Out of curiosity as many people are airing views about her. But what is she actually like in the flesh?
I'm not a fan at all but she comes across as lovely when interviewed

Investigations are frequently kept confidential as you'll know from your experience of workplace investigations. People are interviewed in confidence.

But it doesn't matter anyway as PH is giving his side of the story - which is his choice. We can choose to believe it or not. And those who don't believe every word they read are not by default "vacuous Brits". And not everybody hates her.

People can have a view or a laugh without having to be in one camp or another. It's not a football stadium!!!

Neither she nor Harry has ever said they want privacy - that's rubbish.

Yes they did! Harry's Megxit speech said EXACTLY that, people have such short memories.

So did Harry in the Army!

What about Harry in the army?

Bunnyfuller · 09/01/2023 22:18

The documentary was not fly on the wall, it was staged, contrived, scripted. As was Oprah. As was everything else. I don’t like or dislike them as people - I don’t know them. I discount how they ‘appear’ in public or in the media, because it’s contrived.

what I don’t like is them making money out of who they are, making accusations that are vague news and therefore indefensible, and doing everything they possibly can to draw attention to themselves, after leaving in a fanfare of ‘leave us alone’.

Harry’s brain appears to be fried. He is still suffering from losing his mum at a young age, what he was told about it, and no doubt lacking a comforting presence after her death. It was his little face that was heartbreaking following the coffin and I think that’s left him very resentful, very gullible and very hurt.

This and Andrew has made me long even more for the end of the monarchy. It was obscene before this, now it is a parody, and one we should not be financing. They have plenty. Draw a line now and be done with it. This is no longer ok.

@WisteriaLodge do you have a link showing that?

Bluekerfuffle · 09/01/2023 21:17

Maybe, but couldn’t she have just told him then instead of the cold shoulder treatment?

Why the hell would she owe creepy and phone hacking Piers any kind of explanation?

I don't think you understand what they meant and what privacy means.

If i burst into your home by kicking the door down. That's invading your privacy.

If you decide you want me to come round, invite me, open the door and welcome me. That isn't.

I've heard she played a character in Suits that looked adorable, but was dreadful. Seems like she was typecast.

She played a nice character and played her well, I liked the programme before I knew anything about her and Harry. I think she was genuinely well liked in it and people were sad when she left, due to meeting Harry.

Jakadaal · 09/01/2023 22:25

She is an actress

pattihews · 09/01/2023 22:25

I'm sure that as long as you do precisely what she asks quickly and efficiently and without fuss, and as long as you agree with her and tell her how clever and perceptive she is, and how beautiful, and how mean and racist and vicious everyone else is, you'll be fine. The day you fail to be totally empathic and don't sympathise quite enough or — heaven help you — offer your own opinion... well, who knows?

AutumnScream · 09/01/2023 22:26

Not me but my sister met Harry once and in her opinion found him ignorant and rude and really full of himself. She used to like him until she met him.

Fabfam · 09/01/2023 22:27

Not me personally ,but it’s fair to say that close friend who has worked for RF has not enthused about her . Friend has worked for RF for many years and has been very professional about RF .

nonono1 · 09/01/2023 22:27

I think this must be the text exchange between Meghan and Kate that a PP was referring to?

Drfosters · 09/01/2023 22:28

I have always thought if you met her she is probably absolutely lovely. The issue is more a clash of US (particularly west coast LA) Vs Uk culture. She is very direct (as evidenced with those alleged text messages). I wouldn’t expect if people at work wanted me to do something to just say here is your work, just do it. I’d be expected it was said in a slightly nicer manner. Same result obviously but I can see how her manner came across as rude and brusque and she would have been genuinely confused as to why people were upset with her. She saw her assistant as someone who works for her and paid to do her bidding, my assistant at work is my colleague and equal and we work together to get things done. This is why possibly the brits saw it as bullying and she was adamant it wasn’t. That doesn’t excuse a lot of what they have said but I can understand why her American fiends have not got a bad thing to say. (This is clearly generalising and stereotyping so I apologise if people think I’m talking rubbish!)

Because it suits the agenda of the royal brown nosers.

The vacuous Brits who pin their own identity on their idolised royal family just can’t cope with the earth-shattering reality that it’s a toxic institution for those within and without it.

