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!

May I suggest to Gransnetters LBC 10.00 - 13.00 hrs Monday-Friday, James O'Brien. Always a good listen.

Dolly Parton smiles and giggles a lot ?
There’s very few women who were as powerful as her in the music industry.

Dolly Parton doesn't smile and giggle when she's talking about serious issues. Like women www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M9TW9MZKsU

Enough is definitely enough! Every time I think this silly couple has at last gone quiet, up they pop again with some new ‘revelation’ about the RF (a favourite, lest we forget he, at least , is related to them), their philanthropy, her struggles with her mental health, her this, her that, oh and a bit about poor old ‘H’ as she calls him, just to remind us again of Who She Is. Wish this hypocritical and self absorbed pair would just go away and so no one could write about, or bully’ them ever again!

You are right ^. for people who wanted a quiet life they manage to get media coverage OFTEN. Can't stand the pair of them, especially Megsie she lies all the time, Hapless looks out of his depth, and miserable most of the time except when boarding a private jet to go and preach to people about saving the planet

and now ..surprise surprise she gets more of what she wants ...HA HA PRIVACY ?????? no way does she want THAT ..imagine if no one read her rubbish, or commented endlessly on what she says or thinks ...........hopefully she would then go away and stay away and STOP courting more and more publicity only fuelled by all our comments ..she achieves what she wants ......lets all totally IGNORE her...and that goes for all the media,the public and anyone else who influences opinion ......she must be LOVING it !

I love her response to being called a dumb blonde, “I’m not dumb and I’m not blonde!” ?

Who's bullying who? They are both aware the Royal Family can't fight back.

Maybe a ome of you should think before you type....

I wonder what kind of thinking Meghan does before laying into her husband’s family again and again?

They both court the limelight. I do not think they are bullied, in fact Megan was actually investigated for bullying royal staff. Considering they wanted privacy they are never out of the media. Sick of them both. Obnoxious pair.

Because no one ever in the entirety of the world has ever been falsely accused of anything.

Especially not people of colour.

I have read so much nastiness on various posts on gransnet over the past year or two about Harry and Meghan. It can all be considered bullying. Maybe some of you should think before you type....

Didn't you know? Its not bullying as they will never read it.

That's what I have learned on these threads.

MerylStreep Tue 30-Aug-22 18:31:36

I love this post on MN
Meghan to Serena Williams Enough about me, what about you. What do you think about me

I think that picture is pretty great. It takes guts to have your hair slicked down, wear a black sweater and stare straight at the camera. She has great bone structure. I don't think she looks scary. I think she looks challenging. But god forbid women should do anything but smile at the camera and look happy. People might start to think of them as competent, clever human beings, and then where would we be.

So, if you smile, does that mean you're neither clever nor competent?

Oh dear ?

Practising
???????? Oops!

Of course not. But if you smile because someone tells you to, or it is expected, what else are you doing but fulfilling the role assigned to women of always being accommodating and happy? A lot of posts on this thread demonstrate how a woman who doesn't smile is regarded.

accommodating adj
"willing to fit in with someone's wishes or needs"

Whenever has a happy smile meant that someone is pliable and a doormat?
It usually means just that, someone is happy and confident.

And whenever has a mean look meant that someone is strong?
It usually means someone is angry, miserable and unhappy, not strength of character.

It's interesting to see the dichotomy of opinion between posters, though.

You see I don't think she looks mean- there is a difference between challenging and mean.

If they respect the queen why on earth did they behave the way they did when her husband was dying ? Beyond me.

Googes41 Tue 30-Aug-22 17:46:27

Ignore Winge and Ginge there is a limit to their made up stories.

This thread is even more entertaining than the Sunday Mumsnet one. wink

This is how I see the reason for the Sussexes return to Blighty....

And so it continues.

Speculation, assumptions, rumour, gossip. Keeping it all live for the foreseeable future.

Sun's come out, garden needs watering. Have a pleasant evening, all.

usuallyright Tue 30-Aug-22 17:19:50

Yes it really is boring, and why do so many people read or listen to any thing she says or performs about?

As the saying goes "They made their bed so let them get on with lying on it"

Need I say more?

Allsorts Tue 30-Aug-22 17:18:37

Good that Mandelas grandson spoke out, what on earth is going on? It’s insulting to what he and his fellow men suffered. I ploughed through his book, what a clever man, I got lost with all the names and lawsuits, yet he remembered everything.
What he did will go down in history. I went to the prison where he was held in isolation and I hold him in high esteem. For her to remotely associate with him is ridiculous.

Smileless2012 Tue 30-Aug-22 17:07:26

Not sure how Meghan telling lies will counter the out and out lies in the media Glorianny.

gillyjp Tue 30-Aug-22 17:06:05

I haven't ploughed through all 14 pages of Gransnet responses on this so forgive me if I've duplicated anything. This is how I see the reason for the Sussexes return to Blighty. Prince Harry once again wants (and I quote) 'to ensure that his Grandmother has the right people around her and is being looked after by the right people' or some such nonsense he came out with at his earlier fleeting visit. I would hazard a guess that he is trying to keep the lines of communication open and friendlyish as he (and more likely her) want to make sure he is still in her will. Meghan has had the whiff of money and will cunningly ensure he (and by association she) don't miss out. I hope the Queen has altered her will to reflect their unkind and hurtful behaviour. He who laughs last and all that......

Chestnut Tue 30-Aug-22 16:59:50

Glorianny There may be a lot of nonsense and lies written in the media about Meghan but she does court media attention by her own behaviour, comments and lies.
