I've seen a clip on Instagram where a group of women completely blanked MM when she spoke to them. It was awful to watch.
I feel so sorry for her, she didn't deserve that at all.
I saw another clip where someone had asked her for a hug, she obliged and when they hugged she really held the member of public and closed her eyes, it looked as if she really needed that hug .
No wonder she ran away from the UK

Didn't she say that was the actual proper wedding?

No, she said 'we got married'. Maybe that's when she felt married to Harry, when they exchanged private vows that they didn't want to share with the world. I'm not big on weddings, I just don't think she deserves the vitriol she gets for something so innocuous.

No female joining the RF has ever had an easy ride from the press.
Duchess of Pork
Waity Katie
Diana was portrayed as a sloaney clotheshorse until she died.

True. Actually Diana was portrayed as worse. An American newspaper had to apologize for a headline calling her sex-mad that was on their stands when she died.

Kate only got a reprieve from being branded a workshy social climbing doormat when Harry got engaged to Meghan.

in the supermarket in amongst all the messages of condolence for the Queen was a magazine with Meghan’s face on the cover and a tagline about her dishing new dirt on the royal family. Appreciate it was published before the Queens passing but still - it puts her behaviour in context

Because it isn't a fucking wedding, is it? Therefore it is a lie. Jesus!

She might see it as her wedding, and obviously that's fine, but she said in that interview that they 'got married' and implied that the wedding at Windsor Castle was meaningless legally and that the AofC had lied.

Look, if you want to believe that the highest ranking Archbishop in the land conducted a secret wedding for Meghan Markle because she called him up and asked him, and conducted a false wedding in front of the whole world, then knock yourself out tbh.

Incorrect. The DM quoted an actor saying this who wasn't even at the premiere on purpose to discredit her. This has being covered on other threads and there is footage of her deep in conversation with I think it is the composer who was the one that said this.

The wedding thing has been covered and explained too

Meghan said the following in The Cut article:

“During the 2019 London premiere of the live-action version of The Lion King, a South African cast member pulled me aside. He looked at me, and he’s just like light. He said, ‘I just need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison.’”

John Kani was the only South African cast member. He did not attend the Lion King premier. A South African composer (Grammy winner Lebohang Morake, who goes by the professional name Lebo M) was at the premier. He has gone on the record saying he did indeed speak to Meghan and Harry at the event. He went on to say they spoke for "less than a minute" and he did not recall discussing Nelson Mandela, but he did say (to Meghan) that "everyone in South Africa has heard of you".

The video of this meeting is on YouTube. Nelson Mandela is not mentioned.

There are some who dislike Megan because she refused to accept bullying. I say good for her. California is much nicer than England.

I'm guessing none of us on here have any insider information, so we are all going on hearsay. Therefore I would suggest that there are plenty of indications that Meghan can dish it out as well as take it. Lots of staff members allocated to her felt very bullied and pressured and some resigned.

You don't have to be a psychologist to see that Meghan, with her background in the film industry and her independent mindset, would find it impossible to fit into the RF. I blame her for not being more aware of this, but mainly her dim, besotted husband who should have explained it to her. Her role demands that she defer to the monarch and then to Kate...and you can imagine how well Meghan would enjoy that. There's a scene where she's exiting Sandringham church on Christmas morning, and, oh boy, the look she gives Kate, who by protocol has to precede her, was something to behold. If looks could kill!

I don't buy the poor little bullied woman act. She got into something she couldn't hack. Good luck to both of them as long as they stop dissing this country on international TV, and making cheap, unsubstantiated allegations about teasingly unnamed people.

She's never going to fit in and it's nothing to do with her ethnicity.

The sort of people who are gathering in crowds because of the queen's death are freaking weirdos anyway. If i was her i wouldn't be bothered what those mindless sheep think about her.

Megan hasn't done anything wrong. If Harry really wanted to remain part of the royal family, he would have. If she was only after status and money, she would have persuaded him to stay. To me that says she wanted to be with him for him, not because he was a prince.

Plus, we all have the right to speak our truth about things that have happened. If she's been treated badly, she's allowed to talk about it. If he wants to talk about his life as a royal, he's allowed to do that. Whether it upsets people and they have to face that those who have been put on a pedestal for generations may not be perfect in every respect. Tough. Times are changing.

Its fucked up that people are more bothered about her than they are Andrew.

I don't care if MM is pink, white, blue, black, brown or yellow, or all of them with spots on.

Ever notice how black and brown people never use the pink/yellow/blue phrase? It's only white people that seem to come out with this contemptuous, condescending guff.

As a WOC, who is much, much darker than Meghan, I usually use the expression sky blue pink with yellow polka dots!

Unfortunately, Meghan is a divisive person; some of it stems from the awful, awful lies she told and keeps telling and some stems from, I think, jealousy.

I also feel that it's important to remember the circumstances that HMTQ came to the throne in. She was never supposed to be Queen! Her uncle abdicated for a divorced American Catholic. People over a certain age, both in the UK and the Commonwealth have, for at least the past 10 years if not longer, been told that the reason HMTQ refused to give up the throne was because of the stigma around the abdication and also the vows she took when she was 21 to serve the people selflessly.

