That's not a newspaper , even toilet paper has more class than that trash !

[Tom4784]

Good for them, I do hope that any press they have to do is through the US press, I hope they leave the UK media starving after how they've been treated.

[Ammi]

...I recall there was speculation that she may be pregnant a little while ago, I can’t recall exactly when that was...but the timing may be right with her bump size from that pic...a May due date might fit in with that speculation time... beautiful pic, anyway ...:love:...

No top long reaching lenses UK press
are there.
They sell, it to USA

[Alf]

Daily Star wins headline of the day.

[joeysteele]

That ragStar's front page is an affront to any decency.

What kind of individuals waste hundreds of pounds a year buying that.
A total waste of paper.

[Cherie]

Meh the Star has this type of headline every day mainly about members of the Government, its par for the course

[Oliver_W]

I am utterly shocked that the Daily Star has a trashy headline!!! They're usually so respectful toward public figures.

[smudgie]

Congratulations to the happy couple, great news for them.

Last time the media were told Meghan had gone into labour hours after the baby had been born, nobody was allowed to know where she was having it or who the godparents would be, as is expected with Royal births. Which created more drama and gossip on social media and news outlets than simple straightforward announcements of course. I would think the media have her wave - making for any attention measure by now, like most of the GBP. :hee:

[jet]

Harry's hair in that pic :shocked: A full head of it when last week on the open topped bus he was Frair Tuck. :laugh:

[Ammi]

...I hadn’t realised the date connection in announcing it...:love:...


Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's exciting baby news is also a sweet tribute to the late Princess Diana! After months of speculation, Meghan and Harry ~finally~ confirmed that another royal is on the way. They chose Valentine's Day to make the announcement, which is cute in its own right, but it's also the same day Princess Diana announced she was pregnant with Harry.

The dates are 37 years apart, but it's evident that Meghan and Harry intentionally decided to honor Princess Di in this way. It's truly the sweetest honor and I'm definitely not crying about it...

[jet]

The milking of their royal titles and Diana for profit and sympathy is tiresome.

[Ammi]

...Diana is his mother, he adored her, that’s obvious...there is no ‘milking’ there is only them trying to keep Diana as part of their lives and part of the grandchildren’s lives that she never came to know, I would thing...it’s very touching and lovely....

[LukeB]

Congrulations to them :love:

.

It's getting really riduclous now tbh they have just annouced something great for them and people still have to try and be negative and can't even congratulate them and move on or not say anything at all. Is it really hard to say something nice?

Lol, so she can't win either way. She either doesn't alert the press and she's considered some great manipulator or she'll get branded an attention seeker for making an announcement.

People really trip over their own (il)logical knots trying to paint things in a way to slate her.

It’s the way everyday people act like royal police. They ain’t paying you to make sure protocol is followed. Instead of living their own lives they typing up a storm over a woman they don’t know not giving birth how they want.

Who said that? A simple straightforward announcement just like Kate, or Diana, or Fergie, or Eugenie did would not be attention seeking - instead of the cloak and dagger fiasco surrounding her first baby.

[Ammi]

...why would Meghan or Harry do what others have done and how they’ve made announcements or whatever...it’s her and Harry’s life, their choice and their control...isn’t that the point and should be...

[rusticgal]

'I'm happy for any couple announcing a pregnancy, but it's Meghan so I'm gonna slate her for announcing a pregnancy.'

You see how you wrongly twist words....I didnt slate them for announcing the pregnancy....I slated them for the way it was done. A couple who left the country for privicy....:laugh:

[LukeB]

...why would Meghan or Harry do what others have done and how they’re made announcements or whatever...it’s her and Harry’s life, their choice and their control...isn’t that the point and should be...

:laugh:

Like isn't it better annoucing it now with a creative way rather than guessing are they aren't they or seeing potential fat shaming headlines like "Meghan has gained weight bla bla bla"

This should have been her third child </3 negativity isn't needed or necessary at all.

Like you said most people are doing that these days and it's not really a big deal.

[Tom4784]

Who said that? A simple straightforward announcement just like Kate, or Diana, or Fergie, or Eugenie did would not be attention seeking - instead of the cloak and dagger fiasco surrounding her first baby.

