To really like Meghan markle

[summer788]

I really do

I’m trying to work out the Why? Why they’re doing this?

whatever therapy they’ve had they need new therapists. They should have gone past this validation/truth piece by now. They’ve put their boundaries in by moving countries, plenty of wealthy people undertake charitable work without the media attention as do everyday people.

I agree with this.

Don’t particularly have strong feelings, but it does seem unusual that she is ‘no contact’ with every member of her family, bar one and now he is with his.

I think it’s a shame, as for years it (seemed) as if Harry, William and Kate all got on really well.

I don’t know her personally but what I’ve seen doesn’t encourage me to like her.

I'm mostly just bored of the lot of them.
It does seem rather unfortunate that she's fallen out with most of her family and now Harry has done likewise with his. What are the odds?

I don’t like their twee ‘H’ and ‘M’ thing, I think it’s weird that even her friends and Mother call them H and M…

Other than that, I think they come across quite well. I’m well aware it’s their narrative, orchestrated by them though so obviously completely biased. I’d like to hear the other side of the story but I know Kate and Will never would/could.

She's very close to her mum and niece - that's two. She's obviously fallen out with her dad and her step sister (who she didn't even grow up with) and who can blame her after what they've done? I don't think she has a very big family does she so it's hardly like she's alienating relatives right left and centre.

I don't believe Harry has fallen out with his whole family has he? Just his dad and brother. The Netflix programme showed Eugenie visiting for example and I don't for one minute believe he didn't maintain some sort of reasonable relationship with the Queen.

@motherofqilins

I imagine she knew nothing about the inner workings of Royal Family. The daughter of the woman that said she was obsessed with Princess Diana has said that her mother's comments were exaggerated by the press.

If she described a private exchange of vows as a wedding, isn't that sweet? She didn't say it was their legal wedding ceremony.

Apparently she did contribute to her own education:

She didn't name the cast member that said that to her. She is not quoted as saying it was a cast member. The tabloids asked a South African cast member did he have that conversation with her and he said No. No proven lie there.

All of those examples are insignificant, even if they were outright lies. The incredible scrutiny on everything she says is ridiculous.

Yes because he didn't have anyone else. She isn't some evil woman who has come and stolen him away. He comes across as pretty strong willed to me! I just think he was lonely, and she has saved him. He doesn't need them anymore.

I’ve never been to a wedding where one of the couple only had ONE family member there. Don’t you think that’s quite unusual?

Unusual maybe, but I don't think it means anything. Some people don't have big families or aren't close to them. Doesn't make them a bad person. Maybe their family are toxic?

I don’t know her so can’t comment….how do you know her?

I neither like her or dislike her as I don't know here. However, I do believe her. I do have a very close friend who worked closely with the royal family who has told me that it is all about protecting the institution - everything is about that at all costs. I think her "no contact" with her own family is irrelevant. Lots of people are far healthier mentally by getting rid of toxic family. Even therapists recommend people to do that.

@MoggyMittens23 I did also point that out to my mum that it was unusual when commenting on the wedding. No old university or school friends either which does strike me as there could be some merit to the idea that she struggles to maintain relationships with people

She seems perfectly fine to me I think all the squawking is very much manipulated by the media.

She has a bloody awful family on her dad’s side and I’d steer well clear of them too.

Harry’s family is doing to him exactly what they did to Diana - we’ve seen all this all before.

But because Anne has been satisfied with her lot, doesn't mean that everyone else has to be.

Personally I couldn't cope with all of those negative stories. Royal children don't have a choice they are born into it and paraded in front of the cameras. It's much worse too nowadays because of the internet.

People have said horrible things about Louis and Charlotte. I know I couldn't deal with that.

As for Meghan family. Who did she have really? Her mum seems nice and moral, her dad sold his soul and her dads family seem like a right bunch. You can't blame her for her family.

It seems to me that Meghan thought that she could be a Royal but couldn't cope with the life and what it meant. Yes they could have scurried off quietly but they obviously believe that they've been treated badly and want to tell their side of the story. Plus rightly or wrongly they need to make money somehow.

The way people go on you'd think they were serial killers.

@Skatingqueen I agree with all that. Except that she came in for a media kicking that I’ve never seen any of the royals take - even Fergie. I don’t think anyone in the family can grasp the distress of the racial element to the abuse, as they’ve never experienced it. The other thing is that she was not British and thus had no support network here unlike Fergie or Diana.

Surely Princess Anne was only the spare until Andrew was born when she must have been about 10? So as an adult I don't think she ever filled the role of spare. Until the Succession Act came in she came after Andrew and Edward in the line of succession I think?

Anne is also about 70 and I don't think the media was quite so intrusive when she was Harry/Meghan's age. And there certainly was no internet/social media/trolls etc.

Also, she is a completely different kettle of fish to Meghan and grew up in the royal family so knew how things worked.

Very sadly, this.

I was very happy to see her join the RF and her wedding was lovely, but she has shown herself to lie blantantly & all this mud-slinging lacks dignity.

Like someone else said, I don't know her but if I had to have a night out with her or Kate I'd chose MM any day. There's a lot of racism around, I'm also mixed race and I have a lot of respect for her and how she's dealt with the nightmare of the royal family, I'd like to tell her how much it meant to my dad in particular to see a family like ours so prominent at their wedding. So much of her and Harry's relationship is wonderful, best of luck to them I think.

Yep! You could imagine having a laugh with Megan over a few glasses of wine and a pizza. Kate on the other hand would probably be pushing around a few prawns on her plate, and not go overboard the sparkling water.

The pure unadulterated hatred for her on some of the threads on here is truely scary!
I really hope they are coming from bot accounts and not real people!

What exactly is it about her you find awful - I wonder...

We see you

You can like whoever you want. No idea why it needs a post though?

Shall I start one saying I don't like her?
