I don’t read the articles but see the headlines, the poor couple must be seriously damaged by the constant attention and criticism they are receiving.

I’m not a fan but enough is enough surely!

They court the attention! confused

Nanny27 Fri 26-Aug-22 14:17:45

I agree Fanny. Barely a week goes by without them making some statement or other. The latest podcast has been very poor received so I hear. I wish they would both just be quiet.

Huzzah -another H&M thread!!

So they deserve the bullying they get?

Righty-ho.

Angela73 Fri 26-Aug-22 14:24:12

Brilliant thread to start! This will get GN back on track hmm

Someone who goes on Oprah cannot be that averse to attention.

I don’t think commenting on a new podcast episode is bullying.

Baggs Fri 26-Aug-22 14:26:09

What bullying? I keep hearing about it but have never seen any evidence of it. Perhaps I don't read the right papers. ?

I'm astounded that people who claim to respect the queen can justify hounding her grandson because he "deserves" it.

I’m just as astounded that H&M clearly aren’t among the people who respect The Queen !!

Yes they do court attention Fanny and are often criticised for the manner in which they go about it. Not sure that's bullying though.

MissAdventure Fri 26-Aug-22 14:34:35

I saw meghan called a two bit actress on here.
I'm not sure that was a commentary on anything much.
Then there is the fact that she touches her husbands back.
Disgraceful!

MissAdventure Fri 26-Aug-22 14:35:32

Oh, and she put her hand on her pregnant stomach.

Then there's the fact that when they were thinking of moving into Adelaide Cottage it was a sprawling mansion, but now the Cambridges are moving there it has transformed into a modest home. Amazing.

However her recollections during her podcast do raise questions:

She called the accommodation provided for them in Australia as a Housing unit, when in fact it was the home of the High Commissioner. Rather an insult.

The alleged incident In Archie’s room (according to staff there) related to a heater was not plugged in and was dealt with immediately.

If it was such a dramatic episode, why did she not relate it during her tv interview for ITV when she was complaining about the way she was treated?

As was said after her Oprah interview ‘Recollections may vary’

Come on, they love it. Attention freaks.

Mapleleaf Fri 26-Aug-22 14:52:14

As regards to the heading of this thread - yes, exactly!! Let’s start right now.

I still believe it boils down to the fact that rather than marry an aristocratic English girl, Harry chose a black American outspoken divorcee who is older than him! P Morgan is immensely cruel simply because she had a drink with him. Once. When he didn’t receive a wedding invitation that was it. His knives were out. I also believe that most of the c* printed in the dreaded tabloids is made up nonsense.

Anniebach Fri 26-Aug-22 14:55:19

Did Harry joined in singing about raindrops?

VioletSky Fri 26-Aug-22 14:59:08

Yes it's very boring now.

Smallest opportunity to pounce on the poor sods

Leave em be

Apparently he complimented Serena on her hair and told her that it was a great vibe.

Madmother21 Fri 26-Aug-22 15:19:12

I can’t bear hypocrisy…‘nuff said.

They’re not being bullied. People are entitled to make negative comments about the podcast if they want to.

I haven’t listened to it because I can’t think of anything worse than nearly an hour of Meghan talking about herself ?

Recollections may vary on that one, volver. ?

I thought the OP meant that Meghan and Harry were going to stop bullying the Royal Family with their innuendos and underhand accusations.

Silly me! Now I've read the thread I am enlightened.

I think they court attention and when they are out of the limelight for a while up they pop again. I think she knew what she was doing when she married harry I'm not sure that he did.