And if she did that, people would still find a way to criticise her, this is the woman who literally got slated for holding her pregnant belly while Kate was described as glowing for doing the same, this is the woman who was branded a diva for wanting air fresheners in a church while Kate was celebrated for importing expensive candles for her wedding.

They could have simply said 'We're pregnant', and the media would criticise her for not making it a grand enough statement. She is someone who cannot do right for doing wrong because the media and people who encourage the media to do what they do cannot see Meghan's actions as anything else but negative.

I don't blame her one bit for telling the press about her first born until after it was all said and done, if it was Kate, she would have been praised for it.

If you treat someone like ****, don't expect to be the first to know when they have good news. Common sense, really.

I would have a problem with that, only one of them is pregnant :p

And you would have a problem with any other couple saying that rather than 1 because you don't like them :laugh:

I just hate that phrase in general

[jet]

Because they were very much a part of the Royal family at the time and there is a mutual agreement between the Royals and the public (and press) when it comes to big occasions, which the public love to share in.
It's not a big ask, but Meghan had to shroud it all in mystery. I mean, what was the point exactly? Sheer dramatics if you ask me.
In labour and it comes out the baby was already born hours before? Why the deliberate lie?

[jet]

And if she did that, people would still find a way to criticise her

Well I wouldn't. I like straightforwardness.

I think i said it wrong because I know you don't have an issue with Meghan I'm just saying you would have a problem with anyone saying "we're pregnant" and not just one random couple because you don't like them because you're a very fair and non bias person :laugh:

...they are very much a part of the Royal family, not ‘were’...they’ve only stepped down for a career if you like of working Royals...and I know of no agreement with either the tabloid media or any media or indeed, their families which would dictate how they announce something for the public gaze of life importance ....so far as I’m aware, nothing has been announced by either media or family in that regard...I have no idea what shrouding in mystery is referring to, there is no mystery but there was at one time some speculation as to whether she was pregnant and now they’ve made an announcement that she is...she’s very pregnant I would say by her bump size but that would be an obvious delay in announcement as she miscarried in the summer of last year so they would be cautious before announcing this pregnancy...

They can do what they like....I just find it so hypocritical that a couple that left the Royal family for a private life and desire for privacy pose at every opportunity for publicity...I mean just announce it like any other normal couple without the gushing theatrical dramatic pictures designed to go out for all the world to see.

Im pleased for them...but my opinion on them has not changed.

[Tom4784]

A normal couple do the "theatrical dramatic pictures" :hehe: Hardly anyone annouces it saying "I'm pregnant" anymore only on this forum because private and all that. There's always a posed picture with a baby scan. Times have changed

You seem confused as you are referring to this pregnancy, I was only referring to her first one in the post you quoted, was that not obvious?

They will never get privacy, the best they can hope for is to control what they share and when which is the same for any high profile person. I don't know why that's hard to understand. They could not announce it, and they would get criticised and they would also lose control of how it would come out. It's all about getting out in front of it all so you can announce what you want and how you want rather than surrendering that control to someone else.

As for the announcement, it's no different to what a lot of couples do, loads of people do pregnancy shoots these days, before the pandemic, at least, I'd always see couples on facebook announcing their pregnancy with either a scan or some sort of professional looking picture of the couple. Many high profile people do it.

...they left to have more control over their lives and also because of how extreme the U.K. media was with their relentless negativity...do you recall when Meghan said...’I didn’t think it would be easy but I thought it would be fair’...and she said that she’d never experienced that other than in the U.K...I mean, I honestly don’t think that she can win, Rusty ...because obviously at some point, the world would know that she was pregnant so an announcement had to be made...(...I presume when any more potential vulnerable time was over following her previous miscarriage....)...and I understand that you may not like the pic and others may not/its personal taste...but from their favoured wedding pics, it’s their preferred type of pic and I love it...of course it’s posed but it’s in a very natural pose showing their love as well and a very popular way ...for wedding/pregnancy announcements...

Well maybe Im missing something with the photos...I have not seen anyting like it apart from magazine shoots but not for the purpose of an announcement :shrug:. Of course I have seen couples doing a selfie with a scan picture or sticking the scan picture in a Birthday/xmas or mothers day card etc...
I disagree with the Privacy issue...many Royals or ex famous people disappear out of the limelight and lead a relatively normal life...of course they get snapped now and then....but Meghan and Harry are constantly courting the limelight and publicity...so long as as its all positive.

