Why is Meghan hated?

I have very strong views about the Royals especially Camilla, however I am genuinely interested and want to find out more as to why Meghan Markle seems to be so hated. I'm asking in case there is something I have missed. I do read up as much as I can and watch shows from 'both sides' of the argument, but there is nothing that I have seen so far that warrants the level of sheer hatred geared towards her - I don't mean on here necessarily, but on social media in general. She cannot do ANYTHING without a swarm of people descending on her like vampires to tear her apart.

She isn't an adulteress, she's not a paedophile or sex offender, she isn't lazy, she seems to genuinely care about people in need.....and from what has been shown, she genuinely loves Harry and is just trying to make a life with him. He left the UK to start a life away from a nest of some awful people, his mother died when he was 12, his uncle is a sex offender, there is racism and a rigid set of rules within that family where he won't be king anyway so what is wrong with him leaving?

I'm not starting this to start an argument I am genuninely interested in why she is so rabidly disliked and why? Maybe I will start to feel differently if there is more of a reason but at the moment I cannot see one?

I think Meghan is seen as false in many ways. There are numerous examples in the past . Another one was spotted in her As Ever recent reel where she is allegedly cooking " her jam" in her kitchen. She is using the pot lifting utensil upside down . What's going on here? Is she wondering why she can't lift it out? Does she not in fact make jam other than for photo shoots? Where's that attention to detail? People don't like a pretender.

I managed to make a whole set of jam using those tongs the wrong way too! However someone on her team should have caught that before it ended up being used on the website!

Yes, it's amazing how the haters just have to weasel out anything about Meghan and do negative reviews.
I quite liked bits of it, but didn't review it. I suspect there will be a lot like me.

Why didn't you review it positively? Certain posters on here always say " why are you not posting about William visiting x place ?" etc? Why didn't you?

I really get pissed off that she’s using my country, my RF and my monarchy, public money to lie, cheat, bully, sell herself with, etc … not going through the list of things again, a country that she’s slated, lied about, manipulated and treated dreadfully, and off the back of everything she’s greedily gobbled up, she’s expecting to carve name for herself off the back of it all!! Before she slept with and snagged the dim prince, she wasn’t on anyone’s radar, the RF and her marriage is all she’s got and she exploits it - that’s what I really get annoyed about, and so what if I call her out on this on threads about her or both of them?

Edited

How is she using the UK? In the past few months again how she used our country? Our Rf? What public money has she used?

She hasn't done any of those things recently but you think its still ok to slag her off continually.

Who hasnt slated this country themselves? We have all slated it at some point whether its how the government has dragged it down, to brexit, state odlf things etc.

I have faced many racists incidents in this country, we have institutional racism in many places like the Met police etc. And? Should we bury our heads in the sand and pretend this country does not have racist people or institutional racism?

Why arent you just as loud in your slating when it comes to recent news about Andrew and Fergie and their association with Epstein, the money they took and not to mention his trade envoy stuff..why are you so proud of our monarchy who continue to support him and protect him after what he has done...? This is what you are proud of? He gave money to pay a woman off who was sex trafficked! Charles has faced bullying accusations too yet you are proud of him? He has also written books too and said not so nice things about the queen... but your okay to be proud of that?

Your okay to be proud of our monarchy that isnt transparent with its finances...your money! That isnt wanting to pay its fair share on taxes? That wants to cut down on the stuff they do whilst still collecting the same amount of money we give them...doing less should mean needing less money...oh no not our monarchy...

Ok then....🤨

Someone has already replied to this saying that Anne’s husband was offered an earldom which would have meant that Anne’s children would have been Lord and Lady. Not Prince and Princess. Harry already has the option of entitling his children Lord and Lady but decided not to, apparently because he wanted a “more normal” upbringing for his children. That is until the much more fairytale titles of “Prince and Princess” became available to use after the late Queen’s death. These were available to him as a male child of a reigning monarch. Anne, being female, could only pass on her husband’s title if he had one. See also the late Princess Margaret, whose husband did accept a title. So the rules were not changed for Anne

ETA x post Wordler again 😆

Edited

Oh yes. Wasn’t Omid Scobie crowing that Harry and Meghan weren’t going to burden their children with titles, not like evil William and Catherine. That aged well (not).

Because I don't tend to do reviews. Is that OK with you?!

If I said I'd reviewed it positively you would probably call me a fan girl or a super fan! I liked some of it, I enjoyed some of her guests, I liked certain dishes she did, I loved the scenery. But some of it was a bit twee for my liking.

Sorry, don't understand the William reference about him visiting somewhere.

Except there are plenty of jar lifters on the market where you can use them either way round. Do you honestly think that Meghan is making the jam she sells at home in her kitchen? Do you think Charles and Camilla are at home rolling out the Duchy Originals biscuits? This is the sort of insane nitpicking that a lot of us on this thread don’t understand.

And even if she is using them the wrong way round who cares? My gran had a pair of tongues like these and would switch the end round depending on jar size. Was my Gran pretending or false?

But lying is still lying and you suad tou don't like liars you didnt day you didnt like illegal lying...

Wtf are you on about? Where did I say I don’t like liars? Lying under oath is illegal. Meghan was criminally culpable for lying in her court case. If that’s fine by you, then I hope you don’t mind the next time someone commits a crime against you or one of yours, lies about it on oath and gets away with it.

