They report the good and the bad. With Meghan, there is unfortunately a lot more negative stuff all of her own and Harry's (at times) making.
Why do trusted royal correspondences like Penny Junor, Richard Kay, Emily Andrews etc try to balance their views of her, yet it is clear they dislike aspects of her behaviour and distrust her?

True
Which is why most of the comments defending Meghans every move are so wrong - they are just brain dead parroting without any actual research.

Tbh if they want to work away from the royal family they should get nothing from them including security and what not.

But it's a kick in the teeth to taxpayers who paid millions for the wedding and jewellery and houses to then just be abandoned

It resulted from a social studies assignment that had Markle and her California classmates watching television commercials and assessing potentially implicit messages they sent. That's when the future royal’s advocacy spirit kicked in.

Markle noticed how one ad for a dishwashing detergent implied that women do all the cleaning.

“I don't think it's right for kids to grow up thinking these things — that just Mom does everything,” she says in the video clip. “It's always ‘Mom does this,’ and ‘Mom does that.’”


Well I'm sorry you feel like that..

As an old friend that has taken advice from yourself to heart and as someone that has felt that that advice has helped them during difficult times...Im dissapointed you now describe my actions as nasty...


Regarding the actual posts and discussion..I just saw ADVERT on the links.....and the words 11 year old


So instantly got negative for that I apologise

Overexaggeration. The jewellery are family heirlooms for a start.

Why are all the left wingers who hate the Royals suddenly so bothered about them....I doubt poor old Fergie got any support when she was being referred to as the Duchess of Pork

Yes, and to put out in their statement that they will keep Frogmore cottage as a base when in the UK without even asking the Queen first shows how arrogant and self entitled they are. It belongs to the Queen, dearies, and refurbished with OUR money.
They kindly say they will give up the sovereign grant (5% of their income) so they can be 'financially independant' which they are not allowed to do when getting that grant, and earn their own money - which is why they have trademarked hundreds of items from socks to hoodies. They can go for many other ventures like getting paid millions to give speeches like Blair and Cameron and millions more to attend glossy celeb galas.

But they assume they are keeping the 95% of their income from the Duchy of Cornwall and their high cost security, paid by the taxpayer, wihich is likely to double. WTF?

How tacky and arrogant can they get?

You brought Fergie into the discussion. Still none the wiser why.

Well, actually, I can guess why, but you haven't stated.

I don't know why people are up in arms about them living off, basically, their inheritance. That's why the Royals are rich, they all inherited it.

Conveniently glossing over the millions they have earned themselves, however.

I don't need to look it up. I think you need to do your research.

IMO, NOBODY bar a small margin of people in the world would deserve the type of press mauling the UK press are capable of.

But there's a vast difference between a backlash for something someone has done, and a tirade of abuse.... simply for existing.

Except they are. When people are asked why they have such negative feelings towards them they spout the headlines back at you.

From what I have read, Fergies initial crime was being fat and ginger

Well, obviously, that's not on. But the tirade of abuse didn't come until later when she got a backlash.

Not saying her backlash was justified, however there's a difference to the press turning on you due to your own actions (regardless of if the backlash was out of proportion) and the press just having it out for you from the off because you're clearly not wanted. This is a woman who can't touch her own stomach without it being construed into some outlandish scheme.
