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!

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....

Some can’t tell the difference between bullying and criticism ,
no one here can bully a public figure unless they speak to them,

Is Johnson bullied or criticised on this forum ?

Was calling Prince Phillip- Phil The Greek, or referring to the
Queen as Lizzie bullying, criticism , mocking ?

Exactly!

I do love a bit of gossip. My friend's son's friend's cousin was at Eton with Harry. Harry said he wasn't worried about exam results as his life was all mapped out for him. Oh dear, Harry, if only you'd known then ...

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!

I don't think ' disgraceful ' is really appropriate term to describe comments? Disgraceful is the half said accusations of racist comments by "someone" in royal family/thinking that UK police are for sale as personal bodyguards/inferring that UK is more dangerous than USA? All calculated to hurt, Insult ,cause damage and for what? Why? Is it that someone thought that life would really be like a Hollywood fairytale/Mary Poppins etc and got really angry that it wasn't and really really angry that we didn't all fall about fawning over them? Worth a thought but.bullying? You don't know what you're talking about And obviously not ever been really bullied!!

The only publicising of the N word in the media has been Meghan herself making a lot of comments about it. Before that, the only relevant comments were on the lines that their children would have a combination of their parents' looks. As do all children - so a truism, not an insult.

Smileless2012 Tue 30-Aug-22 13:50:18

I don't think there's any need for the Royals to brief the press against Meghan. She manages very well on her own.

Daisymae Tue 30-Aug-22 13:50:03

For people who wanted to live private lives they sure do court publicity. The further away from the throne they get the less interest the media will show. It's all very tedious, they can only trade on the one thing they say they dispise.

There is a lot of bullying of MM on social media. She did well academically the top of all the Royals. And her Podcast reached number one. Wonderful.

There is racism in the monarchy
the household used to ban black and Asian immigrants from staff appointments. The palace also successfully lobbied to be exempted from race laws that ban discrimination in the workplace.

"These revelations are absolutely appalling. So much for the royal family promoting race relations and strong links across the Commonwealth."

"To hear the Queen actively discriminated against black and Asian employees, and still has the freedom to do so, is shocking."

I think the Royals are briefing against Meghan to the press well they only have Charles as Head of State when queen goes so monarchy looking rocky there popularity going down so have to up their PR and play blame game. ????

Ps, please someone tell me what or whom in the media has called her children the n word that she is now banging on about? Tumble weed cos it just ain’t so.

Just love the name!

Haven't seen any overt racism in the British Press, although I expect there is a lot on social media.
I suspect it is our Media that Meghan hates and the fact the RF didn't fight her corner.
The American way is very diferent to ours. We do the stiff upper lip while they like to "call out" and sue.

icanhandthemback Tue 30-Aug-22 13:28:01

Note not one member of the royal family or household has said a word about her …. Ever

Blackcat3, of course they don't. They have a "never explain" policy so that even the investigation into her alleged bullying of the staff was not published. Just a cryptic, "Recollections differ," which didn't really tell us anything or the extent of the recollections that differed.

I understood she had a drink with PM as she was after help with introductions to rich high profile men.
He saw right through her and she didn’t like it one bit.

Cp43, did you ever see the Have I Got News episode where PM lost his cool and actually threatened Ian Hislop because he didn't like the banter that was happening about him? He actually pointed out that he knew where Ian Hislop lived in a threatening manner. Having had no real like or dislike of the man before that, I was stunned and just showed what a nasty piece of work he is. That's not even going into his handling of his position as an editor or his share dealing! I wouldn't believe a word he said.

Anyone pro Hazbeen and MeGain needs to read Tom Bowers very informative and well written book about them (her mainly). Both should be done for treason in my humble opinion and failing that, strip them of their titles. With no connection to the royal family their earning potential diminishes dramatically hurrah!!!

'They do not court attention.'

Where exactly do you get your news from?

Blackcat3 Tue 30-Aug-22 13:15:42

She’s the bully!! Note not one member of the royal family or household has said a word about her …. Ever….yet she continues to court the press with claims about them. She is a determined to be a victim….poor little princess …. Why anyone is interested in her whining alludes me. The pair of them are talentless and unable to earn money in any other way except harping on about how badly they were treated. Hopefully at some point no one will be interested and then they will just fade away….

Nannapat1 Tue 30-Aug-22 13:14:12

They receive criticism which is hardly surprising after some of their statements and the content of her interviews and podcast. But bullying? No I don't think so.

Then I suggest you read the articles instead of just the screaming headlines.

'They do not court attention'

That is clearly untrue!

Smileless2012 Tue 30-Aug-22 13:08:46

Yes it is Grantanow and one of his grand son's has voiced his anger about it saying that there was dancing in the streets to rejoice the end of Nelson Mandela's 27 year incarceration. No one would dance in the streets because Meghan married a white Prince.

I wonder if she'll ever learn.

Anniebach Tue 30-Aug-22 13:02:04

They were living in the Commonwealth when living in U.K.

grannyscott Tue 30-Aug-22 12:50:14

They do not court attention. The media should just leave them alone. Interesting that we’ve found out today they offered to go and live within the Commonwealth but were refused. The grey suits and the senior members of the Royal Family have a lot to answer for. No wonder their motto is “Don’t complain & don’t explain” it allows them to get away with a lot.
The media seem to think it’s ok for the likes of Camilla & Charles to rule the country. A man who took millions in cash in a hold-all. Any person with a moral code would know that behaviour like that was wrong on so many levels!

Grantanow Tue 30-Aug-22 12:48:14

Load of twaddle. The Sussex's are playing hard for publicity to enhance their income from their contracts now they are not 'working' royals. Meghan's comparison of public delight at her wedding with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison is disgusting.

Nannashirlz Tue 30-Aug-22 12:47:38

If she stopped coming out with woe is me stuff and do as I say not has I do. I Don’t tell lies for ppl to call you out on then she wouldn’t get as much from ppl. Sorry but she’s done nothing but slate this country and Harry’s family down. Just look how she treated her poor dad and now she’s going after Harry’s. Family. I like many ppl were happy for him when he got married skin colour had nothing to do with it. But now I’m waiting for the divorce because that’s what will be next.

annsixty Tue 30-Aug-22 12:47:34

Can anyone really imagine Harry calling Charles “dad”
As in “ he said to me I have lost my dad through this”
Or words to that effect.

Dcba Tue 30-Aug-22 12:46:32

How unkind and cruel some of these comments are…..this topic has certainly fuelled some miserable attitudes. .
