Sasha Walpole

[ChocMarshmallows]

I really really like her!! She's so respectful, humble, funny, chill and genuinely lovely! No drama, no backstabbing, no dissing the royals or even Harry. What a thoroughly nice person!

If Harry had stuck with her and she had stuck with him, they would likely have been a fantastic duo and I fully expect Harry would have turned out far more normal, down to Earth and waaaaaaay less wokey/therapy-speak/narcissistic & self absorbed etc.. (though might not have had such a positive impact on Sasha!)

Sasha, u r awesome!

That is one person you do not want to discard like she has so many other people.

So are you saying she was obliged to be friends with him even though she had only met him once, for 40 minutes.

Does this apply to all women, are all women obliged to befriend men who exhibit stalkerish tendencies, or is it just Meghan who should have played nice with a deeply unpleasant man and not "discard" him?

Erm yeah, that's what I said 🙄

Piers Morgan was sent packing out of the US long before MM got involved with him. He was a pompous, annoying blowhard.

Why was she emailing him anything?

No honey, you actually didn’t. You asked when we’d stop giving her an “excuse”. Implied in my response is that she does not need any excuses at this point because the stallion opened the barnyard gate.

When she starts talking about other people’s todgers and sharing intimate and embarrassing details about other people without their acquiescence we can reconsider.

And now the full reality of Harry referring to his 16 year old self as a stallion has hit me. What a riot!

Erm honey, I actually did. When I said she can do as many as she likes

Oh she’ll be just delighted to hear that.

Lol!

Perhaps she was being pleasant before he ratcheted up his stalking of her? But it's all her fault isn't it....that's what you're implying anyway.

I just wish maybe once just once, a full blown detractor of Meghan would type "actually, she did the right thing here, she walked away" as opposed to desperately trying to blame her for something that really isn't her fault.

PM is a nasty unpleasant deranged obsessed individual who has harangued and stalked Meghan for years and anyone thinking that's OK needs to really take a long hard look at themselves (speaking in general here)

@notanotheroneagain
Thanks for the screenshots

At one point he was tweeting twice a day how wonderful she was, there were literally hundreds. God knows what his wife thinks.

It was the most obsessive stalkerish behaviour imaginable and like any nasty man who has been rejected, the hate tweets then started. Anyone who has been subjected to this sort of thing would not be saying you should be friends with a person doing this to you

Not a fan of Meghan. Even less a fan of Harry. Piers Morgan - he’s a nasty gobshite. And Meghan did write to ghost him.

But I do feel sorry for Sasha & imo she can do as many interviews as she likes. PH put her in the firing line & it’s up to her how she deals with it.

What about this statement is misogynistic? Nothing in that statement was because she is a woman. It is because she is truly a horrible person. You could replace her name for Piers Morgan and the line would still work.

Piers Morgan was not directly implicated in hacking royal phones. It would be inaccurate for him include him - Brooks certainly deserved that characterisation and more. They are all as bad as each other to be fair but Morgan did not have any direct lines to him com e out in the Leveson inquiry.

You did - by mentioning passage in his book. Which specific sit down interview did Harry mention Brooks by name if this is now the direction you’re going?

Sigh

Morgan and Markle became mutuals on Twitter - with Meghan sending Piers early links for Suits episodes and corresponding that way. She met him for a drink when she was in the UK and then didn’t speak to him again. Make of that what you will however - they met once and so hardly could have been called friends.

OK, I think that Meghan had every right (and I imagine sound reasons) to cease contact with Piers Morgan and I can't see why she's criticised for it. It seems their "friendship" was confined to some Tweets, possibly a few emails and one meeting for a drink (willing to be corrected) His anger at her breaking off contact is disproportionate and rather odd. Perhaps he hoped he'd be a sort of Gyles Brandreth "insider" character to her and Harry, but his past history would have made that impossible. I'm sure he knows that on a level, he just doesn't like it.

I think he’s weird, rude and gross. Does that help?

Agreed. Not sure who suggested MM had to remain in contact with him. (Or anyone for that matter.)

I doubt most anyone would think so! Does anyone like this guy?

I doubt it. His stalking of Meghan is quite frankly deranged.

And I say that as a non Meghan fan, although I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s her own husband that has let her down the most.

I don’t think he prepared her adequately or told her the truth about what it would actually be like. Most likely because he didn’t want to lose her. But that is no excuse imo.

@TimeToFlyNow She had a 2 year friendly mostly long distance, relationship with Piers before ghosting him. I guess he'd served her purpose

@Roussette Their friendship was not just a brief meeting and they were mutual friends for 2 years, not one sided. pM was a big suits fan and they followed and communicated over twitter. She called him a friend. He hasn't deleted the tweets, MM deleted her entire account. You need to research a little more before making ridiculous sweeping statements. As @notanotheroneagain has kindly put up PMs tweets you will see the dates are 2016. He actually started messaging her (and she replied) in 2015, before she even met PHarry. So a significant time and not just a 40 minute meeting.

PM was also singing her praises until she dropped him. So 3 years in all. I think he is more obsessed with her now than he ever was from 2015.

Let's face it MM has form for dropping people when they are no use to her any longer. She's at the top of the tree now and doesn't need the folks lower down, so PM, her dad, her friends etc aren't needed now.

@skullbabe She's a woman. That's enough to make it misogynistic.

I agree that in a perfect world, Harry would have been more helpful in acclimating Meghan. But I have a theory that he did not actually understand how things worked around him. So he did not know what to tell her. Call it Innocence, naïveté, growing up in a weird situation, being coddled bit and/or lacking basic curiosity about the working man of things.

I also believe that both were remiss to not to make use of the help that the Queen provided. The endless pages of documents and the experts at their fingertips. But when you don’t know that you don’t know something, it makes sense to believe you don’t need any help.

I think that’s the kindest explanation.

He was Meghan's friend for two whole years. Perhaps she will include it in her book instead. I bet she won't though. A few secrets could end up spilling out about her which is why she has kept quiet.

odd turn of thread. so now we are back to Meghan ghosting a deranged man.
the very one the lovely Sasha did an interview with.

I think MM was right to cease contact. But he was obviously vile long before they became friends. Why do you judge SW for doing one interview with a man, but would not dare question the much more involved relationship Meghan formed with him? Maybe, like Meghan, SW didn’t know his character.

You seem happy to judge away at anyone that is not Harry or Meghan, while always letting them off the hook for similar or worse behavior.
