And shooting protected species of birds

I think the threads on Meghan on this board should be archived for posterity. As it stands of course I understand why many on this board hate her with the passion they do, but in the context of preserving 'real time' sentiment toward her from the 'average' mumsnet user, I think it's a valuable resource.

Hate takes too much emotion. Apart from the odd few generally I think rather than hate people just feel exasperated by her. She’s more like the annoying, attention seeking, self- centred friend some MNers write threads about.

Hate, phobe, racist. The thought ending cliches proffered with no evidence to end a discussion. Which can work, because ironically posters are generally decent and don’t want to be labelled in this way. But when it’s done too many times to posters who have done nothing wrong, I don’t think that tactic works anymore.

It’s no longer believable here on MN. In fact I would go so far as to say those who classify all criticism of Meghan and Harry as racism don’t actually care about racism at all. It’s indeed a tactic.

Edited to say this is my opinion and simply a reply to the quote above. It is not directed at anyone in particular.

Just looking at the pictures from the polo match where she hands him a trophy cup and they have a PDA.

I do feel like H&M love each other very much but when a Hollywood couple’s (which is what they are now, they aren’t Royals) brand is centered around “WE ARE SO IN LOVE!! SO in love! Just LOOK how much we love each other!!” at worst am I dubious about their authenticity at best I am turned off by the smugness.

They are not a teenage couple they are a married couple on their 40’s, they can refrain from a kiss on a work trip and wait until they’re home. Yet, they don’t. The kiss doesn’t add anything to their work there, but they do it because they want us to think they are giddy teens unable to keep their hands off each other.

I ain’t buying it

YaMuvva · 13/04/2024 19:09

Also she shuffled around during a photo shoot so she could stand with her beloved. Again, they are not a couple they are a brand who must always be seen to be attached at the hip. Normal couples not pushing a brand identity don’t behave that way. Those that are all about Brand Couple - the Beckham’s, Jay-Z and Beyonce etc (both terrible husbands BTW) - do exactly the same.

Whereas the RF couples regularly do engagements separately. Interesting

Meghan's done a fair number of things solo. As has Harry (all the Spare promo, plus the Nacho polo love in tour)

So I'm not sure they fully fit either category!

Not to mention water buffalo.

Any Harold driven documentary involving animals is surely very likely to bring these never addressed issues to the fore once again.

To me they are obviously trying to copy Diana and Charles/Diana and James Hewitt. It’s so cringingly obvious. I think she actually goes through archive footage to see what she can copy.

@YaMuvva Any thoughts on why Meghan is in the middle of the photo as if she was the winner?

TBH I know zero about how these photos are usually arranged, but I know she changed positions to be next to Harry. Which is odd because the other woman is wearing pretty much the same dress as Meghan I’d want to stay away from her 🤣

AliceOlive · 13/04/2024 20:26

That’s three different videos where she’s orchestrating the photos to center herself.

YaMuvva · 13/04/2024 20:29

I have to say I like her bandage dress, very flattering.

AliceOlive · 13/04/2024 20:31

I like the dress and the shoes.

CathyorClaire · 13/04/2024 20:39

Just looking at those shoes makes my aged toes and knees ache.

CBA to check out the allegedly hideous comfortable hooves Serena was sporting but they sound right up my street...

I thought it was because the cup was going to held by Harry and the other lady in white on the right so the lady who stood next to Harry would have looked a bit isolated so was brought to the middle next to Meghan. Everyone in white - was there a dress code for spectators?

I don't buy into the notion of "hate". Personally I don't 'hate' anyone.

I wanted to like her and I wanted to like them as a couple, but I dislike their behaviour. I think they've done so many stupid and horrible things.

I'm interested in discussing that. It's not that deep!

I agree. I dislike Meghan but I don’t hate her. Hate is very close to love and I don’t have those kind of feelings towards her

Exactly. I don't have the energy to expend on them!

Mylovelygreendress · 13/04/2024 22:13

I see the hate accusation has popped up again .
Do some people not understand that disliking or disapproving of someone’s behaviour doesn’t equate to hate ?
< sigh>

Apparently Harry's horse went lame with only ten minutes to go of the match and another horse could not be found as a replacement.

Meghan gallantly stepped in and gave Harry a piggyback instead, trotting and cantering her pony tail swishing in the wind and without her the match would have been lost.

It's only fair she be given centre stage.

There really is no limit as to what she can do.

AliceOlive · 13/04/2024 22:20

I can’t say I understood anything going on in that post.

DrJoanAllenby · 13/04/2024 22:39

@AliceOlive because she's a fantasist and in her own world she is the star of every show, the centrepiece in every drama and the saviour of the world.

She has to be in the limelight and have praise heaped upon on or she will either and die.
