    Pure nonsense. That family has the very best of health care money can buy and that was available to her for sure. Many women feel low after a baby arrives and it's well understood and the best of help would be available to her. It doesn't make any sense to withdraw it.

    They took away her passport and keys wouldn't allow her to leave . Might've hoped she actually did kill herself I don't know why either they told it could damage the institution . Thats why Harry has left with Meghan due to the lack of support .

    Surprised the comments on here are quite so anti-Meghan. Despite myself, I'm getting totally sucked into all this drama today :pac:

    Overall, I think they are mostly well-intentioned, quite naive (particularly Meghan, if she hadn't a clue what she was signing up to) and now mildly annoying due to complete overexposure. And they take themselves so damn seriously.

    But the monarchy is a toxic, outdated, cruel and cold institution. And the British media is just horrific in its relentless pushing of the class system on a blinkered and complicit public. They think she's trash, doesn't know her place, they don't like that she has a mind of her own. I think it's very important that they're shining a light on both of these institutions, and forcing the British public to take a long, hard look at themselves (not that they ever do- a humble nation they are not). She had thoughts of suicide. How can anyone not question the processes that led to her feeling that way? It's extremely sad and upsetting.

    Looking at Piers Morgan almost spit into the camera with hatred for her this morning, on ITV, a platform he is allowed to use to spew his obsessive and creepy bile about her every day, was disturbing. The man seems unhinged and comes off as a total incel, who is outraged that she didn't want to be BFFs with him. I wonder what his wife thinks about his Meghan derangement syndrome. He was sending out dozens more tweets about her today of course, all hate-filled and so, so bizarre. It's like a mania at this stage. It's the behaviour of someone who should be issued a restraining order for harassment and stalking, not that of a white, middle-aged male establishment figure who is paid millions every year to push his agenda of hatred. And he tapped a dead girl's voicemail. The man is pure scum. Imagine having dozens of him and his ilk writing nasty, spiteful and untrue stories about you and your family members, day in, day out.

    But I digress. I haven't seen the interview, so hopefully the full context makes him seem a bit less tone-deaf, but Harry saying he's been "cut off financially" when he's a 36 year old man who inherited £30m from his mother, and lives in a huge mansion in Montecito with a full staff, is pathetic tbh. 125,000 dead in his home country from coronavirus, and literally millions unemployed. He'd seriously want to get rid of that chip on his shoulder and get in touch with what reality is like for most humans, and fast. He chose to leave, what did he think would happen??

    So yeah, mixed feelings on it all. I wonder if it's worth him torching his relationship with his family. Maybe he can't stand any of them anymore, and feels it's no great loss at this point, who knows.

    So yeah I'm probably (most likely) gonna watch it :pac::pac::pac:

    So how on earth did this victim travel to so many countries without a passport!?

    I see so many respected people praising Oprah for being such an amazing interviewer, to me that is complete bull

    At the end of the day this was a PR campaign to raise their profile in the US with their Netflix show in the pipeline.

    To play the race card in an American interview was perfect for them, even without any evidence as no one can question it now or else they will be called a racist by US society.

    If they wanted this peaceful life they keep saying they wanted, why are they living in a mansion in LA and signing deals with Netflix etc? They are like most people in the spot light , they cant get enough of it and maybe some of what they said is true but I can imagine a lot of the "headline" stuff is very exagerrated

    you'd wonder if the entire royal family was some kind of long running scripted soap opera to placate the masses.

    I wonder do the royals realise it's the soap opera stuff that keeps them in power. If they achieved their holy grail of being a ribbon cutting scandal free bunch of public representatives, people would switch off and look for their tax money back. The crown series has secured their popularity for another generation at least.

    Americans really hate the Royal Family. I’ve always felt that they wanted it to crash and burn.

    Well I don’t know if they believe everything she said but from the bits I’ve seen in regards to social media there’s certainly a willingness to not look at the few contradictions in some of the things they said.

    Do Americans hate the British royal family ? I don’t get that impression. They have this weird fascination with it(or at least the fantasy of being royalty) and the last two weddings they had news teams over to cover it and even though it was was at night their time you’d swear it was the biggest thing going from the news reports.

    The true scandal here is her appalling attemp at a real interview and the bold lie about nothing being prerehearsed.

    She was an utter fail... Making more millions spreading a bit of anger hate and misery.

    Nothing like a billionaire interviewing a few millionaires about the hardships of life eh...


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭NSAman


    Well it's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out.

    Brings new meaning to hatred between the "in-laws".

    Was watching James Corden the other week and his Harry interview, what I found odd that Megan had to be on the telephone too....very strange! You have never seen any of the other halves of "celebs" having to be phoned up!

    It all smacks of "look at me, look at me"!

    She knew what she was getting into. I don't believe for a minute that if you are that depressed and feeling that low, you would stick in a relationship unless there was something to be gained by it. I personally, wouldn't anyhow.

    Harry can forget getting back to the UK and family anytime soon, if ever.

