...I think sadly she has been bullied by the media and in turn, by some public as well with the constant negative comments on masse...and whatever it’s felt her character is...?...whether accurate or not or what measure of accuracy...what she’s had aimed against her is far, far worse...they’ve essentially fled for some peace and still they aren’t getting any...

I don't personally dislike Meghan (again im anti-royal so by default i'll always be sceptical), but some of hers and Harry's behaviour has every right to be questioned. The "it's because she's black" argument is probably true for some, but not as many as people like to make out. It would hard for anyone to deny that she's a beautiful looking woman.

But the irrational avalanche of abuse she has received is not compatible to anything she has done or said.

If there's anything the Brits and the British press love more than anything is to build someone up just to know them down and vilify them. And it's been done with a lot of racism, classism, xenophobia and sexism on the whole.

Like many celebs have, doesn't make it right, but it's the nature of the beast. We have every right to judge. Actual hatred (which does happen) is silly though.

The last paragraph, i agree with. And also done with a mob like mentality, spearheaded by the media.

I read the Royal Correspondents articles in the Mail or Times when they appear.
Online. That is all.
Its up to you and your level of intelligence now....

As I said before, repeating yourself ad nauseam does not make a valid argument.

You rely on tabloids, we've established that, and that is the end of the matter.

If you can bother to explain what relevance that has to the topic, happily.

I've a feeling you won't though.

No problem. Its relevant to how you take in information from others and process it. You seem immature? Nothing wrong with that btw, we were all immature once.

Lol...that’s just the point. She isn’t being hounded. Sadly negative reports here and there are being seen as being hounded.
Now Diana was hounded by the press because she was loved and everyone wanted to read about her...that’s the real tragedy.

Seeking out decent articles and coming across them occasionally online in links and either ignoring or considering them post worthy are 2 different things.

Saying you "only seek out articles by Royal correspondents online" was a lie no matter how you're trying to rephrase it now.



What's your age? I'd hazard a guess significantly older than Meghan Markle.

Links to some of these negative stories please? I might be able to refute or verify some of them by referring to the Royal correspondents usually knowledgeable assessments.
Thanks.

Meghan receives some bad press and negative stories this does not equate to hounding. They are not chasing her quite literally like they did Diana...they don’t want anything from her like they did Diana. She and Harry quit the Royal family for a quiet life...if you keep putting yourself out there for publicity then expect it..good or bad.
In response to the OP...they don’t compare in the terms of ‘hounding’.
