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.

Of course. I wouldn't hug anyone who gave the vibe they didn't want it. Luckily my DDs in laws reached out, as did I at the same time. I would know you wouldn't want to be hugged if I met you. So I wouldn't do it. You don't have to 'dislike' people who might be huggers, but don't actually do it.

Someone who thankfully assesses the situation objectively.

Many commenters appear ready to take offense in everything connected to this docuseries.

There’s plenty of photos of Kate dressed down in jeans and trainers out with the kids and I dont believe for a second they behave all formal behind closed doors. We also see her hug members of the public all the time. I think she comes across as very warm (especially with her family and children), but ofcourse she has to act formal some of the time-its part of the job.

I was supportive of Harry and Meghan going off to do their own thing outside of the Royal Family, but this is just horrible. I hope they enjoy the millions of pounds they’ve earn’t tearing their family apart for - very sad.

I do too but people have awkward first meetings with people who are to become their families and its just that, awkward. Why does it now have to seem that it is somehow a demerit for W & K?

@JRHartley72

Again, couldn't have said it better.

Yes you are right I do think the Royal Family are better than ‘commoners’. The British monarchy forms part of my identity and that is my belief. It appears you are anti monarchy which is your belief too.

Whilst I’m surprised Megan was not aware of certain things, Harry instead is and would be her form of information.

As for her own clothes in her own home, I do think that’s her choice as to what she wore as I initially stated. But if she attended their home then it would be appropriate for her to dress accordingly provided that she had been notified by Harry. If she decided not to, that would be her own choice.
I am not saying Megan did wrong for wearing what she did in her own home.

Talk about scraping the barrel with trying to find something to feel outraged about. 😂😂😂

News lady:
There’s no such thing as a homogenous British/English culture. There’s also the North/South divide.

Its generally acknowledged that people oop north, do hug and are far more open and friendly than people in the south.

I feel sorry for stuck up people like you and all the others piling on to agree with you.

As an afterthought…Let me take a wild guess that you're not from the North of England?

@JRHartley72 no its not all about her being black at all
I find that offensive tbh
I have critiscised her on occasions and agreed with her on other things
Her colour has nothing to do with it
Its like we must never disagree with anyone if not the same colour as us because otherwise we are suddenly racist

The inference anyone who doesn't hug is horrible and cold.

And I'm sure William and Kate couldn't give two hoots about what she was wearing.

I'm reading this thread with confusion,
confused, because I can't believe some people's reactions.

I just don't understand how people are so involved in H and M,why,why,why ?

As for the OP...well that's not nice calling Meghan a bitch, is it ?

@Heygal I do not think the Royal Family are better than "commoners" and I think a lot of "commoners" are way better and more ethical people than some of the members of the Royal Family.

@PurplePixies ha you would be very surprised where I am from and thanks for the stereotype

I don't like her or harry and i think they are very disingenuous. Hes a fool who panders to everything she wants because he thinks he's won the lottery by being with her. However I don't think shes said anything wrong here. She obviously thought all the formality was just an act for the public, however Harry knows different and should have told her what was expected of her. So if anyone is to blame its harry! While the royals are somewhat formal when behind closed doors I suspect that W&K were more formal because they only just met her and were suspicious of her true intentions rightly so imo. They didn't know her, why would they be anything but formal? I can't say I would be impressed if someone i had only just met tried to hug me!

I’m not a fan of M but I don’t see the issue. She’s admitting being naive about protocol. If anything H let her down by not preparing her better. Meeting your partners family from a different culture is one thing but when it’s the RF it’ll be a whole other level with culture clash combined with not being aware of protocol.

@PurplePixies i know northerners who also don't hug? Its a personal choice and in this day and age even more so that people maybe don't want to be touched by others
Its not a north and south thing its a people thing

I do think the Royal Family are better than ‘commoners’.

Oh my. They may be better than you but they certainly aren’t better than me.

I'm not disgusted by that. Harry implying his brother married someone who fitted the mould and not the love of his life was extremely horrible though.

I've skimmed the programme and my overwhelming view is they are in love with themselves and this "amazing" love story they have. Meh.

Knowing Meghan this is probably not true. Abit like the fire in archies bedroom and the South Africans dancing in the street and other tall tales.
if it is true then she met with the duke and duchess of Cambridge, future king and queen of England her new in laws for the first time and she was barefoot in ripped jeans and went to hug them.
sorry what a classless pleb. How rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate to them.
if I met my daughters perspective husband and he did that I would be far from impressed.

My god you're being awfully dramatic over the lives of people you, presumably, do not know.

@antelopevalley what you think is irrelevant , they are the Rf and head if state , they are expected to behave a certain way in public etc , they also have certain traditions behind closed doors as many families do
Shoes on / shoes off etc
Harry knows his family , he knows the expectations
I mean Mike Tindall manage to slot right in , Im sure he was pre warned by Zara etc

You sound very ignorant OP. Have you got nothing better to do? Find a hobby perhaps?

By reading another thread there is literally people not watching but reading threads about it to comment! I find that so bizarre and frankly worrying that people would be so petty and makes me feel for MM even more than I do already.

@hopeishere see to me he is the bigger problem with all this
He seems to of not told meghan anything about what life would be like and chose to put her through it
Saying things about his brother etc such as that is also distasteful and he doesn't seem too concerned about his brother mh or how any if this may affect him or his marriage

@Rainbowsandbutterflies1990 but by making a documentary you put yourself out there and not everyone will agree with you
They will have people who like them after and people that don't, thats the risk they take

I don't think if someone hates her they are racist.

I don't think if I disagree with someone of a different race that's racial either.

As a black woman I recognise racial undertones, just as any woman can pick up on sexist undertones.

But read your own comments, 'people always shouting racism' I hear at work (I work in investment banking) from men who say, 'women always shouting sexism'

There are far more pressing problems than Meghan and Harry, but I agree with other posters, a lot of hate comes from her being regarded as inferior. People just don't like to recognise the ugly parts of themselves
