Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there are so many awkward moments in this!

I’m guessing promoters / producers aren’t tired her and her supposed shenanigans, so there’ll be plenty more awkwardness in store for you, OP.

She does look fabulous in that outfit though, so there is that.

@Vivi0 you really don't think so?

The hypocrisy, the mad obsession with bullying a woman of colour, the inability to be objective, the covering up the misdeeds of others and instead using Meghan as the punching bag and apparently worse than others who have done pretty horrible and questionable things. You think the world is blind to this? You think the UK is not laughed at by its media stupidity?

Just recently the Jamaican PM was making fun of the UK media because of its insane reaction to Harry and Meghan attending the Bob Marley premier. The UK media used to be highly respected. Not anymore. I am sure you are a person of the world, probably with friends and family across the globe. I suggest you take a poll and I would be surprised if they would say to you the UK is still as respected as it used to be. It isn't and that is not all done to Brexit. Rather our media has destroyed us and is destroying us. We are fed lies, we are made to look small-minded, the truth is hidden from us. The UK media is consumed with Meghan and Harry. If you were to look in from the outside, you'd think that is all that occupies the mind of the UK citizenry - that we are more concerned about what these two people are doing than we are with our NHS, education system, political mess, etc. These two people get more column inches than most other single issue.

She tried to help the woman know where to stand. Ffs. These things are awkward if you are new to it.

CKL987 · 14/04/2024 15:17

The DM have a whole article about her not letting the other woman be pictured next to Harry. There is another woman next to her also beckoning the woman to the middle. If you look at the final group photo, it makes sense.

RhubarbAndGingerCheesecake · 14/04/2024 15:19

very rude and inappropriate of her to make the woman move away and have to duck under the trophy, the woman is actually the Director of Sentebale

I have to admit I don't get why it wasn't the* *Director of Sentebale handing over the trophy rather than apparently Meghan - but awkward shuffling for good photos aren't that unusual an occurrence.

Google seems to be telling me director is not new to the post but in it years so must have done these thing before.

BettyShagter · 14/04/2024 12:17

Can you say a bit more or anything at all about what you mean OP?

Do you mean the woman who couldn't take a hint or direct instruction to move to the other side?

Do you mean the chair woman who should be presenting the trophy?

pootlin · 14/04/2024 15:27

Vivi0 · 14/04/2024 13:12

What are you on about?

No, what are YOU on about? You said did no one remember last time and when she got stuck? Last time of what? Got stuck where? Make sense!

None of that mean she isn’t a woman.

I REALLY don’t think so.

Do you honestly think the kind of media you are describing exists solely in the U.K.?

The U.K. has always had scum newspapers, and the rest of the countries in the world have their fair share of them too, trust me. It really depends on what you read.

In fact, I can’t remember the last time I seen or read about Harry or Meghan via any media, even the Jamaican PM’s comments you mention seem to have escaped me. I only ever see them mentioned on Mumsnet.

I do actually have friends and family that live out with the U.K. But they aren’t staying up to date with U.K. affairs by reading The Sun and the Daily Mail. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever discussed Harrry and Meghan with them in my life.

If you want to read something specific online, you will certainly find it.

I absolutely maintain that beyond a few hundred people, no one actually cares. What one encounters online is not reflective of real life.

These two people get more column inches than most other single issue.

They really don’t. And the world isn’t judging us by what the The Sun newspaper reports either.

Lol.

I said:

Does no one remember the last time she did this and got stuck in the middle of the celebration.

Last time of what?

Presenting a polo trophy

Got stuck where?

In the middle of the celebration

Make sense!

I don’t understand what it is that you don’t understand.

EmpressOfTheThread · 14/04/2024 15:39

"abroad" 😂
That's quite a big area! 😂

Wantarest · 14/04/2024 15:42

@Vivi0

You don't remember? Yet they were the main story in the DailyMail this morning and there are several articles about them in all the major online newspaper (barring the Financial Times). Even this very thread you and I are commenting on is media and is referencing media coverage of them.

The UK is small and what is different is that almost ALL its media is set against these two people. Not only online, but in print and television programmes and any Youtube channels ran by UK operatives. Other countries tabloids do not obsess in such a wholesale way about one individual as much as the UK media does.

