Meghan's Speech

Well it had to happen didn’t it?

Couldn’t we all have put money on Ms. Markle jumping on this latest bandwagon ?

It was a party political broadcast dressed up to be an empathetic speech, but she gave herself away when she told the students that they would soon be able to vote.

Many actors and actresses use their stardom as a platform to speak out on topical issues.
Meghan didn’t find being a British Royal suited her (sorry for the pun),
but she is a good speaker, and that’s all I, personally, will judge her on. After all she is no longer bearing a Royal title , that is now history.

Oh sorry merlot I thought this was a thread about her speech....

Meghan, a woman of colour in her own words not mine, in the video she is so lit up by lights as to look white!

No problem Smileless2012! Tbh I probably wouldn't have noticed!!!??
If you say so trisher I'm sure you know best, you always seem to think you do!

Of course there is no racism on GN much like there is no sexism in gentlemen's clubs (which is an expression now used for strip clubs).

Sorry, Jabberwok I typed your name incorrectly

Why do you wonder ? What does it matter ?

Let’s be a little fair

I haven't criticised the content of her speech, Lucca I thought it was well put together but her bleating to Tom Bradby seems even more out of place now.

Quite right Jabberwork and she does those who are facing racial abuse a huge disservice by claiming she was on the receiving end of racial abuse in the UK when she wasn't.

I didn’t know she’d made a speech. Will look it up.

I am sure she was invited by her old school to make the speech, I do wonder who passed the video to the media, surely
not the school, they must know she could sue , unless done with. Her permission!

I didn’t mention racism

Oh for heaven's sake, its nothing to do with her race but everything to do with her appalling behaviour. I couldn't give a toss about the colour of skin and would feel the same whoever she was!

Still confused. Fact is she did marry into the RF.
However as an actress she may well have been invited by her old school to do a speech.
I’ve read her speech now, it was a perfectly decent speech and she related it to herself to the same extent that any alumnus would and relating to a topical issue.
Let’s be a little fair

Rubbish! trisher

My opinion would be the same whatever the colour of her skin.

Racism is alive and prospering on GN I see.

To say that she was driven out of he UK because of racism is so unfair and completely untrue, the press did not give her a hard time, (has to be a first!!) she needs to look at old film and she will see cheering crowds and adoring fans! I don't know how her husband puts up with her coniving lies and I hope she never comes near this country again!

Who gave the video to the media if it was to one school ?

She is no longer married to a Royal; they have both lost their royal status from the beginning of June.

I am guessing she has not written to schools and said - "Hey, look at me; I am married to a British royal; I can come to your school and make a speech.. Aren't I great!"

No but her agent probably did.

Merlot I’m confused ! You think it’s good she spoke up or you don’t ?

No need to be confused, Lucca. I think it's good that she spoke up but without the platform that the RF has provided I don't think anyone would be terribly interested.

Listening to her account of the LA riots when she was a child made me think her criticism of the UK after we gave her such a warm welcome (YES, we did!) was very unfair.

Sadly, there is racism everywhere, in all walks of life. Meghan has made it clear she prefers to be in America where it is far worse than in Britain.

Any criticism of Meghan is now deemed to be racist and that is unfair.

She was asked to give a talk at her old school, Presumably for graduation. I saw the clip and thought she did well, and is entitled to her views and opinions. I have not followed the Meghan/Harry saga so have no opinion on her, but can’t understand why she is so criticised.

She was invited to make a speech at the school - she did it - it was a good speech.

I am guessing she has not written to schools and said - "Hey, look at me; I am married to a British royal; I can come to your school and make a speech.. Aren't I great!"

I didn't listen to her, muted the sound on the tv until it was over.
