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?

Honestly never seen her mentioned in papers at the moment but everywhere is about him .....maybe your search engine finding the odd one piece out there. Clear your cookies and you find it literally is about Andrew no one else at the moment

Edited

Plus, Meghan and Harry are a busted flush now. They have dropped a long way down the food chain and struggle for publicity. They haven’t done anything interesting (to anyone but their fans) for ages so naturally they’ve fallen out of the headlines.

And why shouldn't she? Why can't she make a living? So she is involved in a schmaltzy NF series and sells jam and wine. So bloody what. Why can't she promote her next venture, it's not hurting you. Just ignore it if you dislike her that much.

I very much doubt she is making a living unless you’re talking minimum wage 😁

ApricotDanish83 · 22/10/2025 17:55

Because Meghan is a black woman and Andrew is a white man.

Absolutely nonsense!

How lacking in insight!

No.

Because she’s a convenient scape goat and the drones of so called “royalists” who believe everything the firm spews out gives them exactly what they want, her being the devil incarnate while the cheating, child abusing and arrogant privileged “family” get to do what the fuck they want as per usual while us little people carry on doing what were suppose to do, belive their gods gift 🙄

No. People judge on her own words and deeds put out there by her for public consumption. Being talked about is her oxygen.

She/Harry while reprehensible and repulsive do not bear any comparison to the odious disgusting evil Andrew! I don’t know why some people persist in doing that!

OP you do realise that more than one person can be despicable? You don’t have to choose! H/M are not likeable people and have done damage to the RF unfairly and have lied. Andrew is beneath contempt!

I know they left cos they want to esrn their own money and half in and out was denied. But if i was them id be sitting there with popcorn watching this unfold and thinking thank fuck we left.

They didn’t leave because of Andrew. Just wait and see hoot pans out and the lengths they go to for cash!

Sure that’s why she was being attacked long before her and a Harry stepped down. They were both an easy no longer valuable target for the RF to use as scapegoats long before they started standing up for themselves!

She isnt shoving herself in your face. She posts to her instagram which you can easily avoid of the media then pick that and run a story thats on it, again you can avoid reading them or just stop reading the Daily Mail since they love generate endless articles on her. Noone is forcing you.

She’s trying to!

Perhaps you could provide a source for that assertion as I recall M was universally welcomed as a breath of fresh air. Everyone generally was happy to see Harry find love. They then set about squandering and dissing all the good will. Harry shot his popularity to shit

Andrew is debauched and potentially criminal so different level.

Yes you are droning, if that is what you’re asking!

I read the paper copy of the Daily Mail this weekend (OK I looked at it on Pressreader due to a bizarre story about Nadine Dorries)

Front page - Andrew. The announcement had been the day before so obviously it would be front page news.

Pages 3-4 - Double spread on Andrew - again, expected.

And then, multiple stories about the sheer awfulness of Meghan, including her own double page spread. Just, why?

The whole paper was about 50% Meghan, 30% Andrew, 20% news. And I may be overestimating the news element, esp as there were 2 pages about Nadine Dorries' breast implants.

The Meghan hate bandwagon is just continuous, even when she is doing nothing.

I read the mail online app and have seen none of these stories. You’re just making this up (and yes the stories on the app make it to the paper).

Lots of people find her annoying which is fair enough.

Other people are just racist.

Lots of people dislike her because she's from the wrong background to be a Royal in their opinion, and wasn't a young virgin bride like Catherine and Diana. A lot of people (including some other women) don't like independent women with opinions.

Her refusal to play along with like of Piers Morgan and his like or bow down to the Royals (who let's face it are hugely dysfunctional) sealed her fate and made the Daily Mail readers seethe with rage.

People are really odd.

I disagree with your assessment of M’s unpopularity.

She just screams - absolutely SCREAMS - mean girl, manipulative, false, spiteful, shallow narcissist to me…and to many other people.

I would have crossed the street to avoid Ms Markle even after watching the engagement interview. It was some time before I learned she was mixed race so my revulsion most certainly can’t be blamed on that.

