Page 2 | To really like Meghan markle

sofasofa42 · 15/12/2022 23:16

I feel a bit ashamed that I believed the media tbh. I have watched the Netflix doc. I believe them. I also don't enjoy the media coverage of the documentary, which actually stands up to what they are saying .
Ultimately, anyone who cares needs a life audit.

They are slating the machine behind the royal family. Not the actual people. Potentially at times, what the machine makes their family members do. Honestly - please get all of them out of the press. I am done with it.

Or we all need to get rid of the monarchy and then a law passed about press intrusion.

I think it will be interesting to see how the next 20 years play out.

Theunamedcat · 15/12/2022 23:18

I'm ambivalent on her public persona I don't know her personally and some of her complaints rub me up the wrong way but ultimately I find her a bit.....meh who cares

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 15/12/2022 23:19

I like her too and can totally understand why they have done this Netflix series.

It's definitely changed my mind about them.

FeelWellEnoughToTellYou · 15/12/2022 23:19

I find her very likable. I have never understood the level of hate thrown at them. They don't deserve it.

Having watched all 6 episodes of the Netflix series, Harry and Meghan seem to me to be a lovely couple who weren’t prepared to slot into soulless little boxes to suit the British establishment. They then had to fight for their independence and her mental health. I admire Meghan’s work for women’s rights and welfare both before and since her relationship with Harry.

She gives me the creeps.

That just seems like a stupid thing to say 🤷‍♀️ On what basis?

ScarlettOHaraHamiltonKennedyButler · 15/12/2022 23:23

I'm no fan and I find both a bit whingey and think they should prove their worth by actually doing something with their charity instead of constabtly moaning that their diamond shoes are too tight.

However, as someone who doesn't fit in with my inlaws at all, I can sympathise with her to an extent. In particular the balcony video with Harry telling her to turn around she looks very upset and uncomfortable. I think she thought she could join the royals and then still do things her way and was taught a harsh lesson.

She comes across like a Kardashian

She is as far from a Kardashian as you could possibly observe.

ElephantsBurp · 15/12/2022 23:25

She has had an incredibly rough time in this country and I am glad they are able to live relatively happily now. The machine has been stacked against them here.

WishIhadacrystalball · 15/12/2022 23:27

I believe them to an extent and think that they come across well. However I think that should William and Kate make one I think I would feel the same. I’m not big on the royal family but did always like Harry as he seemed the most ‘normal’ of them all. I dislike MM, I get a bad vibe from her and after the Oprah interview felt like she would leave him in a few years and he’d be devastated and quite alone.
I don’t think Harry has seemed as happy since being with her but then that could be because of what they have been going through. We will never know the real truth because it will be somewhere in the middle. People can like who they want but when they dislike someone they should be courteous enough to leave them be instead of all this online hounding.

I agree

ElephantsBurp · 15/12/2022 23:28

@LocalHobo couldn’t agree more.

Also, it would be nice if certain gutter press elements would stop the constant onslaught.

Hello Doria.

Nanatokidsdogshampsters · 15/12/2022 23:30

I think the British public welcomed her with open arms.
Most people didn't care what colour/race she was.
But now she has thrown it back in their faces.
Tells lost of lies. Says we are all racist.
We paid for a lovely wedding.
But that wasn't good enough.
Grace and favour home to live in that is also wrong.
A few years ago Harry stated that he wanted to go and
and live in South Africa and work for the conservation society.
Most of the British public wanted him to be happy.
They wanted a quiet life yet they are on television more times
then Philip Scoffield.

Your second sentence says it all.

Ineedwinenow · 15/12/2022 23:33

I’d like her more if she did amazing things with the money and power she now has! She could do proper documentaries on peoples struggles or raise real awareness to issues surrounding the causes that mean so much to her but both her and Harry are stuck in the past not moving forward.

She’s spending longer talking about the Royal family than she was in it! I feel sorry for her that she didn’t gel with her in laws, I didn’t gel with mine either but I wouldn’t go on the international stage airing dirty laundry about the family and the family business, I would just walk away and move on with my life and try my best to do incredible things for myself and my family

Go to bed then.

Livelovebehappy · 15/12/2022 23:35

Don’t like her. I’ve formed an opinion about her, and haven’t seen anything on the self serving Netflix documentaries to change my mind. But I guess none of us are liked by everyone. I respect that other people have a different view of her to me.

JoyfulGirl · 15/12/2022 23:35

Obviously I don’t know her and she could be awful in real life, but from what I’ve seen yes, I do like her and admire her. I can’t really understand the hatred to be honest.

ElfShake · 15/12/2022 23:36

I don’t like or dislike her, but I don’t blame her at all for standing up and telling her own story. It would be so much easier for them to just disappear into the background, but then they’d have to live with that their whole lives.

Meghan has not accused the British public of being racist.

PleaseDontSayEvriIsMyCourier · 15/12/2022 23:38

I do too, I think she's amazing

ZiriForEver · 15/12/2022 23:39

They want their cake and eat it too.

If they wanted a quiet&civil life, yes, sure. If they wanted out of royal duties and media, yes, no objections.
Trying to monetize their position in royal family (what was that stunt with Sussex Royal), is lazy and lying.