So, against this backdrop arrives another divorced American! I personally don't think that Meghan faced anything worse than Kate faced and for a lot longer!

However, people did start to find it strange when her father suddenly started acting in a bizarre way, her half siblings weren't invited to the wedding and the only family member that she could dredge up was her mother. It also later came to light that she had actually spent more time living with her father than her mother, during her high school years.

Then came the whole "I grew up so poor" motif. Actually not true. Her father sent her to a very nice school and supported her through her degree so she didn't rack up student loans.

My last point is this. Recently, Meghan said that she had never known what it was like to be treated as a black woman in today's society. I found that interesting considering that all we've heard from her is about the racism she's had to endure. I'm also a little shocked that she would admit such a thing, having gone so hard almost, to prove her "blackness".

Essentially, Meghan was saying that she had something that most POC only have when slapping Factor 50 SPF on. She had (white/is she or isn't she) privilege. According to her, in her Archetypes podcast, she only started understanding what it might mean to be black when she started dating Harry. And yet, she has been vocal about how she was poor (a lie), how she was treated differently (a lie) and how she wants to be a role model for young women of colour.

The problem is, she doesn't know what we faced as young girls, growing up in a predominantly white society!

And those are some the reasons I feel that Meghan is so divisive.

Actually Lebo said: "Indeed I was at The Lion King 2019 premier and met the Royals. I cannot comment on the matter as it was three years ago and I don’t remember details of that conversation which was less than a minute, except the Royals were going to South Africa or Botswana.'

Maybe he just doesn't remember saying it but he did say it, or more likely he is embarrassed at saying it, given Mandela's fight against white tyranny.

Maybe she did this to protect her mental health, so she could act her way through the circus wedding that is a Royal wedding. Seriously give the woman a break......all this scrutinizing, trying to find a crack to attack her by. Racist Misogyny.

i also heard the rumour that they wanted to go and greet mourners with their netflix show to be filmed

charles got wind of this and said no you can come with william and kate to windsor or nothing

🤣 Where did you hear this rumour?

Serenster · 12/09/2022 16:14

Have you considered the fact that maybe one of the non south african cast members said it and meghan mistakenly believed they were south african. Or that it was said to her on another occasion and she has misremembered who said it.

she must be lying is an illogical thing to presume.

Given that the receiving line for the movie premiere was conducted in public, with the meetings and conversations on camera, we do actually know who she met and what they said to each other (it’s how we know that Harry told the CEO of Disney that his wife was available for voiceover work, if they were interested). Also, given the movie was completely CGI with a voice cast, rather than actors on location, it was a small cast (and a smaller number at the premier) with a very limited number of people she could have been thinking of.

I admit jumping to the viewpoint that this never happened and she made it up is not the first thing you would think of. But when it’s such an incredibly self-aggrandising thing to recount, and when it can actually quite easily be established that no-one said this to her at that event, it looks like it’s yet another event where Meghan’s truth and the actual truth don’t coincide.

CulturePigeon · 12/09/2022 16:18

Yupsuuuure

Plus, we all have the right to speak our truth about things that have happened. If she's been treated badly, she's allowed to talk about it. If he wants to talk about his life as a royal, he's allowed to do that.

Don't know about a right, but if we're mature and intelligent, we will use our discretion because there are always consequences, particularly to innocent parties.

Yuk! 'My truth' -what a nauseatingly narcissistic expression!!! Can't believe people fall for it.

You CAN say what you like in life up to a point, but don't expect those you've villified irresponsibly on international TV to welcome you back. Their choice. He is dim and she is utterly self-promoting.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 12/09/2022 15:46

I do not have to copy and paste anything

You're quite right LadyKenya, you don't - but as with the inevitable accusations of racism, it helps with the credibility if people can back them with further detail of what's actually been said or done

... something which Meghan herself might do well to remember

See this is the thing. Black people are always being asked to provide examples of racism. I just did in my other post. It will be ignored though, unsurprisingly . It is an ongoing situation. Are posters asked to provide examples of sexism, I have never seen posters asking for proof of that, it is just widely accepted that sexism exists.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 12/09/2022 16:23

We all have the right to speak our truth about things that have happened

Short of a few banned things we all have the right to speak whatever we want - though you wouldn't think so sometimes on here

However if we insist on using "our truth" instead of the truth we can hardly be surprised if others point out the difference

There’s leaving the UK and there’s leaving the uk and going on Oprah to accuse them of all sorts knowing they cannot reply. I think you’ll find her reception was more to do with her choices after leaving the uk, not what caused her to leave.

Exactly this
She's made her bed she's now lying In it

Meghan has basically trashed the UK called us racist took 32 million for her wedding , flounced to the US then sold many stories how life was so shit in the British RF. Then scuttles back for a "tour" and tries to be involved with the Queens funeral. Things obviously must not be panning out in the US as she hoped, if a country had caused nothing but misery and pain you wouldn't be going back and trying to be involved. I believe some of the press were awful to her but the rest of it was her own doing. Going on Oprah when Prince Phillip was dying what the hell was she thinking.

Good summary.

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 12/09/2022 16:28

Meghan is the rudest person imaginable. She hates Britain - I would blank her too.
