She was an actual yacht girl unlike Meghan who they like to slur with that accusation.
not going down to your level of thinking but Soho house girl is also a not very nice word to be described ,

wishingyouwell · 18/12/2022 11:39

@cox nobody said they were okay, the point is the racial slurs were much worse and only applied to Archie. The lizard comment would have applied to Archie also.

I had read she had worked on yatchs other's presumptions are down to them. I had only ever come across the term in regards to Meghan.

You described the term as a ‘slur’. Do you really expect anyone to believe you thought it described any girl/woman who worked as a deckhand on a boat?

Your faux wide eyed naivety is not convincing.

You knew what you were saying. And now you’re backtracking.

Not at all. It was a baseless accusation. Shame people do that to retaliate

Kate has had the same partner since she was nineteen. Meghan on the other hand ... how on earth could that be insinuated? Laughable.

Oh, are we doing “Kate is pure” and “Meghan has had more partners” today? I’ll reshuffle the hate Rolodex.

I have responded with a 2011 Mail link but MN have censored it.

vera99 · 18/12/2022 11:50

It was a saucy article by Richard Kay their main royal correspondent.

Also it’s bollocks that most documentaries are “balanced”. Most are to push a particular narrative/agenda or do an exposé on a topic. Is Stacey Dooley “balanced” when she talks about women being abused in various foreign countries? Does she interview people who say, actually it’s not that bad, this is a tiny extreme, most women in this country are fine? Does David Attenborough put across the view of scientists who don’t believe in climate change? No because it’s more of an awareness-raising documentary and most docs I’ve seen clearly have a POV to show (like trying to portray certain countries as backward shitholes).

It’s not so much it’s not balanced, it’s that’s it’s dishonest.

Editing speeches to change their meaning (leaving out ‘to your service’), telling a narrative but omitting key facts (JN submitted evidence because M lied).

Its a bit ironic given their campaign against ‘misinformation’.
But people here clearly condone that, because ‘it’s normal for documentaries to do that’.

No, it’s not. Not good ones.

Ohnonevermind · 18/12/2022 11:56

They cut a speech to change its meaning to suit. I can’t imagine that can sit well with the Kennedy’s or the Obama‘s.

That shows a ‘dishonesty’ in the documentary.

bakalava · 18/12/2022 11:59

That one is on Liz Garbus (wife of a Kennedy) who understands how to place snippets of speech in and out of context. Meghan (bless her) never even got the meaning of archetypes right after months of reflection.

PicturesOfDogs · 18/12/2022 12:01

I think personal attacks against both ladies are pathetic.
Why can’t we discuss people’s actions without it descending into the personal?

I know H&M have a problem with media intrusion, and unfortunately they have gone about it in completely the wrong way, and opened themselves up to the media to dissect everything they do and say.

That doesn’t mean I ‘hate’ them btw. I just think they couldn’t have gone about it in a worse way, considering their aims

HettysTether · 18/12/2022 12:03

I don't think there is any need to compare Kate and Meghan.It's like comparing Diana and Fergie. Diana was the future queen and Fergie not very important.

Kate is our future queen and Meghan is unimportant in this context. It's like comparing apples and pears. No matter how (in)famous Meghan may be or how much H&M are talked about, the Sussexes don't matter in the context of royal history.

I am sure the Waleses are watching Harry's behaviour closely so that they can support their own home-grown spares and ensure their lovey dc will never fail and fall out like W&H.

Kate used to be a “actual prostitute”? Wow when was this? Was she so devastated by breaking up with William in 2007 that she turned to prostitution, or are you saying it was before she went to university, Ie she was a child prostitute/victim of CSA?

Or do you just mean she had a gap year experience on a round-the-world yacht, which has as much to do with being “an actual yacht girl” as working in a call centre has to do with being a call girl.

Agree. This is Clarkson level commenting for reaction.

vera99 · 18/12/2022 12:09

That link that I posted from a 2011 Mail article triggered a MN autosensor bot. It would appear what was fair game in the British tabloids by the Mails now chief Royal Correspondent is being airbrushed by the media including MN in 2022. Not that I meant anything scurrilous by linking it but it highlights the sensitivity of defending the Crown from each any any robust debate. Diana and now H and M are right to feel paranoid at the forces they have unleashed they are very real and powerful.

bakalava · 18/12/2022 12:10

Kate is irritatingly squeaky clean so I am baffled by people trying to imply differently. Meghan has a longer, far more interesting and varied dating history which probably makes her a more interesting person to know (there is always an upside).

I don't know why these naive acting young posters come on to discussions to try to reverse the very obvious. Maybe focus on a different point if you need to compare them.

My comment was based on the Mail article I cannot link to.I don't pretend to be an expert just a rabid Google and to compare what I wrote to Clarkson bilge is the height of ridiculous hyperbole.

I’m glad you are reacting to my post as many did to your baseless accusations of KM being a yacht girl.

Yes I think you did it for a reaction, which you got.

She's not married to a Kennedy. Her business partner is a Kennedy. Sister of the crossness who gave them the fighting racism award.

You said Kate used to work as “an actual prostitute”.

vera99 · 18/12/2022 12:17

The accusations that all yatch girls are actual prostitutes was never made by me for the record and my reference was on respect to Meghan who as far as we know has never worked on a yatch but is an actress. Back inEdwardians times that was also a euphemism as in the actress and the Bishop....

No I did absolutely not as I have made clear.
