Happy birthday Meghan, looks so young for forty.
Hopefully they can get away for a while.
My son and his Californian wife are managing to get away without any problems.
Can’t see any reason they can’t.
…it’s not really serious or news, she was always going to be 40yrs old today…
…Happy Birthday Meghan Markle…:love:…

Me when I turned 36 and my wife pointed out I'm now closer to 40 than 30 :fist:. She is 34. She insists that this now makes me a dirty old man, as I am "basically 40" and she is "basically 30". I'm not comfortable with this logic :suspect:.

I'm aware of that :laugh:
However, in Royal Protocol because they married Princes they became Princesses by marriage. They are Princess William and Princess Henry respectively in the way that Princess Michael of Kent is a Princess, by marriage.
The Queen chose to give them Duke and Duchess titles but they are still Princesses also.
That is why both Kate and Meghan used the occupation. "Princess of the United Kingdom" when registering the births of their children.
duke/duchess is an additional title bestowed by the queen

Meghan - those Royals were so mean to us.. Kate made me cry, they wouldn’t give our poor baby a title because they are racist; they wouldn’t give us any money and they refused to help me when I felt like killing myself!
Oprah (gasp) I’m sure you and Harry are so glad you got away!!!
Meghan - Yeah, we are so excited and honoured to be asked to to visit them next month and we’re taking the kiddies to meet them too! :hee:

I mean, they're just another couple of self centred Hollywood celebs now, with no sense of reality.

As long as their still wanna keep they're Royal titles, they're still somewhat Royals to me, therefore i have no time for them by default. Massively over privileged yet whine and play victim whenever they can.
The Kim and Kayne with a Royal twist. The talent is the other way round with Harry and Meg though, Kayne being the talented one in that relationship, Meg being the only one with talent in her relationship with Harry (no idea if she was a good actress or not, but i heard she was a popular enougn tv show).
Im sure they'll be doing a talk, for big money, about climate change and how us peasants need to watch our carbon footprint. All the while they'll be travelling the world in a private jet.

Simple enough. Live their lives and go about their business in the USA and quietly support the Queen and family without the lies, attention seeking, victimhood, hypocrisy and most of all playing games - all to get one up on the Royals. Their bitterness and jealousy won’t let them be happy and content even with all the privilege and freedom they should be enjoying.

But same could be said about the royal family in general,they all preach whilst flaunting their wealth and privilege in everyone's faces. William and Kate do the same.

They all have wealth but they don't really flaunt it.....however when you get someone like Harry who does not really have to work another day of his life...lecture people to quit their jobs if they are not happy is someone not in touch with reality.

The Duke of Sussex, 37, claimed a newspaper report about his security undermined his charity work and caused "serious harm" to his reputation. But a High Court judge has rejected the Duke's request, saying: "Ultimately, this is an issue of fact."
Prince Harry is suing the publishers of the Mail on Sunday over a report that he "tried to keep his legal fight with the government over police bodyguards a secret". He claimed that the story harmed his reputation to "constitute an attack on his honesty and integrity and undermine his fitness to be involved both in charitable and philanthropic work".
He also claimed the article has caused "serious damage to his reputation and substantial hurt, embarrassment, and distress which is continuing."
The Mail on Sunday published the articles about his ongoing battle with the British government for police security for him and his family when they are in the UK.
The Duke is claiming "damages including aggravated damages" for libel.
How many law suits has Harry got going now :facepalm:

Well tbh the tax payer argument has been used before with the royal family in general, some people still think it's unfair that tax payers must pay for events concerning them.
Even in the political world it happens, many think it was an insult that that tax payers had to contribute to Margaret Thatcher's funeral bill and I'm in agreement.

Atleast Meghan and Harry don't affect our lives, or increase gas & electricity prices . Or make cuts to services we essentially need.