[Crimson Dynamo]

For this is yet another example of Meghan and Harry's brazen hypocrisy, and
further evidence that they don't have any real desire for privacy.

They just want the right to use the media to promote themselves when it suits
them, and trash and ban them when it doesn't.

In fact, it's quite clear that the pair of them crave attention and publicity like
ravenous jackals gorging on the carcass of a freshly slain gazelle.

Well it is a very American thing to do, a family photo with a baby bump or a ultrasound depending on how far along you are. I see it from the everyday people on Facebook to the reality stars, to anyone with an Instagram account.

I think the point is, they could just be like every other couple and post it to their Facebook... but the press will take that and make the story into what they want it to be. No matter what they do the press are going to run the story of them being pregnant, so why not get ahead of it to control the narrative of that story. It's obviously an impossibility for them, as it was Diana... but they have to try.

[Vicky.]

Good for them. For me, I see a big difference between asking for privacy in some areas, and being willing to share some news with the press/everyone.

That's the crux of it - they can't take any criticism at all, which is why they are making such a big deal of 'we are leading in the mission to make social media nicer', as if it isn't being done already by more influential and knowledgeable voices than theirs.
It's all about THEM wanting total control, jumping on the latest fashionable bandwagon and being the perennial victims.

"As for the baby bump photo, they could have refused to let the papers they
despise have it. That would be consistent with their ban.

But they wanted it splashed all over their sworn enemy's front pages because it
will boost the Sussex brand and earn them even more money.

This decision made them look like the perfect expectant parents.


It also made them look like a right royal pair of shameless hypocrites. "

But they are adamant they never read social media about them....and I would never post anything derogatory about anyone on it anyway even if I was on it, which I'm not. People seem to read social media sites, get angry and come here and take it out on members.

The stifling of freedom of speech and expression is attempted here, by people telling others how they should act, think and feel and being treated with negativity and hostility and name calling because some don't like her as they do. They complain about the treatment poor Meghan gets but don't mind dishing it out themselves, (not you, by the way!) If people are posting within the rules it should not be allowed, but is.

....and really, they could escape any hostility by not putting themselves out there every other day with some lawsuit or drama or preachy hypocritical lecture or other. 'Do as I do!'
Plenty of celebs live their lives privately and do good works without having to tell the world what they are doing, having photographers on tap for their 10 minute charity runs and how they are going to save us all every 5 minutes.
Look at us! Look! They really bring it on themselves.

[Tom4784]

Well maybe Im missing something with the photos...I have not seen anyting like it apart from magazine shoots but not for the purpose of an announcement :shrug:. Of course I have seen couples doing a selfie with a scan picture or sticking the scan picture in a Birthday/xmas or mothers day card etc...
I disagree with the Privacy issue...many Royals or ex famous people disappear out of the limelight and lead a relatively normal life...of course they get snapped now and then....but Meghan and Harry are constantly courting the limelight and publicity...so long as as its all positive.

It's utterly naïve to think that Megan and Harry could ever disappear from the limelight, there's too much of a sense of entitlement in the UK when it comes to the Royals, we think we're entitled to know what's going on with them, hell, look at earlier in the thread when the idea of Megan keeping details secret was seen as her courting the press. She gets slated when she does things on her terms, she gets slated when she tries to keep the press at a distance.

Whether you disagree with the privacy issue or not is irrelevant, that is how life is for people who live in the public eye whether they want to be, or not. They either control the narrative or someone makes those decisions for them. You're just letting your own bias get in the way of common sense, really.

Its just something else to detract from the happy news of the pregnancy. Although I’m sure they have more of an input into Archies life than anyone on this Big Brother forum know about.

Ffs why is it a crime to want a bit of privacy and to have a bit of control in the media , as mentioned already Meghan was an actress and knows how it works .

But like many other famous people in the public eye if they don't like how they're being treated then they will say so and they're entitled to a bit of peace & privacy once in a while . Not that the trolls or tabloids will stop :bored: .

