I am not sure why you believe Meghan's ex-husband "should speak up" for her, when she can speak for herself, and her current husband can do so as well.

Why do you need to hear from Trevor, who is no longer in her life? Genuinely why?

Do you believe Andrew Parker Bowles should "speak up" for his ex-wife Camilla? If not, why not? Why do you apply a different standard to Trevor and Meghan that you apply to Andrew and Camilla?

Why would a man who was dumped without even a face to face conversation speak up for his ex wife? Ridiculous.

The continual bad mouther eventually always comes off looking worse and, actually, a bit of a loser

Wise words as ever, Marsha ...

Which is exactly what’s happening to Prince William and Jason Knauf. Karma is biting back big time. Prince William must regret he made the decision to go after Meghan through the media and through his right hand man Knauf.

He messed with the wrong woman. She is an American who will never accept such nonsense.

William badmouth Meghan and his brother until they had to flee. His relentless hounding through his media allies led to her contemplating suicide. So do you really believe William will come out looking good? In which universe?

He is apparently in the position by Hod given rights. God does not like ugly.

They didn’t flee ! Quit the hyperbole! They never wanted to leave , they wanted to stay but be able to make megabucks for themselves and accept freebies and were shocked when The Queen ( rightly) said no. Only then did they flounce off and have complained ever since .

The supporters of William are largely racist leaning of the far right

What do you mean by the 'far right'? What is your definition of this term?

Mega bucks in Britain? You mean taking suitcases of cash from dodgy foreign powers?

Make megabucks in a hostile racist country, confirmed by the Met Police, including the WhatsApp vile and racist messages by the police offers, confirmed racist threats against Meghan’s life and constant racist bile from the media?

They wanted to stay in that? Tyler Perry saw what was happening and reached out to get them out.

How embarrassing for the UK. Then the very people who look down on Meghan for being American want to go there and be adored by Americans?

The world supports the underdog in this fight. We saw what they did to Harry’s mother.

Maximinimalist · 03/12/2022 17:31

Oh and really, Britain is hardly the place to strike it rich. Rich people come here to play. They make their riches elsewhere.

Re read their statement of early January 2020 . They did NOT want to leave , they wanted to “ collaborate “ with The Queen etc ! Basically , they wanted to pick and choose what they did , have 24/7 protection , access to Royal jewels , designer freebies etc and make money . HM said No so hissy fit .
Nobody “ got them out “.
Clearly yet another case of recollections varying .

Anyway, it’s a useful reminder that as much as Meghan tried to diminish the abuse Kate received from the press as just being unkindly dubbed “Waity Katey” actually she had an awful time of being besieged and harrassed by journalists and paparazzi (men in their 30s and 40s, almost exclusively ) who verbally abused her, stalked her, upskirted her, hacked her phone, deliberately tried to get revealing pictures of her when she was out having a a social life…often their behaviour was criminal. And yet as on this very page, it’s the young woman in her 20s who is labelled “disgusting” and “lacking in class” because of their behaviour.

And I am not diminishing the “death by clickbait” that Meghan received either, but I find the collective amnesia about this treatment of Kate ridiculous.

This x 1000000

The airbrushing of recent history is breathtaking frankly.

The treatment of both women by the press was horrifically misogynistic. Meghans was more limited to SM, only because of the changes in limitations to press behaviour within the past 10 years. There's no doubt had SM been as much of a "thing" 10yrs ago Catherine would also have been subjected to it (not that she isn't rn).

Camilla received masses of abuse. People used to shout at her in the street. The papers were full of vitriol. She was hated by loads of people. She could never been out in public with charles. They had to exit buildings separately.

I think people forget the daily amount of nastiness that was written in our lovely media on a regular basis in the 80s and 90s.

Did she not also get eggs or flour thrown at her car before they were married?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 03/12/2022 18:14

Heck of a lot of assumptions there, Maximinimalist. I do agree the RF aren't about using conduits to get their story across, but there's a bit of mileage between knowing from the emails that H&M used Knauf to peddle their lies and speculation about what William may or may not have done - and conspiracy theories on sewers like Twitter don't count as facts

MrsFinkelstein · 03/12/2022 18:17

My mistake, both Charles & Camilla were in the car and it was paint bombs.
Camilla did have bread rolls thrown at her.

I'm surprised Netflix haven't yet disabled comments on their YouTube channel, but they're the gift that keeps on giving.
Well over 100k dislikes so far.

Sorry, that should have read "aren't above using conduits ..."

I'm pretty surprised myself, MrsFinkelstein, but probably they feel it's only the viewing numbers that matter - and they're likely to be huge even if it's just folk expecting to watch a horror show

"Sea lioning"

Definition: asking questions which expose the contradictions in my position/assertions. Therefore I give those attempts to gain a clearer understanding of a largely indefensible and divisive belief system, a dismissive name, to avoid answering those questions and having the senselessness of it exposed.

They are an indication though of public opinion.
I've seen a lot of comments online by US friends and people I follow (H&M and Netflix are very much aiming this at a US audience) along the lines of "haven't you already told your story? I thought you didnt want press intrusion?".

The View TV show did a short piece yesterday and all but 1 of the hosts made similar comments.

People will be mainly tuning in to get Royal gossip - let's face it, they want to hear who said what about Archie. If they do reveal all early on what's left to retain interest? If they keep being all coy and just vaguely allude to things they way they did on Oprah - again, what's left to sustain interest over 6 episodes?

6 episodes is surprising. No one is really that interesting. They were in the RF for 2 years. To puff this out there must be a sh*t ton of filler, and that doesn't exactly bring in the viewers. It very much risks quickly tipping over into navel gazing, self gratification which isn't greatly appealing to people in a cost of living crisis. Too much "poor us" gets grating, especially coming from millionaires living in mansions with Hermes scarves.

@Maximinimalist I think you read to much of the wrong kind of news, a little over invested and quite angry, you need to chill a little you know none of these people or any actual facts really , just what the media want you to

Novella4 · 03/12/2022 18:51

I've reported my own posts re Maulperton . If feels like I'm attacking her and I didn't mean that .