She’s welcome to dim whinger Harry. I have no beef with them now as long as they stay on the US and stop claiming to be either royal or philanthropists. They’re both fading from view now and that’s fine by me.

JoeMarlerseyes · 23/10/2025 07:45

lol so people don't "hate" her
yet use words like repulsive, mean girl, manipulative, false, spiteful, shallow narcissist , to describe her.
yeah ok.
interesting that the op has not been back,

Why? Are you like this in real life? I've met people at social functions, through work, all over the place and thought to myself gosh they seem a bit abrupt, strange, unfriendly whatever. I have parked that view and found out they have turned out to be the nicest people and I am glad I gave them a chance.

Obviously if you feel so strongly about someone just from a short interview on the telly, you were never going to give her a chance were you, especially with all the names you have just called her
It was obvious she was a biracial woman!

@CoffeeCantata

And yet you use language like revulsion, manipulative, spiteful. Extremely strong words about someone you don't know and have never met.
You've been influenced by the right wing media whether you choose to believe it or not.
There are plenty of alleged 'mean girls' in film, TV, public life. Do you have such a strong reaction to them?
If not, why not?

Theunamedcat · 23/10/2025 08:17

Because she keeps doing things to talk about with him we are rehashing the whole debacle

You have more in common with Meghan than you think. Random strangers that don’t know you calling you names you don’t agree with. Now just times it by about a million and no one to report it to. Seems a bit unfair you’re right.

But she isn't just posting on IG.

She's done NF series, a podcast of her own plus guested on several others. She's done People magazine interviews, TV interviews, Disney publicity, attended award ceremony's and given speeches, asked to be invited to a show at Paris Fashion Week and called photographers to take her pictures.

She's employed a PR team to publicise her activities. If she didn't want the public to comment about any of that - then she wouldn't do it.

Meghan is a celeb in the California celeb circuit. She's not a private person.

AllThisTime · 23/10/2025 08:48

I don’t think most people hate Meghan, it’s a small minority of very vocal posters on here and other places online that can make you think that. I rarely here anyone mention her in real life but when I have heard people talk about her in, most people don’t seem to have much of an opinion on her or feel any hatred is a bit much. On the other hand, when I’ve heard people talk about Andrew, the vast majority think he is scum.

DaphneduM · 23/10/2025 09:00

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion of course, but I think lots of the negativity around Meghan is just a deliberate construct of the British media. They left the Royal family, therefore are perceived as a threat and have to be cut down to size.

Personally I find her a fascinating, bright and very capable woman. She's building her profile and business alongside Harry's charitable endeavours. What choice do they have? She has to make money (their expenses must be huge when you include security) and is trying various ways to achieve that.

They look genuinely happy together (in my opinion) and I say well done Meghan for not being browbeaten and crushed by the British Establishment. I bet if the Royals could turn back the clock they would have handled things differently. My opinion is that they never thought Harry would leave and put his wife's well-being before the needs of the Royal family. Nice to see them happy and thriving in their gorgeous home - owned and paid for by them, unlike other members of the Royal family!

prelovedusername · 23/10/2025 09:05

Why are there so many threads asking what people think about Meghan Markle? Surely by now people have said it all?

chunkyBoo · 23/10/2025 09:49

@crinkletits- nonsense! You’re clearly baiting me here! In essence I’ll spell it out, I have a career based off of my education, I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am. MM has literally done nothing, yet puts herself in front of the world to big-up herself off of the back of other people’s hard work/sad experiences/qualificarions etc. All of what she does though is off the back of the very institution she’s crapped all over. She’s a nasty bully, I am not, but I don’t find it difficult standing up to such people and their behaviours.

you have no evidence of calling me a racist in your personal attack message yesterday, and the difference is you are retaliating to my own observations of both MM and PA, as I said, I can’t stand him either, yet you attacked me and called me a racist when you have no evidence I am a racist and you know nothing about me.
I think that says more about you and your similarities to Ms M
