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 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.

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?

tigger Tue 30-Aug-22 18:53:59

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spot on, Yammy. As for her being black, that may be a genetic fact but my features look blacker than hers and her skin is not particularly dark. Her behavior is more like that of a duchess than of someone in modern Black culture. I never really thought of her as black, except for her non-stop talking about it. I doubt that the British people you her as black per se. She strikes me as someone who wants to have the ability to cloak herself in her blackness when she needs it and drop it when she does not. She also strikes me as very, very ambitious and controlling. But having to have them lolling around over here! Too bad she couldn't have taken her 7,000 square foot floating yoga floor with her or donated it, at the very least, to some women's center.

volver Tue 30-Aug-22 20:28:48

It just gets better...

She's not black enough.

I just keep dropping in on this thread and it's worth it every time.

Glorianny Tue 30-Aug-22 23:16:54

She's ambitious as well though!

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it^.

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.

Bullying requires contact between two people, the bully who uses their strength or power to hurt or intimidate the victim. The gossip on this website is just people's opinions and in no way is it bullying. And judging by the comments here it seems Meghan is not held in very high regard!

I heard a sneak peek of the episode with Mariah Carey. cant wait to hear it on my walk tomorrow!

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......

I agree with ^^ you. I fervently hope they get zero from queenie's will as they have caused so much trouble, especially Megsie with her lies. I'm not a monarchist but as we have one they have to be quiet dignified people, not screechy types trying to be top dog. Meganuts even caused the Archbishop stress with her lies, he had to tell the queen that no marriage took place in a garden, you couldn't make it up

OPhere I started this thread some days ago to liven things up a bit.
I don’t read the articles, the headlines are enough!
However I think this sums her up;

EXCLUSIVE 'Overcoming 60 years of apartheid is not the same as marrying a white prince': Nelson Mandela's grandson slams Meghan Markle for suggesting South Africans celebrated her wedding the same way they rejoiced his freedom.

TillyWhiz Wed 31-Aug-22 07:33:04

Like mother like son (and wife)

It all reminds me of the Diana days.

volver Wed 31-Aug-22 07:38:29

Meghan aside, a lot of the problems we have in this country today are down to the attitude "I don’t read the articles, the headlines are enough!"

lemsip Wed 31-Aug-22 07:43:03

Sago The title of your thread is misleading ... should have read the article before posting!

it was about William telling Harry The bullying by meghan had to stop.

it firmly blames “the behaviour of Meghan for being at the heart of the break-up between William and Harry.” and airs claims that the Duchess of Sussex, 41, used her position in the Royal Family to bully and intimidate staff while living in Kensington Palace, with Harry, 37.

I 'm finding the war going on on FB so annoying, when all I want to do is chat to my family, Page after page of Sussex and Cambridge acolytes cooing about their royal icons, and slapping the other team down. I did ask someone who was raging on about how the Brits are so racist, and how they used the n word about the Sussex kids, to elaborate who/what publication had said that, and what evidence do they have that this was actually said. I was met with a torrent of abuse accusing me of being a racist troll and a hater, and I was erased from the comments. Really nasty and hateful language, Is that the bullying you had in mind?

volver Wed 31-Aug-22 07:48:48

Here's a tip BoadiceaJones. Unfriend those people you don't want to hear from and don't follow people posting about M&H. And don't engage with anyone you don't want to. Hide posts that you don't want to see.

Then, chat to your family.

Nannina Wed 31-Aug-22 08:21:41

I’m not the slightest bit interested in this couple and wish the media would stop giving them print and air time. That way they can have the privacy they say they want. Unfortunately they seem to have to make controversial statements about ‘their truth’ to continue their mega million income.
