Are they considered close friends? And Gayle, Oprah's bestie, is she still on side H&M...she appears to have gone quiet.
Or has the now known lies from their Oprah interview changed their friendship I wonder?
It all seemed so pally but did it stand the test of time?

Apologies but I'm not sure what comments from dm readers, are relevant here?
Have I missed some posts?

@jeffgoldblum
Clearly anyone who doesn’t agree with the OP that MM is an amazing actress/humanitarian/philanthropists who is honest and hardworking is a DM reading, neo-Nazi supporting racist.

Yes, they were convicted.

And there are comments on the DM saying the conviction is a violation of their free speech because they are saying "what most British people think".

Such is the dislike for Meghan that some are even willing to support the rights of Neo-Nazis to attack a child.

Similarly, such as is the dislike of Meghan that many are willing to defend the kind of sexism directed at her by Jeremy Clarkson.

The pattern is pretty clear I think. For a worrying number of people, anything goes when it comes to Meghan. Even defending Neo Nazis.

I haven't seen anyone on MN defending them. I don't understand how comments on the DM are relevant to posters on a completely different website (MN)?

Oblahbla · 08/07/2023 13:36

Where is the story about the neo nazi thugs? I tried to find it but can't and would like to see what kind of arseholes defend the indefensible.

Milcar · 08/07/2023 13:38

It's not on MN.

MrsMaxDeWinter · 08/07/2023 13:41

I am on a log running thread where we look at the press coverage of the Duke and Duchess.

I will limit future references to the Daily Mail to those threads, which are welcome to all who want to take a deep dive into how they are covered by the UK tabloids.

Oblahbla · 08/07/2023 13:44

No, I realise it was on DM, but I can't find it. I just wanted to see what the knuckle draggers were posting and if there was any response to the rascist comments.

Milcar · 08/07/2023 13:44

That's probably best, it's a bit niche

Howsimplywonderful · 08/07/2023 13:49

If only brass eye was still about. I’m sure they would be talking about positive and negative clicks and how newspapers hate negative clicks.

costacoughee · 08/07/2023 13:52

Sounds more like Reddit to me.

So, you expect me to take Tom Bower seriously while at the same time trashing Oprah Winfrey. Thanks for the laugh.

But you are right about one thing. Meghan ALWAYS manages to stage something when the RF has an event. It is pretty pathetic.

For instance, she gave birth to her first child on the day that was chosen, four years later, for his grandfather's coronation. What a bitch. How dare she give birth on a day that she could not have known was to be Charles's coronation day? Who the fUck does she think she is?

And of course more recently, she somehow went back in time to 4July 1776, and got the US Congress to adopt the Declaration of Independence from the British Crown, making the 4th of July an American independence holiday since then, all so that she could go to an independence parade on the same day that Charles had his yawnfest of a Scottish coronation.

What a bitch.

So manipulative, clearly manipulating space and time as well and going back in time like that, just to upstage the royals.

Yawnfest ???
As a Scot who was on the Royal Mile watching the procession etc and who knows 2 people who attended the actual service , I take great exception to you referring to an important Scottish event as a yawnfest .
How dare you .

The OP has barely posted and what she has posted is on the side of negativity towards H&M.

costacoughee · 08/07/2023 14:26

@Mylovelygreendress I think most Meghan and harry supporters are republicans (some who live in other countries) so it's all a yawn fest to them. The cognitive dissonance associated with being mega fans of the couple and republicans doesn't seem to register despite the couples hanging onto titles and giving their own children titles. It really makes no sense.

costacoughee · 08/07/2023 14:27

Just blown away by the history of the crown!!!

Milcar · 08/07/2023 14:28

That's the fundamental problem, isn't it? Despite the criticisms (some justified), they hang on to the relationship with the RF, because they have nothing else to sell.

The OP is quite critical of Meghan, so I am not sure where this is coming from?

Her OP calls the Oprah interview "lies", a narrative that chimes with most of what you post. She belongs in your club. Don't start attacking each other now!

Howsimplywonderful · 08/07/2023 14:53

i’ve Been very complimentary of Oprah as has @jeffgoldblum ?

Ooo, how interesting. I didn't know we had to join clubs. How many clubs are there and what are their names?

LaMarschallin · 08/07/2023 15:13

No, that was not at all insinuated by Harry.

Thanks for that.
I thought it was odd it hadn't been mentioned before but I could easily have missed it.

His body language and facial expressions were interesting when Meghan repeated her version of his own first hand experience, though.

I won’t encourage you to watch it though as I completely understand the sentiment.

It's good to know I'm not alone Smile
(although some of it sounds an interesting watch from what you say)

I think the OP spends her time poring over negative MM coverage in ‘esteemed’ publications such as the express and watching negative you tube videos on some self appointed mission and and then comes on here itching for a fight

I think I know who you mean from the description, did you by any chance post this on the wrong thread?

AliceOlive · 08/07/2023 15:35

As a random aside apropos of and indicating nothing at all, I can’t ever remember hearing about or attending a 4th of July Parade. My husband said the same. Barbecues and Fireworks usually.

AliceOlive · 08/07/2023 15:37

Super odd that I never experienced this! Just searched and they are all over the place. I’m currently in New England and the parades are a huge thing. Looks fun, and I’m sure it was very special for father and daughter.
