Megan and Harry......A good word?

I think they were great in Africa with the crowds and didn't put a foot wrong (until that interview).

They are a young couple with a little baby. Does anyone have an ounce of sympathy?

Hardly a young couple. She’s pushing forty and he’s not far behind. I have very little sympathy. They’ve been the architects of their own downfall imo.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I am not a royalist by any means but I have some sympathy for this couple who have so much vitriol thrown at them, I try not to judge anyone (not always successfully) without metaphorically walking a mile in their shoes.
I wish them well. Thank you

Gabriella and SirChenjin
Couldn’t agree more.

Quite some time ago, long before the "Megxit" thing, I started a thread along the lines of "I used to think we'll of Meghan, but know I'm not so sure"

I stand by that. Although am starting to feel some sympathy for Harry.........make of that what you will

Allegedly Harry has said he cannot believe how his life has turned upside down. It is the life that he and Meghan have chosen they are the only people responsible for their decision and lifestyle choice. It is sad that it has come to this and I do wish him, Meghan and their Son well for the future.

I read the paper, watch tv news and listen to the radio, but apart from the wedding I never see or hear anything relating to Meghan markle so have no clue, or opinion, about what she has worn, done, said, or been.

I am not a royalist but have been surprised with the sometimes quite unpleasant vitriol aimed at the couple since their wedding.

Posts on gransnet pages just go on and on. Yes I am adding to it now but it’s the first and will be my only comment.

Surely there’s more important stuff going on.

I feel that 'Never complain, never explain' would have been a useful mantra for them and I fear they've made bad choices which they may already regret.

No! she is a Goldigger and she has turned him the same way.
How sad.

Exactly, very strange level of animosity

I lovecheese. Exactly.

As long as they don’t take money off us I don’t care what they do, but if we pay for their security etc after them stating they want to be financially independent, then it’s a farce and they want their cake and eat it.
Have they paid the money back to us yet for their renovations as they promised.
I’ve gone off them both.

I enjoyed the wedding and I like bit of glamour, but I am not really invested enough in the Royal family to have any strong opinions about their actions.
I certainly don't pretend to know their characters or motivations and don't really "get" that so many feel as if they know them personally.
I have been surprised at the level of vitriol that has been aimed at them on a forum for grandparents,on so many threads and for so many hours.

None whatsoever.

aggie no, I don’t either and whoever did sell them to the paper was very wrong to do so. I’m finding difficult to have any sympathy for them though because I think they’ve behaved liked idiots. They come across as completely self absorbed and only interested in making money from the Royal connection - I don’t think they’ve done themselves any favours.

Did the five friends ask for the writers consent before they
disclosed part of the letter? If so she wanted it made public.

Private letters are exactly that. The editor of the gutter press should be ashamed of himself for publishing it without the writer's consent. The press are adding to the sad discord already present in the Markle family.

Agree oldwoman70. But we’ll be told not to post if not interested (more time on hands !). I’m just amazed at how many threads on these two with the same things said again and again and again as if original

Blimey I don't always agree with Gabriella, but this time I do.

Her friends disclosed parts of the private letter

No.
They could have done so much good in the UK.
I liked Meghan, and hoped that she would settle into life within the Royal family but I'm afraid that the pull of her old life lured the two of them back to the USA.
I never, for one minute expected them to settle in Canada!

All valid remarks , but I do not think any private letters should be published .
You can’t say that that paper did it for altruistic reasons
I am not a royalist , nor a Megan fan , nor am I particularly impressed by dim Harry

And here we go again - resurrecting the same complaints about a couple none of us know. Personally, I don't care one way or the other, why not just forget about them

They are not a young couple.

The text’s they sent to her father when he had undergone heart surgery? It was all about them .

They could have flown to see him after the wedding but no,
went on honeymoon, something they could have delayed.

They visit S.A. All they spoke of in their tv interviews were
themselves, ‘ no one asked if I was ok’,

As for the announcement that there would be no announcement.!

The first photograph of their baby for the public ? A toe.

Nope - not one ounce of sympathy. I was quite surprised by the engagement photos with her in her ballgown in the garden and all the back rubbing she did to Harry in the early days but beyond that I had no strong feelings about her/them. Now I just wish they’d bore off - they’re a pair of entitled attention seekers who can’t separate fact from fiction, and they irritate me intensely.