Oh he could have won - he would have benefited from the high level security already around any occasion involving the Royal family which is good enough for them and all their children.
He and Meghan managed to attend the Invictus games in the Netherlands and a swift visit to the Queen in the VERY dangerous UK without high level Royal security.
But no, he had to make waves as usual. Tiresome self entitled little twerp.

it's not a matter of "cant win" the royal protection service simply is not available for hire, it's not a private business, so when he said he wanted to pay for it, it was said in the knowledge that the service could not be purchased. He is not that stupid

Yeah but they're still the Queen's family , nothing changes that. I think they just want stronger security especially now they have children to protect.
I'm not really that invested enough to care . But didn't Harry originally want to pay for security or something a while back? . Or am I thinking of something else .
They wanted to pay for Royal Protection…nothing else. It’s completely different.

Yeah, I guess it was too hard to take it all lying down. Meghan started the whole sorry mess in the first place by publicly humiliating her family by not inviting any of them to her wedding, refusing courtiers help to protect her father, and telling Harry a sob story about having no real family (Harry on radio show “we are the family she never had”).
Then Meghan lied about and tried to discredit her father to her friends (People magazine) and lied and tried to discredit her half sister (Oprah interview and Finding Freedom book).
Now the Dad, Samantha and Meghan have all given interviews; the difference between them is that Meghan does it in $50,000 designer gear preaching about what a humanitarian she is and how we should all show compassion and slagging off her inlaws while using them to make her fortune.
it looks like he has become obsessed with it to be honest. Someone in ill health shouldnt be travelling long distance on a plane, that should be obvious to anyone

How embarrassing was that for her? Harry and the other guy held the trophy aloft and Meghan, standing in between them, was pushed back out of sight and her hat was nearly knocked off. Then she ducked and pushed herself forward into the shot….and the kiss…she hid kissing Harry with her hand and then proceeded to wipe lipstick off his face with her fingers like she was his Mummy. Not to mention the high stilleto heels on a polo field. Oh Meghan....:facepalm:

Very beautiful and touching to see Meghan pay her tributes to the victims :love:
When Kate attended a vigil for Sarah Everard and was photographed, no-one said she "took a photographer to capture the moment"
Well now...
Difference was Kate walked a mile down the road with a discreet security guy, no cameras, she was only photographed by another mourner on their phone. No announcement was made of her visit.
Meghan can’t do anything without bells and whistles attached.
A spokesperson announced she made a 6 hour round trip to Uvalde to support the community in person. WTH? Why would she think they needed to see HER, in person.
She’s not a working Royal, she’s not a politician, she’s a minor actress who happened to marry a Prince, is all.
Her self importance and narcissism is mind blowing.
There are photos on Twitter (if anyone can post them) of her being photographed by 2 cameramen with those professional cameras on tripods and she posed with the people who were in the food for the blood donors area.
She was accompanied by Michael Jacksons security guy who was with him when he died, it is said.
She won’t drive 3 hours to see her very ill father, who sacrificed so much for his beloved daughter until she cast him aside when he was no longer needed, but takes a private jet in luxury to posture for tragic strangers in the throes of unbelievable grief for kudo’s and photo ops. She makes me sick.

Well no, because for the 2 years before the wedding, throughtout Harry dating Meghan and then getting engaged, there wasn't a peep out of her Dad or Sam.
It started when they discovered Meghan was lying about them and then discarded them like she did with many others who were no longer of any use to her, like her best friend from childhood until 'Suits' fame among them.

'Meghan has NOT reached out': Duchess' half-sister Samantha claims royal has not been in touch with their father Thomas after he suffered stroke - as she says it might take him a year to learn to speak again.
Samantha:
‘She's always had his phone number, it hasn't changed, (even a text?) and his address, so any suggestion that she doesn't know how to get hold of him and that she wanted to be private is somewhat ridiculous on the grounds that if you want to reach out to your father privately you know how to do it'.
-------------------
Meghan must be the most hard, unforgiving person - what her previously adored Dad did initally wasn't that bad to cut him completely out of her life so ruthlessly.
She could learn a lot from the Queen's kindness and compassion in being willing to welcome Meghan even after she trashed her family and the Institution and along with Harry has caused her much heartache.
Meghan isn't fit to be in the same buliding as such a magnificent lady.