The fact that Harry has left the royal family shows that nobody has to do anything.

What really annoys me is the blame that Meghan gets for this. No, it’s just that Harry has found a support network outside of the toxic circles he grew up in and had found the confidence to not only leave but get his kids out of it, too. And for that, I admire him.

I’m neither vacuous or a Brit thanks, but I can still see Meghan is fake af.

Bluekerfuffle · 09/01/2023 17:34

Well Piers Morgan has met her and he’s not a fan 🤣

Piers Morgan is obsessed with her because she blanked him. I don’t blame her he is the most irritating man I have ever watched.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 09/01/2023 22:37

have met the queen a few times but not to talk to

Eh? How does that work? You can't say you've "met" someone if you've not even had a conversation with them! Are you one of these big royal fans who go and stand in crowds?

Orangefir · 09/01/2023 22:38

If you look at the criticism from the Sussex staff- it’s not that she’s shouting and screaming in peoples faces (although there was the teacup incident). It’s having her attention on you which they said was like a warm glow but when things didn’t go her way, she withdrew and was colder. I think she’s unable to handle negative emotion and evades. But anyone who has experienced this knows how unsettling it is, you feel it’s your fault and you don’t know where you stand. Explains how she dealt with her father etc. Also, Seemingly she didn’t deal with junior members of staff (I’m guessing this is just taking the lead from Harry with him feeling like the spare and railing against it)

You can be lots of things to different people. I think she is probably extremely charming and warm with some people, not so much with others. It’s this what people fail to connect with. it’s the same with Ellen and James Corden, that the sunny demeanour appears as fake when behind closed doors behaviour is different. I do think she’s confident/forthright and in a stuffy British institution thats seen as rude. But these etiquette rules that the monarchy live and die by is what keeps them in business. It’s just a bad fit.

You could also argue the great strain she was under while in the UK, meant that her behaviour became more demanding. Which is understandable but not excusable. Particularly when it seems she would have people who would be targeted (HR email to William). People act out when they are stressed/unhappy. I mean look of the state of Harry and how he is acting right now.

Sorrynotsorry22 · 09/01/2023 22:39

I've not met her but she was definitely a role model at first. I loved her look and style but as she's gone further down in popularity lve distanced myself completely from looking like her ( l didn't much to begin with but l liked her style)
I watched the netflix thing and found her a little bit touchy feels and 'american' ie ott and full of the slightly overwhelming USA positivity and up speak.

I thought maybe she'd infected Harry with all the navel gazing but it seems he's quite capable of gazing into his own navel without much help save a media hungry gor more.

So no, lve not met her, if l did l'd be overjoyed and slightly amused. I think l would tower over her as she looks diminutive and l'd feel like a big lump ! 😄

LadyHarmby · 09/01/2023 16:34

Well, none of her colleagues on Suits, her friends, ex-boyfriends or indeed her ex-husband have sold a story slagging her off so that tells you something about her doesn’t it?

I’m not counting her so-called half-sister who clearly lacks credibility.

I agree.

1Dream · 09/01/2023 22:57

I'm friends with someone who worked on a popular show with her and they are still close (I lived with my friends family on an exchange home program in school and kept in touch with her)
She said Meghan is really genuine and nice but when she was a part of the Royal family she wasn't allowed to keep in touch with her friends which is sad but now they are talking again.

ItWasDobbinAtTheMareAndSpare · 09/01/2023 22:57

I suspect she’s pretty direct but it doesn’t make her a bad person. Based on her response to Kate, who you might think she’d be on best behaviour with, it is pretty short (not saying it isn’t on both sides). It has the tone of the alleged thing about saying to a staff member “Don't worry. If there was literally anyone else I could ask to do this, I would be asking them instead of you,” I think some people can be on the receiving end of that kind of thing and shrug and for other people it’s upsetting. I suspect, like most people, it’s more this way when stressed. But! I bet it didn’t help that the staff were often caught between two (or even three) sides. Like kids in a bad divorce.

What were their thoughts on William?

I worked with a doctor who worked with William when he was flying ambulances. He said he was brilliant, a real team player who mucked in and was always the first to put the kettle on. He was apparently also excellent at his job. The team was very sorry when he left.
