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?

I disagree that he should have been told to abdicate if he had married Camilla first. Why?

The "no divorcees and no divorce allowed" bollocks was a stupid and arbitrary rule that the Queen couldn't stick with in the end. It wasn't exactly a raging success because her own sister and then three out of her own four children ended up divorced. She was also forced to face the damage that the continued toxic relationship between Charles and Diana would do publicly to the monarchy so had to allow the divorce to try and mitigate that (not entirely successfully).

So we now have a divorced King on the throne, which might well not have happened if there had been no impediment to him marrying Camilla in the first place.

Sorry but I'm not trying to 'goad' anybody. And I'm not putting anyone down. You don't have to participate.

All members of the RF, at whatever level, are awful. They all have PR to manipulate us. They are all varying levels of corrupt.

Again, a million things online about “fake” pregnancies, don’t really understand why you don’t google these questions rather than asking here.

Edward wasn't allowed to marry Mrs Simpson was he? Same thing.

Watch Oprah , read an analysis of the multiple lies and make up your own mind

What's the problem? I'm just trying to have a discussion with real people. Google isn't exactly reliable? 😞 Why would you come on to a forum and encourage people not to post? What harm is it doing you?

The thing is though, the people who are making her ' relevant' are the ones who obsessively hate her. I haven't a clue what she's up to, because I dont follow her Instagram, read every single tweet or whatever she puts out etc. I did watch her programme because it was a low concentration guff I had on during my lunch break. It was twee and a bit cringe. It's not a crime. I literally forgot about it as soon as I switched the telly off. People engaging with every piece of content about her by commenting on every article, combing through endless comments she may have made, freeze framing and micro analysing her every facial movement are feeding the publicity. She can say what she likes. The press dont have to publish it. They do though because of the absolute avalanche of engagement she gets mostly from people saying they hate her and hope she goes away!

racism for sure.

But also because a shocking amount of people don’t have critical thinking skills. They consume media without a thought and let it dictate how they should feel.

I also think the rf is to blame. They need to protect the will and kate, the future king and queen which is why most of their media is glowing. Negative media about them in the uk is swiftly taken down or quashed. Interestinu they can quash their own negative press but allow megs and Harry’s

That was 90 years ago. Things move on.

I don’t have particularly strong views on her but I would be more interested in finding out what it is people actually like about her?

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

This is the kind of stuff my mother comes out with

Still highly hypocritical. But the Queen did say that Charles was 'insufferable'.

This is factually incorrect. If you look at 'Royal' headlines over the last 6 months there have been multiple negative headlines about the Wales family.

Catherine in her early days also suffered more from the 'paparazzi' (including behaviour that would now be illegal) than Meghan ever did. People have selective memories.

I have absolutely no interest in or opinion of Meghan.

If you choose to avoid her it's very easy to do so.

That's nonsense. Catherine has never been subjected to what Meghan is.

The epitome of racism, shame on you @nopenotplaying
Reported!

That was in Netflix show The Crown, not in real life.
Blimey.

But he did marry her, he just wasn’t allowed to take the throne if he did.

Princess Margaret was the same, she was more than free to marry Peter Townsend but she didn’t want to give up her royal status to become a complete nobody.

She appeared on international TV lying. That tells me all I need to know.

No, he wasn't. He could only be free to marry her if he first abdicated, that was the choice he was given and he took it. That doesn't mean that it wasn't a ridiculous rule though, but divorce was quite a dirty word back then. He also did turn out to be a Nazi sympathiser in the end so would have been a totally unsuitable King, especially at that time (late thirties and during WWII).

I personally think though that once his Nazi sympathiser credentials became clear then he could well have been forced to abdicate anyway. We couldn't have a Nazi sympathiser as monarch, could we!

The abdication may have been a blessing in disguise really. So King George VI would probably have come to the throne eventually anyway, and then his daughter, Princess Elizabeth. We would still have the current crop of royals.

Times have changed, the royals must change too if they are to remain relevant. I don't think divorce and abdication should necessarily remain dirty words in royal circles. If course abdication should not happen willy nilly, but there can be times of need, such as advancing age and serious illnes/encroaching disability etc.

That's my opinion.

I agree too on Lilibet. ( its an ugly name apart from anything) but we dont know if it was Harry who wanted it or her. He was the one who apparently lied to his grandmother about it. But TLQ wasn't the one one to have it. Her grandfather called one of his horses Lilibet! But apart from that there have been others. In any case, my DS is named after the shortened version of my dad's name. He was thrilled. If TLQ was insulted about it, what a nasty petty woman she was.

I don't really know. I'm not sure if she's really trying to aim herself as a brand at British people. I'd say at this point she isn't very relatable to the average British woman. but also she now lacks the glamour of the association with the RF, as she seems keen to distance herself from them.

She's kind of bland and trad wifey, and I don't think she has all that much interesting to say. Her twee bath salts, overpriced flower sprinkles (squashed pot pourri) and under baked focaccia weren't exactly inspiring.

But that in itself shouldn't warrant the level of vitriol.

I guess it's because royalists feels like she was insulting the whole institution and saying the RF wasn't good enough for her.

I have no idea either why people dislike her, I like her and Harry a lot and won't watch Clarkson's farm due to his awful behaviour towards Meghan.

The fact that Clarkson and Piers Morgan don't like Meghan makes me more inclined to like her.
