hauxwell   243 #49 Posted March 10, 2021 I’ve just read that Megan Markle made a formal complaint to Good Morning Britain about Piers Morgan after he said he didn’t believe a word of her interview. It looks as though a large part of her time is going to be spent taking on the tabloids and TV shows that criticise anything she says.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't understand why they couldn't have resolved things quietly, internally between family members. Then had they still decided to split, come to some amicable arrangement and parted company on good terms (or as good as possible, considering) without getting in to a very public spat.

I think Harry has every right to feel aggrieved with the media after they hounded her to her death. I'd feel aggrieved as well.   Agreed, in as much as I know.  We were all happy for Harry to have found a woman he loves, that's not easy in his position, everything was fine at the wedding, aside from Camilla whispering to Catherine about the long speech Meghan's choice of vicar was giving, then Meghan becomes pregnant and after the baby was born, bearing in mind she was on maternity leave, they couldn't get out of the news, too much pressure particularly at that time, Harry must have been worried that the press was in overload, then last year she lost her baby - no wonder she wanted to start trying for another child - I hope everything goes well for them.

Anyone who likes a quiet life and enjoys their privacy doesn't go into TV & Movies and then marry a Royal Prince. She may be an actress but she doesn't fool me. What a self seeking waste of space. Glad she's in America but surprised at Harry. I agree but don't be fooled by Harry he is just the same.... Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Megan said in her interview how much she loved being with the Queen. Out of respect for the Queen and taking her age into consideration, as you say she could have tried to resolve things quietly and got on with her new life in America instead of giving the Queen the stress of having to deal with the after affects of the interview.  Apart from the publicity Megan also might have wanted to find out who her friends are in America after the interview and it couldn’t have got any higher than the President when his press secretary came out and said the administration stands by her, or words to that affect.

They seem to be able to say what they like and cause enormous damage through insinuation and innuendo, or smear characters completely through a clever use of language and tone while still managing to stay just this side of the libel law. Edited March 10, 2021 by Anna B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pattricia   574 #55 Posted March 11, 2021 Why take part in a tv interview to air grievances? Strange when Harry said he wanted to get away from this country because of all the publicity that surrounded them both ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Exactly, she said she couldngo on holiday, turns out they had 13 holidays!, wonder if she'll slag these countries off on tv, one by one. Why didn't Harry say" come on love, aren't you going a bit over the top", but he's as bad, I'd tell him he can't come back, he's a traitor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

catmiss   12 #58 Posted March 12, 2021 I don’t know if the Royal family are racist-how can we know? a lot of ordinary people only express their true feelings with family or trusted friends. Buckingham Palace have to be very careful with their response for fear of further high profile, money making interviews from the estranged couple. It was obvious that a forthright, independent, straight talking American actress would struggle to fit in a to the British monarchy and, given Harry’s issues with the establishment, the outcome was inevitable. With a living to make  and axes to grind , dirty washing has been aired publicly and, as a result, Britain’s reputation has been damaged across the world at a time when trade negotiations are vital. I think we should be questioning the funding of a monarchy whose remit is to promote Britain but is actually bringing the country disrepute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
