And I believe that there is some evidence that their reputations have improved as a result of the interview. I agree 100%. Meghan was put through the ringer by the British tabloids. She basically decided to fight back and tell her side. And both of their reputations have improved. The firm tried to muddy her up with staff bullying allegations a few days before the interview. This was pretty transparent and wasn't a good move on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She ain’t queen of England, I used to own Jamaica rich. And India. And Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Giant swaths of Africa. Etc. etc. please recognize that the queen and her husband were alive and participating in the British empire ruling over large portions of the gl9be. Betty White is awesome. Probably not a racist. Didn’t go on a publicity tour, around the world, in the 50’s and 60’s to reassure the natives that English rule, was in their best interests.

GroveDiesel Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Interesting. Turns out that Piers Morgan may have an ax to grind with Markle because he thought he stood a chance with her. Here he is saying that he had drinks with Meghan the night she later met Harry and that she then “ghosted” him. A 60 year old married man saying that a young woman half his age “ghosted” him after “having some drinks” with her the night she met and started dating a young man is pretty cringeworthy. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroveDiesel Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I do think that both sides seem like not great people. I absolutely buy that racism runs through the royals and buy that it was probably exacerbated by her being a “commoner”. But while it’s certainly possible that someone can just be unlucky with lots of terrible family, it’s a pretty big red flag that Markle seems to have bad relationships with literally every family member on both sides of the family. When you’ve broken off ties with everyone on your side of the family and everyone on your spouse’s side, the odds that you are the problem rather than everyone else seem somewhat high. And signing $$$ media deals and doing Oprah interviews while complaining about too much media attention definitely seems off. Honestly, the best reaction to all of these folks, IMO, is probably just to ignore them and make them all irrelevant. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moleculo Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 so the Royal family has been hyper-selective in who they are allowed to marry for hundreds of years. Markle is not royal, a divorcee, and American (in addition to being black).

I would say that Markle seems to be really well liked by all her friends and co-workers. Outside of the issue with her Dad's family, she seems really well-liked. The fact that you are not getting a bunch of people that associated with her crawling out of the wood work to disparage her speaks volumes. There are a lot of things written by friends and co-workers that really praise her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarchy99 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 33 minutes ago, Leeroy Jenkins said: Did I read correctly that he was plotting to take back the throne after Hitler won WW2? I believe it was the Germans that concocted that plan. Edward did visit the Germans, who are said to have devised a plan to kidnap Edward and reinstate him as a puppet King after the Germans took over England. That plan was said to have been devised three years after Edward's visit to Germany. Historians still debate what happened when, and it's unclear if he was actually in on the plan. Apparently there are letters showing communication between the two sides and German documents that outline the plan (but nothing definitive to show Edward was a willing participant or knew about it). There is more describing all that HERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. Look at her half sister that wrote a 'tell all' book. She's 17 years older than Meghan and they never lived together. Meghan grew up an only child. Quote Meghan told viewers that she has not seen Samantha in “at least 18, 19 years” and “before that 10 years.” She also noted that the author “changed her last name back to Markle in her early 50s … only when I started dating Harry,” adding, “So, I think that says enough.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckna Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I have no doubt it was tough living in the British Royalty spotlight, but spare me the “woe is me” now that they are “out,” they stepped away multi-millionaire’s and are receiving yearly million dollar stipends. And despite all this hating the spotlight they seem to be going out of their way to stay in it. Seems all like a marketing ploy to me. They are trying to build their brand and make some money all while trying to not be controlled by the crown while still profiting off the royal angle. Won’t be long before there’s a reality tv show, multiple clothing lines, perfume, etc. A decade from now they probably will be living next door to the Kardashians and worth ten times what they are now. A very American thing to do by the way, at least in this ridiculous celebrity crazed society we live in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already cashed in to the tune of at least $150 million between Netflix and Spotify deals. Meghan has come a long way since opening briefcases on Deal or No Deal. Don't believe an actor or actress when they say they don't want to be in the spotlight. That's EXACTLY why people become actors or actresses. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
