I'm responding, I'm not putting words in your mouth.

I started by saying that the coverage and public reception of her is no doubt influenced by bigotry and you responded with 'Character not colour' which by itself is downplaying the bigotry of the situation. I responded by saying that it's unrealistic to think that there's no bigotry involved in the hatred of her, to which you brought up personal experience which is ultimately irrelevant to the point I'm making.

It doesn't really matter, because it's undeniable that certain people who will hate Meghan Markle will hate her for her race, her gender and her nationality.

Oh I'm not sure about that one,he did his fair share on the PM , Megan took over as soon as the jabs were going well.

Naw he's been sprinkling the Meghan hatred around here and there for much longer than that, he just had more time to really double down.

But he still always goes back to slagging Meghan off , he can't get over her . He's very delusional and pitiful.

His obsession with Meghan long predates the jabs.

So what is the history between Piers and Meghan?

The relationship between the two stems back to before Meghan even met Prince Harry.
In December 2018, six months after Meghan and Harry's wedding, Piers, 55, took to the Daily Mail to write an extensive column about the Duchess, which he titled: “Meghan Markle is a ruthless social climbing actress who has landed the role of her life and is determined to milk it for all she can - and that’s why the Palace is beginning to turn on her.”
The column begins to say “I was ghosted by Meghan Markle,” and goes on to detail how Meghan and Piers were friendly in 2015, starting with following each other on Twitter.

He said they then began to correspond regularly, chatting about all sorts of topics.
He wrote: “She even started sending me early preview episodes of her show so we could debate juicy storylines yet to air – which we did, at length.”
Then, in June 2016, they met for drinks in London at his favourite pub while she was in town.
And that, it seems, was the end of the friendship. He wrote: “At this point, I was indeed labouring under the massive misapprehension that we were friends. I was wrong.

“She met Prince Harry at the dinner that night, went on a solo date with him the next night, and I never heard from her again. Not a word. I’d been ghosted.”
Piers took this perceived snub with great offence.
He wrote: “I’d been ‘played’ by a couple of B-list actors (he also speaks of Meghan’s friend, Rick Hoffman), who were clearly just using me to advance their careers.”
............................................

She made a big mistake ghosting someone with an ego like Piers. :laugh:
He is always spot on about Duchess NoUseToMeNow though.

The irony that he’s been using her for his own career for at least three years now.

But... you go on blaming the woman.

Reports from meghans friend said she did not intend to go to Philips funeral as she didn’t want to over shadow the funeral

Indeed she did. Interesting that you find that "funny". Not surprising, but interesting.

Being HEAVILY Pregnant had nothing to do with it then ?

The entirety of Piers Morgan's sad, cucked bitterness summed up. Thankyou jet, very succinct.

You're very welcome! :D

what it is is very rude

but then i guess she is rude

As we have no idea what her reasons were, we have no idea whether or not it was rude. No one "owes" anyone a friendship, and while I agree it would be harsh to cut contact with someone out of the blue for absolutely no reason, we don't know that she had no reason - maybe he said something or made her uncomfortable on their dinner date? Maybe Harry told her some things about Piers that made her no longer want contact with him? Not saying either of those things definitely happened -- just that we can't judge as we don't know :hee:.

EITHER WAY. Even if it was for no reason - which I have agreed would be harsh - it doesn't justify a bitter "revenge campaign". It's still incredibly, incredibly sad that he couldn't just say "Well that's a shame and very hurtful" and then ****ing move on like a grown-up.

there has been no "campaign"

he is a news anchor and paid to make an opinion on the news

and online in articles

its why he is so very successful as an anchor, a journalist and author

The more and more Piers rants and spouts garbage out his mouth, the more it confirms Meghan made the right decision to avoid him / cut him out .

His hate campaign shows his true colours ,of what a very bitter nasty man he is. Who would want a friend like him seriously :umm2: .

Buying someone a drinking and talking to them , doesn't mean you own them . How do we know he didn't make her feel uncomfortable? , Plus we don't know how they parted ways .

The weirdo makes it sound like he was in a long term relationship with Meghan or something, he's such a creep :facepalm: .

here is a thought for the day ... if Piers dislikes her as much as he says, why would he obsess on her so much? In my experience the last thing you want to do is talk about someone you can't stand. You push them out of your mind and never give them a moments thought again, particularly when you can't even make the excuse that your job demands it

Sound advice there.

Piers is like a Dog with a bone..he gets someone between his teeth and he cant let go. He has done it with plenty..shes not the first and she wont be the last and whilst she continues to create headlines he will continue to attack.

Her mum was determined Meghan wouldn’t travel but for Meghan it seems she didn’t want be the centre of attention

i am afraid this is very much a minority view

Piers is a very popular sucessful man and got record audience figures for GMB - the person you paint does nto resemble him.

He was a very successful judge on BGT ffs

:facepalm:

People do not realise that he is being contacted by hundreds of different types of media all desperate to get him talking about Markle because they know its golden content

I think we need to be a bit cannier here as to what really is going on

:spin:

I think its because many people have those opinions and he has a platform to express them in a way that many haven't. Its what he and many do as journalists...they become a 'voice' and like him or loathe him he isnt frightened to say what many wouldn't.

Oh...no doubt. He has become the mouthpiece for all those that dislike her.

Is it?

Don't mistake popularity and mass appeal for "majority" appeal. Did lots of people enjoy watching him on GMB, give them good ratings, etc? Yes. Do the majority of people watch GMB at all? No.

Did many people like him on BGT? Sure. Do the majority of people even watch BGT at all let alone like Piers on it? No.

You have no evidence at all that a skepticism of Piers Morgan is a "minority opinion".
