Feeling any more sympathetic to Meghan Markal after Oprah interview?

17 million people watched Meghan Markal's interview with Oprah yesterday.
The MGTOW and MRAs were screaming from the rooftops, asking what the heck Harry was thinking. She shows a number of red flags. Single child, actress, daddy issues, once divorced and now looking to have kids in her late 30s, early 40s. Some concerns were that she would distance him from his family, friends and interests. Well, his father is barely speaking to Harry as he is now distanced from his family. I assume most of his mates are in the UK. They've moved to California. He liked to collect shotguns for hunting pheasants. She made him get rid of them.
So, do you think better of her after the interview?

 

I have no opinion either way. All that matters is what Harry thinks.

 

Not one bit sympathetic towards her or him for a couple who claim they want privacy they seem to put one hell of a lot of effort into pushing themselves into the public eye every chance they get. GET A JOB BOTH OF YOU !!!!

 

I question the motives for this "interview".......aka exposure of private information for the world to see/ know. For folks that seem to despise the tabloids......they just gave the tabloids plenty of folder .

For folks that wanted their privacy........this is quite the opposite of privacy. If they are so concerned about threats........ why expose themselves so publicly?
If she had serous suicidal thoughts, then I hope she (they) are in therapy. What is her motive for making that so public?? Seems she did not know how or did not want to deal with the family she married into. She admits to not even taking the time to learn about them ,when she started dating Harry. Suggests that she made assumptions with a good dose of arrogance

Fact remains . Harry gave up almost everything for her . That suggests that she is control of that relationship. She probably fond out that she could not control the Royal firm.......... and thus wanted no part of it. Or she wanted the best of both worlds.

She threw out plenty of inflammatory stuff.......and that will keep the tabloids busy for a while........ and the Royal firm considering how best to "handle " ;this hot potato. Mind you....it seems the firm might have to do some adjusting to update themselves into the modern world of today. (including attitudes of social consequence)

They have certainly created a firestorm and have center stage ..........for the next news cycle.. at least.

 

Indeed. Seems they wanted to have it both ways. .... Not very smart or mature. But neither is particularly sophisticated.......Harry had emotional problems. So, s stated before: hope they are in long term therapy. Suspect they will use their royal connections to their advantage. She could go back to acting while Harry assumes the role of stay at home dad. What employable skills does he have??

 

Not even a tiny bit. But I DID notice how big her hands and feet are

 

She's a dysfunctional narcissist, who hasn't properly grown up. She's a freaking disaster.

Harry is an idiot, but it's not his fault. He was left motherless too young.

 

I have only seen a few clips on TV but they whole she was suicidal thing seems to be a bit melodramatic on hers and the media's part.

 

Have they been cut off from the Royal money? If so what they are doing is just making a very good living for the rest of their lives. Oprah paid them beaucoup bux already and the resultant book will make them several million and may even get them other things. ( a TV show, line of clothes, etc.).

If they still have the queenly funding this is just greed, surprise, surprise.

 

according t o Harry......the only "royal" funds he has avail ale to hi is what his mom left him. He does not get anything from his dad anymore.

(there are two versions to that story. One: They opted out , to be inexpedient. Two. His dad cut them off. (seems the latter is the true version as she was complaining about the many losses since their decision to opt out from Royal duties. . It most likely is a mix of both.

Soap opera anyone?? The Crown has nothing on them.

 

Yeah mate, you kinda lose your right to bitch about privacy when you've signed a Netflix deal and are doing a worldwide interview on Oprah...

If they want privacy they can buy an RV and disappear into the woods.

 

I listened. I know Meghan was just being honest and pouring her heart out but it sounded like she was being overly dramatic.

 

I think the royal family may not have been entirely wrong about being skeptical - or at least cautious - about Harry's marriage to her.

The child also has no right to be recognized as "a prince", and the fact she is discussing that makes her look entitled and stuck up.

Anyway, hate to predict bad things about people, but I wouldn't be that surprised if this marriage doesn't last 10 more years.

