i couldn't care too much about Meghan, but i also do not hate her myself


as for Harry, well only thing i like about him is his work regarding invictus games, how he's adored by many military with disability and/or trauma


i for one haven't watched the oprah interview, since i don't care


but don't come for slagging off Oprah, whom i personally adore, she has proven to be a great actress (the color purple) but also a wonderful talk show host, interviewer


i mean Oprah is the queen of talk show, but nowadays Kelly Clarkson is also doing quite well as interviewer/talk show princess, whom had a quite important/high profile interview recently either, with first lady Jill Biden

Kate attending Wimbledon has absolutely NOTHING to do with a discussion that raises the question of how the monarchy amassed its vast wealth. That really long post is just embarrassing given the context.

....thank you, Marsh...my post was completely relevant, in engaging the Royal family as a comparison for ‘extreme wealth’...’anti royal’ had no place at all in the discussion...it was a random and unnecessary post...

I don't recall saying that? Remind me, I haven't time to go back and look just now.

Its insulting to people who do struggle every day with mental health issues

utterly shameful lies imo

It’s disgusting having visited my mum in a secure mental facility as a child when they were literally prisons and later on as an adult going into a secure mental unit to visit someone you know what it’s really like to see people in a zombie like state because of the strong drugs they are pumping in them to try to stop them hurting themselves or others

I don’t believe for one second Meghan ever had any real thoughts about killing herself

[thesheriff443]

When you get to the stage that you consider killing your self it’s not a case of wanting help it’s a case of you need help because you will try and do it

There is a big difference between feeling down and being clinically depressed and having a chemical imbalance in the brain

Yeah because the Royals haven't prove themselves to be completely archaic before.

How sad you had to go through that...they really are not nice places and as a child it must have been traumatising.

Too many similarities with Diana for my liking...mental health/suicidal thoughts whilst pregnant/hounded by the press...etc etc etc.

Another ludicrous comment.

"Meghan didn't have mental health struggles or suicidal thoughts because... well she's alive and not locked up like a zombie being pumped full of drugs"

You are not the expert on somebody else's life experiences and state of mind.

THAT's what's disgusting. You assessing her life without knowing a thing about it. It is not for YOU to assess her mental health, you DO NOT know her.

Well I take it back. They deserve to inherit the 100s of millions their ancestors stole.

That's what Megs said before she bolted.

That list covers 2 years as well.

If any working parent actually wrote what they did every day it would be a lot longer to be honest and they don't have an army of servants and drivers to assist. I'm not belittling what the Royals do but any working parent does the same and don't get to have as many tasty dinners

Exactly. To use it as a reason they deserve their inherited millions is just.... naive.

I doubt many parents have to be 'on' so much though, or do so much reading up all the time on who they are going to see - it must be exhausting.
