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 don't hate anyone, least of all Harry & Meghan. I think they've become media punchbags, they can't do anything without endless negative reporting. So, in some ways, I feel sorry for them.

Meghan is just an annoying American. I know a lot of Americans and some can be very irritating. And some can be lovely.

However....... she was never ever going to fit into our archaic Royal Family. Not in a million years.

Some posters on here need to think and give their heads a wobble... calling her 'that creature'. FFS... this illustrates my first paragraph. She is not 'a creature'. She is a wife and Mother. She has been called every name imaginable on this forum over years and it makes me much much more sympathetic towards her. Good for her keeping going when there's words like this plastered all over the internet. Horrible.

Keep going Meghan. Ignore the haters. They show themselves up beyond belief.

At least this thread has some balance, I found the Meghan narcissist thread really horrible.

Except she allowed Meghan to take the fall for making her cry when actually it was Kate who made Meghan cry & took her flowers to apologise but still didn’t correct the narrative.

Why the hell has someone objected to my post! I didn't say anything rude,or defamatory plenty of unpleasant posts on here.

No they went to dinner with her the next day. What do you think verbal abuse is? It is violence against a women, imagine somthing similar was said publicly about a female relative of yours? You think that doesn’t give anyone the right to do the same as no one called it out.

She's a narc and a liar. That's why.

@Nannyfannybanny you said a black woman wasn't black 🤔

I dislike the woman. I went to a special street party for her wedding day, ate cake and waved flags (and helped to contribute the millions of pounds of taxpayers' money towards it), It was a beautiful day and marked a historic moment of races and cultures marrying within one of the world's oldest royal families. Fast forward a couple of years and Meghan is actively taking the piss out of the Queen and British traditions, then on international TV insinuates that the whole of the royal family are racist by not saying which one person said something racist to her. Harry and Meghan then constantly requested privacy whilst doing everything in their power to use their fame and publicity for making money. They opted out of the royal family but complained that their children had no titles and their royal protection (at millions more cost to the taxpayer) was revoked. So yeah, I think she's really unlikeable. But I still wouldn't use the word hate.

beaniebabby, Thomas Markle isn't!

I think it's reasonable to observe the Queen and Philip rather set the tone by scowling through their wedding ceremony. Not to mention the younger female royals side-eyeing and taking the piss.
Meghan didn't stand a chance from the very start of being truly accepted into that family.

If Kate is truly 'the peacemaker', then she needs to say 'right, four of us in the room, thrash out our differences, with mediator help if we're not capable ourselves', and then all make an effort to get along, get on with it, and allow our children to be friends for the next generation.

Because for all the reasons already stated on this thread but also because (since she left the RF) she's become a very convenient decoy. The RF is so fucking awful and their antics/wealth/actual purpose are becoming increasingly harder to hide - even with a largely pro royal press. So, deflect, deflect, deflect folks! The establishment press are probably thanking god for MM. I can't believe so many reasonably intelligent people are falling for it.

@Nannyfannybanny how is that relevant?

She’s not the wife they would have chosen. Its not about her it’s about him

@Catpuss66 are you suggesting that neither Catherine nor Charles do have/had cancer - it appears so?

How is that relevant, I understand that the correct terminology these days is duel heritage. Ok, for everyone to call her a liar and everything else.

No I said it was strange.

I quite liked her in the beginning, like many people, and genuinely didn’t realise she was mixed race until I saw her mum. But now I find her really annoying and fake in as much as I ‘know’ her from the media and what she and H put out there. And I find him similarly irritating with his seeming unawareness of his massive privilege.

However I do think it really suits the royal family for them to be the bad guys - they’ve done a lot of stupid, selfish things but it’s not exactly in Andrew’s league is it - or his stupid grasping ex, not sure why either of them are in the public eye any more.

We do distraction far too well in this country - the establishment, government and press love to see the commoners getting worked up about sport or reality TV or whatever else they tell them to so they don’t notice what’s really going on. I first read the phrase ‘bread and circuses’ on here many years ago and I think it’s bang on.

How is it strange @Catpuss66 - you do know the rates of cancer in this country don't you?

I like her so I’m probably the wrong person to be answering but I do think a lot of people underestimate how culturally different the U.K. is to the US. A lot of things she’s criticised for really aren’t a big deal over there.

I also think because of her age and wanting a family, she wasn’t able to spend years getting to understand how the royal family and their relationship with the press works, in the same way that kate was, so maybe she will make some missteps.

Lastly the press always gives the royal women a hard time - Fergie, Camilla, Diana, the York sisters, Margaret and kate all had a period of time when the press were dicks to them.

She could have cancelled the lunch the next day, and ended the relationship.

The article came out two days after the lunch, it also wasn't Camilla's event. It was a huge Christmas event hosted by the former Fortnum and Mason guy with dozens of people invited. Judy Dench, Maggie Smith, Jimmy Carr, Tess Daly, Maureen Lipman, Claudia Winkleman, Hugh Bonneville, Chris Evens included amongst dozens of others there.

I'd forgotten the sniggering at her and Harry's wedding! That was so rude.

I don’t hate her ( i don’t know her) but I dislike her lies , manipulation and blatant disregard of the late Queen’s instruction not to monetise the Royal connection.

To be fair I think that was more surprise at the passionate American style preaching of Bishop Michael Curry's sermon. I remember saying 'wow' outloud at home when he brought civil rights and slavery into the sermon. I thought it was a great sermon but it was hugely different to the style (and length) of the sermons the UK congregation are mostly used to.

As @wordler said, "The article came out two days after the lunch"

If you look at the work Camilla has done to draw attention to and support those suffering sexual and domestic violence you would see that she has done nothing but call it out.

I think hating her is going a bit too far, but I can’t help disliking her when I think of all the good she could have done - and all the damage she chose to inflict instead.
I’ve listed some reasons she is disliked - (Harry also shares the blame for a lot of these:)

• She is pretentious; most of her sentences are word salad.
• She comes across as inauthentic.
• It’s hard to believe she didn’t know anything about the royal family when she owned a copy of Morton’s Diana book as a teenager - and was photographed sitting on the railings in front of Buckingham Palace at the age of 15
• Only having one family member at her wedding was a red flag.
• Inviting celebrities that she didn’t really know eg George Clooney made her look like a fake.
• Her estrangement from her father looks vindictive now.
• She has been accused of bullying multiple times. True or not, her reputation is tarnished.
• Her high staff turnover is suspicious.
• Talking self pityingly about how no one asked if she was all right when she was in a country surrounded by poverty was tone deaf.
• She has told a lot of easily refuted lies eg she said her real wedding took place in the backyard a few days before the public one.
• She accused two members of the royal family of making racist comments but didn’t specify who thereby unfairly tarring them all with same brush.
• She allowed this accusation of racism to stand for two years until Harry refuted it in the Tom Bradby interview.
• Despite by now saying the royal family was not racist they both accepted an award for standing up against 'institutional racism'.
• She lied to Vanity Fair about her humanitarian work which they could find no evidence of.
• She was found to have lied in court in the case about the leaked letter and was reprimanded by the judge.
• Saddling her daughter with the name Lillibet Diana was insensitive - and adds fuel to the argument that she wants to profit off her royal connections - and is therefore making them as obvious as she can.
• The mock curtsey to the Queen in the Netflix programme was disrespectful.
• She flew thousands of miles in a private jet with a film crew to do performative grief tourism at Ulvade after the school shooting.
• Her lifestyle programmes are poor viewing.

I could go on, but I guess you probably get my drift by now.