...I was reading that as we were reading about her pregnancy, an Australian magazine had a headline and a ‘truth’ that Harry and Meghan were splitting
up, the marriage was over...so negative misinformation and sensationalism about them is not just a U.K. thing...I can’t imagine the impact of these things on them to constantly read untruths from ‘media’ sources who think it’s just fine and ok to do that...and it’s easy to see why they sometimes seek justice through law and feel...ENOUGH....I wonder how much they overlook before they get to that place...

...modern family life for many/most couples in current times is two working parents...so childcare is very commonplace, whatever form it takes and whatever the income...obviously in some cases, it may be grandparents/family etc...but in so many situations, it isn’t that so other childcare option are needed and applied...so many branches of Royals and generation after generation of Royals etc have had nannies and younger generations still do still have nannies, including William and Kate, obviously...Harry and Meghan are obviously very much a ‘working team’ so they obviously need to have childcare in place..and their most precious and treasured thing will be their children, like any other parent...whether rich or not so much..so the very best in affordable childcare will always be the case for virtually every parent ....even with the most wealthy people..to work has personal self fulfilment and had value and worth to others as their charity work most definitely does...

[AnnieK]

The Queen had nannies bring up her children, Harry and William talk fondly of their own nanny, William and Kate have a nanny....its not a new thing or exclusive to Meghan and Harry. People have used nannies for years. I worked as a nanny in the States and there were loads of families where I lived who had a nanny. It was actually a cheaper option than using childcare settings. The child is cared for in their home setting with one to one care. I had 3 kids in my family and I loved them like they were my own....

Don't be ridiculous Arista.....her pregnancy will be monitored but there is absolutely no reason why her pregnancy won't be straightforward.

It’s funny because nobody gave a toss when Trump was mercilessly mocked, the Star regularly has either Hancock, Bojo or Williamson as the butt of one of their front page headlines at least once a week for the past year, not heard one complaint on TIBB, I suppose that’s different?

Well speaking for myself.
I never take any real notice of paper publications.

I only ever see the front pages of papers on here when anyone posts them.

I neither read or buy the gutter trash they just about all are.
Wouldn't soil my hands picking up my pet Staffie's mess up with them even.

So I have nothing to do with the publications, so rarely comment on them because I've not a scrap of interest in the gutter trash publications.

However, since they've been posted on here, that front page on the rag shown, is disgraceful and pathetic too.
The real sad thing is, people spend hundreds of pounds a year on their trash.

...as someone who placed children in caged condition for instance, whilst they were separated form their parents...how would any any actions from leaders and and government ministers be equivalent in any way to a couple announcing a pregnancy or giving an interview or any actions that provoke such extreme negativity they have to endure...relentlessly endure..it just can’t be compared...

How does a gif of Melania snatching her hand away for instance help anything, it’s mocking his relationship

What has that to do with the job of being a world leader or caged children

How does putting a dunce hat on Gavin Williamson aide or advance anything, it’s not holding him to account, it’s mockery all part and parcel of the same thing, if we allow that on front pages and social media without comment where is the line drawn, there is no line

[Ammi]

...you’re talking about forum stuff, Cherie...?...Trump’s relationship was of huge public interest I would say because he is a world leader and no comparison to Meghan at all and neither is a dunce cap gif or whatever applies to Gavin Williamson ...those aren’t instances of persistent negative media over a huge length of time ...so equivalent to media bullying effectively which caused an obvious mental pain and fragility...

I also dont see the 'She's an attention seeker' argument. I'd like someone who dislikes like her to say specifically why, Not say she's stuck up or an attention seeker but give a specific example of something that she did then explain why it was so out of order for them.

...yeah, I know the media can be quite negative about many celebrities for a specific reason relating to something that’s happening or happened in their life at one particular time..but for poor Meghan, it’s a consistent thing, a common place thing that they slant everything about her into a negative headline and article...even when there’s nothing to slant, they’ll find one...

I think there's an element of 'why isnt she satisfied' with Meghan.

It’s funny because nobody gave a toss when Trump was mercilessly mocked, the Star regularly has either Hancock, Bojo or Williamson as the butt of one of their front page headlines at least once a week for the past year, not heard one complaint on TIBB, I suppose that’s different?

Hit the nail on the head :clap1:
