The privacy involves the same letter in which he friends told the magazine it was a peace offering when in reality it was not.

You can’t have it both ways it’s either private or it’s not

I was unaware you were such a close personal friend with the royal family and Meghan's dad , what's it like ??.:whistle: anyone would think you had inside gospel information.

The fact that Meghan's dad showed his true colours in his little cash grab documentary ,speaks volumes that people still blame Meghan .

Him and Meghan's sister both come across very bitter and unhealthy in the way they air their dirty laundry and the way they conduct themselves ,but yeah it's all Meghan's fault as she's the devil oops I forgot :notimpressed: .

And as mentioned before this is a private sensitive issue which shouldn't be plastered all over media with twisted narrative . Non of us will ever know the full details , but to me it seems there's resentment and jealousy . And the judgemental unfair treatment of Meghan is just typical .

Its not OTT though....its just opinion.

There is no toxic abuse or hatred....people really need to get a grip with the dramatics...its laughable.

...and by the way I only used the toxic word as a response to the post..

It’s even worse when the toxicity towards Meghan comes from grown men.

At the end of the day, her father sold stories about her, he sold private letters, he tried to profit from his own daughter's wedding. You can't both sides this and make out that people are just as toxic to her father when it's not the case. Her father isn't in the news every other day, there isn't articles slamming him for holding his belly, there certainly wasn't any comparable articles to when the tabloid rags slammed her for saying something like 'My husband and I'. The only times he has been brought up has been a result of his own wrongdoing towards his daughter. He actually did something to deserve the bad press and the criticism while people bend over backwards to find reasons to hate on Meghan, to try to make out that both are similar is just the most disingenuous bull****.

If this was anyone else, no one would be on the father's side, absolutely no one, but because it's a mixed race american woman who had the audacity to marry a prince, people are accepting the gaslighting because they think it gives their irrational, crazy hatred of this woman substance when it does not. It just highlights how far gone people are.

Oh, and since I already know the responses to this post, I'll just tackle the predictable 'Meghan fan' response that gets dished out to anyone that isn't cutting letters out of a magazine to send her death threats. You don't have to be a fan of someone to see how they are treated is bull****, but you do have to hate someone deeply to the point of irrationality to go against the grain of reality to find reasons to justify hating someone like that. As I said before, if this wasn't Meghan, the people who are defending the father would not be doing so because it's clear as day that he's looking to profit off his own daughter. The fact people are saying 'Everyone deserves a right to privacy but....' to try to justify a reason for Meghan's privacy to be invalidated just says it all.

Take a breath, step away from the computer and just look inward. The hatred towards this woman is not normal behaviour.

Watching the haters spin themselves into a frenzy over this positive news because they simply refuse to see anything positive in her is amazing.

The holding her belly when pregnant is the weirdest most nit picky one I've read actually, pretty much every pregnant woman holds her belly like that sometimes, bizarre

Dont start the 'didnt know you were a personal friend crap'.....I dont see you saying that to anyone else who passes comment on someone. Your defense of someone you dont know is equally questionable...

:pat:

Well.obviously you can as her case was successful :shrug: I think the courts are probably better well equipped on what is an invasion of privacy than either of us.

Because other people that are passing comments are actually looking to the facts we know of.

People who hate Meghan are reluctantly pretending to accept this result while also trying to find a way to blame her for everything and invalidate the ruling.

Trying to make out that GoldHeart is doing the same thing as you is just an attempt to make her look worse by comparing her to what you are doing. A flawed tactic.

If I sat and responded to every nit picking critism and unfair treatment of Meghan then I'd be here till next Christmas :sleep:

Well was I being unreasonable with my statement? as non of us personally know Meghan's dad or the royal family or Meghan herself . There's 2 sides to a story .

I don't understand why Meghan's dad gets all the sympathy when he's far from the victim in all this . And he's his own destroyer . He seems to care more about selling his daughter down the river than her actual feelings .

Pockets in dresses are so rare it would be a crime not to tbh!! But yeah, seriously wtaf?? The height of pettiness

...I love a pocket ...:love:..and now appreciate that keeping them fairly empty means that my hands fit in, which somehow gives a strange feeling of comfort and safety ...I read a headline this morning...

‘Why the Duchess of Cambridge should take a fashion lesson from Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria’

...so now that the U.K. media doesn’t get the opportunity to criticise Meghan so much and compare her unfavourably to Kate at every opportunity...it seems they may be turning their eyes a bit to Kate, sadly....strangely, we don’t see prominent males of importance constantly compared in the same way...*insert name* wore his tie with just the correct knot tension....but *insert name*, well that was a little too loose for a Royal for goodness sake, what were they thinking....

ikr :facepalm: :bored: , imagine hating on someone so badly to then mock and belittle every little thing they do. It's ridiculous.

