Meghan & Harry Were Lying From The Start, Weren't They?

[TheShellBeach]

As per the thread title.

Right from the word go, Meghan and Harry were not telling the truth. About anything.

Now the Netflix series has come out it just proves it, over and over again.

I find it odd that nobody had a problem with Meghan before she married Harry, then suddenly she was a liar, @TheShellBeach.
Yeah, I find that suspicious AF.

No one knew who she was before Harry, she just had a role in a tv programme - wasn't a Hollywood actress

Thanks @FloofCloud , was just about to say the same !

My mom really loved her. She was a big fan of Suits. She was excited about the wedding. Me too, really even though I didn’t know who she was. I felt so badly for her that the situation with her father was playing out so publicly. I still do, I guess.

I’m sure @Roussettehas replied to you, but since this has been common knowledge for months, the Sussexes want to PAY FOR THEIR OWN SECURITY.
It wouldn’t cost the British public a cent.
How could you not know that?

She was spoken of highly by her cast mates, had an excellent reputation, loyal friends.
Many people knew her.
Your story doesn’t wash.
You can’t trash someone’s reputation after it’s already been been established as decent.

Police protection is not for sale. It is provided as necessary - although sadly not for people like the victims of domestic violence.

Harry can pay for his security as usual when he visits the UK, and if the risks require it will get additional security from the Met without needing to pay.

But he can't pay for the ego trip of specialist protection officers.

The Metropolitan Police, district police forces across England & Wales, Police Scotland and the Police Service Of Northern Ireland are NOT available* *for hire to anyone with money.

If Harry and Meghan want to pay for their own security in the UK, they can do what every other celebrity does and pay a private security firm. 🤷‍♂️

That's very reasonable.

She may well have been spoken well of by people who knew her. But she was hardly a household name.

Many, many people have tried to break into the industry, so her role in Suits was certainly a success. But it wasn't a breakthrough, and was coming to an end without being a stepping stone to other roles.

Good on her for what she achieved, which is far more than most aspiring actors. But let's not overstate her success or recognition value

Edited for typo

I’d never heard of her or Suits before Harry

And how could you not know that armed Met protection is not for sale ??

They don't speak highly of her anymore

I had never watched suits (still haven't) never heard of her before she got with Harry believe it or not we all don't watch TV series on a regular basis

Meghan was hardly a public figured before this, and certainly her circumstances changed dramatically after her marriage. She was a supporting character in a successful show but not one with a huge audience. She had limited exposure and also likely had little to no influence. She scrapped to get there and remain and being on good behavior was important. I have no doubt that she was highly professional and hard working in that role. She also was working in an industry that she knew well.

Some people change when they’ve gained a bit of power. I’m not saying this is what happened but surely it’s not the same being a duchess has having a role on a tv show.

Why are you saying this like it is something shameful to be scathing about? She was an employed tv actor. That's ok. That's a thing. It's a job. Lots of people are successful tv actors. There are loads of people on tv shows I don't know because I don't watch those shows. My ignorance is hardly a comment on them. She had amassed a few million. She was doing well. How is any of this something to look down upon ?

@petticuliar - I was just answering the other comment - I think you're reading it in a manner you'd like to use rather than what I said

DM running an article saying Harry and Meghan did not have the queens approval to use the name Lilibet. And the Queen was angrier than than the courtier had ever seen her. When tabloids suggested the Queen did approve H & M tried to get BP to say she did approve. BP refused. If this is true another lie from the pair.

Just been reading this latest excerpt from Robert Hardman’s book .
No doubt some posters will rubbish the claim but it was well documented at the time of Lilibet’s birth that H and M did not receive the late Queen’s agreement to use her personal nickname . Of course H and M fired off legal letters including one to the BBC threatening to sue if they did not remove their claim that HM didn’t agree to the name . The BBC didn’t remove the item and H and M didn’t sue.
Robert Hardman is a very respected writer .

even if she had given permission, I think it was a bloody crass choice. It was her childhood nickname, very personal to her and used only by about 3 of her closest family members. Very crass to use this name.

This is one of those things that in a normal family wouldn't be a thing. Can you imagine this on AIBU? We'd like to name our daughter after DH's grandmother. Do we need permission? (It's not as if the Royal Family doesn't have form for recycling names)

If she was named after the grandmother, then why isn't she called Elizabeth? Lilibet is very specific. It's a pet name for the late Queen used by those closest to her. Being called Princess Lilibet Diana is certainly very distinctive.
It's their child, their choice, but it's an interesting one.

Several of the grandchildren have Elizabeth as a middle name which is fine . I think H and M wanted to suggest that they had an extra special bond with the late Queen plus imagine the photo op ? When Lilibet met Lilibet !
One of my granddaughters has my first name as a middle name which is lovely but I would have been very surprised if they had used the abbreviated version that people close to me use.

Yes, and proved in court but surely it's time to not concentrate on Meghan and Harry.
They have opted out and seek more privacy.

Who cares?

Maybe they are as dysfunctional as claimed.
But then a lot of the RF are. They are being thrown under the bus to distract us from Paedo Andrew, and all the other dysfunctional members of the RF.
Admittedly as someone who was once a royalist I am finding every time I see pro "fragrant"Kate propaganda it turns my stomach.
There is a lot rotten at the core of the royal family (just a glance at the King's beloved Uncle Mountbatten indicates that).

I always thought it was a weird name choice for their daughter, a nickname derived because of a toddler speech difficulty, cute as a nickname, awful as a given name. I guess Lilibeth fits in with the Hollyweird name giving by celebs.

I totally agree. And the press manipulation works for a lot of people.
