Am shocked Meghan said this…

[Ndd135632]

She said: 'Even when Will and Kate came over and I was meeting her for the first time I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was bare foot, like I was a hugger, I have always been a hugger I didn't realise that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.'

'I started to understand that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, that there is a forward facing way of being and then you close the door and thing OK we can relax now, but that formality carries over on both sides and that was surprising to me.'

What an utterly horrible thing to say about your sister and brother-in-law. I am done with her now. People are DIFFERENT Meghan. We are not all like you you you you.

I'm curious. Is there a massive crossover between closet racists and people who desperately need to get a fucking life? Because this thread certainly suggests there is.

Honestly, what a thing to obsess over.

Ripped jeans aren’t scruffy. 😂😂😂 And why wear shoes if you’re in the house?

The hugging is different because that’s putting yourself in someone else’s personal space and some people don’t like that.

Ps on the hugging thing, I would think even aside from being a higher, they’re two people who have something in common that very few others have, so perhaps it was like ‘great to meet someone else in this position!’

The Crown is the only source I have seen that talks about the Royal Family behaving formally in private when it is just the family.
So if we ignore the Crown, then I have never seen anyone except Meghan saying this. Yet it is accepted as fact.
I have never read that they have to curtsey and bow to one another when first meeting each other in private every day. And until the Crown I had assumed this only happened at public events.

Was thinking exactly the same.

I wonder how much Harry knows of other countries' colonial pasts or is he one of the many simpletons who have bought into the idiocy that it was only a British thing?

She can wear what she likes but trying to invade a stranger's personal space and complaining when they don't exactly like it. Why did she need to bring it up?

Oh bore off OP.

Ripped jeans? As in my ripped jeans, with the odd stubborn stain? Barefoot? As in my barefoot, hard skin on heels, nail varnish quite possibly 2 weeks older than it should be? Hair in a top messy bun?

No. I imagine designer ripped jeans. A white shirt, gorgeous hair flowing and feet manicured to within an inch of their lives and in HER OWN HOME. I bet she looked absolutely fabulous.

Harry obvs thought it would be a more relaxed meeting otherwise he should have told her. If he didnt, that's on him. Not her.

...and Good Lord, if anyone should say something negative about St Catherine 🙄

William and Kate need to unclench and stop being so stiff and uptight. All that's wrong with the royal family so old fashioned and stuffy.

What on earth about this is whiney or fragile?

It's a statement of somebody's experience. They are saying they didn't expect things to continue formally behind closed doors.

It isn't a value judgement. She isn't saying anybody is better than anybody else. If you infer that from what the OP has written, that's you putting a value judgement on it.

It isn't whining.

Statement of fact /statement of experience isn't fragile.

@JudgeJ i have no idea why this isn’t being believed! The fact that the royals bow to each other in private is widely documented. There’s a very strict hierarchy of bowing and scraping that goes on behind closed doors. This is not new and is not invented by The Crown. 🙄

H and M would be distraught though, where would their next work of fiction come from? They have one USP and are in danger of killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

A 'prize bitch' for making a reference about hugging - you sound like such an awful person __. Kate can speak for herself if she so wishes.

I am British and I hug... Let's not make it a slight against the British.

Did you actually watch it? She didn't complain, she just implied she misread the situation, in the context of her not understanding how she was expected to behave in Royal company. Which is on Harry. He should've explained it.

It sounds like a power struggle in her own mind from the beginning.
Kate cooked her a vegan meal (even though Meghan was only vegan for social media purposes as she was roasting chickens a few weeks later according to her engagement interview).

These "pet" and "Mr Markle" jokes that everyone keeps parroting are not just unfunny, they're deeply misogynistic. Might as well use the "pussy whip" sound effect if you're going to be this crass and demeaning towards women who happen to have opinions.

I once read years ago how William was very cautious around people he didnt know. How on earth would harry have not known this? Kate seems like she would also take some time to get to know. Both W & C are known to have a very small inner circle of close trusted friends. Is that any surprise really?C was also seen greeting the then PoW at the bond premiere with a very public kiss as a greeting, which struck me as quite get mine. Though think they were kindred spirits at that time as both had been named by M in the OW Interview. Warmth and friendliness can be conveyed by more than hugs. I'm more of a hugger, but always appreciate others boundaries My closest friends are not huggers. She was meeting some very high profile people. In that situation I would think it would be wise to read the room a bit more. Still think Harry thought she was so cool, appeared completely amazed by her, even M having a dump in the outdoors on a camping trip bowled him over. Guess they almost egg each other on. It's been very much their thing to be different (and they are ) than W & C. Though think its spiteful and unfair to portray them in this way, when they aren't able to answer back. I thought C looked very strained after the OW interview. Not her usual smiley self. I was surprised Harry was ok with this him and C seemed to have had a really close relationship previously.

Don’t know why they can’t just both retract from this continuous need to be in the limelight.
Whatever did/didn’t happen is honestly irrelevant to most people, it’s old news.
They need to get on with their lives, enjoy their children and stop attempting to drag people’s names through the mud. It’s making them both look distasteful to say the least.

Liars do tend to attract dislike, I wonder why?

• genuine not get mine !

even M having a dump in the outdoors on a camping trip bowled him over.

Boom - true love!

Surely it was up to Harry to tell her what the expectations were?
I Don’t have an opinion on her either way, I don’t get the anger directed at her. She’s just a person.

And to know the difference between to have and to of - oops sorry the latter doesn't exist.

True, Lady Macbeth was keen to promote her husband, right or wrong, Meghan is only keen on promoting herself for money by using her dozy husband's position.

Exactly this!