Matthew Lodge 31 May 2022
Meghan Markle's estranged half-brother tells her to 'show some support for your dad' after the Duchess made unannounced visit to Uvalde - but has not visited her father following his stroke
Thomas Markle Jr has urged Meghan Markle to help after their father, Thomas Markle, had a stroke last week
The 55-year-old called on his half-sister to 'stop this vicious PR attack' and to show support for her ailing dad
Her half-brother also hit out at her trip to the site of the Uvalde mass shooting, describing it as 'insensitive'
He said despite reports the Duchess of Sussex wants to heal the rift with her father, she has not contacted him.
----------------
She has a heart as cold as ice. Can anyone truthfully say they have ever seen any genuine compassion from this woman. Everything she does is for self promotion.
In this case, her PR team hasn't even managed to persuade her yet that at least it would reflect positively on her to pay him a visit...even a one - off. :shocked:

Meghan was viewed negatively by 63 percent, almost two thirds, of 1,692 British adults surveyed between May 18 and 19.
By contrast, 23 percent viewed her positively giving the duchess a net approval of -42, down from -39 in the pollster's last survey.
Prince Harry was disliked by 58 percent and liked by 32 percent giving him net figures of -26, down a point since YouGov's last survey.
A YouGov press release read: "In this latest round of figures, Harry and Meghan's popularity has dropped again, with scores for both fringe royals hitting new lows."
They have traditionally been viewed more positively among young people than among older Brits but even within Gen Z, support appears to be narrowing….

Proof?
Maybe if he wasn’t a ****ty father.
One of many entries Meghan wrote about her Dad on her TIG blog.
“Draw your own box. White. Black. Hispanic. Asian/Pacific Islander.
Those were the only four options available for me to check as my ethnicity in my 7th grade English class. Choose one. It was some sort of mandatory census that had to be completed before an exam, and there I was (my curly hair, my freckled face, my pale skin, my mixed race) looking down at these boxes, not wanting to mess up, but not knowing what to do. Not knowing which box I fit in to.
I remember going home that night and telling my dad what happened, recounting how my teacher said to just “choose one” - that despite my being biracial, that I should simply choose one box and be done with it. And in one of those parenting moments that no guidebook could ever prep you for, my dad said words that will stay with me forever: “Draw your own box.”
This is the same man who took apart two Barbie boxed sets (because you could only buy a white Barbie or a black one), and made a custom one to bring home to me - his speciality set included a black Barbie mom, a white Ken doll dad, and two kids - one black and one white. I picture him standing there in Toys R Us, moms glaring at him for taking the toys apart, perhaps an employee saying “excuse me sir, you can’t do that” - as my dad carefully separated the boxed sets to make one that echoed my reality. One that showed me that I should (and could) make my own box.
In celebrating Father’s Day, I think of so many moments with my dad. Our club sandwich & fruit smoothie tradition post my tap & ballet class - classes, which by the way, he religiously took me to on Saturday mornings after working 75+ hours a week as a lighting director. The fishing trips along the Kern River and Big Bear Lake to catch catfish or trout and cook it up for dinner, and the commitment he made to lighting my high school musicals so that they felt as grand as a Broadway show.
The blood, sweat and tears this man (who came from so little in a small town of Pennsylvania, where Christmas stockings were filled with oranges, and dinners were potatoes and spam) invested in my future so that I could grow up to have so much.
He helped me turn my bathroom into a darkroom when I was twelve because I wanted to be a photographer - shading my windows in red lighting gels and filling my cabinets with extra jugs of fixer. He put gas in my car when I went from audition trying to make it as an actress. He is the person who believed in this grand dream of mine well before I could even see it as a possibility. He taught me to write thank you notes, to always arrive early, to drink Arnold Palmers, to find my light when I’m on camera…and beyond.
And that, right there, is the point: my dad taught me to find my light. And he taught me to always make my own box.
To my dad - my thoughtful, inspiring, hardworking Daddy - Happy Father’s Day. ‘If I had all the water in the world, I’d give all the water to you…’ (You won’t get that quote, but he will. And for Father’s Day, that’s all that matters).”

Meghan was literally criticised for paying her respects to the dead victims of the recent school massacre.
Whether you like her dislike her ,I don't understand why she was slated for this .

Because she is an opportunist....that's why she was slated.
