Meghan 'offended' for telling Kate she had 'baby brain'

[fartichoke]

Well, the Daily Fail have got their hands on a Spanish copy of the ''memoir'', so there is going to be shrapnel flying about from now until kingdom come.

One of these ''revelations'' is that Meghan made a joke about Kate having ''baby brain hormones'' a month after having Louis, which upset Kate, which in turn then upset Meghan.

Can you imagine the Oprah-style feeding frenzy had this been reversed - Kate telling Meghan that she had baby brain and hormones, which would have perfectly tapped into the villainous ice queen depiction that H&M are flogging right now?

Harry is soap operatising the royal family in the most sensational and tabloid dripfeed way possible (calling his brother his 'archnemesis'.

He is shockingly narcissistic, if he thinks this is not also going to also blow up on him and Meghan. The hypocrisy and whole thing is a shit show.

But William isn’t positioning himself as the ‘wronged’. Kate has never publicly said anything bad about Meghan. Neither are pretending to be ‘pure’.

H&M are the aggressors by throwing accusations around. They are positioning themselves as the victims. If you are going to do that you have to have a clean sheet. So expect some flack and scrutiny when it comes out that you also have your skeletons.

meghans hypocrisy is highlighted here, by making a derogatory and sexist remark to a family member whilst at the same time pontificating about sexism and her own victimhood on a podcast.

No one is expected to be flawless, but hypocrisy is another matter.

be bad. Make mistakes. Just don’t be a fucking hypocrite.

Sorry just read the comment that Kate was intimidated by meghans intelligence

That's literally comedy gold.

That's my feeling too. They seem genuinely believe what they say (mostly).

It was also in Omid Scobies book, the one Meghan was found to have collaborated with by the High Court. He said that Meghan told her the flowers weren't enough and threw the flowers away

So well put fartichoke

Err watch videos of them speaking in public Meghan comes over all Presidential,accomplished and assured as for Kate you will struggle to find any and when you do let's just say the earth wasn't shattered.

Kate's speeches - they are not that hard to find.

Meghan's speeches

@vera99

she may sound nice, but it’s usually word salad, grandiose embellishments and lies if you focus on what she is actually saying.

Who wants to spend time having to fact check narc talk in 2023

@Ohnonevermind Both Kate and Meghan are giving speeches about charities they are visiting or working with.

"Presidential "? Are you having a laugh? Which version of Presidential are you using here? Lincoln or trump?

Lest we forget Trump was actual President of the most powerful country in history, arguably the Duchess of Sussex is better if we were to compare the two. Not good I agree but this is the world we live in.We're just the most evolved animals after all. Monarchy has had its day in the old times you fought your way amongst your peers to gain and hold onto the Crown and there was a brutal inexorable logic to it all. That boat has long since sailed and post QE2 the ridiculousness of it all is becoming starkly apparent.

I've no idea where you're coming from. Sorry.

Your three year old talks like that?

Meghan is a trained actress. If she wants to act presidential she can. Just like she famously once said she can pull out tears in two minutes and she did.

Meghan's 'I I I me me me' speech was earth shattering and accomplished, was it? Ok....

Meghan should be good at speeches because she’s a trained actress and like many actors she loves being in the spotlight (not a bad thing; the world needs people like that). Kate seems to prefer one to one conversation where she’s very animated and sounds very schoolgirl with her speeches but she’s always prepared and earnest and has something to get across. Not sure why it’s important that Meghan wins at speeches but she should! And she had a lot to offer in that department. Having said that the royals generally understand the visuals are more important than the speeches - no one quotes Diana on land mines but the images of her in a minefield are iconic. Turning up is 99% of the job. Meghan didn’t understand that they don’t make policy, which is sad - she clearly felt frustrated that she wasn’t getting to do more but that’s not the gig.

Presidential 🤣

Jesus Christ the misogyny dripping from this. I can’t imagine seething with contempt for other women all the time surely it’s exhausting.

There’s plenty to criticise without reverting to this. Disgusting.

Everyone says the wrong thing sometimes, I think it's how it's handled that matters. Writing about it in a book to discredit the other person isn't nice. I do feel sorry for Megan and Harry with their invasion of privacy but there is no need to slag off their family members in a book, it's just adding fuel to the fire.

Indeed 😁
Fawn fawn.

If one of my SiLs made a ‘baby brain’ or ‘hormones’ comment to me I’d be decidedly unimpressed and think them the vacuous one.

It’s a lazy trope, and unhelpfully passive-aggressive.

All I’m learning from all this is that Harry and Megan are deeply damaged, screwed up individuals, and Harry comes across as being under his wife’s control, rather than a competent, stable, independent individual capable of surviving alone in the real world. I’m not learning much more about the rest of the Royal family, because they aren’t stupid enough to talk.

So what did Meghan actually say? Even the Mail is reporting it like this, which doesn't actually sound that bad.

Meghan initially said she couldn’t remember but then added: “I remember: you had forgotten something and I said that it didn’t matter, that it was because of pregnancy. Because you just had a child. Because of the hormones’.

To me that sounds more like "oh don't worry about forgetting, you're pregnant so I understand" rather than "you silly bint, you've got baby brain".

Good on her for telling William to get his finger out of her face though. Bet he was taken aback!

Writing about it in a book to discredit the other person isn't nice.

Well, so far Meghan and Harry have included it in Finding Freedom, majored on it in Oprah, mentioned it in one of the big magazine features Meghan has had to publicise her podcast and now Harry’s gone over it again in his book. They look a trifle obsessed with this incident, to be honest…
