment reeks of racism. It was what the empire was built on.

They were at the wedding. Two of her mother's relatives were filmed at the wedding. Posters on LipstickAlley screencapped them and identified them by comparing them to photos from Meghan's old Instagram.

The press never printed their names because they decided to attend privately, without their names being announced to the press. So to anyone watching, they are just two random unnamed black people walking into the Abbey.

Remember only a small fraction of the wedding guests have ever been publicly identified. There is no full wedding guest list anywhere the public has access to. Even the list on Wikipedia only lists maybe a quarter of the people who were there.

Opinions in the UK of MM have swung from favourable to unfavourable due to her behaviour.

People judge by actions not words.
MM sets herself up as Princess of Kindness and Compassion but there are sadly no actions that match this.

Yet you don't judge the queen for her family supporting and benefiting from colonialism, the commonwealth and slavery but you are here praising the RF - how does that work exactly?"

Have you lost your grip on reality darmarka?
Why would you accuse me of judging or not judging the Queen and praising the RF when I have expressed no opinion at all on either subject? What is your agenda here?

The woman was racially fucking abused by the press and by all accounts members of the royal family.

Some sections of the press I'll give you.

But

"By all accounts members of the royal family" - really? REALLY???

Btw, I'm a republican and would get rid of the whole lot of them in the blink of an eye so no-one come at me with accusations of loving the RF.

Many posters on here in AIBU who are estranged from both their and their husband's families, @NancyDrooo , what's your point? And the lie that she has become estranged from 'several of her closest friends' is that, a pathetic tabloid lie with no foundation.

Nothing to add, bravo!

I wonder if H and M might be booed when they turn up at the funeral.

I mean every single person living in this country also benefits from those things whether or not they're ignorant enough to recognise it though is another thing.

I don't have any issues with Meghan but don't see why anyone would be feeling sorry because she didn't go to Balmoral in the Queen's final hours. She barely knows her. It was her final hours. The priority is to try and get those closest to her there to be with her and not dilute that with worrying about others. Kate also wasn't there.

On the contrary, Yellowtreehouse was automatically assuming the woman was the bad one, by default and that Harry was a victim of the 'manipulative woman' and will divorce her. Hence my comment.

I just wish they'd get on with their lives. They don't want to be working Royals, fine. Just stop trying to carve a new career on the back of fanning the estrangement

Absolutely this.
I assumed that when they went to Canada, it would be to buy a Ranch somewhere, and live in a remote part of that beautiful Country..The House they stayed in looked beautiful, so something like that should have been fine.

Harry, I feel could be happy living in a remote area, but not his fame hungry missus.

Selling ''Bomb~Shells'' to make a living is pretty pathetic, especially as the RF cannot answer back.

Harry during an escapade in Gloucestershire/Wilts borders as a teenager had the locals not ''Selling stories'' about him.

They absolutely could have, people were asked to ''Name your price'' for a juicy bit of gossip..The people asked were teenagers , but they had 'honour'.

Something Harry and his missis could perhaps learn from.

Blabbing for money is never a good look.

can someone please clarify if what a pp said is true?

I think pp said that Harry mentioned it was Camilla who said potentially racist things about Archie?

William and Charles didn't fly together and even had the unthinkable happened, Harry and his are well down the batting order.

Exactly. That was blatant – you can only imagine the amount of insidious comments made behind closed doors.

That doesn't mean I like the way MM operates and the stress her actions must've caused the Queen. She and PH left the RF nearly three years ago and they're still bitching about how awful it was because they've since discovered they are only marketable if they paint themselves as the great escapees. Time to move on and embrace the life they claim they want to have.
