Duchess of Sussex the bullying has to stop.

She’s making out she’s the victim (poor me). She needs to just go away and get on with her own life which is what she always wanted. Her body language speaks for itself, she is the dominant partner in this relationship .

The Times article is written by Hilary Rose. A woman doing a take down piece on another woman. Click bait. Pisses me off.

Forgive me for not reading the whole thread, I read the first few posts over the weekend and thought I'd rather be gardening / sticking hot needles in my eyes than waste my time on yet another Gransnet hate piece on MM. However I'm in the office today and on my coffee break, so that's my tuppence worth. Women slagging off other women.

Indeed!

I find it somewhat ironic that some of those who are incensed at Meghan for telling lies (and, she appears to have done so, in fairness) are sometimes the same individuals who are supportive of Boris Johnson, who has also been caught out doing something similar. And are eager to dismiss the evidence and criticism as "bashing" and a "hate-fest".

I had to re-read your post to check I had read it properly - was this said tongue in cheek? I’m at a loss as to where and when she has been bullied. Only yesterday she gave another ‘poor me’ interview on US tv claiming all sorts of unfounded nonsense about privacy etc. They left the UK for a private life yet still court the media. She needs to reign it in and stop harbouring the dislike she has for the Royal Family.

Exactly!

*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 thought exactly that

Publications around the world have reacted to Meghan Markle's latest bombshell interview, with one American publication dubbing her the 'Petulant Princess'.

Others in Germany suggested the Duchess of Sussex was overshadowing the 25th anniversary of the death of Prince Harry's mother Princess Diana tomorrow.

GrannySeaside51. Since they left the UK they have done all they can to court media attention, Megsie can't live without it.

Thank you for the link Boz. most enlightening, confirmed what I think about Megsie

This platform on Gransnet is very much like the reader comments section of the NYTimes (newspaper) in America. It gives readers a chance to express their views. I find all this so interesting - what others are thinking on given topics, editorials, articles. As long as you keep it respectful and no vile swearing, I find it revelatory to find out what your pulse is.
Frankly, re the Royals… I’m fascinated and yet puzzled over this deep controversy that grips your country. I haven’t made up my mind yet.
Cheers to you!

*About the fire:*
Meghan has stated that following the fire in Archie's room they were expected to leave their baby son and attend an event which they bravely did out of a sense of royal duty.
As Lexisgranny says, there was no fire and Archie wasn't even in the room at the time. Another instance of Meghan telling lies!

Chestnut, Meagain lies constantly. Even the Archbishop had to clarify the lies she told on Oprah. She is an attention seeker with an over inflated ego. Hapless made a terrible choice with her. She wanted to be top dog and when she realised that was not going to happen she started stirring up trouble and making up stories to get attention.

Who cares??? Not me.

Surely you need to read the article so you can properly judge for yourself.
I’m by no way a Royal fan, but the disrespectful behaviour of MnH is outstandingly off

I read an article about the Duchess of Kent recently, who quietly resigned from public duties years ago. She has done charitable work every since. No fuss, no publicity, no self-congratulation, no popping up with another story every few months.

She's just an attention-seeker and I have no time for her now, though I expected her to be fine initially.
She's not a first rater in any respect - but wants to be, hence the appearances on awful chatshows, the TV appearances and rest of the self-publicity. Just another lower grade wannabe celebrity I'm afraid.
I feel sad that her position within the royal family did not provide enough celebrity to satisfy her cravings, but most of all I feel sorry for her husband. I'm not sure he was expecting to be torn from the life he know.

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.

I can do the Paddington Bear stare as well as anyone.

However, I did wonder what Meghan is trying to prove and for whom the mean look is intended.

It's just as posed as a photograph of a happy smile.
Photographers are clever.

They are better off away from the Nonce uncle surely, it was bad enough the Royals calling their son names. The Royals are a toxic bunch. Sadly there are so many parasites living off of them in Government and Media circles that we will never get rid of them, short of a revolution and the British have proved they have no stomach for that.

Oh for goodness sake, none of us know the real back stories of this couple, it doesn’t matter what do, they’ll be wrong. Anyone remember dear Diana “courting publicity” ? Speaking in an interview with Bashir, collaborating with Morton ?

I think Harry is damaged and Meghan us an actress and they have to support themselves somehow and gossip sells !

They wanted privacy but actively court intervies and publicity. She has peddled proven lies, and cannot be taken seriously. Ultimately it will be Harry who suffers most

I was appalled by the way Diana was treated. She was very young and don't think she coped well. So have tried to be sympathetic to Meghan and Harry. If they want to live a life away from royal duties, good luck to them. But don't go on Oprah and air your dirty linen, no matter how aggrieved you feel. That's not the way to stay out of the news. They must have realised they were courting huge attention on themselves. So not much sympathy now.

This was the tour in South Africa, not Australia.

Glorianny She'd done a lot of work in Africa.

I didn't know she had. What work has she done there? I'm interested.

Predates her dating Prince Harry (in July 2016).

I am not a fan of Meghan Markle. IMHO, she is not a nice person. She started a smear campaign against the Royal Family and will tell all sorts of lies to tarnish their reputation.
So very glad that my mixed race daughter is not like her.
