Kate - walkabout with Harry & Meghan after Queen’s death one of the hardest things she’d done.

[UserOfManyPseudonyms]

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?

The Queen wasn't her grandmother so why she gets to sulk as if she's doing anyone a favour is a bit beyond me tbh.

@thebaneofmylifeisacat you're welcome to your opinion 🙏

No i can't link them but im sure a quick google will help you find them. Her uncle helped her get an internship at some embassy abroad and he was also interviewed and said he hadn't been invited to her wedding! Well only talking to your mother and your niece when you have two decent sized families is strange! Also as it is two different sets of relatives I would suggest that the problem is megan rather than her family!

@BadNomad so you say that Kates only ambition was to become Queen. Let me guess you read that in the tabloids? Would that be the same tabloids that print lots of " lies" about Megan?

And all the other posts? Were they just copied and pasted from other people? Or all your own work?

Oh I have never heard of or seen her with these people. So apologies and I retract my statement 🙏

@Coxspurplepippin I don't remember tbh, probably my own work unless I was being petty in response.

@gettingoldisshit I don't it's that surprising at all. Some people don't keep relationships with the wider branches of their family.

I've no idea what you are talking about. I'm talking about since they met. Since they met, she has done nothing for herself. Got a degree and did nothing for herself. No full-time job. No career. No further studying. All she did was wait and wait and wait for years. Waiting for him to decide her future. Then, even after he ended their relationship, she still waited, then took him back.

If she'd posted on MN, people would have told her to LTB. Move on. Where is your self-respect? If he wanted to marry you he would have by now. You're just his backup for when he realises no one else wants his shit.

Their relationship is less about love and more about duty.

It's funny seeing people say that her main ambition is to become Queen.

Anyone who pays attention can clearly see that she doesn't enjoy royal life. I think she loves to be at home with her children on the countryside. Think about it, she moved her family from a palace to a much smaller 4 bedroom home. She does the drop-offs and the pick-ups daily. She refuses to work when her children are on school breaks. It took her 7 years to finally start a project (early childhood) and even this, I'm sure she's truly passionate about it. She's a stay-at-home mum at heart, which would be fine if she wasn't married to the heir to the British throne.
I think she truly loves William. People call her a social climber but she could've easily have a quieter life and married a rich guy like her sister.

Don't forget it was at the funeral of a loved family member and she had to make nice with someone who had caused a lot of pain to her family members, whilst grieving in front of the world.

I don't think it's ok to be flippant about this.

Meghan also lost a family member and had to make nice with someone who lied about making them cry. Welp 😐

I don't read the tabloids these days. I'm the same age as them, I remember everything at that time. The days when she took a job as an accessories buyer for Jigsaw because she had been getting criticism from the press for not working. But only part-time and only if it would work around her relationship with William. It lasted a year. Everything she did was about William.

I am also talking about since they met. She worked for Jigshaw in London 4 days a week but had to leave because she was stalked by media. They were even stalking people she worked with.

Then she worked for her parents company in Berkshire. Every day she went to work and was stalked outside her flat in London. Remember that barrage of papz outside her flat. And that's why we had so many pictures because they knew how late she went to work.

She stayed at her parents company until her engagement.

She has worked for the royal family since 2010. So going on 13 years now. Is it a job like normal people. No. Would I want to do it. No.

Meghan said she couldn't do. Pressure was to much. Harry said he was overworked. And they both worked less then her. So no it isn't easy.

She didn't wait for years. She was in a relationship from a very early age. First couple of years was at uni. Three years at uni. And around three years after uni. She worked during those last three years. So no she didn't wait. They decided their future together. They knew if they got engaged pressure would begin.

They had a breakup for seven weeks in 2007. Yes he crawled back to her and begged her to take him back. She did because she loved him. Simple as that.

They are together for TWENTY years and you are going on about gossip from 20 years ago. You have no idea about their relationship. Move on. They did. Married for 12 twelve years and three children.

If you want a normal life, you don't marry a future King. Love or not, she's not some helpless victim who had no choice but to accept this life. She chose it. She knew what was involved. She didn't work because she didn't want to work. She's always had an excuse for that. Taking 7 years to start a project is appalling for someone in her position.

but she could've easily have a quieter life and married a rich guy like her sister

Exactly. But she decided to go for the princess life instead and tries to avoid doing the parts she doesn't like as much as possible.

"Love" my ass. Duty and expectation.

So, like I said, I don't find anything admirable about her choices in life. I don't think she's a good role model for women and I wouldn't want any daughter of mine to try to follow her path of making her life all about a man.

Oh, I agree! She just doesn't seem passionate about her engagements or royal life in general which why I don't believe her goal was to become a princess

@tatalan

How do you know that Meghan wasn't the one lying?

This.

Also, iirc only the week before HMTQ died, that interview in The Cut came out where Meghan made ridiculous claims about how her dc would have 40 paps every day photographing them if they went to school in England.

Megan also mentioned that she had found her diaries from her time in the UK, and hadn’t signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Just because we know nothing about her friends doesn't mean she doesn't have any. The press are far less intrusive now than in the past thank goodness.

How come this character assassination of a woman we don't know, is allowed to stand when a similar one of Meghan Markle isn't? Misogyny/favouritism/inequality on MNHQs part? Or does it only go one way?

@JerseyRoyals DS also has scoliosis and is disabled, and this section of his book (along with a lot of it) disgusted me. 11 or 12 years old at the time, and he should have known better. He was a nasty, entitled child and he is a nasty entitled adult.

Almost every single thread in TRF section of MN is a character assassination of Meghan Markle. There is quite a large group of posters who literally spend the live long day trawling the redtops to find the latest "she said, he said" inventions.
As has been said, psychologists would, and will, have a field day. (Check out the "I woke up in the night and imagined I was Harry" thread for scary total insanity 👀)

Yes! Nobody's perfect but people forget that neither Meghan nor Harry have actually done anything wrong, they seem to be good, well intentioned people. They'd have been great ambassadors for the UK, both involved in humanitarian causes. I think Meghan is terrific.

Jolly good luck to them, don't blame them at all for going to the States to live. They will do well.

Exactly! Her friends are just really private. Some of them she met while attending Malborough College, are still in her life today and are godmothers to her children like Emilia Jardine, Trini Foyle, Hannah Carter and Alicia Fox-Pitt who Kate all met when she was 13 or university friends like Oliver Baker
