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 won’t be responding to anymore as I’m watching Andy Murray in the US Open. It’s a good match.

Just came back to this and genuinely horrified nobody else seems at all
Bothered by Heath comment this morning which was rude personal and xenophobic regardless of your opinion of Meghan. I’m very disillusioned

Treat it with the contempt it deserves.

The comment along with "get a life", "get over it", "grow up" - they are all from the same stable. Thoughtless, insensitive, boorish - purely intended to put you down.

... and then the mocking when you take the comment personally - as you were meant to do.

The poster waded in, rudely put down another member with a churlish and personal attack, then used the same uncouth rhetoric to ridicule you for challenging her.

... and is, of course, now "bored" by it all and is going to immediately depart to another site where such inconsiderate posting is - apparently - better tolerated!

As you say, if she only knew... some of us do Lucca, and her post speaks volumes. But not about you. So I hope no one reports it.

Glorianny It’s out there so take the time to look. She has consistently lied. Only the other day she claimed a South African actor from The Lion King told her the people took to the streets in celebration when she married Harry in the same way they did when Nelson Mandela was finally released after decades of imprisonment. Now that is definitely unsubstantiated!

There are quite a few you tube films of people at celebrations in SA for their wedding

Best ignored really, Lucca

I think the way they behave courting publicity and chasing money they deserve everything they get, and lose their titles, see who wants them then

I hardly think a few people watching a large screen in a pub constitutes dancing in the street
You linked to the Express article, perhaps you could link the YouTube videos,

The message has been deleted. I was horrified too but could tell that Heath would be unlikely to retract the statement so left it to Admin to decide whether it was xenophobic or not.

Lots of people here turned out for the Royal wedding and even more watched it on screen.
Lots of people enjoyed it tremendously around the world.

Showing one rather over-emotional woman dressed in her best watching on on a screen with a few others in SA is not proof of anything at all.
