For me even if I don't like the person very much (like Corbyn for example) I'll still defend the person if the Media is attacking them beyond what they've said or done, and that will include Meghan in this particular case as her biggest crime is that she's an ego maniac apparently, by the Royal Family standards that's quite tame.

Hi Mock, you have alway been a very fair and nice poster - I like reading your posts.

If don’t read rags but if they blatantly make up stuff about Meghan that isn’t true, surely she would sue? Herself and Harry seem to have no scruples in that regard.
I suppose what the rags do is exaggerate certain things and put a negative spin on it, thats what sells isn’t it, people read it so…..but there will be kernels of truth in there too.
It happens to all prominent public figures - the royal family are particularly good at just ignoring because then it dies a death and its someone else’s turn.

So I really haven’t read anything awful about Meghan beyond what she has actually said and done, just fair assessments by Royal Correspondents and insiders about certain things which have happened which are now known to be accurate. Royal correspondents can’t risk spreading lies or they would no longer get insider info and their job would be gone.

The general consensus between insiders is that Meghan and Harry making a fuss about criticism was deliberate, (not that anyone wants criticism but they used it to their advantage)) - they knew that portraying themselves as victims would give them sympathy and an ‘out’ because they had no intention of staying in the UK - they planned to get to LA early on in their marriage. It was discovered that they were putting things in place way back when and the way they broke the news of their leaving the royal family was sneaky and underhand..
So yes, the media can be cruel, but celebs also need them and use them when it suits....a dysfunctional relationship!
