Is it okay to put family first? (Response to royal family stuff)

[RedAngie]

To my taste it's kind of horrible actually (so is Archie) but I suppose it could be worse. At least the Royal Family has never gone trendy with the names so we don't have to roll eyes over a Prince Jaxon or Princess Neveah.

I think I rolled my eyes (or at least raised my eyebrows) when Beatrice and Eugenie were named.

I rolled my eyes more at the outfits and hats they wore at William and Catherine's wedding

I loved their quirky hats!

I totally agree. Just because the names are traditional doesn't mean they have to be hideous. I heard an interview with Sarah Ferguson once where she mentioned that nobody anywhere pronounced Eugenie correctly. They would explain it rhymes with "use your knee", not You-jeanie.

Those were classic outfits.

Wow just heard the interview with Oprah will be shown 7th March THE DAY BEFORE THE COMMONWEALTH service just another way to show disrespect

 

[LuvOrlando]

Meghan must be head over heels to put up with what she's putting up with, she is beautiful and could have had anyone and tied herself to a hornets nest, there is no win for her here. Seems David v Goliath just like what happened with Diana and it's so sad. I really hope the swarm leaves them alone soon

That's interesting.
As the interview was filmed before them stepping down, and before having to give back their charities, including being president & vice president of the Commonwealth Youth Ambassadors. I wondered how they had pictured this? According to the media they had tried to keep the Oprah interview a secret and it only came out because CBS asked ITV for the Bradby interview. Was their plan really to have it aired on the 7th and then on the 8th say via Zoom (I assume they would attend the ceremony via Zoom or something "So, did you watch CBS last night?".
The deadline for the Megxit was the 31st of March.

Meghan had two long relationships with handsome men before Harry, men with good, interesting, in a way influential careers. Only nothing like marrying a British prince.
One of her ghosted friends wrote in her biography one of Meghan's aims to come to the UK was to find a famous Brit for her next relationship. "Do you know any famous guys? I’m single and I really love English men."
About that hornets nest, that's what her British friends had warned her for. With that in mind, being in her mid thirties, having seen the world, knowing what has happened to Diana, she must be incredibly in love, naive or calculating to get into this relationship.

I think there is a lot to win for Meghan, but it's a dangerous game she is playing. The Oprah interview can jump start her career in the US, which wouldn't have happened if she hadn't married Harry, or it can be a disaster.
If it is a success then within a year or two their charity and media company will be huge. And then we will see if the rumors are true that Meghan has the ambition to have a political career / become a US president. If it's a disaster... then at least they have each other?

Wasn't there a report from early on in their relationship where she had apparently said she didn't know who Prince Harry was?

If that's true, I don't believe it for one minute. Its not like Harry is one of the lesser known royals like say Princess Margaret's or Princess Anne's sons. Google would have been her friend

Her ghosted best friend from childhood and maid of honour at her first wedding said in an interview that Meghan owned a copy of "Diana, her true story" and loved stories like The Princess Diaries about commoners becoming princesses. This makes it hard to believe that she didn't know Harry. Maybe due to her work on Suits she didn't have time to keep up with the British royal family and didn't recognize him. That I might believe.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5137785/Meghan-Markle-revelations-friend-knew-best.htmlFor those who doubted about the love of the public for Meghan, this interview is from 2017, six months before the wedding. It's interesting to see how in the comment section the people protect Meghan and accuse the friend of getting her 15 minutes of fame.

She may have a pretty face but her soul...not so much.

Are you talking about a different Meghan to the rest of us?
I think the only person she is "head over heels " with is herself.

I though something along the same lines. To suggest that of the two of them, she was the catch, is laughable.

I am far from a "watcher" and wouldn't argue with those who aspire to that sort of this but to me she seems like a biracial mom who is getting slammed because she won't "Sit still, look pretty."

Can't imagine why anyone would want any part of whatever happens when people get pulled into that vortex, seems scary to me. I remember when people were grilling the co-stars about her romantic history, just icky. Also, her dad and Britney's dad must be besties, it's all so unseemly.

Folks bent over backwards for Meghan. She had issues before she married Harry and she hasn't improved with age. She trashes anyone who doesn't fawn over her and do her bidding then cancels them.

It's interesting when someone with no knowledge on a topic weighs in anyway. It's kinda cute, actually.

 

[PaulaSB12]

Now it turns out they want to be part of the queens platinum jubilee next year what happened to the privacy they said they want red?

Which is basically what every single poster here is doing - so why point this out?

I do not have so much a problem with them attending the jubilee or in the future with Charles and/or William's coronation. These are events where family should be able to join, but then they should be there as 'family' not 'royal family'. As in attending the events as guests, not on the balcony or other prime places.
I can imagine it is a logistical problem where to put them, they have over a year to figure that out. And who knows what has happened in the meantime.

 

[PaulaSB12]

They want to be on the balcony and any other prime places. Remember Meghan is the one who announced at Eugenie's WEDDING RECEPTION to announce she was pregnant. If you are that much of an attention wh*re then you will make a complete show if you are allowed back on the balcony
