I am disgusted by the announcement that these two have sacked 15 British members of staff. What are they thinking?
I ask myself 'how would I feel if I'd upped sticks and gone to another country out of loyalty to my employer, only for them to get rid of me 3 months later.
I would be heartbroken and furious.

The photos of Meghan were taken by her own photographer and issued from their Instagram page, carefully timed to upstage Camilla.

Apparently she had agreed not to clash with Camilla's official engagement which had been planned for months.

PAH!

I love green, have always worn lots of green and fairies live in the bottom of my garden

I hope in a years' time when their decision is reviewed that they don't come back IMO it was a mistake to agree to this. They should have been told that once they leave, that's it, they're out for good.

This country welcomed Megan with joy in our hearts and she threw it back in our faces. Now I just want them gone. They are patronising and selfish.
They could have done so much good but have chosen to follow the path of self aggrandisement.
Now we need to gather up and nurture William and Kate who must be feeling the strain. Thankfully Kate has a supportive family behind her.

Let’s face it. Pictures of Meghan will sell a lot more copies and garner much more interest than ones of Camilla, however worthy the subject she is speaking about.
Do we ever read how many items of Camilla’s clothes have sold out after an event? No. Whereas the blue Victoria Beckham dress M wore the other night is unavailable now I believe.

Smileless2012 Sat 07-Mar-20 11:03:06

Which is a sad reflection on our society isn't it, that there's more interest in what M wears than the issue of domestic abuse. Could explain why M's popular with some I suppose.

Yes, shallow is the word that comes to mind Smileless2012

I refuse to look at pictures or articles about Megan. I swerved their wedding too. If everyone did that they'd soon get the message.

It would only upstage Camilla if the pictures are printed , people gawp at them and then gossip about them. I heard Camilla's speech on the radio it was ok. She looked ok and was wearing her favourite old boots. Great.

vegansrock Sat 07-Mar-20 11:39:22

It want just Meghan posing for photographs was it? Harry was in the picture too. Bitchfest continues.

Namsnanny Sat 07-Mar-20 11:47:09

I'm glad you mentioned Princess Anne's ride on the tube.
Minimal fuss, noted in the press.but no fanfare.

Now THAT's how to lower your press profile ......Harry take note!

vegansrock you are mistaken, Megan was on her own attending a private visit to the National Theatre, not very
private was it ? She released photographs of herself

Jabberwok Sat 07-Mar-20 12:12:00

Glamour, money and tinsel town is more important than domestic abuse?! Well, there you go, how sad is that! Humiliation is clearly this horrible woman's middle name especially where RF are concerned. To think both they and we welcomed her unconditionally with open arms only to realise later that from day one it was all just one big publicity stunt to further her own agenda! Ever been had?! This latest trick should be the last straw, HM should strip them of their titles, PC should withdraw his 2 million quid. and security should be up to them. Why on earth should we have to pay for these two low lifes when they treat us and the RF with barely concealed contempt?!

Jabberwok Sat 07-Mar-20 12:15:28

Apparently she had agreed not to release any photos at this particular time as had the rest of the RF! A misunderstanding?! I don't think so!!!

It seems to me that she never stops acting, and I am sorry to admit that as I liked her at first, and was pleased to see H so happy.

Jabberwok Sat 07-Mar-20 12:44:26

So am I, with good reason!! Why's the Queen putting up with these two horrors? She needs to shove them onto a plane this very day, and tell them to shove off and never come back!

vegansrock Sat 07-Mar-20 12:46:26

Well the press publish the pics as they know people will gawp at them and bitch about her smile/ clothes/ face / thoughts etc. Plenty of examples on here. They wouldn’t print them if the public didn’t take note.

Jabberwok Sat 07-Mar-20 12:48:22

I did too Sparklefizz! I think that's why I now feel so angry and deeply disappointed by these two! How dare they accuse us ALL of being toxic and racist! Its not true and well they know it!

Buttonjugs Sat 07-Mar-20 12:52:41

@merlotgran I had heard of Caroline Flack long before Love Island, she was involved in a lot of shows before that (which I didn’t watch by the way). It seems to me that the hate towards Meghan is hugely disproportionate. I don’t think they planned to move abroad from day one, I believe that the press criticism and online hate since Archie was born have driven them to this. Harry deserves to have a life of his own choosing. He didn’t ask to be a royal and he’s putting his family first. I wish them every happiness.

Fenton95 Sat 07-Mar-20 12:53:48

Blimey, what a nasty bunch of comments. How sad to have such hatred for someone you don't even know.

Summerlove Sat 07-Mar-20 13:01:23

The Queen was young and travel was part of her role, she did put duty first.

You mean just like Meghan has this week?

Harry never complained about press coverage before he met Megan. So many happy photos of him at Sentebale or with military activities.

I’m sure he’s complained before, certainly after his nazi costume and getting naked in Vegas?

Perhaps he was just happy at sentebale and doing military work- the press was secondary. It’s the press who stopped his military career after all by reporting where he was.

but then poor old Harry is clearly under the rule of thumb, does as he is told, and has no say in anything

Poor stupid Harry is it? Too dumb to do anything on his own? Can’t imagine why he’s walking away when people who “adore” him and have a “soft spot” for him think he’s a moron

Calendargirl Sat 07-Mar-20 13:02:22

I have never watched Suits, Meghan’s former show, but my sister started watching it after she and Harry got together. She said that the way Meghan looked at, and behaved with, the chap who was her love interest in the show, was exactly how she looked at and behaved with Harry.
I suppose real life is just another role really.
