Privacy Oh Privacy! Why So Cruel?

[WhatAreThey]

Why do royal reporters bully a child but ask for respect for an adult?

I did it seems - please post them!

Google is free my love.

But I think you're always going to hate MM, for no reason

Both Kate and Meghan had surrogacy rumours. And it's bizarrely a common thing, plenty of celebrities get accused of faking pregnancies, although I think it happens a bit less now lots of celebs are open about using one.

Because you hate Kate 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve said it before. This level of attack is doing your saint no favours. The longer it lasts, the more it reveals about the kind of people who obsessively support Meghan.

I don't hate her. I quite like her and hope she gets out of the mess that is the royal family. But I think the deceit on behalf of the palace is very concerning and I am actually quite worried that something more sinister has gone on.

I agree with you @AliceOlive

I support the privacy of both women. Both chose to keep parts of their lives privat;e, one when she was in labour and the other the reason for an operation.

Its also the same for the ''photo'.
Both women made choices when to release photos after these private moments.

Kate - released a photo, albeit edited.
Some public and press kicked off and have have criticised her.
It ranges from theories, speculation, conspiracy theories........and then some down right fucked up abuse.

Meghan - stood for a photo call with Archie, albeit 2 days after the birth.
Some public and press kicked off and have critisced her.
It ranges from slightly disappointed that she didn't come out on the steps of the hospital all the way to down right fiucked up abuse.

The common denominator is some public and press don't like it when these two women makes choices for themselves.

I am disappointed, but not surprised, that women are still criticised for the choices they make.

I am going to plagerise what you said AliceOlive:
I fully support women being able to remain as private as they wish, whenever they choose.

What was the pure dishonesty from day one?

Both women should be entitled to privacy re medical matters. That includes details of when/where they give birth.
And equally, if they want their children to benefit from titles and line of succession, they owe the public a few baby photos when said baby is born!
That's the deal and it's cheap at the price.
It's not bullying a child to say this.

I don't think that photoshop should ever be used in 'news' photos - it just muddies the waters between what is real and what is not and news should always be real. KP ought not to have released that picture or allowed themselves to be pressured into a response.
If there's anything important to know, the public will learn about it in good time - there's no need to pry into a woman's personal business and no entitlement to know everything immediately.

I do agree that M&H are right to keep their children out of public view, for security reasons. Those kids are less protected than the Wales children.

@LadyBird1973 Exactly

The press were endlessly publishing stories entitled "why do trolls think Megan is faking her pregnancy? Here's why"

Or

"Meghan and the pregnancy truthers"

A very quick google will bring dozens of articles up.

The hypocrisy on this thread is staggering.

I never heard these rumors or saw anything about them online until someone frequently posting in support of Meghan brought them to our attention.

No credible media source reported anything like this. It appeared to have come from her nutjob sister and who on earth would listen to that woman?

I always wonder why someone supportive of a woman would repeat the most vile things said about her and spread it further. Any thoughts?

They are lying and covering up something. I am not sure any reasonable person is disputing that at this point.

And in the unlikely event that they aren't, they have made themselves the subject of ridicule. There's no getting away from that.

Wasn't the whole argument against Meghan and Harry that 'we pay, you pose'? That if you take 1% of public funds, then you do as we say? They've made their bed.

If she truly had an operation and needed to rest. They should have stuck by their initial statement and released no updates.

So yes they have lied. It could be a simple reason like she doesn't feel camera. That fair enough tbh. But they have deliberately attempted to manipulate the public.

Let's face it , whether you like the royals or not , whether you like H&M or not , there is no way a fake pregnancy would happen, its ridiculous!
And even if it was remotely possible the children would not be listed as in line for the throne because they wouldn't be allowed .

Whose argument was “we pay you pose?”

You subscribed to that?

What ,so people could bitch and comment about her appearance?
Catherine is probably feeling not up for the vultures and their scrutiny!Probably very vulnerable. It was said she wouldn’t reappear until Easter…what part of that statement is complicated ?
I had a particularly awful pic of myself posted by friend on FB recently…I was mortified,so can only imagine the fear of having a pic published to millions around the world!

They shouldn't have posted anything in the first place. She's entitled to have space to recovered and comeback after Easter.

Double standards.

Yes agree ,but guessing they were pressurised .William should have put his foot down and protected her from this shitshow .

Oh I’d do that. Who’d want bloody reporters crowding you when you’d just given birth?

Meanwhile, in background, Meghan was negotiating to sell the first glimpses of her baby to an American TV network.

I also disagree the situations are comparable and I’m really surprised at how many people are trying to rope Harry and Megan into this fiasco. They know Kate is ill. They maybe many things but they are not going to leverage this or comment. And the situations of Kate’s illness, is very different. Thr whole situation is different. In so so many ways.

i really do not think the media or the public should pit them against each other, i really doubt either wish this in this situation, and id be very surprised if Megan wanted people to leverage Kate’s illness to show she was poorly treated.

very poor show from those going there.

And your point is?
