we had Harry all over the "news" earlier now his wife has joined in with the whinging about how hard their life is!! Honestly ..they should have to live the lives of millions in this country and then they would know how HARD life can get .Why is it NEWS anyway? If its so hard they can always walk away .

That must have been so hard for your daughter.
I am glad she was able to grieve and then talk to you. it is so hard when a child's parent dies because they are so young to deal with all the implications.

Seems that a bit of human understanding and empathy wouldn't go amiss. Never read any more judgemental opinions. Just cruel.

I know she is really asking for it.......

Jenifer Eccles, I agree and I really wish they would get a good PR advisor.

True, grief and signs of grief are not an illness. These are the actions of a healthy brain-mind. Harry will be interested in emotional trauma among soldiers, so he will be aware of the biological and evolutionary causes of grief, and how not to medicalise the countless people who have had bad things happen to them.

If Harry had been this flaky years ago the army would never have sent him to Afghanistan. He managed his grief like his brother and countless other young men who had lost a parent at an early age.

Then along came Meghan....

Merlotgran
Your last sentence sums up this situation perfectly.
Then along came Megan perfect!!

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 14:43:45

Boodymum67, Well said But sadly
There is no stopping them, they have taken against Meghan,
& if she behaved as they want/ think she should , she would be criticised for that too. ..... So I guess in some way Meghan is contributing to society, allowing some to spend their days being judge & jury, knowing that the target is not in a position to do anything about it. ..... and should it all become too much for MM , they will justify it by saying they always knew she couldn’t cut the muster. To borrow some words from Capt Mannering ,(She’s) Doomed, doomed I say.

It was Private Frazer who said that, Bridgeit. Not Captain Mainwaring.

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 14:48:16

Ahh yes , ohh dear I am getting old?

Well, I've just watched the Africa documentary. It was alright. I can see how Harry would get emotional going over the same ground his mother covered before him. I think the rumours of his mental ill health are greatly exaggerated.

Feel sorry for Meghan. Can't be easy having your family circumstances put forward all the time, just to entertain the masses, and the newspapers to make money out of.

They are just a young couple. Only time will tell how things work out for them. They have the love necessary to keep them together. I think they'll be alright. Hope so.

Think they should stay away from ITV in future though.

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 14:54:15

Shame there are people always ready to bitch about them. I can't understand that. Almost tempted to say get a life.

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 14:55:44

??Gonegirl, well said

Nanny41 Mon 21-Oct-19 14:57:27

Once an actress always an actress!

KALISSY Mon 21-Oct-19 14:57:51

There is something weird about the two of them.Can't quite out my finger on it, but they don't 'read' true. I am quite disgusted by the ones who are dripping in diamonds and gold tell us how hard life is. Wot? does the sparkle of the lights in the diamonds hurt your eyes? Totally fed up of their patronising attitudes and their fawning over each other and the baby in public. She is defo playing to the crowd, and him . He has also joined in, more fool us for putting up with it !

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 15:00:18

What would you like KALISSY? Stoning. hmm

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 15:00:42

Don't answer that.

specki4eyes Mon 21-Oct-19 15:03:41

For goodness sake why don't they give all the money they've received from struggling British taxpayers to the homeless or poor folk trying to exist on zero hour contracts and get the hell out of the country. I'm sick to death of the dysfunctional RF. Shit happens to all of us..get over it or get out.

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 15:05:20

But many people love it & seeing them KALLISY, folks are not forced into also , journalists, photographers have the opportunity to make money from them , sooo it’s not just a One way street

Bridgeit Mon 21-Oct-19 15:06:44

speckifoureyes, would you not care about, those who would loose their jobs ?

pinkquartz Mon 21-Oct-19 15:10:39

I wouldn't call them a young couple. Both are late 30's!!

Meghan is playing to her audience. She is an actress, it is what she does.

They have no idea of real life for most of that is a fact.
She may well be out of her depth but so have I been for most of my life so why should I feel for her? She is not worrying about paying the rent/ bills/ new coat for DC etc
Yet she wants our sympathy ...no chance

She could have come across like a normal person and wanted to know normal people but she doesn't
it is all about jewels, expensive dresses and celeb friends.
What is there to like?

her sister warned and was mocked and jeered at . Surely that meant people were giving Meghan a chance?
I hope she does go back to USA and not with us paying for everything eg security for ever.

MissAdventure Mon 21-Oct-19 15:12:00

Shouldn't we all feel compassion for people who age out of their depth, whatever their circumstances?

pinkquartz Mon 21-Oct-19 15:12:13

It is very difficult to not see her at the moment. SHe is in my face.
Even the Guardian has her Orphan Annie photo expression in it shock

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 15:12:16

Well, a couple starting out on married life then.

Ok? hmm

Gonegirl Mon 21-Oct-19 15:14:02

I don't think she wants our sympathy. (Perhaps she wants us to leave her alone) She definitely wants justice. Good for her.
