"He loves me so boldly...." - Haarpers Interview with Meghan

[Phase42]

She's a beautiful woman but i can't understand why she just doesn't drop the titles and be herself. And it's odd how she talks about how much 'H' loves her but not how much she loves him.

Rather cheeky and revealing that harpers are using Catherine’s image instead of Meghans!

It is a tactic that a lot of websites use because Catherine is a fashion retail juggernaut and the marketing teams know her image has readers clicking to buy.

However, it's rather embarrassing...and very telling...that the Harper's team chose to do this so close to the release of their art issue featuring M!

I think Megan has done much better out of this marriage than Harry,

megan was part of an ensemble cast on a legal drama, a successful one, but many people wouldn’t have known her name, before that she did very little and was just another wannabe actress.

she’s now much much wealthier than she was, or could have hoped to be, she’s globally famous, she’s met and mingled with a listers who wouldn’t have given her a second glance as the c lister she was. And she’s titled, she is set for life, even if universally ridiculed.

harry on rhe other hand has lost a lot, he has lost his family, through his own actions, he has lost his reputation, and he will find it impossible to get back to his once secure position as a much loved and working royal, who was, irrelevant of his view of it, clearly hugely protected by the royal machine, his many many misdeanours covered up and a carefully curated image of a happy go lucky cheeky chappy portrayed to the world, he is unlikely to be accepted back to the uk, on anything other than sufferance, and faces a huge risk when his father passes, and he is simply the kings estranged brother, of his titles being removed if he continues or his wife does, as they have been,

it may not have worked out how Megan dreamed it would be, I’m sure she no desire to be an object of ridicule, but has got a lot from this marriage as it appears money and fame are critical to her, Harry has lost a lot,and I don’t think can ever fully recover from it,

Agree. Does Harry feel this way? Does he feel he’s married an impossibly beautiful woman of dreams & swerved the toxicity of his own family.

Who knows what Harry thinks or feels. It changes according to the wind. Or what he can remember on any given day.
Meghan is just putting it out there that she is adored by him. Which I find a bit sad, really.

I find it still bizarre that anyone still takes him seriously!
I mean he told us himself that he had a conversation with a talking bin! 🤪 , normally people would distance themselves from someone spouting such rubbish.

Well. Quite. I'm going to say, in the kindest way possible: Harry is not an accurate narrator.
Also, Meghan seems also to have a fleeting relationship with when and what has actually occurred.....
I think the pair of them live in some sort of alternate universe where their "truth" exists.

I've been thinking about her repeated claims to have her voice back. I have come to the conclusion that she believes she will have her voice back when people listen and agree with her and she is successful. It's the only explanation I can think of because she has been speaking her truth since they left the Royal family. Claiming she hasn't been able to speak only makes sense if you consider that by being listened to she means agreement and acclaimation. We've all been listening to her for years, we just don't necessarily agree with her truth.

Meghan has always been free to speak and to express herself. She went for it big time after 2020. She spoke to Oprah, she spoke on the Netflix series, she spoke to Ellen, umpteen magazines and tabloids.
I'm genuinely wondering what on earth she thinks is left unsaid.

I think this pertains to the pair of them.

I can't find a reference but Homer Simpson after spouting some nonsense and Marge having pointed this out says "I have spoken. It is true"

Now that is just weird 🤷‍♀️

The Custom of the Country reads like Meghan’s script - it is uncanny. Marrying “old money” only to find that old money equals not much money. And the bit when Undine Spragg first dines with the old NY money people and is astonished that the fare is so plain and not on-trend, and the decor is not the latest thing. It’s so Meghan going into St George’s Chapel, wrinkling her nose and declaring that it smells “musty” 😂

Yes. I think maybe she believes what she has not said, or potentially might say, is her power.

It's her worm on her hook. But she keeps her baited hook out the water, while the hungry fish circle below.

And maybe people are starting to think there is no worm, it's a bare hook.

And the fish circling below are rapidly losing interest and are swimming away.

She wants her hungry circling fish back.

DP sorry.

And would we believe it ? 🤷‍♀️

Mmm. Interesting.
I think also that people do get tired of the culture of victimhood. It's wearing thin

Spot on @Wickedlittledancer

I agree with this but I do wonder if Harry has enough self awareness to realise what his actions have cost him?

He couldn't have done a more thorough job of blowing up his present and his future if he'd tried. Does he know this? Is he miserable? Or is he still too blinded by Meghan to appreciate just what position he's manoeuvred himself into?

Yes, excellent points, @Wickedlittledancer .

It'll be someone else's fault.
The British media, probably.

I also think there's an issue of them piggy backing on the Cult of St Diana the Martyr.
That's something that both of them thought they could utilise, and monetise. Diana died 28 years ago, Charles and Camilla have been married for 20 years. Yet still, still on these threads we have the notion of an innocent Diana and the RF as cruel vultures.
Harry's wild claim on Oprah that he fled from the UK to "save" his family, and there was some weird stuff about repeating what happened to his mother.
That's all very strange stuff.

Oh it'll definitely be someone else's fault! But even so, is he perceptive enough to realise that he's stepped off the privileged path his royal ties once afforded him.

I think I read something on here yesterday about him being a drug addled pathetic man. It summed him up.

Definitely.

However much she may have screwed up her post royal life, Meghan has gained massively from this marriage in every respect. Whereas the opposite is true for Harry. Sure, he's gained a wife and children but he didn't need Meghan for that.

However, one thing he and his wife have in common is a complete lack of self awareness. I don't think he's aware of just how badly he's messed up his life. He still seems to think he's a working royal who is entitled to paid security and other perks. He will never again have the deference and respect he has taken for granted since birth, and his children will grow up as Americans with little knowledge of his homeland. I can't see that this is what he really wanted.

Well, in a nutshell.... 👍
