Again, I'm not here to do your research for you when you love telling us how well versed you are on all the facts.

Go beyond the Daily Mail and you will see.
I was I who who said there was only one that I knew of - the one about her fathers letter which also covers 'her treatment by the press'. You then said there were others. It's all here in black and white.
Still waiting for the info on the 'several others' you claim to know about.

Prince Andrew was all over the papers after his disastrous tv interview. He was slaughtered. Since then, he has been rightly ‘sacked’ by the Queen from representing her in any way, so he hasn’t been out there and there is nothing to report. He definitely needs to be investigated and questioned by the FBI to ascertain exactly what part he played in the scandal.

If and when that happens, or if something else comes out, it will be all over the papers again, without doubt!

I don’t think they are ‘using’ Meghan to cover up for Andrew, Mock. She hasn’t been in the press recently at all as far as I am aware except for the updates about the court case which SHE brought. Of course the media are going to report on that, why wouldn’t they?

Little point imo because he has shown us all what a liar he is and I think everybody knows his guilt. Andrew got slaughtered in the press before and after his 'interview'. He didnt take the papers to court and whinge about not being 'protected'.
Then we have his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson...harmless but her behaviour was embarassing at times. She got slaughtered by the press too for her weight/dress sense and general behaviour....but she didnt go seeking damages...she didnt call out the Royal family for not protecting her. She took it on the chin..she lost weight got divorced and was snubbed at family gatherings despite being the mother of the Queens grandchildren...
...and poor Meghan thinks shes been poorly treated...
Well said.

...just a nice, positive Meghan and Harry story as representatives of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust tackling racism and equality...it’s quite a long read and a 20 minute video discussion if anyone is interested, I’ll leave it here...




‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have said people will feel “uncomfortable” as racism and unconscious bias is challenged across the Commonwealth in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The royal couple joined representatives from the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (QCT), which they are still president and vice president of, despite stepping back as senior royals, to discuss justice and equal rights.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been having conversations with community leaders throughout the US in the wake of the death of George Floyd, which has sparked renewed calls and pressure for equality around the world.

On Wednesday, they spoke to some young leaders in the QCT network, in one of the trust’s weekly discussions.

The group talked about Floyd’s death as a turning point, discussing how people can be allies in the quest for greater equality.

Meghan said: “We’re going to have to be a little uncomfortable right now, because it’s only in pushing through that discomfort that we get to the other side of this and find the place where a high tide raises all ships.

“Equality does not put anyone on the back foot, it puts us all on the same footing – which is a fundamental human right.”...

...the rest of the report plus the video...

That’s right Cherie, I was.
What a nice time that was for the Royal family and the country amid all the doom and gloom. A beautiful mixed race woman marrying into the Royal family and at last they were going to be representative of our more multi racial society. Harry had found someone at last, a more mature lady who seemed willing and more than able to take it all on and make him happy.
I remember our whole family and the next door neighbours all sitting down together to watch the wedding. The little girl next door brought in fairy cakes she baked (with help from Mum) with little Union Jacks flags on. Us lads with our six packs of Heineken and the ladies back and forth to the kitchen with their array of cocktails. Lovely…..

Then it all went pear shaped. Turned out she wasn’t Duchess material, couldn’t take the criticism that Diana, Fergie and Kate had put up with (even though Harry himself said he had warned her over and over that she would get it), didn’t give it a fair go, wanted things all her own way, blamed everyone but herself and bolted back to celeb land as soon as she could. What a disappointment she turned out to be.

Interesting to see how many people on that thread you linked were rooting for her then and aren't any more....

It's called an opinion. Give your own opinion to counter mine if you wish, the thread isn't about me.

I think you’ll find it’s an assumption not an opinion you have.

It’s an assumption because you don’t know her and only know her through the tabloids you read to form your assumptions about her.

You don't know her either sunshine. You never have an actual opinion, you just give the impression you think she's an angel who can do no wrong and that gives you the right to insult other posters.

I do really worry about Harry. I just can’t see him settling in LA and being happy there. I think he did it to please Meghan because it was what she wanted, as he has said ‘what Meghan wants, Meghan gets’. I fear he is on a path of self destruction - I hope I’m wrong.
He has left everything he has ever known - his family, his friends, his charities, a life where everything was laid on for him. He isn’t on good terms with William anymore, when pre - Meghan they were so close.

He was a troubled, headstrong teenager who transformed into a respected soldier and campaigner for wounded veterans. He was a charming, smiley guy who was adored by the public.
I remember Diana saying that Harry wasn't the 'spare', he was going to be the 'second in command'.
All that is gone now. Whenever he appears he looks so serious and sullen and often angry, he has lost weight and looks drawn.

He and Meghan have signed up to a speech giving agency which promises fees of a million a speech. What is he going to talk about? How many times can he talk about how the death of his mother affected him - will that be seen as cashing in on her death? Will he talk about mental health? He’s not an expert and he’s not that bright. The speeches will soon dry up.

What will he do then? How long before the pair of them fade into obscurity among the ‘me me me’ egos of the LA rich and famous?
This idea that he and Meghan and Archie have escaped to have a wonderful life in LA is a fantasy imo. Meghan got what she wanted - but is it really what Harry wanted? I hope it works out - for his sake.

I get what you're saying, it's just to me the Media does come across as more obsessed with Meghan, Harry, and Kate's behaviour than they are Andrew's.

Good post. I too was pleased for Harry and Meghan seemed a together young woman, attractive and independent....and I’m with you on how it turned around.
I would like Harry to be happy....but I can’t see him being happy surrounded by the rich and famous in LA....he always came across more humble and not one to be impressed with all that fakeness and who knows who drama. He may prove me wrong but I really see him regretting making that move...and I can’t see Meghan ever moving back here.
