Why is Meghan hated?

[YourBrickTiger]

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?

As for the Epstein files who isn’t on them!

99.99999756% of the world’s population.

I hope all 3 Wales kids are encouraged to make the most out of their education, and to have proper, meaningful careers.

That's because 99.9% don't have the money, power or influence.

Initially when Meghan entered the RF she did look best in her casual clothes. I don't know what happened with her stylist ( did she have one when in RF?) but on many occasions she just looked awful. See attached . It was dowdy and horrific. I would in fact describe it as " American Church clothing" . When you go shopping in the USA many of the dresses or formal outfits smack of this. She then blossomed in her role ( stylist?) when she wore clean simple lines eg the blue dress in the rain and the red one. Since leaving she has again ended up with some horrible outfits - the OTHER red dress. Maybe she thought she had to play a certain role and yes while there were guidelines or even musts while QE2 was alive. Catherine and Camilla have a " work uniform " although I think we are seeing some relaxation since Charles became King. Did Meghan have a stylist when in the RF?

She naively thought she could use the Royal Family as a platform to change the world for the better while simultaneously trying to live the Hollywood jet set lifestyle.

That’s not how it works and as soon as she realised she started whining about it. They then proceeded to talk about their need for privacy while simultaneously attending red carpet events and celebrity events. Both of them are stupid and delusional and are better off in the US where they will be pandered to.

Their career will be working royals. Of course I am sure that if they wanted to do something else then they will be supported by their parents but I get the impression that the children and their parents are very close and would be very supportive siblings much like Princess Anne and Prince Edward have been to Charles.

The other red dress? The one with the inverted nipples? I was horrified she rewore that I mean.....why would you? Of all the dresses of all the outfits why would you repeat THAT one

And im usually kind about her clothing

She was still friends with Jessica Mulroney then so possibly had some help. She has always claimed she styled herself.

I don’t get worked up about Meghan’s dress sense. Like all of us, she gets it right and she gets it wrong. I just don’t think she did very well as a royal because she didn’t understand the job and wouldn’t listen to advice. What she wears now as a non royal is her business.

FWIW, H wrote in Spare that Catherine absolutely loves clothes. But she might not be a huge follower of fashion and what she wears for work is often doing its own job, promoting the British fashion and clothing industry.

I think that’s harsh. She was many of the things you say but within a very miserable existence she did manage some meaningful and groundbreaking work. She didn't just get bored and move on.

Well, let’s face it, there’s always something more significant going to be happening in the world that Harry and Meghan getting an award.

Harry knew it was all beneath him.

I think she approaches all engagement outfits like a uniform.

Yes, I've always thought this. She also has the limitation of not bring the most senior royal, so not wanting to upstage the Queen on formal occasions.

I do wonder if she will be any more adventurous when she is queen or whether, as you say, she isn't particularly interested.

Re her dress sense I think she really suits bold colours. The second red dress was ugly, but the colour great. The green outfit she wore at the Commonwealth service I loved.

I really don't like the beiges and browns she wears much.

I think it's a little harsh to criticise Catherine for the lack of career given that she had to leave her job due to the media intrusion

The arranged for her Jigsaw gig?

Didn't she take it on the proviso she could swan off whenever she wanted to support the boyf's 'duties'?

TBF she's been called worse 😎

It’s not fine for the monarchy to be represented as trivial. Their immense wealth and power and influence is not trivial.

I agree and it's precisely why the monarchy's lack of transparency and accountability is unconscionable.

I’m obviously not criticising anything about Catherine in relation to her illness! She hung around not doing much for a decade. That is fine. But I’m allowed to say I find her stepford wife routine a bit dull. She’s a great mother and wife I’m sure. She certainly knows how to play ball as far as the RF are concerned. I don’t think she could do much better.

I don’t think they’re exciting but they’re stylish imo. In an understated and undone way that many women in their 20s and 30s go for.

I think there's a difference between stylish and fashionable. K has gone for timeless, which of course isn't fashionable and some people will see it as boring. Others will see it as stylish.

Catherine has a clearly defined job though. She is the future Queen. She can't be out there experimenting too much with clothes IMO. There were the famous images of her skirt flying up when she did not have weights in her hem for example. Any mis-step would be all over the headlines.

MM had aa role when in the RF. To support the Monarch, be a patron of whatever she was meant to be a patron of and to publicise causes with warmth and enthusiasm. I don't think she was particularly good at that. But I think her main issue was that she wasn't the main character anymore in her own life- just forever part of the supporting cast and I dont think her personality was that way inclined. For some people that would have been the perfect privileged opportunity- all the privileges with vastly less responsibility. But she needs to be the main event so it was never going to work.

I don't think that's the look that the future Queen would be looking to emulate.

I don’t know her obviously but reading between the lines I don’t think we know the half of what happened between her and her staff when she was in the Royal Family. It’s rumoured to be horrific with bullying accusations the least if it. The Americans seem to hate her more than we do. I listen to a few podcasts and honestly they really go for the hate. Her Paris trip was hours of content. Honestly hearing sassy New Yorkers talk about her can be very entertaining.

Meghan has always been a supporting actress/persona, right up until just before her wedding to Harry when she finally became the main character in something, her marriage. She wasn’t the main character in her first marriage, any of her roles, any social setting - perhaps her blog, The Tig, but that was mostly ghost written and edited and didn’t have a big enough following. The ambition and drive to be the main character is a sight to behold. Can you imagine being her spouse or friend or sibling or parent or coworker…or anything really! She would suck the life right out of any given situation!

Not by her fox of a husband though!

The irony was was that she had never been the ‘main character’ in anything in her life up to that point - she literally had background bit parts on TV and the pinnacle of her career was a 6th on the roll call - minor character on screen for max 2 mins per 1hr episode of Suits.

BRF was a huge escalation in profile - but seemingly not enough for her. Interestingly she didn’t cause mayhem and disruption and knew to keep everyone charmed whilst in Suits but couldn’t contain herself when in the UK. Perhaps that was PH fanning the flames in their folie a deux and/or she was totally emotionally disregulated by the new country and institution that she was flipping simultaneously between fight or flight mode. I do believe that her end goal was always to be back home in Cali as a Hollywood Elite A lister from the very start of her relationship with PH. It was just a question of when and how.

Thanks for all the participation guys, great comments and thoughts.

With regards to Catherine, I do like her but I struggle with a female in this day and age only wanting to be queen consort. That's what she actually wants and I often wonder is it out of pure love for William or is it because she was reared for the role. I guess it's admirable from both perspectives but is love enough to get you through that role? I guess for PP it was.
