That's an awful lot of faith in the general public, most people can't remember what they had for lunch yesterday. Really, the truth is;
1) Most people don't know about this at all because most people don't really care about the Royal dramas, and 2) At least half of those who do know about this will have forgotten there was a court case at all in a year or two - let alone the details. Because all of it only matters to those it matters to. Last edited by user104658; 03-12-2021 at 11:16 AM. |

I think you are very wrong. A lot of people have little interest in the Royal Family in general...however as individuals they can have a huge following. Diana is the greatest example...they loved her because of who she was not because she was part of the Royal Family. Likewise Meghan has created a following...but for all the wrong reasons. Unlike Diana she is hugely disliked in this country. |

![]() People who liked H&M before the "omg court liiiieeess" still like them. People who disliked them before have something new to crow about and still dislike them. People who didn't care before don't care now. that's the long and short of it.

PIERS MORGAN: Put your gloating champagne away, Princess
Pinocchio - the court of public opinion now knows you're a fork-tongued devious manipulative piece of work who only wants to protect your privacy so you can sell it ![]() 'If you tell the truth,' Mark Twain once observed, 'you don't have to remember anything.' I thought of this incontrovertible truism today when news broke that Meghan Markle had 'won' her privacy court battle with the Mail on Sunday. Her victory response was issued within seconds, on regal notepaper adorned with a gold 'M' under a golden crown, and headlined: 'Statement from Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.' Obviously everything I have drafted is with the understanding that it could be leaked,' she texted Jason Knauf, then her communications secretary, 'so I have been meticulous in my word choice, but please do let me know if anything stands out for you as a liability.' Indeed, she was so convinced the letter might be published that she even deliberately used certain words to manipulate the public's emotions when they read it. Knauf told the court: 'She also asked a specific question regarding addressing Mr Markle as 'daddy' in the letter, saying 'given I've only ever called him daddy it may make sense to open as such (despite him being less than paternal), and in the unfortunate event that it leaked it would pull at the heart-strings'.' Wow. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...Pinocchio.html |

Yes you are right in what you say....but there are an awful lot of people like myself who DID like her but opinions changed because of the things she has done...probably more so than the examples you have given. |

Note that the argument here isn't "no one who used to like her dislikes her now" - it's that these "lies to the court" have made no real difference no matter how hard some people wish they would. |

Even her biggest sycophant, Susannah Ried, admitted on air last week that it was getting harder and harder to defend her anymore. |
