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.

There are screencaps on Twitter and Reddit of Mumsnetters posting the N word (typed out in full) in Meghan bash threads circa 2018/2019.

Some of the posters who were giggling and egging it om and clearly relishing seeing a black poster having nr screamed at them - the same posters who deliberately didn't report the N word post for hours to ensure black posters saw it - are on this thread.

And I don't think she's lying either. She has her recollection and other people have theirs.

What about when she said she got married 3 days before her wedding?

When she said a South African actor told her people danced in the streets when she got married just as they did when Mandela was freed?

When she said members of the royal rota used the N word to describe her child?

Except she has not lied, let alone 'repeatedly'.

H&M made their choice to step out of the royal family -- fine, understandable, I've no problems with thar.

They then made their choice to, repeatedly, criticise and bad mouth the royal family & to tell lies about the past.
They keep using their royal titles in the USA because of the status & the money it brings them - hypocritical
They continually contradict themselves

• want privacy but to be high profile at a few specific times,
• want to save the planet but fly all over by private jet & use gas guzzling vehicles

I felt sad for Harry, seeing him travelling alone and clearly distressed. But ultimately that is the path he and Meghan have chosen for themselves.

I’d just point out that Princess Michael of Kent (who reputedly wore a racist brooch) is of German/Austrian/Hungarian descent, and not a Brit. Before marrying into the RF she was a Baroness something or other.
The Queen is said to have commented, ‘Oh, she’s much too grand for the likes of us.’

lol It’s the first time I’ve mentioned her but whatever.

Totally offensive and disgusting. Afros are beautiful and are being embraced in 2022, I see them all the time in London. Whoever made the comment is a racist dinosaur.

But it is your Dh and it is his baby. You obviously come from a place of love.

Camilla is not the parent, and not even the biological grandparent.

I admit I may be biased, given that she was the OW... I would think that generally people who sleep with other married people lack judgement and moral compass.

Why? Unless you think having an afro is a negative thing.

@theveg

People continue to misrepresent what she said and actually take it so literally they make it seem like a lie. Many people in some cultures, including African American cultures, have a non-legal ceremony before the legal one. They consider that the REAL marriage even they it wasn't legal. She didn't lie. People just assumed she lied because they have no concept of vow exchanges that aren't legal being called 'being married'.

How is what she said about the actor a 'lie'? Do you have proof it's a 'lie'?

A member of the royal family did use the N word, Harry has said this. Again, why do you assume it's a 'lie'? Because you personally, don't want to believe it?

I have never seen any proof that Meghan has ever lied about anything. I've only seen spiteful posters accuse her of lying, without any proof themselves.

It's almost not what she has done but how they (both her & Harry) have done things.

She has lied-claiming her kids did not get titles because of their race. Titles they say they have shunned as they want to exit public life.

They say they hate the royals but use this status when it suits them for their own purposes.

All those security concerns which they claim prevented them from travelling appear to be less of a concern now.

They did have a non-legal ceremony three days before the wedding, that's been confirmed. It's very very common for people to have the legal ceremony separate from the celebration, or to have two ceremonies, and to not consider the legal one to be their "wedding" in the emotional sense and in terms of what's meaningful. My best friends had a legal wedding ceremony in a registry office with 2 witnesses a week before their actual wedding and they still consider their non-legal wedding to be "their wedding." So do millions of people.

Do you consider Bob and Rachel Smith from Leicester to be LIARS!!!!!! because they consider something other than their legal ceremony to be their wedding, and celebrate their anniversary on the second date?

Do you get very very very angry that Bob and Rachel Smith dare to celebrate their anniversary not on the day of their legal ceremony?

I've worked in newsrooms, the N word used to get thrown around like confetti. Can you prove absolutely beyond any doubt that no journalist has ever privately called Archie the N word?

That's a lie, she never said that.

If Afros are beautiful (which I agree with) why is using the word racist?

FFS, don't make excuses for her! There's no excuse for racism regardless of where the fuck you come from!

It's singling out Meghan's partial black heritage. Archie will be 1/4 black only--the chances of an afro are low. It's a racist comment.

Yup. Soap opera sleb nonsense.

She's proven herself to be a pathological liar, so nothing she says can now be believed. As you make your bed, so you must lie on it

Meghan has caused a lot of stress and misery for the Queen and RF and will no doubt monetarise the death of the Queen as "content".

I imagine that the only person who actually wants her to be present at the funeral is Harry.

A member of the royal family did use the N word, Harry has said this.

Has he??!!!

you can’t be serious.

eg dark skin is beautiful, but would you like someone speculating that your child will be a darkie?

and then with faux wonder say, what’s wrong with that? My (imaginary) mixed race family said the same and it was obviously out of love...

What makes H&M so special to see the queen on her death bed? What about the 6 other grandkids and their partners. The ones that seen her on a regular basis and showed her love and respect. They never got to go in plane either. She was dying it's not a circus.

@Thesage She hasn't lied about anything at all, let alone a 'pathological'!

'Stress and misery,' really? W

What like Di, Fergie, cheating Charles and paed Andrew?
