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.

By era of joy do you mean ‘era of deflection from genuine criticism and terrible choices’. This is another deflect from the multitude of disasters this year. She’s either started listening to advice or is just desperate enough to try anything.

She didn’t have a table at the gala because you had to pay for one. I do wonder if money is tight for them these days. She would have had to make a donation to stay. It is a very, very strange thing to do to turn up just to have your picture taken. How is that supporting the cause?

theemptinessmachine · 07/10/2024 09:32

The more photos that come out it looks like she decided at the last minute to rush out to this event - even her heels are needing a pedicure!

Prescottdanni123 · 07/10/2024 09:32

I wish people wouldn't engage with posters like this. It is exactly what they want.

AlwaysGinPlease · 07/10/2024 09:34

This whole thing has to be satire, surely 🤣

Uricon2 · 07/10/2024 09:46

I try not to comment on the "Sussex supporter" threads but for the first and probably the last time @Triplesec I agree with you.

Denzel and Idris are gorgeous. Grin

She looks very nice.

I was just re-watching Harry and Meghan on Netflix, and I thought they were so right to leave the UK.

The amount of abuse she got was awful.

Thedom · 07/10/2024 09:52

She wears human hair wigs and human hair weaves. The only natural thing about her hair is that it once belonged to someone else.

FeedingThem · 07/10/2024 09:53

The dress is nice except for the nipple stitching. How can you pay so much for a dress to have these hideous nipples on your dress. A smoother line would be much more appropriate.

It's nice she was there for a friend, not sure it adds anything than that tho

Sorry, did she need to stay for the whole event? She did what was needed and got home to her kids. I’m sure her friend knew exactly when the Duchess would leave. Meanwhile, massive publicity for the event. Win.

So an event in remembrance of her friends late son, Meghan said "oh I'm only stopping for photos, I have two kids at home I need to get back to"? Nice.

Oh dear, OP. This is real desperation!

Meg's 'era of joy'. If M herself thinks that (as opposed to it being something you have dreamt up) then she must have absolutely no shame, self-awareness or embarrassment. But even I don't think she's that bad - and I can't stand her. I think she is rattled and this strange, desperate attempt at distraction is all she can muster just now.

OP - have you been under a stone for the last few weeks? How can you suggest that someone accused on both sides of the Atlantic of serious work-place bullying is in an 'era of joy'? Are you OK with this behaviour?

She's actulaly in her twilight era. It doesn't matter how much 'work' she has done, or what her dress looks like - Meghan's image is irredeemable tarnished now and we can expect to see her becoming increasingly desperate and embarrassing.

Oh, and you say you're 'a hugger'. Hmmm. Please be aware that hugging isn't everyone's bag and can often be a form of control by the invasion of other people's personal space - forcing an intimacy on them which they don't want.

Taste yo urinalysis admit you don't like her so any comment you make isn't becuase of fair criticism it's actually because you don't like her and well when people dont like someone its not criticsm its just bitchy, nasty comments.

The Harry and Meghan dynamic is fascinating

He is no doubt devoid of empathy in the manner he has stuck it to his family and although he benefits from a hierarchy he rails against it when it doesn’t work in his favour

He has found an equal in Meghan and it is fascinating that they almost think as one - she appears to be the brains of the outfit and her capacity for ghosting and revenge is the icing on the cake

I have a similar unpleasant family member who has become scheming and more unpleasant in his twilight years after meeting his match
He also is totally dependent on her

It’s a perfect meeting of unpleasant minds
Harry has always seems a bit odd - it must make him feel powerful when he sees the damage he can inflict - there must be something missing inside to enjoy that - I think he comes across quite chilling at times - somethings off

I can see why he was attracted to meghan.

Harry was brought up in an extremely rigid structure. If he went out with a woman from his social class, she would be very similar to himself, which is boring. A UK woman would also be subservient to him. And that's not attractive.

Meghan was completely different. She is strong, confident, she doesn't kowtow to Harry.

She sees herself as fully equal to him. That's attractive.

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 07/10/2024 10:14

She didn't show up to support her friend in any meaningful way, because it was a charity event for a children's hospital and Meghan didn't pay for a table, or as far as we know, donate at all. She turned up to have her photo taken on the red carpet, then left. (People magazine report she was escorted out by a staff member, which can be read as she was asked to leave). This isn't supporting, this is Meghan using sick children as a platform to promote herself.

Mainoo72 · 07/10/2024 10:16

Funny. She’s so lacking in self awareness it’s embarrassing, Even the people I know who used to support Meghan have realised how self centred & controlling she is.

BustingBaoBun · 07/10/2024 05:07

You keep mentioning Lizzy Cundy, are you a bit in love with her?

Well if I started endless threads about LC describing her in loving, romantic and sensual terms, then that would be a fair question from you, as I haven’t, your comeback is rather lame, better luck next time.

I don’t think a U.K. woman would be subservient- maybe that was the problem

People's nastiness to Meghan is disgusting sometimes.

If the Princess of Wales showed up to a hospital event, she would be called kind and caring.

If Meghan goes, she is called "lacking in self awareness, embarrassing and wanting attention'

Do you ever think that you should just grow up, and stop attacking women?

MaturingCheeseball · 07/10/2024 10:25

At these sort of functions you are not only obliged to pay for your seat, but buy a whole table. So not only is that $$$$ but you have to find a bunch of people to join you and who will dig deep.

I don’t understand the “natural look” comment. She is wearing a truckload of make-up - just look at her eyebrows! Nothing wrong with that - I would be trowelling it on too if I went to a fancy event - but she is far from au naturelle.

Also “Show up, do good” is more like “Show up with new face”.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made an appearance at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala on Saturday, where she delivered a heartfelt message highlighting the importance of healthcare for underprivileged children, as reported by the International News

Aren't we lucky that Megan has told us that health care is important because no one would have worked it out for themselves.

She wasn't a speaker at the event - she just said a few appropriate words whilst on the carpet.

And if she was really showing support to her friend, then she would have stayed for the event - the best kind of support is buying a table, bringing rich friends and getting them behind the cause. Next best is being there for the actual event (and making some sort of donation).

Just turning up for the photos seems self-serving, though I can see why the organisers were glad of the extra publicity - assuming that the name of the charity also sticks (particularly in the more local community) rather than being lost as just backdrop. From the UK, it's backdrop; so the total effect is probably rather more off to this audience

The difference is that the POW would not have made the event about her and wouldn't have simpered up and down a red carpet, lunging for someone's hand to fondle in her no-no-zone. The POW would have talked from the heart - no sound bites or word salad - and wouldn't have made any part of the speech about her.

I cannot think of a single event that the Princess of Wales has only arrived for arrival photos and not stayed for the whole event.

So I agree that she would not be criticised for doing that.

Apples and pears, in terms of what MM chose to do (or perhaps more appositely, not do).

Or maybe it's because the POW is white , British and suitable, and Meghan is divorced, mixed race and American.

How do you know how long the POW has stayed at events.

At every event she goes to? I'm sure that she doesn't stay at some of them for hours and hours. They do a brisk meet and greet.

I remember a documentary where charles showed himself going to to three events in a day. He literally walked in, shook hands, looked at a few things and walked out.
