Public members rude to meghan

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

It’s all down to her colour, deny it as much as you want.
Kate will never do wrong in peoples eyes as she is the archetypal princess.
Leave Meghan alone.
People make all these assumptions like there facts about the Royals. None of you know the truth only they do.
it’s not Eastenders!

Is it? I'm not a particular fan of hers solely down to the way she (and her husband) treated the Queen and rest of the RF in the Queen's final years...and I'm mixed race. So am I racist?

She does herself no favours. I was a fan at first and liked her in Suits. I hope she can learn to behave in a way that will make her more popular. Eg with the flowers the royals have all kinds of rules about what is done. You listen to the rule and you obey what you are told. It is that kind of thing that she finds hard apparently and the Revenge book by Bower interviewed loads of people (400?) and gives all the cross references including her demands when in Canada for Suits about hotel requirements.

If she can just come to England with the children more, say nothing, let the children see the royal family and their cousins and indeed her own father and her half siblings she could repair the damage done. I don't think anyone here means her any ill. It is very hard to marry into the royal family, not something I would have done.

Re- the flowers,
apparently, according to other forums... I know, I know...

the aides were instructed to take them from her as soon as, because nobody(??)
wanted pictures of her taken ALONE, arms full of flowers, sashaying towards the bank of flowers for a netflix shot.

who knows...

I agree with all of that

LondonWolf · 12/09/2022 18:06

She wasnt rude to an aide. He leant in and offered to hold her flowers for her and she said no thank you i said i would lay them for people. She was a little startled when he leant in from behind her to speak but she regained her composure. Honestly the things people make up to justify the abuse against her.

She said this then turned away immediately without giving him a chance to answer - rude. Another aide asked her, she again refused and at this point Harry had to intervene to get her to give them up and co-operate which the event plan.

I have fallen into this trap before, and given examples, only to be told that it’s nuts/obsessive/pathetic that I would go to the effort to do this. So thank you, but I won’t do so on this occasion.

You could always go and read Revenge, which has plenty of sourced and footnoted examples, often from named contributors.

The examples I have were just off the top of my head so I didn’t need to research or anything but yes I get what you’re saying. I was very happy for them, watched the wedding and wished well of them in their new life abroad but then it all went a bit pear shaped and spiteful and that’s when I went off the pair of them.

Diverseopinions · 12/09/2022 18:06

People make all sorts of assumptions as if they are facts about the royal - true.

And people make all sorts of groundless assumptions about why others supposedly don't like Meghan - also true.

LondonWolf · 12/09/2022 18:07

with the event plan.

ArcaneLana · 12/09/2022 18:11

I didn’t think she was rude to the aide about flowers. This just reminds me of the M breaking protocol stories that were printed and some repeated here when she was pregnant with Archie way before the Oprah interview. I also understand why she wouldn’t want to introduce her children to Samantha and her half brother who are constantly slagging her off on GB news. They obviously hate her so why bother subjecting her children to that.

BellePeppa · 12/09/2022 18:13

I think the fact that the Queen was relieved Meghan didn’t go to Phillip’s funeral has got to mean something hasn’t it? I don’t believe the Queen would have felt that for no good reason or just to be spiteful as that wasn’t her way.

But she clearly did try to break protocol with the flowers. It was such a tiny petty thing. What was the point of it?

So that she could be photographed placing the flowers and thus getting herself some headlines and something to flog to Netflix

Sharrowgirl · 12/09/2022 18:23

The aide/flower thing was just her inexperience showing - she’s not had to do that sort of thing before, she didn’t know the drill.

Diverseopinions · 12/09/2022 18:23

There was another thread about 'Have you ever met Harry?' and all the anecdotes were Harry having a ball with his friends; Harry going to yet another pub; Harry smoking aged 14; Harry having loving uncles around him and body guards to look after. Harry going to another posh horsey event. He is a spoilt, entitled brat, whose had years of endless fun and adulation, compared with most young men. He should stop complaining about his lot. Some young men have it really hard. Nobody would read his memoirs, if he wasn't royal, so it's all on the back of that that he gets these amazing book deals and Netflix deals.

I'm only interested in the royals if they're working royals, thanking volunteers, representing the state; thanking more volunteers.

There's always an excuse for Meghan though. Anyone else messes up or is even just accused of messing up and it's because they're racist/attacking/bullying/abusive.

Diverseopinions · 12/09/2022 18:31

I don't read all the press, but why are ordinary people being told they're racist: 'don't deny it, etc.' as if they are all newspaper magnets and journalists? What's the assumption, that everyone has got one brain between them? The press is the press. They don't act and speak for everyone.

If someone says they aren't racist - that's it: take their word for it.

Rubbish she's done Royal visits where she had to give flowers to aides. She knew the drill

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2022 18:34

What was the issue with the flowers?

Roussette · 12/09/2022 18:34

Does it really really matter whether she handed the flowers over or not? I can't believe people are stressing about this... I've watched the close up footage a number of times, and there was nothing wrong with it, but I suppose if you are looking to find fault, you will find it.

If it wasn't the flowers, it would be something else. There will always be a stick to beat Meghan with.

Shock horror, an aide said I will take the flowers, and she said no, don't worry type thing

She slapped the hand away of the man who was helping her out of her wedding carriage

So I had to do some extensive research for this one. Mostly because it isn't true. The only small inkling that could allude to anything like it was her taking the man's hand and then withdrawing to grab her dress as it seems to get caught on the way out if the car. Slapping his hand away - what a leap....

she dismissed with a wave of her hand the £32m wedding.
*
I don't even know what this means, when? How? What context?*

She glared at little Charlotte at the wedding then smiled at the other children, *Lol, what?

she lied about no one helping her adjust to being in the RF,
How is this a lie?

she has accused people of calling her children the N word but has not elaborated further, *
I imagine it's more to do with protecting the image of the person who said it. Harry said it would be very damaging to the person who said it. She exonerated the Queen and the DoE. The Queen herself put out a statement to say the matter would be dealt with privately - also keen for the person not to be named.
*
she lied about being ‘silenced’ then forgot and said she’s never signed anything and has always had her voice, *
She never said had signed anything and was legally silenced though, did she? She said she was institutionally silenced and abuse from the press was never addressed by the institution. She says once they broke free from the institution they could say what they want as they had never signed anything. *

she spoke about herself all through her 7 minute speech instead of putting the focus on the reason she was there, etc etc etc
So a guest speaker referencing her own experiences of rags to riches before telling the listeners that they are 'the future, but also the present, driving the positive and necessary change needed across the globe.' Pretty sure this is putting a focus on the reason she was there.

You get the picture?
Not really, you haven't posted anything explicit that even remotely comes close to explaining the vitriol hurled at her. Your post is full of hyperbole and opinion, e.g. her 'looking' at Charlotte.
