@friendlycat I have moments of feeling sorry for her then I see her making a complete ass of herself (when she could just stay away or be in the background as support) and my sympathy goes out the window. Her stupid opening speech showed she has taken nothing on board. She has no one to blame but herself for the pile ons she gets.

A youtuber I like said if superfluous was a person it would be Meghan Markle. 😁

Superfluous seagull - love it!

They need to be pulled aside and shown the exit, rather than pillaging all they can from these games

Though I agree, that's Invictus management's decision to make, @CatsWhiskerz, and I wouldn't have thought Harry being Patron would complicate things much since they could just appoint someone else

However as mentioned before it's a very worthy cause but certainly not the only one which centres veterans; it's not even the only one which hosts games, and as we've seen the attendance is relatively small for the money spent

To me at least the issue of the veterans being supported/represented matters more than the folk doing it, and whether what's rapidly turning into a vanity project will continue remains to be seen

Sadly their performance does start to raise the question " would this money be spent in a better way for vets"

veraswaistcoat · 11/02/2025 16:52

@IcedPurple yup she's in there - a quick grab and a flap of the hands then a very dismissive and instant turn of the back. She quickly realised there was nothing to gain from that woman.

Parts of this thread where you're discussing the Vegemite incident remind me of the nonsense around Catherine - Waity Katy, - but look at how much better it has worked out with William taking the time to tell her all about the reality of what her role would be. I'm can't exactly recall it now but I read something the other day where Harry said - Meghan didn't know and I didn't tell her..

mdinbc · 11/02/2025 18:06

For what it's worth, your press spend much more time on Meghan than ours does. On the provincial news there was a story about the veterans, and a story about Harry arriving and being involved in the games, as well as a school visit.

Meghan did get an article about supporting a Canadian coat brand .. On the Vancouver Sun website, if any one is interested. No other articlles since.

We just don't give much attention to royals here. What he has done with the games is very commendable.

She's greedy. Greedy for attention and for anything he has, even a jar of vegimite. Remember in Nigeria, she pushed past him and grabbed some beads meant for him one of the hosts was holding? In Colombia, she grabbed some flowers that he had been given. Grabbed them right out of his hands, and he looked really surprised, then defeated. She has to have her hands on everything and her "share". Even when he was presenting an award at the Kevin Costner/First Responder event, she had to have her hands on it first. She's like a bloody seagull, swooping down to grab it off him.

And that trophy at the polo game when she’s got herself all tangled up in the midfle of the players, i mean just why?? Absurd woman she is. Her FOMO is of extreme proportions.

FromTheOfficeOfJammyTodger · 11/02/2025 18:44

Oh yes, she was trying to grab a gift/prize box from one of the players then grabbed onto the trophy.

Trying to grab the microphone from the compere at the Costner thing is another one. Like a seagull on a bag of chips at Brighton pier.

Apparently Meghan has left early and flown home!

Say what?!!

Sorry, posted too soon. Well, at least Harry might get stuck in properly to the rest of the Games.

Oh god, that'll get the speculation going, but FWIW it's being claimed this was always the intention - and didn't she miss several days at the Dusseldorf Invictus too, though at the start that time?

Another private jet I wonder

Thank god

Mylovelygreendress · 11/02/2025 19:22

They are trying to say it was always planned that she would leave early .
Anyone believe that ?

OP posts:
NotaRealHousewife · 11/02/2025 19:22

Nope

NotaRealHousewife · 11/02/2025 19:25

To be fair she is probably well behind with her jam production, I mean she had two stalls to fill

I wonder if there will be a tombola?

No.

She would have come for the second half and closing if it were planned. It isn't exactly as if she needs to get back to work, is it?

IAmATorturedPoet · 11/02/2025 19:30

Maybe she has gone back home and will return with the children for the closing of the Games?

Maybe Harry finally grew a spine and told her to get back in that rented kitchen. Jam won’t make itself.

Thank god hopefully someone with some balls as told her to bloody do one and stop this teenage charade

Herbologistinwaiting · 11/02/2025 19:35

I wonder if he ever stands up to her about anything? It really doesn’t seem like it.

No, I don’t believe it. There hasn’t been a sniff of her leaving early before now. In fact wasn’t it the plan that her and Harry were to fly off on a “healing holiday” together to Tyler Perry’s place in the Bahamas after the IG?
It’s damage limitation.
