The Sussexes & Hypocrisy

Doings

Your last sentence. In some people's eyes, those prior relationships will be sufficient for them to decide she's not fit to be Harry's wife.

The fact that Harry himself has had on-off long term relationships (not to mention some short term ones probably) will simply be overlooked.

This woman is being judged (and boy, is she being judged!) by old-fashioned patriarchal mysogynistic standards - upheld by an awful lot of women, IMO. Otherwise why do her previous relationships matter? And that's a rhetorical question, I know the answer!

Doings you read those comments as racist ? Good grief

Merlotgran : Harry has gone over to the dark side - on page 1.

Forgoodnessake : mother would be mortified by his actions. And his choice of wife -on page 1.

Let's underline the posts referring Meghan as -
Second rate soap star - and - simpering trophy wife.
'That actress' - and - z list celebrity.

Meghan was married once befor and had a 2 year relationship before her marriage to Harry. Not married 3 times.

Jaxie

Know her well then - or did you form your opinion on the back of the honest, unbiased media reports about her?

... and Harry would survive even if she did as you untimate she will. He's not without the support of family or friends. I also doubt he's the poor little puppy that many of MM's detractors are making him out to be.

For all you know she might be perfectly happy with her role as a mother, and as the wife of Harry. Perish the thought eh!

Why are women so bitchy about other women?

Poor deluded Harry: she'll chew him up and spit his bones on the road.

That is surely wrong.
Such info could not possibly slip under the radar.

pink quartz- her third marriage???

Doings will name the posters , she has asked for kindness and I have asked her to be honest

Must admit I've not seen racism on Gransnet politics threads although I've not read them all.

In fact it's the only social site I've been on which appears to be able to discuss politics without racism, threats or deliberate insults, which is quite unique according to my experience.

Heated and at times there's angry comments, but that's the nature of politics I guess. But racism? No, I don't see it.

This is actually her third, yes third marriage. They are both over 30 years of age and should be old and mature enough to cope with a few changes.
their conspicuous spending is obscene because they do nothing to earn the mney they spend. I do not accept that shaking a few hands etc is a job.
They are relics of times gone by and the sooner we stop pandering to them the better.
They are not bothered what people like us think if them.

To me this couple are like any of the others in Hello magazine - famous for being famous - of no more interest than that.

Veiled racism? I haven’t noticed any, I’d better have another look.

Please name the posts you claim are veiled racism or apologise

And I'm very happy for anyone here yo think of me in any way they like from my post. I've seen veiled racism in some of the comments. I see who posts that stuff and oh you bet I'm judging them!

William and Kate in Anglesey cost Wales Police 1.4 Million in security.

Educate yourselves.

You are judging posters Doings

Oh gosh the vitriol against Meghan and Harry ...

A couple of points.
Meat isn't good for you, and the knock on effects to Planet Earth from cows / methane is well publicised.
Don't presume to know what Princess Diana would think of either Meghan or Kate.
Don't buy into the Daily Mail rubbish, it's the scandals that keeps them in business and they are going to want to keep their readership up.
Of course opinions posted here are your own but ladies let's be kind, please! No-one knows what goes on in a marriage. And maybe it's the bride calling the shots, it's not for you to object!

Further, dial back on the snide remarks, it's saying more about you than the people you are posting about! Judge and ye shall be judged.

When Harry and Meghan had their 3 day 'babymoon' they were accompanied by 3 close protection officers who would be on 8 hour shifts 7-3, 3-11, 11-7.

No Anniebach (sigh) . I think you know exactly what I'm saying about the media, so please stop trying to trip me up.

I had to laugh at your comment about the flat earthers

I know I should ignore the sleaze in the red tops, but I hate to see anyone - even my 'enemies' being verbally 'mobbed' and targeted. It can lead to some very nasty and dark places. The vulture elements in the Press can literally hound people to death, and I think it is both dangerous and ugly to continually put the spotlight on MM and Harry and encourage the spiteful and vitriolic comments - I've only read a few such comments, but that was enough.

So the photographs posted by Callistrmon are attacks and cause you dispair ?

@Anniebach
You don't need to "follow them in the press". I don't "follow them" either, you only need to visit these papers from time to time to see the extensive coverage.

As a Republican I don't take much interest in Royalty, but I do look at newspapers from both right and left wing, and I do know when I'm being manipulated by the press to think a certain way, and I will not be part of the gossip-mongering that IMO wants to drag this woman - and Harry - down, regardless of my feelings about the Monarchy.

Reams and reams ? I wouldn’t know, don’t bother with following them in the press

How can anyone possibly be "very unhappy" because they think this couple are not being "dignified" enough!

The media are deliberately highlighting the antics of (as someone earlier said) "minor royals". They haven't killed anyone, abused anyone, advocated harm. For goodness' sake!

I'm pretty sure the greatest damage to our country is being done by our rpreaentatives in Parliament - all of them.

The Redtops don't like Markle and frankly nothing will ever meet with their approval - the woman is not your traditional upper class Madonna. There will be a steady drip, drip of poison from these so that we continue to inspect and deplore everything this couple do. The Press are basically stirring the pot. Gossip, gossip, malicious gosspit... that's what it is, and it's unedifying.

MM is not above criticism... but articles, photo's... reams and reams of them every other day? I despair.

They certainly cheered up this old lady

Another here thinking 90% of the stuff punted out is clickbait from the tabloids inciting the casual anti-foreigner sometimes racist reaction. I suspect the Instagram site is more an attempt to control what's put out, though I doubt it'll work. Buck Pal rarely if ever contradicts tittle tattle - only occasionally going after people eg photographer who took pix of Kate topless. And then you get the trolls - was it 12 of them identified as responsible for hundreds of shit-stirring and inaccurate posts on the DM site and others? Busy little bees.
