Continuing the on from the As ever thread

  • Funny article from Jan Moir

  • Turns out Chrissy wasn’t the only known bully that Meg invited onto the show. David Chang has serious anger issues and has bullied staff

  • Megs new show hasn’t appeared in the Top ten on NF in the UK or US, which she had done for the first series. NF aren’t promoting it other that in the ‘new this week’ section. You also have to scroll along to find it.

Meghan Markle’s shameless PR stunt with David Chang is disgusting

The first episode of With Love, Meghan season two has a nasty jumpscare

@JSMill - someone on another thread said that prolonged weed use can lead to paranoia.

jamnpancakes · 29/08/2025 09:48

There's an article in the DM saying that Harry and King Charles may meet when H is in the UK for the Wellchild Awards on 8 Sept. It is alleged that William will not meet him.

The best bit of this article was a source saying that William has expressed a determination not to be dragged into the headlines every time there's a new contract to promote. Spot on I would say.

FleurDeFleur · 29/08/2025 09:54

@jamnpancakes . Interesting.
KC is an elderly man with health problems, he loves his son and would understandably want to make things as right as possible.
William's stance, however, is also understandable.

The highest her show reached was 75 on the day it was released, ,it is not even in the top 200 yesterday, 3 days later.

Netflix really set her up to fail by filming both series simultaneously. Even editing can't fix all the things reviewers highlighted in the first series so it's just more of the same stuff that didn't land well initially.

100%. Last week I bumped into the mum of a friend of my ds (22) who I hadn’t seen since Covid. She told me he has cut his family off. He’s a heavy weed user who can’t hold a job down and is currently in a hostel. He blames his family and friends for his problems and is paranoid about everything and everyone. He can’t see how weed is affecting his life. It’s very sad.

It's terrible. People think it's a soft drug, but it destroys lives. It can lead to very serious long term mental health problems

Bloodymigraines · 29/08/2025 10:19

I do think Meghan was very ill prepared for life in the RF , which Harry has to take the blame for. It just wasn't what she imagined, being a member of the RF is not the same as being a celebrity at all .
I think with her personality and Harry being blinded by love it was a disaster waiting to happen.

Doing two separate shoots would have cost way more. Given the reviews and viewing figures of the 'first' series, a subsequent one probably wouldn't have been commissioned if it had involved an entirely new shoot.

I think this is about all that Meghan has to offer. Like I said above, take away the royal allure and there just isn't much going on with her.

KC will probably still be in Scotland . If H does travel to Balmoral, I wonder if he will insist on high level security?

JSMill · 29/08/2025 09:41

@MakehaysunshineI totally agree with you. I have actually wondered if M did not have the mental resilience to cope with being in such a high pressure role in the RF. The press weren’t that mean to her but she couldn’t cope with it. Plus there’s the high expectations of how to act in public, to always show up top of your game. She got thrust into it too quickly. I believe she couldn’t cope and her mental health suffered. I think H has his own issues, particularly paranoia, and I wonder how much that’s fuelled by his admitted drug use. Weed can really ruin your mental health.

I definitely don’t think she had the mental resilience. Instead of maybe taking some accountability for having rushed into a marriage with no thought or preparation, she looked around for others to blame and became a professional victim.

Vespanest · 29/08/2025 10:52

I've been trying to think of another celebrity/personality who behaves like Meghan and to some extent Harry in their beliefs that their knowledge is insightful. I can think of a few with a specific area of expertise who may or may not be worth listening too but no one who wants to give the impression of fount of all knowledge. Compounded by having no real weight behind the words.

Bloodymigraines · 29/08/2025 11:04

This victim hood gets on my nerves, what has happened to them that has been so truly awful, that warrants them continually moaning about their time in the RF . They left , they are apparently living their best lives, just shut up!
(triggered by hearing the news today that my friends husband has weeks to live)

FleurDeFleur · 29/08/2025 11:07

I'm sorry to hear that, @Bloodymigraines . That's actually what's so irritating about them. The constant victimhood. So many issues again and again, what 7 years since she had to wear tights?! We've had a pandemic since then, fgs.

Dear god Hmm
I was going to ask about this, Thedom, so was glad to see your post from someone much more in tune with these things than me

So now that this one's utterly failed I wonder what the next money making scheme will be ...

FitatFifty · 29/08/2025 11:38

I don’t think she wasn’t prepared for royal life, she clearly wasn’t interested. She just wanted to do the good stuff and shop. I’m sure she probably was told, but thought she could just change the system to suit herself. I’ve worked with people like this.

5 years since she left the constrains of the RF and she’s done….. and Harry has done….

Yet posters here on this board love to keep dragging up stuff from years ago too, her wedding, pregnancies etc. So its okay for people and the media to keep bringing up stuff from the past several years but when she does it its victimhood...and its so awful and irritating

ThePoshUns · 29/08/2025 12:19

The South Park portrayal still remains the most accurate, she really is completely hollow.

And the DM said a ‘US source ‘ has disclosed the meet up. LOL

I wonder who that could be?! So predictable.

Good for him. They suggested his wife was a racist.

People aren't bringing up things which happened years ago out of the void. Posters on here are responding to her recent remarks. She made them. No one forced her. Her victimhood, our right to comment.

stillavid · 29/08/2025 12:41

Bet Camilla is in the room again ;)

JSMill · 29/08/2025 12:43

The king is usually in Scotland at that time of year. He certainly has enough places to stay there!

They do on other threads on this board. Just because it hasnt on this thread doesnt negate the fact it does happen. Noone forces them or the media to keeping bringing stuff up.

Lots of stuff happens on other threads. There are hundreds of threads on MN. You have the wrong thread and you certainly have the wrong poster.
Meghan has recently complained about something which happened years ago. I am commenting on what that woman actually said. Herself. Recently.
