It looks as if Harry and Meghan really may have to make their own way in the world after all. Hopefully their new landlord will put his hand in his pocket if need be. He probably won’t miss the odd £billion.

I am surprised as I thought they would be given whatever they want to avoid any tell it as they see it documentaries.

Nexumi65 She hadn't been in touch with her father and step sister for years prior to meeting Harry. That was one of her step sister's gripes.

Jaycee5 Sun 19-Jan-20 14:21:41

SirChenjin It isn't her entire family. There are cousins who have spoken out in support and also don't keep in touch with her father and step father. She hasn't fallen out with her mother. Only her father and part of her step family who have all made money out of being nasty to her. Her step sister has another step family who will have nothing to do with her. You can't seriously be blaming her for her family.

Pantglas2 Sun 19-Jan-20 14:20:17

Nezumi65 - they weren’t toxic until she dropped them once she was dating Harry? She has a habit of distancing herself from folks no longer useful to her so who’s toxic?

Nezumi65

why do you hate Thomas Markle......at least he didn't come the the UK and take money off of us!

He only showed M's letter because she had already given her friends permission to do so.

So what if he was pissed...so what.
he is not money grabbing....he actually worked in a areal job...not the cushy type the RF usually call work.

suziewoozie Sun 19-Jan-20 14:18:57

Nga all the time - doesn’t everyone??

SirChenjin Sun 19-Jan-20 14:17:46

He doesn’t sound pissed - what are you talking about? He sounds like an older man who isn’t used to speaking to a camera to me.

It’s very unusual for an entire family to turn against one person within it - especially when the one person doesn’t appear to have many people from her past prepared to speak positively about her. Perhaps there’s a single factor in all of this.

Nezumi65 Sun 19-Jan-20 14:12:03

Do you curlywhirly? Meghan’s father seems a toxic money grubbing horror to me. As for her sister.... I don’t blame her for distancing herself (& any children) from that.

I mean look at him - he sounds completely pissed in this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-51166306/thomas-markle-meghan-and-harry-cheapening-royals

He talks to the press in exchange for money, he publishes private letters - why on earth would she want to have anything to do with him?

Ngaio1 Sun 19-Jan-20 13:27:26

suziewoozie - do you often write on bananas? If not, how do you know?

Urmstongran Sun 19-Jan-20 13:22:22

Told you I can be dim sooziewoozie! That went ‘whoosh’ right over my head. Apologies therefore from me!

I think you all on here are fighting between yourselves and not really acknowledging the original post.
Now the queen as spoken I wish them well whereever they end up.
This is just dribble.

Summerlove Sun 19-Jan-20 13:16:21

tickingbird I understand irony just fine, thank you.

Perhaps you should look It up in a dictionary if you’re going to be so nasty about other people and their views.

But, attempting to stand on a moral high ground about how nasty some posters are while being equally nasty about public figures is basically the gist of it.

You are welcome to have your views about a public couple, of course, but get off your high horse that you aren’t also being unkind in general. Just because they aren’t reading these posts doesn’t make it so you aren’t being unkind.

suziewoozie Sun 19-Jan-20 13:02:15

urm you’ve missed the point as well - it was a sardonic joke because of maddys post about new posters.

Madwoman11 Sun 19-Jan-20 13:00:38

Cant blame them for getting away from all the s.it that has happened, and still happening. Good luck to them I say.

Urmstongran Sun 19-Jan-20 12:49:06

Why the need to register under another (or multiple) name? Sorry to be dim but I don’t understand the reasoning! Stand tall by your ‘own’ comments surely?

Sheila11 Sun 19-Jan-20 12:33:35

I don’t think they’ve lost anything, I think they said they didn’t want it. The titles, the house etc. They said they didn’t want Archie to have a title at the outset. I think they’ve got what they wanted. Win win.

Curlywhirly Sun 19-Jan-20 12:20:06

Nezumi65 - well, as I have already stated, my criticism of Meghan is regarding her treatment of her family. We may all have members of our family that we don't get along with, that embarrass us, that we don't particularly like, but I wouldn't dream of cutting them out of my life (unless of course they were cruel or making me ill). I just think that Meghan should at least have gone to see her father.

sodapop Sun 19-Jan-20 12:18:41

At least we are providing interest for Sooziewoozie and diverting her from other threads

ananimous Sun 19-Jan-20 12:14:25

Can't imagine the queen writing on a banana under any circumstances...

Nezumi65 Sun 19-Jan-20 12:12:57

So what is the criticism about? Her crossing her legs? I don’t get it.

maddyone Sun 19-Jan-20 12:10:52

Suziewoozie

Hahaha, you really must must think I have nothing better to do gringrin
I couldn’t give a toss what you do with your time, and I certainly will not be reporting you or anyone else, so don’t worry.
I thought it curious that there are so many ‘new’ posters. You obviously have no interest in doing anything more useful with your time, judging by the number of your (and other yours) posts on all the H+M threads. You’re probably the most frequent poster grin

You have been spewing hatred and bile all day yesterday and now apparently today as well. Never mind, you carry on. You really must be an unhappy person.

Anyway, I’m off now to do something useful.

Curlywhirly Sun 19-Jan-20 12:07:48

Nezumi65 - have just read the link - however, as I have just said in my previous post, and contrary to the link, not ALL of the criticism IS about race, (some yes, but certainly not all) I for one didn't give her race (or her parents' race) a second thought.
