Thought she’d shot daggers at Meghan when she got out of the car!

Wonder why that was?

That was before the Netflix doc and Spare release as well.

Coincidence this is being published now before H&M confirm if they’re going to accept the invite to the coronation?

Kate: Walkabout with Harry and Meghan 'one of hardest things ever'

Kate and William's appearance with Harry and Meghan to greet well-wishers and view the flowers outside the gates of Windsor Castle came two days after the Queen's death at the age of 96

@tatalan

You are right. What do I know. I am sure she loved her family all being at war with each other and Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview right when her late husband was ill, and all of the accusations and complains that they made, and accusations of racism in the Royal family, and all of the threats about Harry's tell all memoir.

Harry is her grandson and she loves him. Of course she was going to show this through gestures like sending her own security team to pick them up (God knows they always whinge on about security).

Seriously, we are never going to agree on this so let's just leave it.

Is Spare an entertaining, interesting read? I have next week off work and not much planned.

Not really! Its a self pity party from a spoiled, self centred, professional victim who comes across as highly unlikeable.

gettingoldisshit · 08/04/2023 16:12

@tatalan I noticed you omitted to post the pictures of people refusing her hand to shake or looking down and not acknowledging her as she came past them!

tatalan · 08/04/2023 16:14

@gettingoldisshit I'm sure there's a video somewhere, the point was to show that she was well received by others too.

My sympathy is all with Kate and William.

Ginger and whinger are classless awful individuals.

Talentless stupid narcissistic treacherous liars.

Excellent post! Sadly, I think their relationship was doomed from the beginning. As you said, they're very different women so that didn't help but the media definitely added fuel to the fire. Last time we had 2 royal sisters-in-law was Diana and Fergie and unlike Meghan and Kate, they were cousins, best friends already and had an incredible bond but I think the media expected Kate and Meghan to be as close as Diana and Fergie were from the very beginning and that was never going to happen or it would've taken more time so instead of letting the relationship develop, they pitted them against each other.

Not all sisters-in-law are friends. I have 3 and we're not friends. We're not enemies. We get along fine when we see each other but they have their lives and I have mine.

It's also interesting how there's so much focus on the relationship between Meghan and Kate when the rift is clearly between the brothers and not the wives

Definitely agree 100% What annoys me so much, though, is seemly intelligent rationale people can't see this and buy into this BS, it's bonkers

I'm sure Kate and William will survive 🤗

I do find Kate and William to be classless, awful, talentless, stupid, narcissistic and treacherous 🙃

Journalist who makes his living out of sensationalising the royal family quotes anonymous "senior" source close to anachronistic institution. Wow. Because journaists never lie to sell stories, and wouldn't ever make up anonymous sources knowing that they will never, ever, be called out on it. And if it is true, so what - at least Harry had the balls to put his name on his comments instead of firing bullets via anonymous sources. Eiether way, it doesn't exactly cover any of them with glory, does it?

Judging by history, that appears to largely be the definition of royalty.

thebaneofmylifeisacat · 08/04/2023 16:27

I call writing really intimate and detailed facts about family members ex girl friends and the poor matron at his prep school detailing her 'greasy hair!' As cruel nasty and vile.

But that's just me maybe you do similar laughing about people who can't fight back and shaming them and their lives to the world for money. If you find such behaviour ok then so be it.

When did Meghan slate Kate?

There’s definitely been an agenda when it comes to Kate.

Meghan saying in the Oprah interview about the bridesmaid dress incident that “I would have never wanted that to come out about [Kate] ever, even though it had happened. I protected that from ever being out in the world” was spectacularly ironic given she was indeed now bringing up the incident in front of the global media, when she knew her sister in law could never reply (and brilliantly worded, insinuating that it was something so serious that it needed to be “protected”).

The whole “Kate made me cry” story was also repeated in Meghan’s interview in The Cut magazine, and obviously at great length in Spare.

Meghan brought up the “Waitey Katey” label in her Oprah interview and insinuated that that was the extent of the mistreatment Kate received from the press, completely minimising all the physical harassment, abuse and gross invasions of privacy her sister in law did have to live through for 10 years.

Meghan said that she wouldn’t let her children go to school in the UK because she is “a good and strong parent protecting her child” the week before the Cambridge children all started their new school in the UK.

In her first podcast she said “You can pretend to be the perfect version like a Stepford wife and still have the exact same outcome as someone who is being authentically truly themselves and wouldn’t you rather live with a version of yourself where you can look in the mirror at night?” - widely taken to be a reference to her sister in law.

In Finding Freedom Omid Scobie wrote that William and Kate’s domestic lifestyle was one that the Sussexes had seen and decided they definitely didn’t want.

