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.

Ask her first husband and her best friend at the time (and maid of honour) about her. All these people thinking Meghan is this naive, innocent victim are gullible.

They are Kardashian want to be's (at least she is and he seems willing to go along with it) and it seems the documentary is a test run for how much interest there is in reality tv show on their life. They will watch social media engagement etc. Kardashians get a lot of press, good and bad but both benefit them. Meghan will probably soon have a make up line or a perfume or a merch line to hawk as well.

Just as you’re gullible for believing that what’s said it’s the truth from those who were handsomely paid to sell a story. 🙄

RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 08/12/2022 20:12

The disinformation the media and the public spread about them is criminal

Completely agree. Also telling how people know they "don't like her" but couldn't tell you why 🙄
Just been discussing in RL, step away from the bloody toxic Daily Mail you're ingesting daily, that won't help!

Trevor Engelson is a multi millionaire - Meghan was with him for his connections in the film industry and his money. I don't think he needed a tabloid pay day. He is a well respected film producer. His wife is also heiress to a multi millionar dollar fortune. I googled but can't find a bought story from him.

Ninaki ended her long term friendship with Meghan years before anyone was buying stories about her.

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 08/12/2022 20:32

Do you know them personally because you’re taking what they say Re being factual and accurate 🤯. So what if they are wealthy, you don’t have to poor to want your 10 mins of fame and earn while doing so.

Why if you seemingly have everything in life would you even want to subject that attention to yourself and your family 🙄

They done it for their own personal gain and nothing more, he’s an Ex husband and former friend for a reason.

They are desperate to be feted and admired, but the vast majority of people see straight through them. Even the Guardian has had to shut down its comments

Can someone make sense of this for me please?
The subtext is;
C is a cool, aloof, formal, cold fish.
M is a warm, lovely, open, down to earth kinda gal that's open to a relationship with everyone.

C has a very close relationship with her family, including uncles, aunts, parents and siblings and her relationship with her in laws also appears close.

M is completely no contact with her siblings, dad, uncles, aunts and cousins and has now gone public with her problem with her in laws.

I'll admit that I judge on actions rather than words, but can someone explain why they believe Meghan's version of events that everyone else is at fault?

I mean all the royals are Kardashian wannabes. Or more like Kardashian predecessors.

Famous and rich adespite having no recognisable talent
Sells a certain image/aesthetic to the public
Whip up a frenzy over their children, doing things such as keeping names/first photos back to encourage anticipation and guessing
Big fuss made over which labels/clothing they wear to special events
Desperate to give the regular people advice on how to live their lives despite being embarrassingly out of touch with any normal person
Occasionally gives a small portion of their huge wealth to a charitable organisation

Are these points about the royals or the Kardashians? The way I see it they could easily apply to both.

I do not get the friendship between Eugenie and Meghan. I think it is made up because they previously claim that Harry met her through Eugenie but now they are admitting that they met on instagram. Meghan publicly associates with one type of girlfriend and it is not the Eugenie type at all (unless they are a superstar like Serena). I can see they made an effort to become friendly after she met Harry. However, would Eugenie fit into that scraped back extensions, fillers mould of hers? Not really

I reckon they're all a load of arses but the RF have always been arses as it comes with the territory.

The thing is that is 100% crazier than the life the RF lead is the obsession of those folk who, for example would watch a documentary about someone they hate and then post it endlessly online. Same as hating someone but posting about Instagram posts and news articles within minutes of them being posted.

Let them have their feuds and live their bollocks life but I don't get the drama and picking every single thing they do apart.

As I said on the other thread, the fact that they had their third date in a bog standard tent implies that alongside the glamour she has a pretty down to earth side to her. So not all hair extensions and fillers (?)

