Prince Harry & Meghan Rave thread

[orlyb1310]

So I never thought I’d ever be making a royal family related thread - I don’t particularly care about anything they do, but I feel like I’m the only person on this website who thinks that Meghan and Harry telling the truth? It seems absolutely how the all-white, ultra conservative royal family would treat an American WOC divorcee who has no connection to the royal family or aristocracy. The media has absolutely hounded her and made up blatant lies and she has every right to defend herself and drag every name through the mud. I don’t see why any of us need to have blind respect for a racist institution just because ‘ooh it’s the monarchy’. The queen doesn’t give a shit about any of us common folk, none of them do. I’m mainly watching the interview because it’s a bit of an iconic piece of pop culture but it’s so infuriating how people will dismiss absolutely everything she says. To me, nothing she’s saying is surprising and it’s fully the behaviour I’d expect from people who have probably never even washed their own dishes before.

I like them both too. Piers Morgan needs to get over his obsession with Meghan its ridiculous now. He seems unable to go a day without talking about her.

I find it strange that they are doing an investigation on Meghan bullying staff just before her tell all interview but no investigation into Andrew and the company he chooses to keep. The truth is they don't like her as she of mixed heritage and American.

I believe them. This is the same family who locked their disabled cousins away in an institution and pretended they were dead.

 

[Meh]

I’m fairly anti-monarchy but I truly believe Harry has did something the RF never thought possible: created his own life, on his terms and put two fingers up to the full classist, outdated and racist institution. IMO monarchy like the British version has no place in today’s society.

How can a WOC moving to America with her husband and baby, being open about infant loss and taking a tabloid rag through court for their lies be worthy of such hatred?

Anyone getting this upset needs to question if they have been as vocal about Andrew and the utter criminal predatory disgrace he is.

I’m not surprised about how they treated Meghan. I mean, we saw how Princess Diana was treated. I’m not even surprised that Prince Harry and Prince Charle’s relationship is strained. Prince Charles is a petty person as we all witnessed what he did to Princess Diana.

I don’t know them personally and I really don’t know much about Meghan, but I can’t imagine the stress she must have gone through with the constant press she got. She wasn’t received with a bouquet of flowers and open arms- the media criticized her like no other. They did the same shit to Kate but not to this level.

I truly wish them luck and hope they find their peace in all of this. If they are happy, let them be.

Thank you for starting this thread because I’d be a minority in the main thread about them. I genuinely like them both.

I've also been appalled by the treatment of Meghan and Harry and that it's largely fuelled by the colour of her skin. They don't have any impact on my life but it repulses me how much venom the British MSM seems to have such hatred for a woman who is the mother of young children.

I've had to have stern words with my mum spouting off about this. She was having a massive rant about their podcast of all things and I said that Kate had also done similar ventures.

Not watched the interview but planning to do so.

God so pleased someone has set up a rave thread - I went onto the other M&H thread and was actually disgusted by a lot of blatant racism and flippant comments being made.
I'm going to pre-face this by saying I actually don't really give a fuck about Meg or Harry. Prior to this I was pretty impartial about the both of them - I find neither particularly offensive or amazing.
I do however think the royal family is an old - fashioned, racist and problematic institution. Yes I know they bring in £££££ for the British economy, but lets be honest they do fuck all else! Their treatment of Diana was disgusting and led to her death.

I think that Meghan has been treated horrendously since this all began - maybe she is a bit of a diva, maybe she doesn't act like the rest of them but I actually think this change could have been really refreshing. Unfortunately there clearly has been an issue from the 'firm' from day 1. She has been ripped apart by the press and NONE of them have stood by her, none have issued a statement of support, I can't even imagine how difficult it must have been to cope with it all, constant scrutinisation. I for one do not blame her or Harry at all for wanting to air their side of the argument, particularly following the racist comments made about her child. The most disgusting thing about this is PRINCE ANDREW IS A LEGIT PREDATOR AND SLEPT WITH UNDERAGED WOMEN!!!! I have lost so, so so much respect for the queen.

I'm not a supporter of the royal family. It's old fashioned and serves no purpose in our society in 2021 in the UK. These people literally show up for the opening of something and wave to people, put their names on their charity "work" for which the work is most likely done by someone else. I did however like Diana and met her once as a child. I believe Harry & Meghan are telling the truth, Is it the best time for them to plead hard done by though? in the middle of a pandemic and with his grandfather in hospital. Part of me thinks good on them they got out, it wasn't easy but go away and enjoy your life away from the press.

This is my fav tweet of the day:

 

[orlyb1310]

I mean I saw people on the other thread be adamant that her pregnancy is fake when she announced it. How do you even stop people with a mindset like that from hating your guts? I know people hate it when rich people complain and would rather they to shut up and get on with it because in the real world, we’re working long shifts for little pay but it’s so incomparable. Being thrust into the royal family is such a unique experience and as she was saying in the interview, so lonely. Harry was born into this family and knew first hand how they treated his mother. The amount of dirty secrets behind the walls of those tax funded castles are probably too many to talk about. I don’t get why people think it’s Meghan who has coerced him into cutting ties with his entire family and never speaking to them again - they tried to make it work and the institution did nothing to help them. Some people act like they’d be treated any differently in the royal family - if we have time in our day to comment on tattle threads, I don’t think we’re of interest to any of these people

 

[orlyb1310]

I think some people need to realise that this thread isn't here because we've simply not read enough Daily Mail articles that 'prove' she's a liar and need guidance. I couldn't care less what she said about getting married on a certain day etc, the psychotic takedown of Meghan by the press and by people on the internet is absolutely crazy and nothing she has ever done or will do can justify it. She was hated before the Oprah interview so it is wrong to say that people don't like her because she aired her dirty laundry about the RF on telly. People are too focused on the fact that she supposedly disrespected the Queen and Philip in their final days and not enough on the fact we have this unelected body of people that we owe respect to because they just so happened to be born into a certain family. Good people deserve respect and the RF have proven time and time again that they are not good people with their racism, treatment of women who marry into the family, and protection of Andrew. I'm happy that Harry saw the light. You can see how in love him and Meghan are and how relieved they must be to not have to follow royal protocol day in, day out for people that wouldn't help them when they needed it.

