Meghan, Duchess of Sussex spotted out and about

[queentim]

Recently spotted at a TSwift (allegedly), Barbie movie for her birthday, a restaurant, and then hanging out with friends in an Instagram selfie. She looks phenomenal in this photo!

Glad to see she's enjoying her life back home with her family.

I thought PrincessTigger was making good sense. And she brings some relevant professional experience and knowledge. It's a shame she's gone, I was enjoying her posts and it's good to have a diversity of opinions and perspectives.

@MissElinorDashwood hope your ok.
this thread took a weird turn, one minute people having a lol and the next a fall out.
shame as its made an interesting read.

If just 10% of the emotional heat could be taken out of just 10% of the most heated posts (posters of all sides and persuasions), I'm sure more fruitful and interesting discussions could be had, with much less emotional distress.

" It doesn’t help keep conversations focused on things relevant to the topic when people taking comments out of context in a way no one would feasibly even consider"

Isn't that the truth..

The hypocrisy that Meghan is allowed her feelings to trump the truth due to her ‘trauma’, but another poster is jumped on for expressing her feelings about a similarly traumatic time in her life.

Where is the kindness and understanding there ?
People on these threads are real people with real traumas and shouting them down is cruel and unkind.

I don't feel anyone needs to be worried about a poster who was repeatedly racist to two black posters very recently and didn't care one jot about our feelings. Feel free to report this post, if MNHQ allow racist posters to stay and punish the victims of that racism with deletions, I think it's important for people to be aware of that.

meghan doesn't post on here though. so she didn't say anything on here. (confused)

Well said.

I can see exactly what may have triggered that poster. It obviously wasn't deliberate by the one who said it, but I'm sure we all know trauma is complex and triggers can be something completely inane to the rest of us. I've experienced it myself, something that was amusing to all around, one simple sentence completely triggered me and I had a disproportionate reaction. To everyone around me what was said was nothing, and i wasn't gaslighting anyone with the pain caused to me.

Where was the empathy for a woman, a human being who was clearly in pain. Where was there a moment to pause and think better not pile in here, someone is hurting. The reaction and the pile-on afterwards of someone who had expressed trauma is deplorable.

But it appears par for the course on these threads. One side can say whatever they like yet the moment they're challenged they cry PA and bullying.

Nonsense. This poster does this frequently and didn't care one bit when she dehumanised two black posters recently, repeatedly, and had all the posts removed. She didn't care she hurt other peoples feelings constantly trying to question others posts and life experiences. I didn't see you pulling her up on any of it either.

That poster accused someone on here of laughing at DV. That is a horrible thing to be accused of when anyone could see that was not the case. The poster who had been accused expressed sympathy too.
It honestly takes your breath away to be accused of something you literally have not done.

I feel great sympathy for anyone who has been subjected to DV by the way.

Where was the empathy for others when the departed poster was clearly being hurtful previously? Not just once but again and again. She was allowed to continually abuse and yet so many stayed silent. MN subsequently removed most of her posts.

All victims of domestic violence should be supported but should never use their abusive experience to close others down. Her refusal to discuss or accept the explanations given, shows as before, what others have previously endured .

The outpouring of empathy with her currently sadly highlights the agenda of some on here. You wanted M&H ' to piss off to Monteshitshow and leave you all in peace ' Now that they have some are still bitter and still not happy. Don't try and guilt others for showing little empathy with the flounce when they endured much abuse and minimising from said poster. Like others I am sure there will be a resurrection at some point.

I confess is I didn't know and thank you for your gracious response.

I have to be honest, I dip in and out on this board and perhaps I reacted (as I have my own history and triggers with the subject matter). I responded to what I saw at that moment, on this thread. From what you've said, I can see there is more to this than is apparent to an infrequent visitor to these boards.

Oh jeez @MissElinorDashwood hope you are okay

Please @MissElinorDashwood let us know you are ok. Most fair minded people will accept that you were unfairly treated and that poster's response was unwarranted and unacceptable.
Given her previous history and posting under 2 names on this thread alone should have possibly made everyone more alert. I'm not sure how she managed to post under 2 different names on this thread but I expect she had 2 different accounts. Why would some go to that bother?
Please do let us know you are ok.

Hello ladies, just dipping in to say I’m ok. Thank you for asking and apologies for causing any worry.

I was taken aback yesterday and needed some time to process. I’ve never experienced a situation like that before (being accused of doing something that I didn’t do). I read through my messages so many times and still can’t work out where I was making fun of or laughing at someone who has suffered from DV.
The experience has left me a little weary but I’m ok.

I hope the poster is ok and anyone else who may have been triggered by that conversation.

I’m going to take a short break but I’ll be back soon.

@PrincessTigger and @PrincessOfTigger are two different posters.

Interesting 🤔🧐. Hardly matters now. What the whole thread has highlighted is how many posters who wanted Meghan to 'piss off' are still trolling her from both across the Atlantic and elsewhere.

Glad you're ok @MissElinorDashwood . Understand the need to reflect. Despite what the one liners and others think you did nothing wrong.

I've asked MumsNetHQ because I thought it was rather odd myself, so it'll be up to them now to deal with it!

I know because I was confused in the past and queried it , also the posting styles are different and @PrincessTigger is a Meghan fan .