“Friends of Meghan” of made a public statement that Meghan didn’t want her children to grow up in an environment without hugs and laughter, like the Sussexes were leaving, and that all the Royals, especially Kate, were so uptight. This was then followed up in Spare - Kate was cold, formal, only lent her lipgloss grudgingly etc etc.

I am extremely biased but I think it's a fantastic read. I've got the hard copy, audio and eBook. Listened to it multiple times now.

Heavens!! - if you don't mind me saying you sound about twelve and a bit more than extremely biased or are you on a wind up?😁
Surely to goodness there are only so many times you can hear about someone's frozen todger🤢(personally I found once was plenty!).

I’ve never ever liked Kate, I don’t know why, I just think she’s probably not as nice as they paint her out to be

This.
I find it telling that she hasn't got any female friends. Even the queen had known close friendships.

This is a lie. Some friends have been to see him in Cali.

Last I checked M's friends were also in the docu-series, pictured at Polo with her too.

FGS people are being bombed out of existence. others are starving, others have no clean water. Our nhs is a disaster and going to get worse, yet the time and energy given to these privileged and out of touch few is mind boggling.

How on earth do you know that?!?

This is the thread that keeps on giving😂

gettingoldisshit · 08/04/2023 16:44

@tatalan many of his longtime friends were removed from his life when he married megan. It's rumoured that this was because they tended to agree with William in that harry was rushing to marry megan and that he should take his time!

You could say that about a lot of things. Why is there a discussion about folk being thrown out of a theatre for singing when there are all these other things going on. Because it's in the news and folk want to discuss it.

tatalan · 08/04/2023 16:48

@gettingoldisshit you said isolates a person from
All his previous close family snd friends and I corrected you, friends remain. As for his family, perhaps if they stopped briefing the papers about how much they hate his wife's guts or want him exiled, things will change.

gettingoldisshit · 08/04/2023 16:50

@tatalan yes friends that Megan has chosen approves of remain!

This. Moaning. Spiteful. Petulant. Lacking in empathy, self reflection or insight. Entitled. (Literally).

Personally I think Kate is the best of them. Although all the children might well be pretty lovely too.

All of them are terrible in my opinion, some worse than others:

-Queen and Prince Philip: Swept a lot of things under the rug. It's actually interesting that Harry has so much energy for his father and brother yet is always so complimentary of his grandmother, who is the head of the institution that ,allegedly, treated him so badly most of his life according to him

-Charles is petulant, jealous and toxic. The fact that he (and Camilla?) leaked to the press Camilla and William's first meeting in details to make it seem like his sons were accepting her only a few months after Diana's death tells me everything I need to know about his character. He's trash and only cares about 2 things: himself and Camilla. I advise everyone to go watch "reinventing the royals" on Youtube which is a full documentary about Charles' PR operations. He's allegedly also behind the "Edward invaded William's privacy at St Andrews". I wouldn't even be surprised if he was responsible for all the bad press Kate and her family were getting when they were dating because it was around the time C&C were engaged to be married and Charles was desperate to rehabilitate her public image.
I've criticised Harry a lot. Yes, some of his stories have a lot of inconsistencies but I 100% believe him when he said that Charles was briefing against him in the press.

Camilla: Just as bad as Charles. Would do anything to get a good image

Kate: People saying H&M have been attacking her non stop are exaggerating. Harry makes it seem like she's a little snobbish but baby brain, the lipstick? It's not that bad. She seems inoffensive to me.
The Kate haters are funny though: on one hand, she's a robot with no personality, who doesn't speak and does nothing other than wear clothes but on the other hand, she's a manipulative, calculating mean girl who bullied Meghan and is the reason H&M left.

William: Pre-Spare, I always saw William as a complicated man. He didn't seem like a bad person but didn't really seem like a happy person. He and Kate didn't seem like a happy couple (but what do I know? I'm not in their marriage). We've heard over the years that he has some anger issues.
If what Harry says is true, the man needs therapy. Comes off as an a*hole in the book.

Meghan: Melodramatic, ambitious (nothing wrong with that). Was exposed as a bully in the book by her own husband. I definitely think the British press is very unfair towards her. Racism plays a part but I don't think her and her husband are as innocent as they portray themselves to be.

Harry: Comes off as stupid sometimes. He's definitely still very traumatised by his mum's death. Still has a lot of trauma that he needs to work through but his stories have a lot of inconsistencies. To me, this whole feud seems to be more revenge on his brother and father. His stories have a lot of inconsistencies

The family is definitely dysfunctional. All of them need therapy

tatalan · 08/04/2023 16:53

@gettingoldisshit so Harry has no agency? the biracial woman chooses all his friends, cool cool.

tatalan · 08/04/2023 16:55

@Nono22972 very measured take 👌
