But they are adamant they never read social media about them....and I would never post anything derogatory about anyone on it anyway even if I was on it, which I'm not. People seem to read social media sites, get angry and come here and take it out on members.

The stifling of freedom of speech and expression is attempted here, by people telling others how they should act, think and feel and being treated with negativity and hostility and name calling because some don't like her as they do. They complain about the treatment poor Meghan gets but don't mind dishing it out themselves, (not you, by the way!) If people are posting within the rules it should not be allowed, but is.

....and really, they could escape any hostility by not putting themselves out there every other day with some lawsuit or drama or preachy hypocritical lecture or other. 'Do as I do!'
Plenty of celebs live their lives privately and do good works without having to tell the world what they are doing, having photographers on tap for their 10 minute charity runs and how they are going to save us all every 5 minutes.
Look at us! Look! They really bring it on themselves.

They'll make up whatever suits them to put out there on Oprah. Obviously.

Did you see the outrage and entitlement of people when they didn't immediately show pictures of newborn Archie? Couldn't imagine how they'd act if they kept an entire pregnancy a secret.

You're dead right there Jordan.

Interested to hear what you would have liked them to do though since you seemingly have an issue with them announcing anything publicly

[Ammi]

...they’re not ‘putting themselves out there’ by publicly announcing a pregnancy...which is fairly much what most celebrities do...in whatever way they choose to do it, with a pic or without a pic...they’re announcing something very special and sharing their news, they’re not opening themselves up for hostility ....and if they feel as though any media are in any way infringing on their privacy, then a legal action is their right and a well used right against the tabloid media, a win for everyone because many have their privacies intruded on quite ruthlessly and completely slant...they both have special interests and charities etc and they can’t support those so effectively without raising awareness and it’s what their charities would hope for...so they’ll always be high profile people ...when they do release family pics, of course they’ll choose their own photographer...one whose work they admire plus who they’re happy and comfortable to be around ...we would all want that and we would all do that...none of those things are hypocritical nor are they inviting hostility...but I’m sure they’ve accepted that they get that anyway and that’s never going to change...but they don’t put themselves out there for what they appear to get...they just want to have some control over their own lives, which every single one of us would hope ....

...you’ve already condemned them so any type of ‘reasoning’ would seem pointless with a fixed mindset of ‘they’ll make up whatever suits...’...it’s impossible for them ever to ‘do right’ if they’ve already been judged to do wrong before they’ve said their first word...

If you are replying to my post, I didn't mention the announcement of the pregnancy as an example of them putting themselves out there, because I don't think that at all, please don't put words into my mouth. And please don't see that as hostility again because that is how I would say it to anyone.

But anyway, you see it your way, and others see it theirs, which should be fine and accepted as such....

[Parmy]

So if they dont read social media stuff about themselves.wtf they doing posting on it..that stinks of self absorbed entitlement to me.

[Good King Glennceslas]

So much nastiness towards this beautiful couple and their growing family.

No, but I'm sure like anyone they will want to present themselves in a good light, as would anyone, so I wouldn't be gullible enough to hang on their every word as gospel. Would you?

...you speak your own words very well indeed, no one needs to put any there for you...as I said, they’ve already been condemned before any word is spoken from them and that’s not ever going to be open because it’s too decided and fixed...

...and yet so much in any negative light doesn’t appear to have to be ‘gospel’, strangely...but is believed because a bias is already formed... ..different lights have different judgements and sways and flows...anyways, I’m not indulging in anymore time in what these threads seem to become in their excessive ‘Meghan and Harry bashing’ ...they’re two people who are trying to live their lives and are becoming parents again, it’s wonderful news ....that I’m sure you’ll agree...
