I've had a look round today and I can't see what's she's done to annoy.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think she's done anything wrong, they should leave them both alone.

coz it sells noozepapers 3T

[jno]

no idea, what have they been saying? All I've seen has been pretty unexceptionable and unabusive, but it looks as though I've missed a lot.

[mushroom25]

and she's divorced. blimey, people have been thrown out of the family for less....

Whoever Harry paired up with would be treated the same I feel. He can't win.

[naomi24]

I haven’t seen anything terrible written about her, but that said media mania is to be expected. It’s what the media does with people in the public eye. What the media doesn't know it makes up and no one should be surprised or shocked by that - including Prince Harry. He knows the score.

[andy-hughes]

I think all points are equally, and sadly, accurate.

Princess Katherine has escaped largely unscathed (so far!) - her only steer in the direction of something that would frighten the horses is having some unauthorised topless photos printed abroad.

Ms. Markle on the other hand has the temerity to be - in no particular order -
an activist (some could stop right there, that's enough!!!)

a divorcee (that could mop up the rest, and we can all go home!!!!!!)

mixed race

Jewish

a purveyor or 'raunchy' - how 1970's is that phrase! - scenes (they're not really, I know I've seen all of them)

may be interested in Prince Harry

breathes in and out

has a face on the front of her head

and so on and so on.

I just hope that she is not put off Harry by the fact that he comes with the ball and chain of a nasty sleezy conniving lying intrusive brutal uncaring immoral national media around his neck.

I think it could just be down to jealousy. She is attractive. Many people might feel that Harry is punching above weight, so have to comment about her. That or all the reasons Andy-Hughes mentioned.

andy-hughes, //I just hope that she is not put off Harry by the fact that he comes with the ball and chain of a nasty sleezy conniving lying intrusive brutal uncaring immoral national media around his neck. //

Speak for yourself! Good grief!

There's not a lot anyone can say about her being divorced at least. Charles was divorced, as was Anne, and Andrew - not forgetting Camilla of course.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - I only ever speak for myself, surely you know that by now.

[andy-hughes]

Cliverjo - I think her physical attraction doesn't help - I recall similar jibes being made when Charles took up with Diana, although to be fair, even he developed a planet-sized sulk when she morphed from a shy Sloane into a mind-watering beauty that the entire planet fancied.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, In that case don’t include the rest of the nation in your assessment of yourself.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - I have no idea what you are talking about.

Please don't bother to explain.

[douglas9401]

Newspapers do at least serve the double purpose of delivering something for the hard of thinking to drool over while simultaneously mopping up the dribbles and stray food particles for easy disposal.

It must be a slow week for the media and they have to use "Filler" Stories to pad out the news so as not to bore some of us to death with constant Hilary/Trump stories.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, no trouble at all. You tell me you’re involved in the media but I’d dispute that the whole of the national media is as you describe. That's a pretty spiteful statement you made.

[hereIam]

Anyway, I'm STILL jealous !

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - I don't 'tell you' anything of the sort - that infers that you and I have had discussions about my writing - clearly we have not, since you opinion is merely that I 'scratch around for money'.

I am not involved with the mainstream media, and my 'spiteful' - I would say honest, where the Royals are concerned - observation is one very good reason why I am not.
