She seems to have a very warped way of looking at things.

That photo was absolutely hideous. How she could not have seen that, is beyond me

Meg could have had some lovely relationships within the RF. even if they did leave and forged a life without being absolutely vile about them. She could have become friends with C, supported them when C was ill. Zara, c, Meghan and the yorks, all similar ages. Plenty of relationships could have been forged but she destroyed it

I find it hard to believe she couldn't connect with a single one of them. Perhaps she never intended to and they were all set up to be mere players in the 'Meghan is Diana .2' drama that she intended from the start.

Edited to remove a double negative

In my opinion it is not in her make-up to support others, she is always looking to see what they can do for her and when they can no longer do anything for her, they get dumped.

This. She's pathologically transactional. I don't think she knows anything else. She doesn't seem to have a solid support network, be it family or friends. Which is very unusual at her stage of life.

@meercat23, she seems unable to maintain any relationships. I am not great, I have a few close friends whilst my sister puts in the effort to still see friends from school, uni through to every job, but I still manage to have friends. Meghan's friendships just seem to be so transactional and she just cuts people off. Hence the weird parade of non-entities on WLM pretending that they all hang out together and it just falling flat. Even the Kardashians will have nothing to do with them! It seems such an empty and quite sad life really in their too big house they cannot afford within a community that wants nothing to do with them

The tone of this is interesting

https://www.dailymail.com/news/royals/article-15954869/How-Royals-busy-Prince-Harry-lands-UK.html

Buckingham Palace has declined to comment, believing that despite, once again, much perceived provocation by the Sussexes 'discretion remains the better part of valour'.
There has, however, been intense frustration that what should have been a drama–free trip, allowing the King to reconnect with his son and grandchildren, has been turned into another soap opera of Harry and Meghan's own making.

How Royals will keep themselves busy as Prince Harry lands in the UK

Most of the engagements have been long planned and will see almost all of the senior working royals out on public duty.

Those photos are wonderful, the closeness and love between them all is so evident and genuine.

Thedom · 06/07/2026 05:11

It’s a great antidote to Harry and Meghan’s latest drama, and when you look at those photos of 3 generations,, proud and happy for Catherine , it somehow emphasizes how cruel Harry & Meghan have been to William, Catherine, their kids and even the Middletons.

Very short article and the overall tone, from the palace and the journalist seems to be weariness at Harry's apparent inability to do anything without causing dramas. He must be exhausting to live with.

The perfect antidote to greed and self absorption.

I think they both must be tremendously hard work and not very nice to be around.

Deep down among the few brain cells he does have, Harry must occasionally wonder about her lack of old friends and how transactional her relationships are, and wonder whether it will happen to him at some point – which it will.

I think Harry has probably already lost his old (all?) friends. Luckily for him Meghan will have pointed out that this isn't his fault, and it's them against the world.

Whaaaat?! After all that HAM Dram he's done what he should've done in the first place? Pillock.

BillyBites · 06/07/2026 09:02

Hmm, who wasn't it good enough for then, I wonder?
