Why do people feel it’s okay to say nasty things about Meghan on social media?

[Lilyyy]

Why do people care so much about her and Harry’s relationship and are so intent on just being incredibly nasty about someone they don’t even know or really know the truth about? Harry must love her and be happy so why don’t the media and people on social media just let them be?

genuinely asking as I don’t understand why she gets so much hatred everywhere, must be really bloody hard for them to see it all the time. People act like she’s a murderer or something.

No. But you have made a wild claim and you can't back it up. I'm not making that claim

Exactly. He doesn't now. Not what a PP said.

Yes. In the form of reports from the Duchy, which provides funding for senior royals. It has been proven, and confirmed by a spokesman, that they stopped receiving funding in 1st Quarter of 2020.

“We want to be left alone!”

Go on Oprah and make controversial and inaccurate comments

”We want to live privately!”

Make a Netflix series like the fucking Kardashians

”We don’t want to be in ‘The Firm”!

We demand we get allocated our own police officers to guard us when we come over, and refuse to acknowledge public services aren’t for hire.

I mean, fucking really?!

Making it about Meehan’s heritage is a low blow and just illustrates their sense of entitlement even more. It can’t possibly be them being rude demanding people ignoring Royal protocol, whilst still expecting the benefits. No, it must be because people are discriminating.

I’m very anti-royalist, but if you join the club you accept the rules. She lost me when she refused the traditional peep at the baby Archie after she had him. And if she lost me, imagine the crowds of old faithful brits who adore the royals, and royal babies even more.

I didn’t know what her heritage was until all the accusations came out.

They would have been criticised either way but its better to be criticised for having integrity by not "joining in" with what you're claiming treated you so badly and just attending a private family funeral later on than being criticised for joining in the whole charade and making yourself look like a hypocrite in the process.

Errmmm it's 2022 and I challenged the PP who said he was being funded now.

Sorry @Roussette I quoted the wrong person. I meant to quote who you were responding to.

Jeez, she’s mocking herself at overdoing the curtsey. think Harry is probably looking at her thinking “come on, your curtsey wasn’t THAT bad, you’re exaggerating a bit for effect, there, love”. The way we all do when our other half tells a story and tries to make it more entertaining than it was. What you do is roll your eyes inwardly and think “ach, just let him get on with it, I can’t be arsed spoiling his moment and it’s just a bit of fun anyway.”

So do you disagree about the headlines the next day because you can bet your bottom dollar that is what the papers would focus on. They behaved impeccably that day, they drew no attention to themselves, and Harry could attend his GM's funeral with his wife there as support. The media didn't focus on them for the day, it was all about the family.

They didn't look like hypocrites. It was a funeral for goodness sake. I know you didn't want him there, but they had every right to be there. Personally I wouldn't call that day 'the whole charade'. It was a state occasion befitting the Queen after 70 years as Monarch.

I just watched it all and thought overall it was good 😊 like them even more now.

Wish them all the best too

No worries

But they had nothing to fear as they could have told in their documentary or in press or a book or interview their reasons for not coming.
Anyways nobody had more say in RF protocols and decsion making more than queen did and as they call RF a racist, unethical institution which plants dalse stories about own family members, the accusation is directed at whom if not the head of the institution for last 70 years? Do you think staff had more power than Queen and they planted stories keeping queen in dark?
These two are lucky that no one is challenging them. Interviews are given to their own people and interviewers never ask them to elaborate or confront them on the conflicting bits.

Wasn't the queen quoted as saying something along the lines of "yes Harry is in love, maybe too much in love."

The queen of course wouldn't actully say the words but a wise person might interpret as "too much in love" meaning totally besotted by someone (which can lead to being blindsided by them and their manipulation or wrong doings.)

I think the whole think demonstrates why the queen was 'never explain, never complain'
Once you open the Pandora's box of talking to the press, it's cut down for TikTok, a scrum for the most outrageous headlines and remember this will be around for ever so we'll have resurfacing clips coming up every time there's a new angle.

There was a really interesting article in the guardian about the irony of H&Ms bashing of the press simply making more money for the very same press. And to be fair the Daily Mail must be loving the $$$ coming in on the back of this. Even MN must be loving all the clicks, I mean a pain to moderate these threads but again more clicks, more comments, more $$$ for them.

Could you provide the link?

@Bunnyfuller you dislike someone you don’t know because they wouldn’t let you see their baby?

Yes funny how she is allowed to generalise about all Brits not being huggers . From a non hugger!

if you join the club you accept the rules.

no, I don’t believe that has to apply to everything. Times move on. Institutions can modernise. MUST modernise. Let’s face it a lot of what the Royal Family is about belongs in the dark ages. They need to become much more enlightened and now the Queen has gone there WOULD have been a chance to do that if Charles had decided to reformulate things a bit and maybe step aside for the younger ones, for some longer term stability. There was a chance a few years back when it looked like H and W and their spouses could really be a catalyst for change together as a foursome, ensuring the institution lives on in a much more relevant and relateable way.

what we are left with now isn’t great.

These two are lucky that no one is challenging them

Are you serious? Aren't the 100+ articles a day in the media challenging them? Every single thing they say, every smile, outfit, words, looks are challenged and picked apart every minute of the day

Genuine question: do all the people contributing 'seriously' to this thread, with points about who these people are and why they do what they do - do they feel equally invested in other, dramatic, celebrity couples? The Kardashians? Beckhams? I dunno, Vine and Gove? If not, why not? What is it about these two that presses your buttons? And don't give me 'oh, the tourism', as if the RF are unique in that, and the architecture wouldn't be fine without em.

Seriously

Why do you care?

True. Harry and Megan are very much dramatic celebrity couple now and I also wonder if people are just as invested in the beckhams and the Kardashian's? The Beckhams are at least self made and have made good contributions towards sport, music and fashion. Harry was just born privileged and Megan is a C list Hollywood actress.

Not sure why I am doing this when you could do it yourself. I doubt proof will make any difference to anyone anyhow, I have posted all this information previously. The problem is, no one seems to care about the truth.

Here is the BBC article with spokesperson confirming that funding stopped in "summer" of 2020.

Note: the media had a field day with this one because Harry said first quarter of 2020, palace said summer. Except 1stQ is from Apr 1 - Jun 30. Which is, in fact, summertime. This is a great example of how the press skews things in order to create a negative narrative regarding them.

Here is the overview of the finances. You can see the drop from 2020 to 2021 once H & M left.

Harry stated that he used his mothers money to buy security.

Tracy Morgan allowed them to stay in his home for 3 months rent free while they shopped and purchased the Montecito home.

They paid back the SG for the renovations of Frogmore in fall of 2020, plus market rent for 18 months on Frogmore cottege.

Where have I heard that trotted out before, probably on every page of every thread about them

I would send the same question back to the haters. I am using you as a generalization here, not meaning you personally.

Why do you care?

Why is it OK to hate them vs like them?

Why, if you hate them so much, do you continually read articles and search social media about them?

If everyone who hates them and complains would hit the X button on the window, they would get less press and go away quicker.

@multivac sorry, I misread your comment thinking it applied to people who support. But I think maybe you mean anyone now.

My answer doesnt change though. I would love to know why people who despise someone so much make the active choice in being a participant.
