King Charles coronation

Strange that she chose to wear black for the Oprah interview 😉

How any man with daughters of his own can talk about a woman in such terms leaves me speechless. It certainly says more about him than it does her

They must be able to compartmentalise their brains, like Andeew too.

JC's daughter is disgusted with him, apparently.
I'd be telling him to pull his head in if he were in any way related to me.

paddyann54 Youd think mature women knew better but out they come time after time spewing bile and hatred ...all against someone they dont know
Bit extreme there! I haven't noticed anyone spewing bile and hatred. If it's time after time then there should be plenty of examples, so can you quote a few.

I think it's meant to be irony, Chestnut 😂

^But - yes, why worry about the real news when we've got this juicy bone to chew on.^
Strange that, my puppy only chewed on material with Meghan in it! Remember that library book I had to cough up £16.99 for? Still avaliable, postage free. (Joke!)

I know you are attempting to introduce a 'lighter' note to all this heavy stuff - and I'm not averse to a bit of jocularity, but when you get men - like Clarkson and Piers Morgan, both quite high-profile figures - ranting and spewing hate towards a woman who, for all her faults, can't really have had that much effect on their lives - it is, to say the least, quite depressing.
There are, it seems, enough keyboard-warriors out there poised and ready to make threats of violence, rape and death towards people they've taken a dislike towards. And this kind of rhetoric just plays along with them and encourages them in their warped little projects.
Forget Meghan, online bullying and public vilification of people can have and has had disastrous consequences for some. I think it's a vile trend, dangerous and worrying, and I just cannot laugh it off.
I have to conclude that Jeremy Clarkson is slightly unhinged - no normal man could suggest that Markle is worthy of more hatred than Rose West - a woman who 'assisted' her husband in the torture, rape and murder of children. And that's ignoring the fact he roped Nicola Sturgeon into the same category as West. However, he does have his fans, some of whom I'm sure will be delighted with his ravings.
Anyway, I'm out of here now. This topic is not about the coronation of Charles as the heading suggested, it was a 'novel' way to get another thread going about M&H, and it's all-done-chewed-over-good-'n-proper.

But - yes, why worry about the real news when we've got this juicy bone to chew on.

Just looked up the date because we are going away for a few weeks in May and so glad we will be home then. I love looking at those British spectaculars, they do it so well. I don’t care whether those 2 go or not, they will not be the focus anyway. I really am not clear why they command so much attention there mustn’t be much news these days.

Oh, there's plenty of news - but Meghan 'n Harry create a good distraction away from it.

Here's the view of a popular media 'icon' - popular with the 'lads' of both sexes... Jeremy Clarkson.

Jeremy Clarkson has issued a foul rant about Meghan Markle, insisting that he "hates her on a cellular level" and wants her to be "paraded naked through the streets".

The television presenter said that he "dreams of people throwing lumps of excrement at her" in the insensitive spew of hatred towards Meghan - who he has never met.

I can see why he has invited them. However it will detract from the Coronation. . Charles may be open to dismissing all the bad behaviour and betrayal but there will be a lot of people that don't. How they could even consider coming I don't know but it would continue the revenue from Netflix if they do, because they certainly don't want to be forgotten. They say and do dreadful things, publicly ask for an apology, it's turned into a pantomime. No wonder there's problems burying your head in the sand hoping it will all melt away.

Really? I don't see it as sarcasm, but a bit of fun sometimes lacking on GN ! Infact a poster was at pains to say ALL the comments on here have not the slightest affect on Meghan anyway. And besides I revel in fashion. 👗

Joseanne why don't you cut the sarcasm then!

Do you really think my comment was for real vegansrock? Methinks certain lesser topics on GN need a lighter approach sometimes!
Anyway, I'm heading to Bath now for a few days where there's a Museum of Fashion, so I'll look out for some tips for posh frocks.

Let’s open a book on what colour Megz will wear to the coronation. sigh…..Let’s be surprised when all the other royals wear purple or whatever. Megz is right about one thing - she has been the object of online hatred and abuse.

In the Netflix series, (sorry to keep giving examples), Meghan said she went rogue and chose the brightest coloured fabrics for her final week of engagements (because it wasn't really allowed to upstage the Queen!) I think she will wear orange for the Coronation.

If Meghan and Harry dislike the royal family so much, why would they want to attend the coronation?
If I don’t like someone, I don’t go to their party.

... maybe they don't want to attend?

Or maybe they do. Or think they should. Perhaps he does and she doesn't. Or even he doesn't and she thinks he should...

I'm just adding my penny's worth to all the speculation.

You know, that's partially why I come here. For the clever adult conversations and the well-thought-out criticisms.

At least there's no schoolgirl-level personal insults. That would be so awful.

Hahahaha, you are very good value for money volver.

Camilla was desperately in love with Andrew ParkerBowles, not Charles. HE was the one she really wanted to marry and she did.

We only know what we're fed by a very biased and agenda driven media.

Men being afraid of Meghan Markle is wide of the mark, she’s no different to any other strong woman, if they don’t like what’s said they laugh and walk away. Men think that Harry was stupid to be trapped by her and deserves everything he got.

Didn't Mary Beard take one of her trolls out for coffee? Wrote him a reference as well. I should Google to check but I have lazyitis this evening.

As for H&M and Coronation. I'm sure they will get an invite. But I think they may well cite another engagement. Nobody will want any booing on the big day.

the French had it right a long time ago

You said that before, paddyanne and I said that the guillotine was a bit extreme.

Anyway, we tried it first, a while before the French did but weren't keen and reversed the decision.

I dont understand any of itDickens especially the bile from women on this site.Youd think mature women knew better but out they come time after time spewing bile and hatred ...all against someone they dont know and a man who they somehow believe is part owned by them ...like a favourite lapdog that turned on them?
All in the name of a family who doesn't even know they exist and cares even less .Afamily who have always put themselves above everyone else in the mistaken belief they are in their positions by gods will .Now thats just bonkers in the 21st century and all the women on here are backing them ensuring the entitled way they live their lives .
Its long past time monarchy and all the hangers on were sacked ...the French had it right a long time ago

^There was a discussion on a social media platform recently where the posters - strangely, all men - were wishing all kinds of ill towards her, some of it quite violent. Fortunately, I doubt the couple delve into these platforms, so will not be aware of the extent of some of the hatred. Who knew the activities of an ex-royal - even the black sheep of the family, could inspire such loathing. They have little to no effect on most people's lives, I just don't get it.^

I'm very obviously not condoning it but it's nothing new or special for H&M. Look at all the hatred Mary Beard received including threats of rape and torture.... and JK Rowling... amongst others. There are keyboard warriors everywhere.

There are keyboard warriors everywhere.

A woman being critical of another woman is one thing, but the threats of rape, torture and death aimed at women like Mary Beard is in a different category altogether.

I'm assuming they came from men. But who knows?

Mary Beard was quite controversial - a woman with a fierce intellect which some men find so intimidating that it brings them out in a rage which they can only quell by becoming violent, either physically or verbally. She's a strong woman, thank goodness, but it must have been alarming just the same.

But Meghan Markle - what threat is she to any man? Regardless of the mistakes she's made, why are they so enraged about her? Maybe it's to do with Harry having been "Jack The Lad" and some bitch of a woman has come along and tamed him, so to speak.

I can understand the criticism, but the extent of the hatred - even from some women - is baffling.
