Dying of broken hearts - how twee. Yes they were very close and they had deep affection for each other, they had their own version of love but it’s ridiculous to pretend it was this beautiful romance when Philip (and possibly the Queen) had affairs and they only started living together because the pandemic forced them together.
I think the charity might be in quite a lot of legal trouble shortly - someone's done a deep dive into its finances.

I think she clearly has compartments she can put people in and just forget about them. Just like her dad. It was startling that Harry said she’d still have a dad if it wasn’t for him.
Pretty sure we’ve heard quite enough from Samantha and Thomas’s many interviews over the last few years. Let’s not go pretending they haven’t had a voice in the press.
Me too, they often show that graduation photos but if they had any sort of relationship there would be more photos around that time or the couple of years before that Samantha/Thomas would show to prove their point. Meghan had more photos with Ashleigh!
Lot of people here being purposefully obtuse@Boring Monday and @Baby Giraffe you articulated my point way better than me
no one is asking you stop using words don't be so dramatic. I don't know why people get so defensive when others point something out. Just be like oh okay, I didn't see it like that but now you've said it... you didn't write the article did you, so no need to be taking it so personal
Completely and utterly agree...im no meghan fan but the use of this word in such a context had only one undeniable motive
For the life of me I can't see that. It sounds the same but it means something completely different. It's also a pretty unique word in that there's not really anything else in the English language that conveys the same meaning.
Racist dogwhistling is done like this on purpose - they count on the general public (who aren’t victims of racism) not picking it up.
I was vehemently opposed to this being characterised as racist but after today's discussion I've come around to the other way of thinking. I think it comes down to the author's intent really but when published in the DM after they already used almost straight outta Compton and exotic DNA then I can see how a person of colour could read it as a reference to the n word.
you have to wonder why she ditches all of her family, friends and spouse's family. Are they the problem or is she?
I always think this about Megan. I’m suspicious of anyone who has fallen out with everyone around them. Yes families and friends can be difficult, and I understand cutting people out can be what you need to do for self-preservation. But pretty much everyone? On both sides of the family? That’s a red flag to me!
To me using the phrase niggling is no different to me saying "chink in the armour" about an East Asian person. The phrase by itself is not racist nor does it have racist origin but when you think of the context of which it was used it is inappropriate, rude, racist. This phrase would never have been used by the likes of the Telegraph / Times despite being right leaning papers like the Mail as they would know that their readers would understand the hidden meaning of the words. The daily mail readers are either too stupid to see the hidden meaning or knew the meaning and just didn't care as they believe the diatribe the Mail give them about meghan.
Isn't that the same for their charity and the majority of their friends? Even the wedding guests who were POC were majority if not all Meghan’s guests. It’s a bit iffy for Harry to place himself as a voice in this area and to speak about these problems when he’s made multiple racist remarks in the past and for it to seem the first relationship he’s had with a POC was his wife. He can blame the RF bubble for that but that’s him as an adult placing himself in exclusively white environments.
Hahahaha.