In any case you may not think so but my goodness, people I speak to from across the globe ask me why the UK hates Meghan so much. Neither they nor I care too much about Meghan or the Royal Family but it is so prevalent that people do ask and I have no answer. It is just worldwide embarrassment that one country can be so consumed on that scale.

However, if you don't think so, you don't think so. I can't be bothered with all that madness over two people. Enjoy the rest of the day.

Greenfluffycardi · 14/04/2024 15:43

I have no time for either of the however this clip is years old and has been dissected to death for no real reason. What on earth makes you feel awkward?

Wantarest · 14/04/2024 15:45

@Vivi0 apologies I just realise you are a Meghan basher. So I now understand your stance on this. I won't waste my time.

I understand none of it because it makes no sense. How did she get stuck, what did she do, etc. Maybe you don’t even know.

YABU for posting this boring bullying nonsense here, when you have a board for the royal family

Here we go again! All the H & M bashers will be out again in force soon 🙄 As per I've had my say and I'm gone.

There was a legitimate reason for them all moving around. No, it wasn't staged or anything else.

Have fun bashing to those who are. Those who aren't bashing, thank you.

No wonder abroad calls the U.K. "Salty island"

Who are these H&M "bashers" ?

H&M are not above criticism and if their conduct/choices get mixed reaction then that's hardly surprising - it's like that for everyone in the public eye.

Though of course there is the long thread in the RF topic where only positive comments and ones about her clothes are permitted. And that does tend to assume/promote division.

But most posters do not divide tidily into camps, nor do they hate/love/tug forelocks. They just keep chatting about any/all Royals, just as they have done all along.

And of course the "British media" isn't one unit - and H&M have of course received much positive comment over the years along with the more critical (and the couple of egregious appalling articles have been roundly condemned in the media too).

I think there are conspiracy sites that see to promote the idea that the British media are unified in an agenda. But they completely fail to see the longer picture and the variations over time. There's even been one blaming evil press barons, and of course that's entirely fanciful.

I don’t read the Daily Mail so, of course, I missed that story.

I’ve already said the only place I see them mentioned is on Mumsnet.

Hard disagree with you. There are bigger things going on in the world than how a few scum newspapers in the U.K. report on Harry and Meghan.

The U.K. isn’t consumed with Harry and Meghan on the scale you describe. In fact, was it not something like 80 accounts being responsible for all the online hate towards Meghan?

As I said, if you go looking for something online, you will certainly find it.

Where are the articles about them today that you mention? BBC News haven’t reported about them since March. The Guardian reported about their new Netflix shows a few days ago, which was a positive article. I have no desire to search any further than that. Where is the obsession? I don’t see it.

@pootlin - actually Meghan had no role there! The team got their cup and one of the directors of the charity was there - why was MeAgain there - the usual photo opportunity - bloody ridiculous shoes too 🤣

That’s what I thought, why wouldn’t the Director of Senetable have presented the award. To be that would make more sense based on the event really.

Wanttobefree2 · 14/04/2024 16:03

pootlin · 14/04/2024 13:01

I don’t know about roles. But Megan was on stage and the way everyone was standing was awful and a photographer’s nightmare. She arranged people to move and it all looked much better.

And actually from a quick google she does have a role, she and Harry are the Executive Producers on a new programme for Netflix on polo, and Netflix were there. So someone has given Megan the trophy to present to Harry and the team.

And of course you blame Megan for this 🙄

Edited

It was a charity event, not the Netflix’s show…

I thought it was a sweet video. Gorgeous dress!!! All the women looked lovely.

Usernamen · 14/04/2024 16:04

She’s so slim, beautiful and youthful looking for someone in her 40s with young kids.

Life really is unfair, isn’t it 😭

I understand none of it because it makes no sense. How did she get stuck, what did she do, etc. Maybe you don’t even know.

This is what I’m talking about. I didn’t want to link a Daily Mail article, so this is the best I could do.

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeut63rW/

I’ve seen other people reference this video on the thread too.

I did ask if anyone remembered it. You don’t, so why are you making such a big fuss over it. My question clearly didn’t apply to you.
