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 .

I agree SirChengin. They need to find much better PR representation.

pinkquartz Sun 20-Oct-19 16:41:41

They really take the biscuit....she says she is just existing and he thinks the press killed his mother.
Both are deluded and making each other worse.....they are not good for each other.
They are telling themselves how hard their lives are while the majority of us have to get through days that would clearly finish this pair of nincompoops off.

I really do hope they leave the UK but not taking our moeny with them.

Daisymae Sun 20-Oct-19 16:57:16

Merlotgran, that's just gossip and speculation. No one can possibly know what happened.

notanan2 Sun 20-Oct-19 17:20:51

I dont think they would accept PR/Advice TBH.

Essentially they want to be loved by people they hate.
How can this end well?

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-19 17:29:37

I cannot believe this woman has said they are "just existing and not living." I have lost all patience and sympathy. I have seen the trailers but won't be watching the programme as she makes me too annoyed.

A friend's husband was in the Army with Harry and says he doesn't recognise the man he is now. It's sad.

merlotgran Sun 20-Oct-19 17:33:46

Daisymae, Are you suggesting that Tom Bradby who interviewed them and wrote the article for the Sunday Times is talking bo***cks?

Destin Sun 20-Oct-19 17:34:50

Some if not most of these comments here seem to be so overly critical, targeted and hurtful. Why are so many Brits always eager to be spiteful regardless of race, rank or circumstances.

SirChenjin Sun 20-Oct-19 17:43:33

Only when it’s deserved.

annep1 Sun 20-Oct-19 17:43:55

I don't agree Destin. I think GNetters are generally fair to/supportive of members of the RF.

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 17:47:56

Not race again

merlotgran Sun 20-Oct-19 17:54:31

I might be critical of H&M now but I certainly wasn't when they first married. It was obvious how much in love they were and I liked her style and attitude.

It didn't take long for my opinion to change though and I don't think I was the only one disappointed by the reports which might not all have been true but obviously some of them were.

I admire the Queen and the rest of the hard working member of the royal family.

notanan2 Sun 20-Oct-19 17:58:36

M was well liked initially but her popularity has deminished

Unless she has got more black since her wedding, how is her decreasing poularity about race?

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 18:01:09

I didn’t warm to Megan , walking down the aisle alone was for me a sign of things to come.

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-19 18:07:50

I agree with merlot. I thought she was lovely at first, although I wasn't keen on the "hitting the ground running" remark.

I felt sorry for her over her father, thought she was plucky to walk down the aisle alone ... think I was wrong now and giving her too much benefit of the doubt.

Race has nothing to do with it.

Iam64 Sun 20-Oct-19 18:17:57

Nothing to do with Meghan but all the women I know who married in their 30's (or 50's and 60's), walked down the aisle themselves.
Didn't Charles step in to walk Meghan down the aisle?

Bridgeit Sun 20-Oct-19 18:18:45

So if you think about , it isn’t actually MM that has changed, it is we who credited her with all sorts of attributions from the glimpses & newspaper articles etc that are changing, we are now beginning to see & hear & observe the real MM & some are not liking the shift from the original perception that they had to the reality of what is.

notanan2 Sun 20-Oct-19 18:26:08

Hit the ground running = I dont need to learn the ropes or aclimatise to British culture because I know better!

I think we have all known colleagues like this, that join the team as a junior with little experience but dont want to learn from anyone and are all keen to reinvent the wheel without taking time to understand how things work in the first place.

When this doesnt work out it doesnt take long before they throw a tantrum/flounce rather than admit that they have a lot to learn!

Sparklefizz Sun 20-Oct-19 18:35:54

Exactly notanan

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 18:38:57

Megan walked down the centre aisle alone, Charles met her at the entrance to the chancery , she also walked up the steps of the Chapel on her own.

One very confident woman

I think things have gone downhill sadly since that glorious wedding day. Personally, I think it took guts to walk alone even part of the way in the chapel in front of the eyes of the world, whether or not you’re an actress.
When that opera singer started to sing and Meghan set out with the sunlight dappled through the building, it was magical.
Regretfully, the magic has disappeared.

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 20:46:24

Took guts ? Or oodles of self confidence? In my opinion she wanted the star spot and got it.

Sorry Megan supporters but I do not trust her. And no, I do not hate her.

Calendargirl Sun 20-Oct-19 20:53:50

Anniebach

I suppose being the bride, she was the star spot, and yes, a confident one.
I’m not a Meghan supporter, just feel sad that things have gone downhill after such a lovely wedding day.
Off now to watch this H and M programme!

Anniebach Sun 20-Oct-19 20:56:59

It is sad Calendargirl

petra Sun 20-Oct-19 21:05:18

I'm not one those who 'took' to Megan when she first appeared.
I think it was on this forum that I used the word false
She thought that she could maintain the 'act' but I'm afraid she's come unstuck.
I think Harry knows the situation he's in. But how does he get out of it?

trisher Sun 20-Oct-19 21:06:29

It's no secret that I don't like the RF and I'd get rid of the lot of them. But really the absolute bile and disgusting hatred on this thread astonishes me. I almost feel sorry for a couple of people who are simply not meeting the expectations that have been thrust upon them. And it's no good saying you don't hate someone when you say such negative things about them. I don't follow them, I don't care about them, I've no idea what they have said or done and all I can say is if you really are so offended by them, just stop reading the press stories or watching their programmes, nobody is making you do it.