...practising the sacrifice of children at your wedding, though...it’s good that Ms Meghan has gone, tbh...we’ll have none of that here...


https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/w...0d85a__700.jpg

...obviously it was a female child’s life that she put in danger...leave them boys alone...

Yeah always women being compared and picked at, sexism at it's finest

Yeah some BS about a flower allergy Charlotte allegedly had as Meghan was portrayed as some witch that poisoned her according to these incredible sources :bored: :notimpressed: .

It's what always bothers me about the whole Meghan situation, it's motivated by bigotry, a vile mix of sexism, racism and xenophobia.

it's either that or two females in a fued with no evidence other than being women :laugh: you would think all that crap would not be a thing today but sadly it is.

She lets her friends tell a false side to the story and sued the paper that told the whole story

She won a case but it has done her no favours

The queen wont put up with their nonsense and banned Harry from laying a wreath because it was a p1ss take only for them to release a picture of them in cemetery for falling soldiers

This is what happens when you can't tell the difference between reality and fiction.

And even though it's obvious , those things still get denied :bored: . Disgusting really .

Especially with the petty stupid comparisons they kept doing with Kate .

I honestly don't really care if it does her any favours or not :laugh: that's not me being facetious, I honestly don't.

As for the Queen, she is entitled to do what she wants too. I don't really care about that either.

My point in this thread has only ever been that Meghan has not done anything that terrible with this case. She didn't like what she read, had a case and won in a court of law. She didn't sue her father, only a publication who, like LT pointed out yesterday, won't care as its publicity so a win for them too in that respect.

...and also that their specific individualities would be equally celebrated as with males, rather than comparing as if clones and all have to ‘conform’ to something that males are never expected to...

Wasn't Harry actually in the Army? Surely he has every right to pay his respects whether it's with the Royal family or just with his wife?

...and also...

Kate: "It was reported that new Duchess of Cambridge requested her favorite scented candles and toiletries from luxury fragrance brand Jo Malone be delivered to scent the Abbey. A selection of candles, handwashes and lotions was requested, specifically in citrus spring scents including Orange Blossom, Grapefruit and the ever-popular Lime, Basil & Mandarin." Daily Mail: May 4, 2011
Meghan: "'Meghan wanted staff to go around with these atomizers, like spritzer guns, and spray the chapel with scent before anyone arrived. Royal Household staff stepped in and told her office politely, but firmly, that this was the queen's chapel and it simply wasn't appropriate. I don't believe they said no because they thought it could affect the chapel in any way. It was simply the principle of the thing. This is a place that has held royal weddings, funerals and even contains the royal vault. I don't believe a request of that nature had been made before.'" Daily Mail: Nov. 30, 2018

Of course there are two sides to every story....none of us know them so we simply have opinions on what we observe...and we all observe differently. However...the "do you know them personally" comment is pathetic because its obvious no one here knows them personally, Its a ridiculous reaction to someone debating on a forum.
If Meghan wants to keep putting herself on the public stage then she has to take the rough with the smooth....and not everyone is going to like her...thats life.

Absolutely. People can try bullying those that don't like her off the forum with words like hatred and toxic and accusations of racism and misogyny, and its allowed. Its as if throwing those accusations around is going to change anyone's mind. Crazy and childish stuff that isn't going to work because I for one will continue to dislike her as long as I feel I have reason to - and I'll post what I want, when I want while trying to stay within the rules which used to be 'address the content of the post, not the poster' - but not any more it seems.

Stop being so sensible and level headed Rusti.... :hehe: :love:

You are not allowed to quote the tabloids if you are discussing Meghan....:laugh:

:laugh:

Of course he can....and what a nice gesture it was of the two of them...thing is it wasnt just the two of them...he invited a film crew to record it and photographers....a deliberate swipe at the Monarchy.

That's a very cynical view to have, maybe as an ex army member and (ex?) Royal, he wanted to make sure the Public knew he was still honouring the Day and paying his respects, maybe that was important to him. Why would it be a swipe at the Monarchy? What skin is it off their nose if he lays a wreath elsewhere?

Yes, and not just a photographer - a fashion photographer who captured Meg tramping over the graves in her stilettos. The whole debacle was universally criticized for the tackiness, but I'm sure it will be seen as a lovely selfless gesture by her fans. :shrug:

I'm not a "fan" whatever that means btw. How can you even be a fan of what are basically socialites (I include the other Royals in that too) I just think the woman gets a lot of undue scrutiny and criticism

Oh believe me she has rabid fans - have you never heard of the 'Sugars'. They are known for being poisonous, giving out death threats and such. :rolleyes:
I think they are mostly teenagers though.

I've only ever seen that word on here, you've mentioned it before.
