Meghan Markle

[thesshhh]

When is someone (ideally it should be her husband) finally going to stand up to this woman and say “No!”? https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1150909/Meghan-markle-news-latest-Wimbledon-duchess-of-sussex-duke-of-sussex-royal-baby-Archie Her monstrous ego and demands are totally out of control

ymb// Like I say why haven't the Royal family given her training?//
She is an individual, not a puppet.I am quite sure that if the Queen was not satisfied with her behaviour she would tell her.

There's nothing wrong with asking people to be discreet when taking pictures but she does come across as a bit of a diva. If she and Harry want to retain popularity and the goodwill of the public - both important to the jobs they do - they need to tread warily otherwise people will just get fed up with them and I doubt they’ll be happy with that either. As much as they'd like it their lives can’t be entirely private. They're part of 'the firm'.

I don't think knowing the godparents is in our interests at all. Almost certainly none of us would have even heard of them. Harry and Meghan are very much off to the side Royals anyway.

[spathiphyllum]

"but she does come across as a bit of a diva"

Aye, but is this due to how the media are portraying her and the situation, or is she actual a bit of a diva? Either way, it comes across that way.

Prudie...what have the "godparents" got to do with this thread?.....;-)

[Bigbad]

I do not understand the need for a photo or autograph of someone just because they are in the public eye. Whether they are a Z-lister or a member of the royal family.
What do people do with these photographs. Bore others with them?
Get them framed and hung on the wall?
Whatever they do with them, I think it makes them a bit of a saddo.

Perhaps when people stop referring to her by her maiden name. I don't believe a word of what I read or hear unless it's first hand. Too many people like to spread rumours and gossip and make a story when there isn't one. As in the heading "I don't trust Eamonn " turned out Ruth didn't trust him to load the washing machine!!

[Prudie]

Only as an aside sqad because the papers have been full of outrage at their insistence that the godparents were being kept a secret. Another example of them not toeing the line.

[Prudie]

And Spath said it was in our interests. My answer was to him really.

[Sqad]

Prudie.

"Only as an aside sqad"

A bit "on the side" is always appreciated.......;-)

[bednobs]

I wonder when someone is going to tell you what a bitter old bat you sound. Dunno why your husband hasn't, actually. he really ought to put you in your place

[ummmm]

Lol Bednobs.

[Butterbun]

Another 'bash Meghan Markle' thread. :-( These newspapers twist the truth because it sells their papers.

[Paigntonian]

Still seething about the 2.4million taxpayers' bill for a roof. Don't suppose she couldn't get her gold visa card out?

[retrocop]

I don't think Piers is very impressed. Freebie Tennis in Royal box etc. Lol

She should take a leaf out of William and Kates book, or Zara and Mike Tindall, they get on with their lives without all of this diva behaviour! If she is willing to take the public money to fund her home and lifestyle, then she must accept that she is public property. One day Harry will wake up to the fact that she is a diva, at the moment he is blinded by love and still in the 'honeymoon period', it won't last!!!

[andy-hughes]

theshhh - What we all need to remember is that every single piece of information about the Royal Family, every SINGLE piece, comes from the media, whose job it is to sell papers.

If you look at it from that point of view, which makes more sense in terms of exciting the public and selling papers - the princess popped along to support her good friend playing a tennis match, and said nothing to anyone about anything to anyone, or a royal aide 'demanded that no-one took her picture', making her look like a pompous diva, in keeping with the media need to churn out endless 'reports' to make her look controlling and generally unpleasant.

We have the word of someone who sat near her, and instantly felt the need to tell the Telegraph, who equally instantly felt the need to tell everyone else, so we could all be outraged by this awful behaviour.

From your post, this has clearly succeeded, you are outraged by something unproven, from an anonymous source, which clearly chimes with your dislike of the Duchess.

But the actual fact is, you know nothing whatsoever about any of the Royals, except what the media tells you, and they have an agenda to promote, and this is them doing it.

The Duchess may be an utter pain to be with, but I would never believe it simply because an unidentified 'media consultant' (who instantly consulted the media!!!) said something negative about her, and probably got a fee for doing so.

I am sure Prince Harry is waiting impatiently to take on your negative sniping advice about the woman to whom he is married - especially since you wouldn't actually know her from a hole in the ground!

The future Queen has not found it necessary to draw attention to herself by issuing such demands when she is in the Royal Box nor does she have all the surrounding seats empty. Mrs Sussex needs to understand how lowly her position in the royal hierarchy is.

zebo - // The future Queen has not found it necessary to draw attention to herself by issuing such demands when she is in the Royal Box nor does she have all the surrounding seats empty. //

There is no credible evidence that the Duchess has issued any 'demands' - that is the spin put on what may or may not have occurred, by a national newspaper keen to stir up antipathy - and clearly it works, which is why they keep on doing it.

Let's not forget that this self-same media facilitated the nonsensical obsession with photographs of the late Princess Diana, which indirectly led to her death - whereupon the media instantly changed its position from rapacious hunter of images to sanctimonious guardian of the nation's grief - within hours of the accident.

You trust their motives for this nonsense if you wish, I simply enjoy ignoring it.
