Apologies, Meghan again!

I think Harry retains his titles because of the Queen's love for him.
I'm not sure about Prince Charles but I can't see Prince William continuing to be so accommodating to his brother in years to come.

Like it or not, it's William and Catherine who have the global status and always will have.
Harry and Meghan could have been there, centre stage in partnership with them, but I can't see it happening now.

Thanks Dickens. I think that's how it works on GN. We all glean bits and pieces from various sources and then put it in the melting pot on here to discuss, but not obsessively.
Same for discussions on Boris, Brexit or covid which admittedly are more relevant than this silly couple. But there you go.

I cannot believe I forgot will do Megan any favours. She is suing the Daily Mail who in their defense could use her claim to have forgotten what is a vital part in her case against them.

I find the whole saga fascinating.
If ever there was a couple hellbent on their own destruction.........

Ok Dickens I hold my hands up to being sort of interested, as I am in many many things, particularly people. But I am not obsessed, neither do I devour the papers for news about H & M. For example it just happened to be a discussion on GN this morning alongside my making carrot soup, walking the dogs in the woods, visiting the post office and later teaching French for an hour and going out with the DGC and watching Strictly.
In fact most of the posters on this thread seem to me to have a wide knowledge of topics as they crop up on all sorts of informative and serious threads too. Maybe the M & H stuff is just light relief, I don't know.

I'm not specifically referring to gransnet commenters - which I should have specified.

I too am guilty - against better judgement - of reading far too many articles across the whole media spectrum... and that is basically my reference area - all the social media platforms like Facebook, etc.

I feel that the OP is simply having another stir of the M&H pot. Her choice - and I have commented when I could have remained silent.

I'm just wondering out loud why people appear to be so bothered by this couple. You have to admit, they are never out of the news, and that's because we (not you specifically) appear to be obsessed with her - and Harry.

I don’t buy magazines and the only newspapers I read are the local rag and The Times so I don’t read much about H and M. Most of it is on GN! My only interest in them arises from my deep disappointment about Harry’s behaviour since his marriage and his apparent disrespect for his country and the Royal Family.

Meghan is a cash cow for her family.

I should think TM will manage just fine if H & M fade into the background. However H & M would struggle without Daddy’s money and trading off their Royal connections.

TM spent a lottery win of $750,000, filed for bancruptcy and was living on the breadline in Mexico when H&M married. He made money from photos before the wedding. He has no other income. So how would he manage?

I don't usually comment on these threads but how sad for TM that his independently wealthy daughter would leave him living on the breadline, after he had paid for her exclusive private schooling. I expect there are faults on both sides but this does appear to be extremely uncaring.

I'm genuinely interested to know why people care so much about what this couple do and say.

Not a day goes by without the media throwing up yet another article about them. There was one the other day which basically just told us about a dress she was wearing - and it resulted in all the usual bile-fuelled comments about her.

I don't understand the obsession with M&H - their actions, activities, what they say... does it really impact people's lives to any extent? I've seen many commenters say that they wish they'd "just disappear" or that they are "fed-up reading about them", yet they devour the column inches. As long as we continue to do this, the media will continue to publish endless articles about them... they make good copy.

We have a choice - we could just stop consuming all the - sometimes trivial - stuff that the media churns out.

Apart from Doria, they are all a family who likes to put it out there for whatever reasons. The sad cost of it all is losing a father, daughter, sister, brother. The concern is that Harry is going that way too with his interviews and books which criticise and alienate the royal family. I think that maybe he has more to lose in the long run.

Diana was never princess Diana, not one who married a prince
is a princess , Camilla, Sarah, Sophia, the media refer to princess Diana it’s not correct.

The Queen mother wasn’t a princess

Camilla is princess of Wales but not princess Camilla

Perhaps his other daughter would bung him a few dollars from the sale of her up coming ‘tell all’ book?

No nanna there's nothing wrong with M it's the entire RF that's at fault.

Spot on nanna.

She’s (unfortunately) a princess by marriage. After her divorce Diana was Diana, Princess of Wales so I expect if H and M were to divorce (bring it on!) they’d cobble together some sort of title for her. Perhaps Princess Harry like Princess Michael?

She is showing her true colours. Pity, because at the wedding she seemed as though she would be good for that family. She actually couldn’t be worse.

I hope he makes some money too GSM, they're making enough frotm peddling their false truths and memory lapses aren't they.

I wish his dukedom would be confiscated too then she wont be able to push herself forward as a duchess.

My time working for the police was not wasted then Callistemon!

I know it's spelt wrong!

Anniebach

Horrid to Harry ? Is asking him to make contact with his father in law horrid ?

No it isn’t Annie indeed, it’s rather nice of them, but Meg says they ‘berated poor Harry.’
It’s her mission to make him a victim ( along with herself.)

Not even by marriage Anniebach?
It says Princess on Archie's birth certificate under Meghan.

She isn’t a princess, just as Diana wasn’t a princess or Sophia isn’t a princess

I hope he does make money from his interviews, indeed I expect he does. It’s refreshing to hear the other side of this unsavoury coin.
I doubt M will be charged with perjury as that would require proof that she deliberately made an untruthful statement or one she did not believe to be true. If the evidence were there I’d be the first to cheer. But I hope she loses the appeal and will have to repay the damages she was awarded.
I wish Harry’s dukedom would be confiscated but I suppose he will always be a prince and therefore she a princess so they will always be able to trade on that. She certainly knows how to behave like a princess.