I think the royal family may be right to distance them now before they cause (a bigger) scandal later.

 

It also makes her look peevish and petulant. The IV had the feel of "revenge. while emphasizing herself as the victim.

 

Harry, unfortunately (best wishes to him), strikes me as immature.

His new wife does have at least some "graceful" qualities (well she is an actress after all, probably trying hard to play the part), but also "ditsy", in a way that not even Princess Diana ever was.

I mean there was some aspect to Diana that had an air of being piece right off the branch of royalty, despite the scandal and despite her succumbing to trashiness at times.

They're blaming racism, but Harry's wife just does not come across as that sharp.
It would be hard to imagine her ever being a main princess fitting in with the royal family. If you just listen to her talk in conversation.

 

Found this on another forum:

Wait a MINUTE! You mean the baby is actually named 'ARCHIE'? This is actually the name on his birth certificate? ...not 'Archibald', but just-plain ARCHIE?

That is so ignorant! It's like something people back in my native Mississippi would do. The Deep South's culture is matriarchal, and males are considered less-than-human. So, males are frequently stuck with cutesy names ending with an 'e'/'ie' sound, or the improper/informal versions of names (i.e. "little boy names"). In this case, the poor babe got BOTH - a name which is both improper and cutesy-sounding. I know Meghan has no respect for the Royal Family, and that she thinks she can remold her little part of the Royal Family, to reflect her downmarket Disneyland worldview. But truly, I can't believe that 'The Palace' wasn't able to thwart her inappropriate naming of the poor baby.

 

As I understand it, it may be like "Antwone", which is something of an actual custom among blacks in America. They are naming the child after a relative and keep the mistaken spelling so as to make their intent clear and pass off a belief that it IS a real name or a real variant spelling. In fact, Antwone may BE a real variant (and so might Archie). I've never heard of a black referring to "Tirone"

I doubt that even Royalty can overcome the legal principle in English Common Law that you are allowed to name your children whatever you wish. Ask Moon Unit Zappa or her sibling Dweezil

 

I find it supremely ironic that a woman (Oprah) who herself has enormous wealth, overcame her personal issues and poverty to attain that wealth is now actively out there peddling the racism narrative. She exemplifies what it means to over come and outperform ones circumstances. Megan traded on her looks to become successful. She used her looks to attract a prince. And now, all we get is the boo hoo storyline that somehow racism.

I feel sorry for Harry. He seems to have some serious mommy issues but who can blame him for his mother? What is worse is they all seemed so "sincere" about their pain that they inflicted on themselves in the interview. What I take away from the spectacle are folks who are shamelessly willing to parade themselves in public, but are upset that their publicity was used to create a negative narrative about them.

The media are the enemy.... That really is the message they are touting here. I mean, if it can happen to second tier royals, american presidents, etc.....

 

I don't care what celebrities do or say. It means nothing to me. I have no opinion. I wish her well.

 

Megan is a sociopath who lies habitually with no sense of loyalty. I don't know how anyone could believe anything she says. She dumped her father when she had no more use of him, even though he adored her and spent every penny he had on her private school and college. Megan of course twisted it, and said it was her father who let her down. Why she even told some students, that she worked her way through college. So much for gratitude and honesty.

As for conniving, well she idolized Princess Diana and knew everything about her, and even wore her favorite perfume on her first date with Harry - yet poor innocent Magan had no idea who he was.

 

When Harry abd Meghan left the Royal family, That was their business as far as we're concerned.

 

The next worry I have for him: they are in California and have been married for 3 years. In California, she can no fault divorce him if she can hang with him for 7 more years and he will owe her permanent alimony. The kids won't even be teens yet. She will likely get, even if not full custody, full child support. He has really put himself into incredible danger. And the $14 million house she made him buy, even though his total worth may be about $40 million. Just because you have the money to buy the house doesn't mean you have the money to maintain it, pay taxes on it, etc.

 

What comes of being ruled by the little head instead of the big one....standard fare for Dear Abby.