I never for one millisecond thought that Meghan was making jam at home 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ . I haven't seen a pic of your Granny on her Instagram using her tongs the wrong way up so no comment.
Who cares? Well you know what I don't but to me it reinforces all of her pretence and lies and I will comment on it. It's like seeing someone posing for bake off with a chainsaw 😂 Too much Ed Gein.
Meghan couldn't even find her way out of the hotel door in Paris 😂

Re the jar lifter - this sort of petty criticism reminds me of the coverage Obama used to get for using the ‘wrong’ kind of mustard or the ‘wrong’ colour suit. I imagine there’s quite a bit of overlap in the people lining up to put the boot in on Meghan. You don’t even know if she is using it the wrong way up - there are plenty on the market that you can use either way.

You can’t take time out of your day to criticise somebody on the internet over how they use kitchen utensils, and claim that it reveals all sorts about their character, whilst simultaneously saying you don’t care about them. Clearly you do.

@Aethelredtheunsteady it's entertainment seeing how their fans defend them 😂 . I really don't care but the spirited debate is fun.

She’s definitely using it the wrong way - I have the exact same one - it took me a lot longer than it should have wondering why it was so hard to use!

I think it’s a very common and relatable mistake.

The issue is someone on her team who were producing the advertising campaign should have spotted it before publication.

You see a spirited debate, I see a hate campaign driven by the press with the consent of the royal family against a woman who’s worst crime seems to be being a bit annoying/a bit of an attention seeker and not getting on with her in laws (how many MN threads are there about that). Senior police officers have mentioned credible threats against her. We quite rightly call out hate speech online due to the risk of it escalating into real life violence - I really don’t see much difference here. Especially when there’s a lot of evidence of a racial component to the hate she gets.

Well here's one of the examples where Meghan's own self congratulatory persona came back to bite her. Because it is her, through one of her US tabloids of choice (People I think) who crowed about her freakish attention to detail - at a time when Catherine was being crucified in the press over a photo when she was ill. So much for her being kind and compassionate, huh? If you are going to claim to be perfect, then people are going to look for imperfections.

I think you're going overboard here. I'm meaning spirited debate with you and others on here. You know how it goes here - the typical pattern. This is not hate speech. Are you saying the comments on Andrew are hate speech ? The comments about the Princess of Wales? Are they hate speech?

Don't introduce racial hatred into my post as you have no idea of who I am and do not make any implications or associations with me in that respect.

Hmm, yeah I’m not sure I agree , I do think there is a racial element for some people, but for most people I don’t think that’s it, it’s the behaviour really that’s the issue,

I think sometimes it’s too easy to attribute it to race when in reality for most people it’s all about the person is behaving badly, and for me her worst crimes are the dishonesty and the bullying accusations, not that she’s an annoying attention seeker who doesn’t like her in-laws, for me personally the bullying I beleive to be credible.snd the dishonesty is proven to be true, she has said untruths, as has her husband, and they are proven lies. Not easily explained by she’s so dim she was confused and meant something else.

so yeah, not sure I agree with you, plenty of people are annoying attention seekers who dislike their In-laws. No one really takes a major issue with that, but bullying and dishonesty are often universally disliked.

Its a bit ridiculous to put a MN thread in the same sentence as credible threats, even if you don’t mean to conflate them.

They are two very different things. People laughing about her jam/instagram vs weirdos threatening to harm her in real life.

If her and H were genuinely trying to keep a low profile, I would completely agree. But Meghans just done two Netflix series, a website, new insta, Harry has done several interviews. People are allowed to have opinions.

They are some of the most famous people in the world. Millions are interested in gossip about them for whatever reason.

dottiehens · 08/10/2025 14:30

May be you should ask if the Oprah interview was the point where people started to really dislike her?

CrinkleCutSteak · 08/10/2025 14:34

Like come on, the phrase ‘hate speech’ has zero meaning anymore? I’m not interested in the Meghan drama, but even the rude / excessive comments I see people make towards her are not ‘hate speech’.

Similarly, making YouTube videos rebasing DailyMail snark about them isn’t ‘stalking’ - it’s just grifting.

In my opinion I think it probably was. Although I remember already being irritated with them by then so decided not to watch the interview (and never have apart from the usual snippets that get shown). I don’t remember why I was already irritated by them but I remember going from thinking good for them for going to the US to not these two again, I think I’ll pass (on the interview). All seems so long ago now so memory of it quite fuzzy.

NarnianQueen · 08/10/2025 14:43

I liked her until the Oprah interview when she told easily disproved lies - they got married 3 days before, Archie didn’t have a title because of racism etc. It made me think in the other scenarios with two sides to the story (eg making Kate cry) she was likely to be the one lying.

i don’t hate her though, I find her very entertaining.

Provable lies about where he was when his great grandmother died? Proven by the BBC from contemporary reporting. He was on holiday, skiing with his dad and brother, not at school as he recorded in his book.

Charles never said he wanted to be a tampon. In his call (illegally intercepted), he said it would be “just his luck to be a tampon”, ie a negative. This stupid story is brought up constantly.

Well he did say he wanted to live inside her trousers to be close to her at all times. While he was married to Diana. But it's ok because he's the king.

That’s a bit disingenuous, Charles was roundly attacked for that phone call, which was private and hacked and recorded. He was slaughtered in the media and for a long time. Not one person said it was ok as he was going to be king. And we all also know Diana was also over the side, not just during her marriage with single men but also with married men, Will Carling ring any bells?wanna ask his ex wife how she felt about that?

tne thing about rewriting history is many of us lived through it so are able to rebut and of course you lose credibility when you write nonsense like it was ok as he was going to be king,
