Has anyone ever met Megan?

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

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.

That would be sad, she had her baby shower etc though?

I have met Meghan she was fantastic

I have also met Kate. She wears her smile out in public as a mask to hide a deeply irritable and unpleasant diva persona.

(And we did sign and NDA by the way)

Who signed NDA’s?

Orangefir · 09/01/2023 23:06

I think we can all assume that those that have said they’ve met her (bearing in mind Meghan herself stated her life became smaller and she hardly left palace/castle walls in her 18 months) ….haven’t

That's the total opposite of what I've heard about Kate, a poster on here said (a couple of years ago) that they bumped into Kate on a beach in Norfolk and said she was delightful, she even bought the OPs kids ice cream...

Narcissists do come across as lovely, it's part of the act. I believe her ex husband is also writing a book, it will be interesting to hear his side, as she dropped him like a hot brick when she got the job on Suits, she thought she had come up in the world. Before she met PH she wanted to meet Matt Cardle of the Ex Factor, and one other z lister, now she has struck gold with an English prince, manipulating him so that he is now estranged from his family. Yes, i know he is a grown man at 38, but he also has MH issues, and being the clever minx she has used this to her own advantage. I wonder with all this hype and publicity (Netflix) she wants to be a Hollywood A lister, invited to the Oscars, etc. As if !

Interesting. To me she comes across as a narcissistic bore.

Poonicorn · 09/01/2023 23:15

I can't imagine anyone but a narcissist making comments like the Africans dancing in the streets when she got married like when Mandela was released.

With all of the half truths and lies it is obvious that there is a specific picture she wants to paint of herself that isn't authentic.

jazzybelle · 09/01/2023 23:15

Piers Morgan is a journalist who played his connection to Meghan and he also played the crowd. He wrote he liked Meghan. She was great and the public liked her. She ghosted him and later her popularity waned. So he wrote many increasingly hysterical articles about her to feed the appetite of an increasingly hysterical public. He is a journalist. He made money from Meghan mania.

Money was his true motive.

Bigdealio · 09/01/2023 23:16

I haven't met Meghan but I like her. She comes across as friendly and down to earth. REady to muck in and also eager to contribute.

I like that she is well educated, very articulate, built her career and had a few milestones under her belt before meeting Harry. As a mixed race person, she knows what it's like to make herself heard in a situation where people automatically assume she's stupid and want to silence her.

Kate is also very talented, at dieting.

It takes a narcissist to know one.

If you read Valentine Low’s book there’s lots of unedifying detail about how she behaves to staff (and to people she thinks are staff eg the Governor General of Australia and his wife) when the cameras aren’t rolling.

My theory is that her public persona is not genuine but acting and that keeping that up for so long is very stressful so when she stops she really lets people have it.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2016/may/08/prince-harry-criticises-incessant-intrusions-private-life-video

Where we all have an "incessant need to see what goes on behind the scenes"

I wish he'd paid more attention to himself. The whole situation is a sad, slow motion car crash. I've gone from thinking she was a great asset to the rf, to wondering about the hate, to agreeing with the criticism as it's so easy to disprove so many of what they've said, to getting overwhelmed with the constant onslaught of "what Harry and Meghan said" to feeling really sorry for the royal family. Harry has had a privileged life but is consumed by paranoia and jealousy and has burned the bridge with the only person who perhaps truly empathises with him. For the sake of their kids if no one else - they should stop now.

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 was the context in which that comment was alleged to have been said? The "if there was literally anyone else I could ask to do this..." comment?

Context is SO important when it comes to allegations about the Royal Family, or anyone in the public eye come to that. For all we know, the staff member was about to finish their shift, Meghan needed something doing and the staff member hesitated or glanced at the clock or something or it was known that the staff member had to leave imminently for a particular reason, and no-one was else was available to do the task. For all we know, the comment was said in an apologetic kind of way, a kind of "sorry, I know it's not ideal and that you're about to clock off, but there is no-one else available. If there was, I'd ask them."

Lol!!! Sorry how was a woman of nearly 40 ‘not allowed’ to keep in touch with her former friends. More BS. Did they turn the modem off at 10pm and she couldn’t email?!

Lochjeda · 09/01/2023 23:36

I met her in the local corner shop once when I'd nipped across and she'd popped in on her way to Wimbledon to buy a 20 pack of Royals Red Kings and a pack of Spearmint. She was lovely and asked if I fancied a pint after the Tennis but ended up standing me up. Her loss.

🙄 Can’t you build one woman up without having to be vile about another?

Thoughtful2355 · 09/01/2023 23:37

I have, twice. Cant say much. can say it was a mediocre no from me. not great not terrible. felt a bit hurt at some interactions

Reigateforever · 09/01/2023 23:38

More people may see her in the next few days as the entire Montecito area, has been ordered to evacuate due to very bad weather

Why pitch the 2 women against each other in such a bitchy way?

Eyerollcentral · 09/01/2023 23:39

Who would assume she was stupid because she was mixed race? Really odd thing to say. As for Kate, think a degree from St Andrew’s is at least equivalent to a degree from Northwestern is it not? Kate’s not worked really but I don’t think Meghan being in a cable TV show is a towering achievement either if I’m honest. Fizz from Corrie has a bigger audience

Spot on re Meghan.

Well educated, articulate, amiable.

I wish them both the best of luck.

Met Harry - arrogant, up himself, rude to women, he was 30 at the time and not married - the RF protected him with the cheeky crappy image - he’s really not a nice person. He feels he can do anything he wants - second son behaves like Andrew in some respects - stomping his foot, very woe is me, blamed everyone and everything for his behaviour.

Except Andrew is a sex offender and nobody seems half as bothered about that.

You know people can be bothered about both Prince Andrew and Harry equally, right?

Or do we always have to try and use the Andrew thing as a counter argument in H&M discussions?

@Bigdealio
"It takes a narcissist to know one"
Really? I could'nt come across as charming even if I tried, what you see is what you get, a forthright Northerner, not an LA wannabe. I have been reading about what makes a narcissist,
Obsessed with success, grandiosity and the need for power and dominance.
Hypercritical of others, but super sensitive if others criticise them.
Their needs come first. (" Thanks for asking, nobody's asked me how I am" to Tom Bradby in S.Africa)
They have to be admired, fishing for compliments.
They're manipulative, playing on fear and guilt. (Harry's paranoia about their security)
Lack of empathy for the emotional state of others.
Think people are jealous of them.
Acting superior, distorted sense of self esteem.