 

[Eyerollbrainache]

I think it's a really complex situation. We will never really know if she is an awful person or if this is a game etc. However, I think fair enough to them for speaking to a 'friend' in the media to get their side across. They were never saying they don't want media, they were saying they didn't want the one sided media. It must be hard for Megan, they dragged her family and her through it to make gossip/her look bad. Harry looks genuinely happy and she does too.

He is still a young man who lost his mither due to media/paparazzi. He was always a different 'royal' too. Remember the naked strip poker stuff

I think they have absolutely every right to live a life they choose. They have removed themselves from the RF - it's not like they did this interview while still living there.

Piers Morgan is a moron anyway. He takes offence at anything that doesn't fit his agenda. He will spin any story out of any situation. The hate that Megan gets is unfair. She's a pregnant woman who was open about losing her pregnancy previously. Who loves her husband and they both deserve a life they choose, regardless of what it is.

I'm not a RF fan or a megs and Harry fan. Either way, I just don't think anyone needs to be berated in the media like she is.

I really can’t form my thoughts into coherent opinions on this topic but I’m so glad this thread was made and the first post sums up everything perfectly. It baffles me how so many people can dedicate their time to hating two (mainly one) people so much just because they said a big fuck you to such a dated institution. It really makes me sick that this is what’s being focused on and not all the other disgusting things that go on behind closed doors and that are now being brought to light but will NEVER get as much attention.
I’ve seen so much about the interview on Twitter and I can’t wait to watch it with my very royalist family

 

[Cereal Killer]

The RF have gone to great lengths to protect Andrew from being exposed for the vile pweirdo that he is. Personally I think Meghan and Harry have done the right thing walking away from them. I think there is a lot more to it than we know but they are unable to say.

The whole ‘be kind’ motion seems to have gone out of the window.

 

[Columbo]

This tweet says it all for me. I’ve seen so many comments today about Meghan’s suicidal thoughts how its her trying to “gain sympathy” and its “pity”. A real shame, whether you like her or not comments like that can be so triggering to so many people out there and it makes me wonder what some of these people would be like if their friends & family confided in them about mental health... would they think you’re saying its for pity and sympathy too

I feel like for her to even be accused of trying to gain sympathy has a racist undertone. If The Duchess of Cambridge stated she felt suicidal she'd be appaulded for raising awareness etc. That's a fact. Meghan does it and she's lying or exaggerating or attention seeking. It's wrong.
We know that Diana tried to take her life, we know she suffered with an eating disorder, we know she was treated terribly by The Royal Family and we accept these things as facts. When Meghan alludes to similar treatment she must be lying. Why? Doesn't take a genius.

 

[orlyb1310]

Wouldn't you rather believe someone was suicidal and help them for it to turn out that they were just attention seeking rather than the other way round and regret it when its too late? Not only were the ongoings enough to make her suicidal, she was pregnant too. Saying she was lying dismisses that she could've had pre-natal depression too which would've contributed to her poor state.

 

[blob1234]

I'm so tired of hearing 'Harry is a zombie, manipulated, she is controlling him, its emotional abuse blah de blah'

Why is it when a man respects his wife, her thoughts and emotions that man is suddenly labelled as 'weak' 'abuse victim' and that wife is labelled as manipulative?

It's absolutely degrading to women, I've seen it so many times not just Harry and Meghan as the example, why?! Why can't a man be supportive of his wife and not be labelled a pussy? This shift from the masculine man as the bread winner or the dominant family figure, to this 'women are so manipulative, so controlling' it grinds my gears!

this is toxic masculinity!!!!!!!!

Can both man and woman not share equal power within the relationship? both sides respected?

It's diminishing to women, to all the work it has taken to get here, to be suddenly labelled as manipulative, it's also diminishing to abuse victims!

Give the woman a fucking break man

EDIT TYPO

 

[Guccigal]

I’m glad they’ve spoken out and once again the DM have literally proven their point with this ridiculous lie of a headline. That is literally not what was said at all. I don’t like Meghan, but this smear campaign of hate is disgusting and just proving their point

 

[Columbo]

I think it speaks volumes that the Palace have pledged to investigate the bullying claims that have suddenly emerged about Meghan but appear quite happy to brush allegations against Prince Andrew under the carpet, where's the investigation for that? Who do we think it was? The person was worried about the colour of Archie's skin? My money's on Charles.

Just been reading the thoughts of a body language expert who says their body language suggests they're telling the truth.

haha yep! Half the people I see genuinely calling for Meghan’s head on a plate are the same ones giving it “if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing #bekind” or calling people “trolls” for for daring to say anything less than fawning about an influencer *cough*mrs hinch*cough* Bet a load of Hinch army fanatics fucking hate Meghan.

If people can forget/excuse Andrew’s clear criminal sexual behaviour but get so angry at Meghan. Then, regardless how loudly they shout, it definitely appears race has a part to play in their anger.
