Meg’s era of joy

Triplesec · 06/10/2024 22:40

Showing up to support her very close friend who lost her child and also the children’s hospital at an evening gala. What a friend to have in the Duchess. Meghan was glowing, fresh faced, wore minimal makeup, was confidant and smiley. She was well spoken and supportive of the evening fund raiser when interviewed. Show Up, Do Good. Yes, she always does. Loved her look too.

I think she looked great - red is a great colour on her.

I would be very interested to know what work she is having done as it is very subtle and looks good.

As others have suggested, I'd guess Ozempic is playiing a part too. God knows, Ozempic wasn't developed for people like Meghan, but celebrities are taking it and the so-called 'Ozempic Face' effect is well-documented. See Sharon Osbourne, for eg.

It seems to make the jaw and teeth much more prominent and also gives the eyes a sunken look. Meghan needs to be careful if she is indeed taking this stuff.

Oh all right - I'll humour you! But only if you answer MY question too.

I was educated to think critically and to look beyond surface appearances. It was part of my training. I also come from a family who believed that people were worth more (or less, I guess) than their physical appearance. Of course I've questioned that - but I balk at fawning over people just because they are pretty and/or rich.

On a more precise note, I've watched with growing horror the way H & M (but particularly Meghan) have behaved towards both their families over the past few years. The spite, cruelty, jealousy and insults (which their victims were unable to publicly defend, and M & H know it) directed towards Catherine, William and Camilla in particular have shocked and depressed me. Meghan's role in starting the rumours about William's affair, for example. Wicked.

And all amid serious health scares for M's father, KC and Catherine. Vile. I think they are morally appalling - and their brazen publicity-seeking and posing as 'good people' makes it ten times worse. Horrible couple.

Now - will you answer my question, which was: Who does Meghan think she is?

Seriously - how do you think she sees herself now? Not how YOU see her - how she thinks of herself, her role, her value as a human being?

I can't believe this post.

You're shocked at how Meghan has treated Camilla?

Have you forgotten how badly Camilla treated people?

MummyJ12 · 07/10/2024 13:24

It’s clear that it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to defend Meghan’s choices and some of her behaviour. Therefore there has been a shift in tactics of the ardent supporters and some posts are starting to get personal towards those of us that see past the propaganda. All of a sudden, the problem is us. It’s in desperation to defend and stay on a sinking ship. The ultimate diversion and derailment.

Serenster · 07/10/2024 13:27

How far does this daisy chain go! if poor past behaviour means one deserves anything that comes to you in future then why are you defending Meghan?

Have you forgotten how Meghan allegedly mailed her husband’s wedding rings back to him in the post just a year after their wedding? Or ghosted Lizzie Cindy, Millie Macintosh and her former manager once she met Harry? Or lied to the court? Or bullied her staff? How can you forget how badly she treats people…

It's not all of a sudden.

The bullying and abuse of Meghan was always there.

That is why she left the UK, after she became suicidal.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy to the poster who said that meghan treated camilla badly, when we know factually that Camilla had an affair with a married man.

That is fact. Charles said that himself, that he had an affair with Camilla.

She must have been fibbing in her 'manifesto' then, because she never mentioned anything along those lines. She wanted to stay 'collaborating with the Queen' while cashing in on her royal connections.

I have no idea. Mainly because she's Anerican and I've always thought "they" think completely differently to us.

After being an actress in a "quite" successful series, I would imagine she sees herself as popular and still famous, able to do good work using her name.

That's the best I can come up with.
I do like and respect her and enjoy seeing pics of her and Harry.

That’s not really Camilla treating “people” badly though, is it? And Diana cheated before Charles did if you want to be pedantic. Anyway, wasn’t Meghan still with her chef boyfriend when she started to date Harry?

Of course having an affair with a married man is treating someone badly.

What's wrong with you?

I've never been with a married man. I would know the destruction and pain that It would cause his wife.

It is Meghan that was and still is doing the bullying.

She flounced because they couldn’t compete with those higher up and weren’t allowed to monetise the RF with their offer of half in half out.

I think the difference is though that the sugar types are very easily offended and the more critical thinkers just brush off the sugary insults. It’s a very narc trait to be very thin skinned when it comes to critique. No pouty bottom lipped sugar is going to persuade me Harry and/or Meghan are good people.

You said “people”. You have only mentioned Diana. What about Diana dating married men? What about the pain she caused their wives? Which she did before Charles got back together with Camilla?

BustingBaoBun · 07/10/2024 13:37

Plus, she’s not in any royal family, so wrong board

I would much prefer if Harry & Meghan threads were out on Chat or wherever

It's always very interesting when they are, because there is far more support for the couple, than on the royal family board with the usual Detractors swamping even a hint of positivity and shutting it down.
It's startling how different general MNusers feel as opposed to regular RF harry and Meghan detractors. I would say it's a minimum of 60/40 for them out there if not more, it's a much more balanced view.
However MN tend to move the threads here

How exactly did Diana cheat before Charles?

When Diana said that she found evidence he was talking to camilla romantically, just before Diana and charles got married.

And that Diana considered calling off the wedding

Well she must be on 24 hour watch now because she’s getting a heck of a lot more derision from the US than she ever got in the UK.

You’re absolutely right. Very similar to Meghan who obviously knew of the extent of the relentless and inhumane online bullying of Catherine from her squad while she was recovering from major surgery and then also going through chemotherapy, but is very thin skinned when there is any criticism towards her.

Interesting point. However, I honestly believe that people are ambivalent towards the couple at best, the YouGov polls overwhelmingly show that they are unpopular. So no matter where on here the threads are posted, the numbers of supporters would be significantly outnumbered by those who don’t hold them in high regard and are critical of them. I noted earlier in this thread that there were many unfamiliar posters being critical and I found this thread on trending rather than going on to the RF board. So I don’t think you’re right here.

Interesting how that isn't reflected in the polling. I haven't seen a difference when a thread is in chat, but if it's true, MN is evidently not representative of the real world, where H+M are very unpopular.

What is your source for this? Yes Diana thought of calling off the wedding, but so did Charles according to some sources. And there are varying accounts as to why Diana got cold feet. It’s not definitive that it was anything to do with Camilla at all. The only source that I could find that said this was Marie Claire magazine. Other sources even suggest it was because Charles didn’t want to dance with her at Andrew’s birthday party!
Anyway, Camilla very much wanted to marry Andrew Parker Bowles and was dealing with his many infidelities when Diana and Charles got married.
I don’t see how you can say Camilla treated Diana badly. The problem was that Charles and Diana shouldn’t have married in the first place

I disagree but thanks for replying !

I have seen it time and time again when a thread is posted in chat. It is a far more balanced view.
More positive towards the couple than negative and of course there are those who don't care either way

You didn't answer the question.
Genuinely, what do get out of it?

When you're around 70 or 80 will you regret all this negativity or will you think 'job well done'?

Interesting approach - back to the totally artificial division into teams, which totally overlooks that here in Britain people have been commenting on what the royals did for centuries.

And when that conduct is good, it is received warmly. But when it's contradictory, often based on purported (their) truths that can be easily demonstrated to be at odds with verifiable evidence, and strongly allied with a bunch of v nasty internet bullies, then of course there will be criticism.

So I doubt anyone would look bad and regret exercising their ability to critique conduct and choices.

At the beginning of this thread, there seem to be a number of posters who don’t normally post on threads about the Sussexes who are quite incredulous at the OP’s fawning adulation though 🤷‍♀️
