Meghan Markle Faced 'Disgusting and Very Real' Threats in the U.K., Former Counterterrorism Head Says

Interesting Mandana Dayani has stepped down from her role running Archewell, by mutual consent, after 18 months. She won’t be replaced as the Sussexes take full lead of the company.

A missed opportunity for volver

The Sussexes have been caught out fabricating events yet again.

One of the shots showing the press pack hounding them is actually taken from a Harry Potter Premiere, before they even met.

I can't be bothered watching the trailer. What exactly has been fabricated?

volver

I expect they sat down with the video editors and trailer-makers from Netflix and said something like:

^We've been trawling Alamy and here's a picture of lots of paparazzi for you to include in the trailer. I know that the subjects of a documentary don't get involved in creating the adverts for it normally but we'd like to do it just to upset some Grans on a website in the UK.^

The critiques of anything to do with M&H in the media on GN could put any media studies students to shame. The minutiae that is picked and pulled apart is just sad really. I'd say it's sad because it's people we've never met, but it'd be just as sad if it was people we knew in the flesh.

You ever made an advert Joseanne?

Guess not.

(A storyboard is something else entirely.)

The meticulously choreographed storyboard images in that trailer must surely have been given the once over or even been chosen by the protagonists. How embarrassing!
Nothing about them upsets me personally, it is all rather tiresome.

No, I just find it funny that a millisecond image in a trailer for a documentary about their lives is held up as them "telling lies" again. They don't make the trailers. 🤣

It's just an example of the way that the press look for ways of demonising them. It actually says in the article from that bastion of truth the Daily Mail: Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun: 'I don’t imagine Harry would have realised, but Netflix have been careless here....

But blame Harry and Meghan. They lie. They lie!!!

Are you saying that H & M don't know what's in this documentary volver, that they haven't seen it and are innocent victims of a Netflix lie, rather than having been caught out yet again, of fabricating 'their truth'?

Come on volver you have always been a stickler for facts and truths, or are you so much enthralled by the Sussexes that they can do no wrong in your eyes?

I've just seen that GrannyGravy and it's another example of fabrication to suit their agenda but as far as Meghan's family is concerned as I posted yesterday, I've never seen any suggestion that she was abused or traumatised by her family in anyway.

Estrangement happens for a variety of reasons and unless anyone's suggesting that some of the 'disgusting and very real threats' received came from Meghan's family, I don't see the relevance to this thread.

Some people behave abusively in all their relationships. Fortunately, they’re the minority. Best avoided and yes, best to protect children from them.

Allsorts, you clearly believe Meghan’s truth isn’t yours. That’s ok but please, don’t feel you have the right or the need to criticise others who don’t share your truth

I'm always on the side of the children

Allsorts

Violet, your post 03December, @22.00 hrs, is the post I was responding to.
As we have all seen, Megans truth isnt actually what happened,
You believe the version you choose though.

I believe what I see people actually say, I believe how I see them behave and I believe the law when they are given a restraining order

It doesn't take much research to listen to Megan's father and sister rant and I am pretty sure her brother was charged with domestic violence

I don't think children need those sorts of people in their lives and would be harmed by them

He sounds as if he's despairing to the point where his behaviour is irrational and self-destructive.

Mmm, I had a restraining order against someone once because his behaviour was irrational but I don't think it was self destructive on the part of that person. It was because they were a threat to me. Had anybody had suggested it was because he was despairing that he was acting in the way he was, I would have had a few choice words to say!

^and now has a restraining order against a journalist for threatening to kill him^
😲 well, I didn't know that.

Did you just insinuate his having a restraining order for threatening to kill someone is Meghans fault? Because she cut him off he had to threaten to kill someone?

I'm going to bed because I don't have a single thing to say that isn't sarcastic

I would categorise some of her family as toxic

You want to say that is me projecting my feelings... as ridiculous as that sounds

Sure, go for it

I have feelings about all sorts of things

Shall we all never discuss anything we have personally experienced?

Personally I think people discuss all sorts of things and if I were to accuse someone else in discussion of projecting their feelings, I'd be being a bitch because there is absolutely no way I could possibly know that was the case

Not against the journalist. The ROnis against Thomas Markle.

Once again, it is becoming the personal journey of one poster.

We're talking generally here, no-one knows what goes on in other families.

You are correct. So anyone who says Meghan is horrible for cutting her father and sister off should mind their own business.

No one knows what happens in another family.

Except. In this case, we know that her father staged/sold photos to the very tabloids that were making her life miserable, has continued to do interviews and in fact stated he would continue to do interviews until she talked to him, and now has a restraining order against a journalist for threatening to kill him.

Could you imagine what he would have done if he did have access to the children?

How has this thread meandered from a revelation that Meghan and Harry received vile, real and frightening threats, to the inference that Meghan's family is toxic and abusive?
Is that a known fact or an interpretation of what you think are the facts from tittle-tattle in the media?
