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

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 wasn't ignored by me, LadyKenya, and as ever I'm deeply sorry that people suffer racism at all, no matter where it comes from

However while I'd never deny that it sadly exists, when it comes to specific allegations around this very serious issue I prefer to see a little detail - because the existence of an attitude, no matter how loathsome, doesn't mean that everyone shares it

Was it a secret christening? Did he then do another christening a few days later and pretend that was the real christening?

These women embarrassed us. I'm not a Megan fan, but she was there to support her grieving husband, so to be rude to her was disgusting.

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

Now this is weird. When did she say she hates Britain?

Roussette · 12/09/2022 16:33

@Yupsuuuure agree with your post
@Completelyovernonsense what you e said on this thread is spot on

Thank goodness they left, if some of the bigoted talk on this thread is anything to go by, my god they did the right thing

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 12/09/2022 16:35

@ArcaneLana u ok hun? She constantly calls Britain racist and she moved her whole family to another country - yeah she really loves Britain eh 😂😂😂

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.

Post of the week.

I have the same colour skin as Meghan and sorry I still would not want to talk to her.

DahliaDreamer · 12/09/2022 16:42

What goes around comes around. I don't think I'd like to speak with her either.

Ori1 · 12/09/2022 16:44

I do feel sorry for Meghan though in one way. She never understood that her job, when she married into the RF was to be the understudy not the leading lady. That latter role is reserved for Kate

Pathetic really , why you asking me if I’m okay, and then the passive aggressive hun(Mxm). You know damn well you are lying , Meghan has never called Britain racist. POC on this thread and other parts of MN however have called Britain racist.

User47484739478474 · 12/09/2022 16:46

Meghan really needed that hug, far more so than the girl did imo.

she looked lost and anxious prior to meeting the crowd. I think she was worried what would be said and done. So many of the public were respectful and kind, some were rude but so many people showed her total kindness and respect.

I am not a huge Meghan fan but whatever she does she can never do anything right in the eyes of the media and the public, she's constantly being compared to kate, Kate can do no wrong but Megan is criticised constantly.

I really hope this can be the start of the brothers mending their relationship and Harry becoming closer to the family.

Great post, so agree.

I would've loved to have given her a hug

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.

But they didn't need to go through a 'circus wedding'.

Charles and Camilla got married in a registry office as both were divorced and they couldn't use Windsor Castle for a civil ceremony as it would need a licence (then anyone could have married there). Then they had a blessing the next day in St. George's Chapel.

Harry and Meghan could have had that. She's a divorcee so it would have been perfectly explainable to the public (none of our business anyway but there are always some).

They could have still had the pomp and ceremony which Camilla and Charles had for their blessing but the actual wedding would have been more intimate. But they decided against that. Their choice.

As for the rehearsal being seen as a proper wedding. They didn't have witnesses sign anything at the rehearsal/secret wedding. Therefore it's not real. Meghan and Harry can call it what they want but they got married on 19th May, not a day, a week or a year earlier. They can pin any vows they made 'in their backyard' to their wall. But their witnessed marriage certificate was 19th May and that's the legal end of it.

brogueish · 12/09/2022 16:50

This whole thing is completely nuts. Every aspect of who went out and when would have been planned and organised by the palace to the nth detail. Meghan couldn't have just thought "oh I'll pop along and do a meet and greet".

At a funeral you behave with grace and with respect to the family, whether by marriage or blood, whatever your personal feelings. Those awful women behaved atrociously.

Anyone who criticises MM being there, or is offended by her presence, or would refuse so inappropriately to acknowledge her, needs to take it up with the palace. Royalists indeed. Have a word with yourself.

dogmandu · 12/09/2022 16:51

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.

The problem I have with this is that as a dislike of MM is seen as solely being put down to racism, then racism loses it's real meaning doesn't it. That's why examples are asked for because people are very sceptical now..

AllTheCarsForMe · 12/09/2022 16:51

TBF, Kate was hounded by the press for years. Remember "Waity Katie" and the obsession with her sister's bum? So she does know what Meghan has been through too, I would think.

I also imagine that Kate probably went through a lot if vetting with the royal family to ensure that she won't leak stories etc., which she presumably passed.

So to say that she can do no wrong isn't fair given that she has earned her stripes, so to speak.

Not that I think either woman should have been hounded by the press. I don't.

Yupsuuuure · 12/09/2022 16:52

I said she spoke her truth because if id said "she told THE truth about what happened to her" you'd all jump all over that too.

She's not the perfect Princess that Kate is. That's why the media hate her. I guess a lot of people can't bear that harry would rather be with Meghan than be a British prince. That's unthinkable. He turned his back on the royal family, that wonderful institution that we are all supposed to love and tug our forelocks at, for a woman who isn't white. Which makes it ok for other people to think .. Actually why do we still have a RF? And these royalists hate it. They like having overlords. It makes them feel safe.

Tut. Tut. Bad harry.

coolmum123 · 12/09/2022 16:52

I am a woman of colour and I feel absolutely offended when posters throw the racist accusation at anyone who says anything negative about her. I have experienced racism directly and I have never uttered words or thoughts that could be construed as such. I have sat and watched her insult the Royal Family left ,right and centre and she knows what she is doing even down to the threats about her journal and how she can say what she wants on her podcasts. She is a calculating, vindictive person. She can preach service, kindness and compassion to the nth degree but her actions do not reflect her words. Sorry but I don't like her because of her words and actions not because of her colour. I am not a Royalist either before I get accused of that.
So I'm sorry but if people have snubbed her on a walkabout she shouldn't be surprised. People are reacting to her from her actions and words.

Serenster · 12/09/2022 16:53

I see someone shouted “Andrew you’re a sick old man” as he walked down the Royal Mile today behind the hearse carrying his mother’s body.

I’m genuinely interested to see what the posters on this thread think about that?

I can't find one bit of evidence she did.

Do you mean when Harry said "The UK is not bigoted, the UK press is bigoted, specifically the tabloids."

ShrewsH · 12/09/2022 16:54

I think Meghan is one of these people who believes "her truth" and expects the world to go along with it. Her truth will vary of course. I think what she and Harry did to the RF (Oprah, etc.) was extremely misjudged. They're both attention-seeking, needy people that probably can't be reasoned with.

Harry should have warned Meghan about the realities of Royal life (in essence, they're basically show ponies trapped within a set of convoluted traditions and expectations, yet loved by a large section of the country for what they represent, etc.). I think Meghan thought she could be a "breath of fresh air" in the RF and shake it up a bit but the RF is glacial in its rate of change; they'll only change gradually as they see fit and will close ranks and are hostile to interference and issues. Didn't Diana see that, Wallis Simpson, etc?

Unfortunately, H and M are a mismatch for the RF as it is now. They did the right thing to leave but they need to just go away and do their own thing, become private citizens, and enjoy life as they wish to lead it. They can't have one foot in it and one foot out of it as they're trying to do at the moment. I think people wish they would do this, rather than sitting on the fence, causing issues for the RF and waiting to cash in when they can.

I thought the new King's speech to the nation was very good, very warm, etc. I thought myself it was quite pointed in the sense that W&K are now POW and when he said "love to Harry and Meghan as they build their new life overseas" I think he really meant "I love you Harry but please just go and build your life with your family, stop trying to have it all".

I've seen the videos of this young man being assaulted and then arrested, time and a place and all of that but he's not wrong.