    Brothers fight, I know I have done with mine. Women cause issues between brothers and that is fact. I have personal experience of same. Having had a brother that stopped talking to me for 15 years due to his choice of "partner", I just hope that William can see that Harry still needs him as a brother.

    I do NOT see this marriage lasting at all. Once the sheen and the media has left them alone, this marriage is going one way. In the crapper!

    You're just as gullible if not more so. Sycophant levels are off the scale. Hilarious

    I think Kate and William or somebody from the family need to do an honest interview about her.

    Charles or Andrew :p

    I thought Charles was close to Meghan but he sounds like a horrible dad and granddad

    The poster has a point..

    She is abusing american ignorance.. Oprah jumps to a conclusion - Megan "well sounds valid to me" haha.

    Why is the kid not a prince - 100 year old rules is why but she must have forgotten that when she said "exactly, why?"

    Was a good laugh. Sure maybe P Morgan can have a turn interviewing them now, get the other side. That would be worth a watch (and i despise the man)

    Hardly likely now.

    Its hard to exaggerate how ill judged this interview was. He should have stuck to drinking afternoon tea with Corden.

    Even if you divide Britain along Brexit lines, 50% conservative nationalist royalists and 50% liberal socialist republicans, that leaves 100% of people who won't want to see him!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,570 ✭✭✭Tyrone212


    Outside the tabloid press in the Uk. The general vibe I get from there is the more right wing you are the less likely you are to believe what Meghan said and the more left wing you are the more likely you are to believe her. In America the majority seem to believe her, Trump supporters seem to dislike her and not believe. A lot of generalisations there I know.

    However, outside the sphere of influence of the gutter British press(Ireland sadly isn't) I wonder how this is going down in the Commonwealth? A majority of those nations are non white so the comment about there being concerns how dark the baby will be won't go down too well there i imagine. Don't think too many there would be happy a senor royal/possible future head of state saying such a thing.

    We may see some commonwealth countries leave the commonwealth over this. The only thing they have in common is they used to get r aped and pillaged by the British. A ridiculous organisation.

    Harry was always forbade from getting a DNA test to prove he was Charles son, and not James Hewitts son, but that's paper talk.
    Would be funny to find out at this stage he's not even royalty .


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,205 ✭✭✭✭silverharp


    what a time, a millionaire being interviewed by a billionaire on how it sucks to be a princess and she is the victim

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    And the opposite side could say the British media is abusing your ignorance.

    Anyway I don't care for any of them. They are all doses. I just find it weird how people defend a family without question that harbours and supports a big sweaty pedo who refuses to be questioned by the FBI. And that big dirty pedo gets an easier ride in the press than Meghan. Very strange.

    “Three days before our wedding, we got married. No one knows that, but we called the Archbishop and we just said: ‘Look this thing, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union, between us.’ So the vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury.”

    Prince Harry said that it had been “Just the three of us.”

    It is common for couples to exchange vows during a wedding rehearsal, or in private, shortly before their wedding day; but this is not recognised as the marriage. In England, a marriage is invalid without two witnesses (in addition to the officiant). In the Church of England, a marriage must also be solemnised by a member of the clergy in a church (or elsewhere — e.g. in hospital, or in a college chapel — by special licence).

    So is their 3 day early marriage claim now a misunderstanding?
    Or shared delusion?
    Was she so naive that she didn't even Google Harry? Or understand what a marriage was and when it was contracted after her previous one?

    Such a silly, simple and easily disproved claim.
    Why would one even do it?
    It really, really puts a gloss of fantasist on everything else that's been said IMO.

    Not at all, As i have posted earlier I think they have been hard done by - definitely the uk press gave them a tough time. Leaving the limelight was a solid plan...

    But being as bad as the press themselves with implied statements shows they aren't exactly very good at all.

    I find the whole thing a great bit of embarrassing entertainment.

    I think you are mixing up people calling megan out for being a a bit deceiptful and nasty for being royal family lovers. Most of us don't like any of them.

    Sure she did say her mate was the paedo's daughter... wasn't that side of the family her way in.. Haha

    ...

    Why are you surprised? Have you forgotten Kate McCann and Lindy Chamberlain?

    The crucifiction of women by the British media has a long tradition. Barely a peep, comparatively, about that real rat-bag, Andrew.

    Maybe that's actually the deal between the DM and RF, you can have Meghan, leave Andy alone. Very convenient timing.

    You can see fairly clearly that he resembles his grandfather. And Earl Spencer, his uncle.



    If there was any doubt that Harry had another father you can be sure it would have been checked by Charles and more than likely used in the divorce - it was a very bitter one and Diana absolutely dominated the PR wars. Surely if Charles had that up his sleeve when the whole world was vilifying him it would have been strategically leaked?

    Not as interesting as how a vast swathe of people believe everything the DM prints and can be brainwashed and coopted into an army of hate without being able to see through it.

    The guy I originally quoted is a big royalist sycophant Jim allister fan boy. So he is. You're obviously not but my post was directed at him.
