Why is there more online vitriol towards Megan Markle than Andrew?

I find it ridiculous how there is consistent hate towards Megan markle when she does pretty low key things like launching jam that no one is being forced to buy. People were delighted that she is no longer using HRH titles and even said she shouldn’t call herself the Duchess of Sussex (even though that is distinct from royal titles).

On the flip side - NO ONE has called for an actual investigation into Prince Andrew on the days that he claimed to be at Pizza Express in Woking, when his movements are logged by the royal gamily and his security detail so they eill
know exactly where he was!

He slept with an underage victim of sex trafficking who
conveniently died by suicide shortly before her memoir naming and shaming many individuals came out.

Limited criticism of the late Queen who used £12million
pg her personal money to pay off an underage sec trafficking victim & shielded him from any investigation.

Disgusted by it all and was amused to see the vitriol on an article about Megan breathing, whereas limited calls for Andrew to be investigated by any U.S or UK authorities!

WHY?

No one believes Meghan is an equal or bigger problem than Andrew. Andrew and questions around Andrew's public roles have important things to discuss in terms of the intersection between politicians and the monarchy, accountability and whether the system is working as it should.

Meghan and Harry put more into the public realm than Andrew so there is more to discuss about them but in no way are they problematic. They are irrelevant to the monarchy and the government, it's just interesting to watch people who had so much good will and influence lose it through their own decisions.

Believe me, a lot of people do. They spend the same amount of time hating Meghan, scrutinizing the most useless details and believing fake stories. And don't spend half of the energy with what is happening with Andrew and the Royal family. Maybe not you, but a lot of people in forums do. There’s plenty about Andrew his whole life, everything that’s come out, and even Fergie, who’s been seeking the spotlight for decades, his recent appareances. There’s no shortage of material there. So it’s not as if Meghan gets attention simply because there’s nothing else to cover. The Royal family as whole also appear more publicly than Meghan and this is a fact.

Which forums?

Perhaps direct your questions to the actual poster who posted it then.

Perhaps expect to be asked about it if you have showed your support to that poster.

As for the media, it’s simple: Meghan sells, generate clicks, profit. they literally have a contract preventing them from talking seriously negatively about Charles and William and their wives.

Which contract is this @Foxypuppy ?
Can you link to it, as well as examples of H&M being thrown under the bus to protect anyone else, thanks.

BigWillyLittleTodger · 23/11/2025 16:31

It was only after Harry left we discovered what a nasty, jealous, resentful, drug fuelled person he is, and the cheeky chappy image was all a front, because of this false image people forgave him for getting into brawls and pool parties with drugs and escorts, I think the royals protected him from the proverbial bus, left to his own devices the real man has been revealed and it isn’t pretty.

It feels like some people are determined to dislike Meghan, even to the point of believing the most absurd rumors. A lot of it is sexism and racism. As if they’re thinking, “How dare this divorced, American, biracial woman marry into royalty and point out its flaws and leave instead of quietly conforming?”
Her and Harry’s decision to step back also made the monarchy seem less relevant to many, and the fact that she’s American seemed to unsettle some people in the UK even more because independence historical reasons, a british prince going to live happily in america with a brown woman is hard for some British to swallow.

As for the media, it’s simple: Meghan sells, generate clicks, profit. they literally have a contract preventing them from talking seriously negatively about Charles and William and their wives. So they go after Meghan because she’s the most interesting and also the only one they’re actually allowed to target. She’s more interesting to the public, easier to attack, and the press knows she brings in money. While that, William and Charles threw her and Harry under the bus, leaving them exposed while the rest of the family stays protected. But the world is seeing and questioning.

Wow, so you completely make up that people are racist / sexiest / anti-divorcee-ist to protect Meghan, when she’s done so many shitty things, used people, bullied, tried to destroy 2 families … no, it’s just racism etc … 🙄 yeah, right

I think he owes a lot of thanks to the 'men in grey suits' that he keeps complaining about.

Apart from working hard to keep his image reasonably intact, they must also have done so much background work and advised in relation to his charities. I wonder if he was still there if he might have swerved the Sentebale mess (and perhaps been advised to get out of Africa Parks).

Calling him drug-fuelled or jealous isn’t evidence, it’s just your language meant to dehumanise him.
His mistakes were public and criticised long before he stepped down, he owned it and apologised, so pretending they were some big revelation only after he left is simply rewriting history. While that, William was protected and Charles who did a lot of wrong has not your words. And it's funny that instead of staying in topic, you only randomly, bring this amount hate towards Harry, not Andrew, not the royal family who protected pedophiles and evaded tax, confirming the question of the topic and making righteous the people who call out the double standards and point the racism, sexism and unhinged hate.

I’m going to repeat this slowly as you seem confused!
it wasn’t my post , I didn’t make any personal opinion of the post either positive or negative, I didn’t show support to the poster .
the only comment I actually made was..
you may not like the tone but unfortunately it was true.
but even after telling you repeatedly you still seem to be targeting me instead of the actual poster that posted it!
why is that exactly? Are you unable to scroll up to find the actual poster?
are you afraid of actually asking the actual poster?
or are you deliberately targeting me for other reasons?

BigWillyLittleTodger · 23/11/2025 16:54

I think the men in grey suits earned their money for sure and I don’t doubt the Sentebale debacle would have been avoided and Africa Park’s he would have been jettisoned out of there.

There is always the option to completely ignore something if you don’t like it… .

Then the same goes for you but no here you are 🤷‍♀️

I certainly think the ‘firm’ had a lot to do with positive PR… on his own though he’s like a child with no parental protection and no filter

And here we have the blinkered approach to Meghan - oh they're just racist, she's a brown woman, he's a British prince ( you forgot white) same old claptrap. Yawn ...

How do you know William was protected? Can you give me some factual evidence?

jeffgoldblum · 23/11/2025 17:20

That post told me more about the poster than it did about Meghan, and the same goes for anyone who tries to defend it.

@AllThisTime

There is no doubt that items about Meghan generate clicks - simply because by her behaviour she is divisive, and she works to keep herself in the media.

It would be useful to see some evidence of this 'contract'.

Someone on another thread made a helpful comparison between US entertainment media and the British press. Large celebrity agencies can often manipulate the US media by refusing to allow access to their 'stable' of stars if a story about a celebrity is printed that they don't want out there.

In the UK, if a media outlet is offered a story about a 'lesser' royal in exchange for a more 'senior' one, they now have 3 stories - the original story about the senior royal, a new story about a less senior royal, and a more scandalous story about a potential cover-up.

Yes the American media don’t hold back, the New York post are running an article about her allegedly stealing that green dress.

Can’t we say this for all the RF what we are shown is just an image and left to their own devices they would show their true colours.

I didn’t insult anyone. This was my post:

What’s the thing about her sitting on old men’s knees?
The sexy maid and blow job in a car were acting jobs weren’t they?
‘Creeping’ around Rory Mciilroy. Apparently they were friends, or maybe they had a relationship.
Why does any of that matter? There may be other things we can judge what her character is like from but I don’t think friendships and romances tell us much or especially acting jobs. Lots of actors take shit jobs whilst they’re trying to make it or make a living.

Aren’t you the poster who said something like if you support a poster you can be expected to justify their posts?

jeffgoldblum · 23/11/2025 18:01

i hope you got the point!
badgering one poster over another posters comments isn’t nice is it?
and if you had actually asked my opinion in a less aggressive manner I would have told you.
while the post was factual, no I would not have posted it myself,
i couldn’t care in the slightest what simulated sex scenes Meghan performed as an actress, I don’t care how many times she’s been pictured sitting on the laps of old men .
but other posters obviously do .
