Cherie asked for examples of forum members accusing Meghan of having Harry under some kind of control. That's what he provided.

You seem to always ignore the context of comments.

Everything we know about the Royal family comes via documentaries, Reporters and what we see with our own eyes.

Don't waste your time Rusticgal. Marsh basically parrots the same thing in every post. Its a bore.

So arrogant is she that she thinks she can come to a new country, skulk off and then lecture their citizens from afar on where they have gone wrong and tell them how to do better. Her arrogance is astounding. Then she cries victimisation when she gets criticised.

Again, you’re so blinded by your own irrational hatred you fail to understand what is being said to you and once again go off on another tirade of irrational nonsense.

There's so much irrational hatred of Meghan and to pretend that it isn't mostly because of racism is just plain deluded.

Also, you're not judging her on her actions, you're judging her on carefully picked articles that appeal to your confirmation bias, you only listen to gossip that suits your idea of who she is and you disregard anything that doesn't fit that narrative. That's unhealthy as **** because you aren't living in the real world when you do that, you're living in a carefully edited version of reality that you desperately wish to be true.

You want Meghan to be this big bad supervillain you can hate when she's just a person living her life. I think you've honestly lost sight of that, you've forgotten she's an actual person and not just a character in the stories you like to read about her.

The level of hatred you have for her, the obsession, it's not normal.

Also, you didn't manage to refute what I said, you just responded defensively against it.

How can admin and mods continue to allow this personal abuse towards one member is disgusting.

Using the same words over and over that I addressed In banning the smilie thread.

Obsessed

Hatred

There will be legal implications if this continues and this is not a threat but a promise

Sort this **** out mods..its the same people hurling disgusting accusations at fellow members all the time...admittedly they are down playing the insults on here and keeping the juicier and more abhorrent name calling for other sites but it's still bad.

This thread is a joke. There isn't a single post where any member has shown an "unnatural hate" for Meghan. Some people don't like her .... shock horror. It's not a crime

The only irrational and obsessive behaviour on this thread is the support of Meghan and Harry from left leaning supporters

How dare anyone poke fun at the Royals

where were they when we all laughed at Pippa's bottom upstaging Kate at her wedding, thank heavens that didn't happen to Megs

The opening post of this thread roughly stated a fact.
The press had treated Meghan as inappropriately as they did Princess Diana.

That's pretty much undeniable when you compare in similar scenarios, the comparisons of Kate's headlines as opposed to Meghan's.

There's good contributions all through on this thread and along with others, Ammi and Dezzy have highlighted the strongest points in as fair and reasoned way as possible.

Even in the midst of less kindly made points towards Meghan.

I never understand such intense dislike for someone none on here have likely met.


However, I agree with all who have contributed who say Meghan has had the race issue used against her in the media reporting.
She has had a disproportionate unfair amount of negative and unjustified criticism too.

The Royals are people too, performing and living their lives under almost constant scrutiny of a negative press, a press that thrives on creating unnecessary division as to the Royals, also too on most other issues in the Country too.

I only see things from the actual press, when they're posted on here.
I wouldn't soil my hands with a paper, they long ago stopped being ' news ' papers.

Their distortion and lies and side taking whether fairly or unfairly, now really nauseous, and never in my view to be trusted.

The Royal lives are as mixed up as any other lives possibly mixed up as to the rest of the population.
There are characters, those seeming to do things by the book and those rebellious too.

It's not reasons to develop personal intense possible dislike or full negativity to an individual.

People are blaming Meghan for controlling Harry and changing him it seems from her own manipulative ways.

Harry has chosen Meghan..
It's clear to all surely, he is besotted with her, the pride when he showed his son to the public clear too.

Their marriage is their affair.
Harry, I doubt could be controlled any way he didn't want to.
I think he still is troubled at the tragic loss of his Mother.
He has jumped in to protect his chosen wife and child from what HE likely sees as too much pressure from press intrusion.
Along with cruel unnecessary negativity too, to his now chosen wife and Mother of his child.

I again say.
Good luck to them all in their lives.
I hope they find more understanding and peace from the negativity, than has been evident in the gutter press of this Country.

Left leaning supporters???

Do the left ever do anything right for you may I politely ask.

If you think only those politically on the left line Meghan, you are way out.

Furthermore.
I'm on the left.
I consider Kate to be one of the best additions to the Royal family ever.
So there's someone from the left, who rates Kate.

I actually like both, as Ammi does too.
They are different with their own styles.

Frankly, I find this constant putting down of those on the left pathetic, I've had that for years on here in really personal insulting ways too.

Where does the branding in relation to the Royals even need to be an issue.
Just asking, very politely.
Treading very carefully on what I say.

Left and right like the Royals.
Left and right don't too.
Those with no leanings left or right, like and don't like the Royals too.

So why just single out ''those on the left'.
