I have seen several newspapers referring to this German documentary. It's the first I've heard of it.

This documentary is going to be nothing but a rehash of the same things over and over. People who dislike Meghan are always waiting for the next book, show or documentary to expose her but there's nothing left to be exposed. This is why they are always dissapointed with the books and Lady C who always says something big is coming and then nothing.

People are just using MM's name to make money because they know there's an obsessed audience ready to consume anything MM related. After this documentary airs, it will be quickly forgotten and on to the next thing that will expose her, same scam over and over but people still fall for it. Now that I think about it, this is actually a lucrative field, let me start a youtube channel on exposing MM's so called secrets.

That sort of depends what's in it. There are lots of rumours about Meghan's past and present, many are ridiculous and most if not all are made up, I'm sure. But if anything big and horrible does emerge about eg the bullying report, or involvement in the online hate directed at W+K, then it won't be forgotten so quickly I don't think.

I think a documentary on Meghan Markle might actually be interesting. I mean, who is she? In the short few years she's been widely famous, she has cosplayed:

• an American actress out of her depth dating Harry (maybe no cosplay, this one)
• a devoted fiancee looking forward to royal life (definitely cosplay)
• a dedicated member of the RF seeking to "hit the ground running"
• a sincere duchess, but one who didn't believe she wasn't getting paid for her duchessing
• a suicidal victim of extreme racism
• a feminist to whom nobody says no
• a humanitarian in extremis
• a woman so full of compassion that service is her purpose in life
• a woman who kept her LA agent and manager on retainer while all the above was happening
• a woman who got a prince of the realm to leave his birthright, his home, his family, his friends, his job
• a woman who brokered a tell-all interview with Oprah (Harry didn't do that)
• a woman who brokered a Netflix deal in which she sold her and her husband's soul for gold coins (Harry didn't do that)
• a covid-era volunteer a few times with baby-related /food donation charities
• a covid-era wannabe politician who preached about the importance of voting, women's rights etc in pre-recorded speeches
• a roving exiled duchess visiting Harlem and the UN for who knows what purpose
• a poet (the bench)
• recipient of many and various awards for who-remembers-what
• a podcaster
• a polo-wife
• a pregnant woman who had two children (not cosplay, this one - just saying all the above while she was a "young mother")
• a boho-chic cool kid who hangs out at Soho House properties and farmers' markets
• a staid denizen of Montecito who wears Max Mara, Chanel, Cartier, Hermes, LV and Balenciaga all at the same time
• now, apparently, an uber-homemaker a la Martha Stewart

Who does she actually think she is? Or rather, WHAT does she actually think she is? Nobody can be all of the above properly, there are only 24 hours in a day. I don't think she knows who she is at all. Since 2016 she's been all of the above plus whatever else I've forgotten. I don't think she knows where she fits. She keeps thrashing about looking for a natural home - but with people like her, if she's like the people I knew who she reminds me of so so much, there is no natural home because their natural state is to always be dissatisfied with what they have and want more. Their natural state is to be on the move, to not get caught out as an imposter on their way to higher peaks. These sorts of people make and shed friends and family quickly, they have no shame and are brazen; relationships are transactional, sometimes openly so. The drive is the hustle, they don't ever know peace. They're charming and are quick to make friends - they use physical closeness as a shorthand for actual closeness (hence all the hugging and cuddling and massive smiles and outsized laughs etc). They never actually do any work, because their real work is hustling trying to avoid doing the work and just looking like they're reaping the rewards of work. I think a quality documentary would be very entertaining!

A very insightful post @masomenos completely agree.

Your post also clearly lays out why people find her totally fake and disingenuous,

Good points @masomenos. although I would take issue with “poet” one 😆

So well put and I agree with all of it.

But this confected approach clearly does work on some people - hence the Sussex Squad.

Exactly what is it about her that appeals to them?

I’m hoping someone will I’ll come along and answer this because I just don’t see anything likeable in her anymore.
Yes she’s beautiful on the outside but I don’t see anything beautiful in her character.

You only have to need/identify with one of those roles to be on her side. So she appeals to a lot of people by having had so many.

Me, I’m a hardened cynic and have a narc mum so I’m not biting!

I think experience of narcs makes you very alert to authenticity. Hyper vigilant in fact to all the role playing.

And of course all the be kind people see her as a victim so are automatically on side.

@Hughs

(Also why is Anne's name popping up at the mo? As in, Harry wants to come home for a month to celebrate his birthday, see his father and visit Anne?? Is that because of her concussion or something?)

I think Anne is the chief trustee of the late Queen Mother’s estate . There had been a lot of speculation that she is taking control of the money .
Hopefully someone will come along and clarify .

I agree with this. It's a shame really.

People who dislike Meghan are always waiting for the next book, show or documentary to expose her but there's nothing left to be exposed.

That must surely be the most naive comment I've ever read on these boards!

Aaaaah that explains it, thanks @Mylovelygreendress

What a strange thing for a "friend of Harry's" to give away - that he's not coming over to visit his family but to secure his inheritance. Does Anne have any say in how much he gets or when?

I totally agree with this and I think there's plenty of evidence to back it up.

She was absolutely determined to bag him quickly, and Harry was the perfect prey for her.

Whatever happens now, whether or not they stay together, she's got a Michelin-starred meal ticket for life. And always with the threat of more revelations (this time about how appalling Harry is/was) to dangle over the RF.

What an operator!

Agree, I think in about ten years when she is into her 50’s and the world has got bored with her, George and Charlotte will be young adults and taking all the headlines she will then release the hounds, until then I expect she will keep her powder dry, Harry had better keep her on side because if he doesn’t tow the line it will be utter carnage for him.

That would be true if she didn’t care how she’s perceived - but she clearly does. The narc in her wants everyone to think she’s as fabulous as she considers herself. I think it drives them both crazy that most people see them as figures of folly or contempt rather than as a golden couple to be admired and envied.

Thats why they are so resentful of Kate and William and why they will probably never be happy, even if some of their schemes succeed.

Unleashing the hounds on Harry wouldn’t do the young prince & princess any favours though? They will be seen as slightly ridiculous (like those obscure German or Polish counts knocking around in Zurich) if they don’t have the actual royal connections to back up their titles….

Maybe but remember Sarah Ferguson didn’t receive a generous divorce settlement!

I am as fond of gossip as the next woman, but the amount that people seem to know for sure about how total strangers think and feel is extraordinary. This applies equally to both sides of this "discussion".

What an unusual observation

Personally I don’t buy into the worst or most malign interpretations of what we see of Meghan Markle in the media. But, there’s no denying what she herself has put out there, said, preached, arranged for photographs of etc.

I imagine they’re both royally (haha) fed up of the media coverage they get. They must feel
they can do right for doing wrong. Trouble is, they do so much wrong 🤷‍♀️

@Wellieswithsocks "What an unusual observation"

Can't be said too often. Reality check.

This simple but really crucial question is what I've tried to get an answer to from H & M supporters on here for a long time. Why do they like her?

My reaction to Meghan would be 'Run away! This woman is bad news!'. To me, she's almost radio-actively toxic. So what are other people seeing? I think it explains the many sad posts on MN (not on Royal Family) where posters talk about their relationship problems, either with partners or friends who've let them down, exploited them or are mean to them. These people must be terrible judges of character and, in a way, actually want a narcissist to exploit them.

It's the only explanation I can think of for wilfully ignoring the evidence and believing the hype.
