My opinion is , by and large M's past would be ignored by the RF. She was the person H wanted to many. I think a quick google ( doesn't take MI5 ) , would say she's been married and had relationships before. But , because H wasn't dreadfully important , in constitutional terms - who cares, Times had moved on in that eg no one knew or cared terribly about Catherine's previous boyfriends.

I'm far less interested in M's history pre H than what she has done since a married in Royal. & Increasingly , I think she thinks she hit the jackpot.

Or rather, she knows she hasn't.

She was allegedly furious that the King and Queen of Beckingham had several private jets and mansions hither and thither. When MM asked the other Queen Victoria for freebies from the VB line she said no, and MM fell out with them

MM was apparently bewildered that celebs can out-spend the RF. I think she didn't do any real research beyond "ooh, shiny tiaras!"

Oh dear , that is truly awful .

Your last sentence is interesting . I wonder how she feels about the daily criticism and negative comments . Do you think she knows how unpopular she is ? Does she care ? I just know I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed if I thought so many people disliked me .

Yes, I'd be like this too. It really makes me wonder about what life is really like for her.

I hope it's a happy household, for her children if nothing else.

There is currently a LOT of stuff on X . Most of it I take with a huge pinch of salt but the repeated suggestions that she was connected to Epstein and AMW are not going away. Another story doing the rounds is that Tyler Perry stood as guarantor for their mortgage and they defaulted and that’s why they returned here .
Allegedly .

The very rapid return and vague attempts to get back in Pa's chequebook good books has running-from-financial-disaster written all over it. There is no other reason MM would agree to come back here. The Diana doc/ MM acting roles/connect with family side quests is a red herring imho.

That Day in the Life in Toronto is awful....it's just her preening to the camera - where are the shots of Toronto?! Show us the food, the sights, the restaurant signs, etc. Not lots of footage of Meghan and people admiring Meghan...awful. She must really lack self awareness.

'I buy my meat from here'

You'd think she'd at least try and be consistent.

I think her DC have a better chance at a more normal, grounded childhood here, potentially, and some connection to family. Hopefully.

I agree that her relationship history in itself wouldn’t be a problem nowadays - but I imagine the checks are more concerned with shady or sleazy stuff - dodgy associates, drug use etc. I suspect some as ambitious as M might have made some compromising choices in her past.

Exactly & then the feeble excuse that he was getting older & poor health & wanted to mend bridges.
Thomas Markle is 82 had a leg amputed & they don't give jackshit about mending bridges with him, sure Harry has never even met his father in law.
Getting back in with the royal family was definitely financially motivated!

I disagree. Sure Harry isn't talking to his only brother. A&L have no relationship with their first cousins or Aunt & Uncle. I fully support the Wales in having zero to do with The Hams & to keep George, Charlotte & Louis well away from them

I think I have missed most of the last 2/3 threads and popped up here at page 23. I did catch the bit about ss attacking a couple of vicars, absolutely disgusting and I felt the need to find meaningful chocolate company and donate a few advent calendars to food bank. I sent an email to the company yesterday to say how appalled I was at the behaviour. I got an unexpected reply this morning which just makes me think what a decent bunch they are.

I too am absolutely sick of the hams, I had a mother who spent her life upsetting, insulting and trying to get a reaction, desperate for attention but the harder she pushed the more everyone withdrew, she knew people especially women hated her, she didn't care, she loved turning up and making others uncomfortable. People avoided her but rarely confronted her, it wasn't worth the aggro.

@binkie163 "I got an unexpected reply this morning which just makes me think what a decent bunch they are." I live in Australia and have had dealings with what I presume is the local branch as they have the same name and logo, and they are indeed lovely people.I have donated over the phone and they really like to chat and share their enthusiasm for their work, and discover your motives for an interest in the charity. If they are just doing it for PR, they are all fabulous actors as I am always aware of potential manipulation.

One person sent me a DVD starring the lovely David Wenham as Father Damian the priest who worked with lepers on Molokai Island. This was after I shared how affected I was by seeing Ben-Hur as a twelve year old when it was re-released and sobbed my way through his mother and sister's story.

I think Meg's past is buried by MIGS tbh.

ITA.

I suppose it's possible but surely past experience might by now have taught them they loftily ignore rumours and rumours of rumours at future peril?

I don’t think it’s a happy household at all, there was a recent report we discussed in one of these threads where I think it was an ex member of staff that said when Meghan gets criticised she takes to her bed, wish I could remember where the article was from.

Could someone please archive the DM article by Annabel Fenwick Eliot ?
It’s quite good .

Then again, I know only too well how vicious Meghan’s supporters can be. I regularly criticise public figures in my TikTok videos but bizarrely, it’s only ever her fans who send me death threats.

It’s horribly similar to the lives of Michael Jackson’s children….

It's similar to the lives of the kids of all famous people - people who actually know them and where they are at school, who their friends are, don't talk about them publicly.

That stood out for me too 🤔🙄😂

Also "I'm a chatterbox and I received no end of the damned stares!" this made me laugh @Hamsterwheeloffortune I can only imagine 😆

Good article apart from I don’t think the “holiday calendar” will sell out and Meghan will be laughing all the way to the bank at all, no doubt Meghan will sell out but only because there was limited stock produced in the first place, who is her market apart from some weird devotees? who I suspect are not the demographic who have much money to afford it in the first place.

Was just going to post that as well, how do they get away with issuing death threats? and Meghan publicly sates she has a “squad of support” I honestly find Meghan deeply sinister.

So do I! I thought I was the only one.

She genuinely scares me.

Can’t keep on the thread but I’ve seen on Twitter that all her new items are just brought in from a company that you stick your own branding on. With a massive mark up.

I don’t think H is interested in Africa in the slightest, I think he had good holidays there thats all.

But had him & Chelsy married I'd imagine he would have happily done work there on behalf of the crown

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the HAMs planted both stories as they are so desperate for any attention.

I absolutely agree with you. They are absolutely ridiculous
