Public members rude to meghan

[RheanaT]

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

This makes a lot of sense.

I used to work in the HQ for a nationally known shop and part of my duties was to update standing regulations as and when required. The regulations covered factories and warehouse as well as their stores. Every possible eventuality was covered in those regs, even the most minor procedures you'd have thought were common sense. Can't imagine how much more intricate standing regs and protocol must be for BRF duties, events etc.

I have enjoyed your posts but, I mean, you don't have to be posting here. It's not compulsory!

I think @Completelyovernonsense is possibly thinking about blood group testing?

Although that was 1900-1901 so lord knows.

@Completelyovernonsense
Don't you dare leave this thread, pushback is needed at times!

FWIW I think the issues with the flowers is an important one that Megan had not been made aware of or actively ignored because she imagined the images sent around the world of her laying the 'peoples flowers'.

Again, how do you know this? How on earth could you know what Meghan was imagining? She looked nervous to me throughout the whole situation, not like someone being manipulative in the way you describe.

I'm not disputing that there was some logic behind having the aides take and lay the flowers, of course that's sensible and practical. I just find it odd and unnecessary to criticise Meghan over it and read all sorts of nefarious things into her behaviour. It's a non-issue really but like the bump-touching and the avocados, it becomes a ridiculous story.

There were some odd folk outside Windsor. Snapping the RF up close when they did their walkabout. One woman offering karate lessons to William's kids“

staggering, isn’t it?
amazed to see some people supposedly “mourning” outside of Buckingham Palace on BBC news reports waving, laughing and giving the thumbs up when they spotted that they were on camera.
peculiar behaviour.

That will be regurgitated for years to come.

What about the flowers!

It's just been added to the list of 'wrongs'

I think so too. If you Google ‘when was DNA paternity testing invented’ the very first result from Google is:

1925
Initially it was not recognised in many countries but as DNA testing was discovered, the role of the test became a vital tool in court cases. Paternity testing was developed in 1925 and it was thought the introduction of this test goes some way in explaining why fertility dropped in the 1930s.

@phishy if you carry in reading that google entry, it seems it was indeed a blood test and that this refers to the USA, so I don’t know if it applied to the UK. When I google the UK it only referred to DNA testing from 2004. I just looked because I was interested 🤷‍♀️

@smilesy I did read, which is why I agreed with SpinCity that Completely was thinking about blood group testing.

It’s not a topic that has really interested me so Wiki was the go to.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 excuse two toddlers being prince and princess they live in the US. They won't be overly traumatised by it Won't the titles be more of a burden ? They aren't in the direct line of succession Edward hasn't styled his children as prince or princess when he was allowed.

If Meghan is true to her beliefs about disliking the monarchy and going her own way. She will refuse the titles for her children.

Whether people like it or not. Archie and Lillibet are the great grandchildren of the Queen and the grandchildren of King Charles.
it doesn’t matter whether they live in Timbuktu. They have every right to be called Prince or Princess A mixed race American is their mother
Some of you really need to come to terms with this fact

Please link me to any article where she said that she disliked the monarchy.
I would be really interested to read this

🤣🤣🤣 The Oprah interview where she said she was held hostage by having her passport taken away (how did she fly to her baby shower?) Slagging off the RF on Oprah when Prince Phillip was dying. She felt sucidial the firm wouldn't help her so she went to HR and they didn't help her (who goes to HR about medical issues ? It's the doctor). If she has any ounce of conviction in her beliefs she won't use the titles for her children as the RF have caused her so much pain.

I honestly don't care what race she is, you can be any race and be a divisive person. My DD is mixed race and my DH. My DH also thinks Meghan is a trouble maker.

I don't know if it's the way the clip I saw was cut but she had just been "snubbed" by some crowd members and then was approached about the flowers? If so it must have been very tricky to have dealt with that as well as dealing with a family members death. I think the whole thing is ridiculous and she can't do anything right in the media's eyes. She could do nothing and that would be criticised.

Still waiting for an article saying that she disliked the monarchy
Being unhappy about being treated terribly by some in the Royal household is not the same as disliking the monarchy.,
Meghan had always admired the Queen and said this openly.

Posters really need to keep a check on their emotions and be careful with the way they word their posts.

Meghan had always admired the Queen and said this openly.

What the couple say and what they do are quite often two very different things.

Your dh is entitled to believe what he wants
Being mixed doesn’t mean he has to like Meghan. Mixed and black people are not a monolith.. However, I would love to know exactly why he dislikes Meghan Markle.

I am white, but many black and mixed race friends and colleagues truly believe that people have issues with Meghan’s race
My white privileged self has no right to tell them that they are mistaken. I haven’t lived and will not ever live their lives
Tbh, you can’t blame them for thinking this, when a mixed race woman is accused of being a ‘troublemaker‘ when it was obvious that she was treated terribly by some in the royal household .

Yes. This is what she's said about the Queen

1. HMQ is wonderful to me.
2. She asked me to join her/ we had breakfast together.
3. She gave me a beautiful gift.
4. She put a warm blanket over my knees
5. She makes me think of my grandmother
6. She's always b'n warm, inviting & really welcoming"

Isn't it time this discussion ended?
Neither "side" is going to give way. There are a lot of deeply held beliefs being expressed now- very few are based on fact and cannot be proven (a similar story in the tabloids is not proof).
Be kind......

Couple of examples:

1). Such was MM admiration for The Queen that they did a chat show in front of millions criticising members of The Queens family and staff whilst knowing her husband of 99 years old was gravely ill.

2). Such was her admiration for The Queen that they decided they wouldn't visit her whilst she was gravely ill even though they were in the U.K.at the time.

I think that Rousettes examples are interesting and say more about The Queen making her feel welcome into the family than anything else. The couple then very publicly shat all over them.

As I said words and actions differ.

Yahoo - Omid’s paymaster as declaring that Meghan’s the new Diana with her hugging, what a pity she didn’t manage to lay some flowers which would have sealed the deal.

They’re really pushing this angle in the US in a lot of the publications.Sunshine Sachs are on serious overtime to push the Meghan Markle living saint narrative.

I totally agree. It's no skin off anyone's nose if M&H's children have titles.
