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 dunno I would make a bit of effort to my appearance at meeting my sil for the first time - why wouldn’t you?! Why would you wanna look like a slob?

all this ‘take me as you find me’ stuff is a bit arrogant in my opinion

You think dressing trendily is looking like a slob?

susan12345678 · 08/12/2022 17:32

As far as I can decipher it is more propaganda than documentary.

Coxspurplepippin · 08/12/2022 17:35

Johnny Diamond on R4 had just said 'It's all a bit small bore'. Which just about says it all.

@antelopevalley

nope

dressing trendy - fine
not bothering to brush your hair or wearing toothpaste stained joggers or whatever - not fine

@ThatEdgyFeeling What is the matter with that? Ripped jeans are fashionable amongst the young. Barefoot? So what? I would not dress up to meet my sister in law.

Meagain is not young

antelopevalley · 08/12/2022 17:48

@LuckySantangelo35 Luckily Meghan did neither of those things

JennyForeigner · 08/12/2022 17:52

You mean William's got as much of a stick up his bum in private as in public?

Blimey.

SUBisYodrethwhenLarping · 08/12/2022 17:52

When MIKE Tindall was in the jungle he said they all wear jeans and t shirt etc going around Buckingham Palace etc

I think it is just the difference in styles of greeting people when you first meet them

I hug family or friends but not when I first meet them. That would seem very fake to me

Even on RHOBH (REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS) which I realise is trashy TV - there is a definite shake hands when first introduced to other people even other friends of friends and then hug on future meetings so I think Meghan is more of the fake hugs to everyone even when you first meet them than others in BH

Did Meghan meet her in laws in dirty/stained clothes with unbrushed hair? If so that’s a whole new thread.

Mingmoo · 08/12/2022 18:08

William and Kate must both be hyper-aware that whatever happens behind closed doors can become public knowledge forever in one short conversation with a journalist. Don't they have a close circle of loyal friends who don't talk to anyone in the media? (I find them almost wilfully bland and boring in public - they look pretty, they speak in banalities, they seem perfectly pleasant and we have no idea what they're really like as people.) I know Harry was smitten beyond words with Meghan but she was a total stranger with an interest in self-promotion, because she couldn't have known at that stage that she would end up married to him. I'd have been standing well back too, if I was William or Kate, and I think it's a weird thing to have an issue with so many years later. 'It took a while to get to know them' is normal, and very different from 'I was warm and huggy and they were cold and distant'. The constant self-dramatisation is exhausting, from both Meghan and Harry. Awful things happen to people all the time; not getting on with your in-laws is a Mumsnet thread, not a reason to be canonised as a martyr.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 08/12/2022 18:16

But they were designer ripped jeans, there was no way she was going to sully her hands by ripping them herself.

So that just shows how stupid and hostile that bitch Kate is, any normal person would say, ‘ ooo I larve your jeans they’re so sexy! And your pedicure ! What shade of varnish is that it's so ……wow! Can I lie down on the floor and like, kiss your feet?
’Cos I would have let her, no problem, I’m not hung up about personal contact ‘

Primark jeans 🤣

MavisMcMinty · 08/12/2022 18:18

You all remind me of Dawn French’s “Royal Expert” in that French and Saunders’ daytime telly sketch. The things you deduce from the tiniest word or expression or photo still are beyond parody, but fascinating to see.

Coxspurplepippin · 08/12/2022 18:18

Of course it could also be that Kate dressed nicely to meet Meghan because she understood Meghan was important to Harry and thought she'd make an effort.

Who the fuck hand rips their own jeans? I thought I’d heard the absolute limit of crimes committed by Meghan, but now I need to add ‘buys her jeans pre ripped, doesn’t even rip her own jeans.’

browneyes35 · 08/12/2022 10:00

I don't like Meghan at all but I understand what she's saying here.

What she's saying in her typical passive aggressive way, is that I am this earth spirit with my flowing hair and bare feet, and Kate is this stuck up prig along with her stuck up husband, who wear formal clothes and are always formal. Well we've all seen pictures of Kate in jeans and relaxed. I'd say she and William were just not taken in with Meghans fakery.

Of course it is. Its their paranoid victimhood in glorious technicolour. They are super special don't you know. So far they have blamed everyone that reads and writes on social media (pretty much all of us), the general media, the royal family and Meghans own family. Don't think there are many other people on the planet.

TooHotToRamble · 08/12/2022 18:28

It's completely disingenuous. I can't believe for one second that she wasn't briefed on the royal family, how it worked and the expectations before meeting them.

SammyScrounge · 08/12/2022 18:29

ThatEdgyFeeling · 08/12/2022 10:02

Would you have met them for the first time in ripped jeans and barefoot?

I cannot imagine.anyone meeting the future king and queen in her bare feet. In fact I can't imagine meeting anyone like that.
She's too old to turn out like a teenage girl . I thought the same when I saw the clips from their documentary. The montage of her and Harry was obviousl trying to make them look fun and youthful and well - teenage. She's in her forties for God's sake.
And I hate the plaintive sqeak her voice becomes when thinks she is.being victimised as in 'they are trying to destroy us.'
Like a frightened little girl about nine years old.

100% this!!

OriginalOrchid · 08/12/2022 18:34

Meghan is taking the piss in the scene where she reenacts bowing to the queen, she's smirking her best smirk. Harry smiles at her like a zombie😱. I fear that when Harry realises all that he has done, he will be in a very dark place, for that I feel sorry. This is not how normal people behave.

I can't imagine King Charles or William ever forgiving Meghan for such mockery or Harry for stabbing them all in the back. It takes a certain type to stab their own family in the back publicly.

bakalava · 08/12/2022 18:34

The curtsey mockery is also four going onto forty. I mean, who does that? It may be ridiculous to her but it is really only associated with one person in the living memory of most people: the late Queen. It is just so crass and tone deaf. Almost delivering a joke against all Britons to get the whole of the US nation laughing - except that it is not even funny and Harry's expression confirms that he knows it crosses a line but he is too spineless and co dependent to stop her.

RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 08/12/2022 18:35

Shit, did I miss a life memo somewhere where I'm supposed to behave myself and act like a grown up now I'm a lady in my 40s?
One thing to say to that, go bollocks 😁

You’re making things up, but that’s what you do on other threads to so 🤷🏻‍♀️
