Hollywood Reporter - Meghan and Harry

Why Hollywood Keeps Quitting on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (hollywoodreporter.com)

Why’d they all leave? What explains the churn? “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan,” claims a source close to the couple. “She belittles people, she doesn’t take advice. They’re both poor decision-makers, they change their minds frequently. Harry is a very, very charming person — no airs at all — but he’s very much an enabler. And she’s just terrible.”

Agree.

And add to that MM goading and threatening in The Cut interview published days before HMTQ death that she had not signed an NDA with the RF.

Everyone knew that she was on her last legs but H&M continued with their disgraceful behaviour also making a big song and dance when MM 'relaunched' herself back in the UK at a speech at the discredited One Young World Congress dressed as oneof the Red Arrows.

“It was a nightmare, she was a nightmare.”

Quote from a Wimbledon official after Meghan's visit to Wimbledon.
I don't think Wimbledon would make such an extreme comment if it wasn't true.

But yet her supporters excuse her behaviour no matter what……

God she’s a prize biatch isn’t she! Mind you she can’t even be bothered to listen to a woman who was talking about her child bereavement (miscarriage maybe?) on one of her visits.

Honestly, the people on MN who can’t see what a ‘mean girl’ she is, just why, why can you not see it?

@BunnyLake I totally agree. I've been muttering for years about these people - how do they manage in real life if they can't spot such a blatant bully, abuser and all-round horror as Meghan? Or do the same folk end up on MN AIBU complaining that they've been exploited and ill-used by 'friends'? I bet there's a correlation.

Scroll to about the 4 minute mark to see how disrespectful she was to this woman telling her story of how she lost her baby.

I'd put money on the fact that Meghan doesn't talk to 'ordinary people', or non-celebrities, unless she knows there's a camera on her., and something in it for her. Considering the way she grins and simpers at the camera all the time, she clearly didn't realise she was on film here and thought she could get away with super-snubbing this annoying old bag rattling on at her about the boring tennis. (Not my view - but I bet it was Meghan's!! 😁

Oh yes @Stickystickysticky. Heartbreaking and a disgraceful lack of basic humanity from Meghan. That poor lady. This is after she had insisted that all of these women, suffering from HIV with weakened immune systems, sit on the floor (because Meghan wanted to sit on the floor but not on her own). Shocking, rude and disrespectful.

I wonder if they wished Meghan happy birthday. It was her birthday in August I think.

Don’t recall but I am pretty sure they wished her a Happy 40th

Was the HIV meeting after Archie was born?

Because when I'd just had my son, I was intensely aware of how very precious tiny babies are. The story of a baby dying would have fucking floored me. I'd have struggled to not make it "all about me" in the sense that I'd be a soggy rag.

I'd not be playing with other babies!

It seems that non working royals only have birthday wishes put on social media for milestone birthdays with a ‘0’

Someone pointed out, these are people living in abject poverty, but would have been wearing their very best clothes or possibly borrowed clothes, and she insisted they sit on the floor.

That video of her ignoring that poor woman in South Africa is appalling. Bloody ironic behaviour from the woman who tells us women need to be heard.
I find it intriguing that the last time M set foot in the UK was when the Queen died. She wasn't worried about her security back then. I am convinced something happened during that time to make M decide never to return. I wonder if it was the treatment the public gave her or the RF behind closed doors.

Yes it was after Archie was born and she brought some of his hand me downs to give to the women.

Just awful.

Valentine Low has spoken to Newsweek. Interesting as Jack Royston is usually sympathetic to the couple. They and their behaviour is getting harder to defend though.

I think that sitting on the floor happens when they are in mourning so another gaff.

I’d put my house on her not giving a rat’s arse about other women. She only cares about what someone can do for her, I don’t believe she is capable of feeling genuine warmth, love or care about anyone other than herself. There is enough evidence out there to see she is self obsessed.

That's a really good point.

Yeah sorry I didn't mean they weren't in love as well, I was just saying they needed other things as well.
they clearly love each other, you can see it in every interaction they have with one another.

There's also the security aspect, in that details are planned to the nth degree - getting people up off the floor is a different ball game to them standing and going.

Seems like a minor detail, but I've been responsible for planning events, and every last detail has to be accounted for. Every so often our CEO (who was a dick), would do something random like this, not taking any account.that all the eventualities had been planned for, and changing one small thing meant changing dozens.

One such change meant I was stuck trying to get a VIP through a locked door to a private area whilst the public were due to come past at any minute and swarm down on him. Hugely stressful and totally needless.

Back on the point about the poor lady who lost her son, apart from being rude it is downright odd not to have an emotional reaction to hearing about a baby dying when you have a small baby.

I couldn't watch the news after my son was born. Could not handle the idea of little babies dying. Anyone's little baby.

No need to apologise, I was using your post to add a bit of context for those who are too young to remember!

I agree that they needed other things as well. I think Harry's dating history shows that love isn't enough for many women to marry into royalty (using Harry because I don't know anything about William's, could have used Charles as an example too). It's really hard and the tabloids are awful, as it's social media these days.

Yes I remember that, she attended "privately" nit complying with dress code abd then tried to demand someone stopped taking pictures of her. Except they politely had to say they were taking pictures of someone sat behind 😝

I've heard over years that the late Queen could appear very stone faced when faced with distressing things because far from not feeling emotion, she was struggling to control hers so she could behave appropriately and not become the focus. Much more authentic than giggling and gurning while hearing a heartbreaking story.

This section is interesting:

"I think for subtle, different reasons. I think she always thinks she knows best. I think that she's clearly a smart individual. She's also one of these people who thinks she's the smartest person in the room which is a mistake, however smart you are.

"Harry is slightly different. He thinks the world is against them, or large portions of it are, and therefore dismisses a lot of what people have to say on those grounds.

"He would never do anything because the media said he should, that would be the last thing he would do."

I have read Courtiers and it was fascinating, less for the Sussex saga as for an insight into how the palace works in general. It's so disjointed I don't think any conspiracy has a chance of working.

I think Low nails the dynamic here. Neither of them can take advice, for different reasons, and together they don't help each but just double down on their own decisions. Which would be fine if they made good decisions.