Aspiringmatriarch · 08/12/2022 18:55

Exactly this. But of course everything she says has to be wilfully misconstrued! 🙄

I think the point is that M is too big a scaredy to say what she really means and she hints and laughs and toys with words and facial expressions to suggest something else hoping that people will pick up on the real meaning she wants to give but without saying it or being accused of it. Phew - that's complicated but basically she *insinuates" poison but wants to steer clear of saying it . "Who me?" Oh now it's someone else's vision of her life / through their lens. Load of bollocks.

So in answer to my question (re; cold, aloof woman has a close and warm relationship with all of her family and in laws, yet the open, lovely, friendly woman is no contact with everyone) is that the close family are arses? And everyone who objects to the eternal victim and tries to make sense of it is also an arse? An obsessed arse?

Well... they went over to US to see H&M. They went to a halloween party together. Eugenie went to a baseball match with Harry. Eugenie and Jack have been over to see them. Meghan and Eugenie were in touch during their concurrent pregnancies.
But apart from that.... Hmm

Spot on, @OriginalOrchid

NerrSnerr · 08/12/2022 21:08

@HaveYouSeenNancy I think they're all arses- I don't think you can have the lifestyle the royals have without being arses. I quite like a couple of them from afar but still reckon behind closed doors they're probably all awful people.

The whole 'warm relationship' thing. We don't know do we? We do know that the RF have paid a lot for PR since the shit show that was the 90s and we also know that the 'normal' families who go OTT to show how happy they are on social media are usually the ones with the biggest issues . We just don't know.

I do think that there are so many obsessed arses though. I have fallen down the Meghan hate rabbit hole online and it is bonkers (including MN).

I agree it is so “I am so warm and casual, me, and not ice cold and stuffy.” As for hugging, well, this is a formal family and with ANY person you kind of dodge around a bit gauging what sort of greeting is appropriate. You don’t fling yourself at someone at a first meeting especially when as a new gf you are the supplicant, trying to make a good impression.

For some reason she really has got it in for Kate. However much M’s fans deny it, it is crystal clear that a lot of jibes are aimed straight at Kate. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t invite Meghan on your shopping trip!

Harry said what Meghan wants Meghan gets to palace staff, maybe this extended to Kate.

Meghan is annoyed that she is the wife of Mr Spare. She is bitching about her husbands family and his country to a global audience, when bitching about them on Mumsnet would have been so much more therapeutic.

I wonder what Harry's army mates think about him and his wife calling the majority of Brits racist and cold and all their negative comments about the Commonwealth (which I don't disagree with BTW). It's a huge F U to Harry's country, but really they are both just throwing their toys out of the pram because they didn't get it their way. If there was racism (and there will have been) why wash you dirty linen in public? Why not have class and grace and tackle racism in all its forms without humiliating your loved ones? Michelle Obama style rather than Jeremy Kyle like, they would have been so much more popular.

Going round the states as the duke and chess is also faintly embarrassing, didi't they decouple from the British monarchy centuries ago? They really are tone deaf.

RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 08/12/2022 21:46

*Meghan is annoyed that she is the wife of Mr Spare."
See, this is the kind of crap that just makes me laugh.
You don't know her, yet you spout as fact she's asked she's the wife of a "spare."
Can you hear yourself?
It's so utterly bizarre

Yep, either the Sun or the Daily Mail!

Calling out racism is NOT saying every British person is racist, as smart as bait!
Exactly

StarbucksSmarterSister · 08/12/2022 21:49

M is completely no contact with her siblings, dad, uncles, aunts and cousins

Thomas Markle has no contact with any of his grandchildren. Samantha has no contact with her mother or kids and her youngest took out a restraining order against her. Whatever other issues there are, it's obviously not just Meghan at fault.

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 08/12/2022 21:55

You’d literally have to be brain dead to believe Megan has not suffered and endured racism in the UK.

You’d literally have to be blind and deaf to not watch or read the trillion social media posts regarding racial behaviour towards her, there was no racial undertones it was blatant racism.

Exactly. If you have a problem with everyone. The problem is likely to be you, rather than everyone else!
