Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relationship

Eri · November 08, 2016, 04:02:06 PM

^ So that means people could /can abuse her? I don't get it :hmm: ... what does that even mean ? YOU liking "Meg" is ironic to say the least ...

Vesper · November 08, 2016, 04:14:03 PM

I'm sorry, but I was hard on Cressida and this one is worse, far worse. I have no problem whatsoever with her ethnicity, I myself is a person of color, but a divorced actress with racy sex scenes all over the web... really, Harry? I'm out of here.

So what, the sex scene was for a tv show, her divorce does not matter, the Queen would have not improved of these romance from day one,for the palace to make this statement prove they all support harry and the Queen is aware and she does not care about the past. This is the second time beside kate for the royal house to defend royal girlfriend not even my girl chelsy or people favorite Cressida get this much of support like Megan! Everyone just have to deal with this and wish they well! Megan is harry choice she is what he want!

The institution of the monarchy is about prestige and being above the rest. You have an actress, it doesn't matter if it's her job, that's precisely the point, parading semi naked on screen and that's not a big deal. I know we're living in the era of the Kardashians, but I'm sorry, if you are going to chose and act like a celebrity then no thanks.

I agree with Eri that those who criticized Cressida, me being one of them, are now acting very differently.

Whatever. This doesn't effect my life so good luck to him. If anything, this has provided me with a good distraction on the Election Day stress.

I don't know what the problem is with sex scenes. She is an actress, even consecrated actresses make sex scenes in movies these days. And being divorced is not a problem either. Harry's father and his uncles are too. :D

Vesper · November 08, 2016, 05:49:56 PM

^Right, they were already a soap opera, now they are full on Kardahian.

Trudie · November 08, 2016, 06:20:22 PM

LOL I fail to see exactly why her occupation or previous marriage should bar her from possibly becoming Harry's wife. Exactly what is unsuitable about her? Meghan is an actress it is a job, she does charity work and seems to have the same interests as Harry. Charles married a divorced woman so that argument is moot. Meghan is half African American so what? that isn't a disease. What matters is their being happy with one another and this is 2016 not 1936. I hope Harry just follows his heart.

Prince Harry warns press about harassing girlfriend

Meghan Markle: Prince Harry warns press about harassing girlfriend - CNN.com

Yeah. Good luck with that, Harry. If the press smells money, there isn't much you can do.

Guys, we'll have a British princess who is American and mixed. I love it! She'll become USA's princess too of sorts.

I wish them the best if it happens! We all need to support Harry and his decision here. And he is not an irrelevant royal either. He is in the top 5 in the line of succession and he is also very popular in UK and the US. She'll become the most popular royal in the family because he is American. Watch!!

Eri · November 08, 2016, 08:13:19 PM

The same people who had a problem with Cressida's THEATER PLAYS ... mind blowing ... nothing against Megan and more power to her being an actress as I love everything regarding art it's just the HYPOCRISY that is mind blowing ...

Vesper · November 08, 2016, 08:29:50 PM

I can't believe we finally agree on something @Eri

Amen!!! I agree 100%!!

good221 · November 08, 2016, 09:00:29 PM

Seriously LET it go, This is not about Cressida, I don't get why everything have to do with Cressida! This is about Megan, people might not be inlove with Cressida like you, if you want apologies for Cressida you got it, So let it go and let harry be HAPPY with his choice Megan. His families are happy for him why cannot everyone be happy. If things dont work out down the line that is on Him not us. So let move on from crying wolf. same people also have HUGE issues with chelsy, you don't see everyone blame/ angry at that, Cressida and Megan got it better compare to chelsy the people and media HATE up until today, so let not compare note!!🙄

It is only a problem for some now because she is American and mixed. If it were anyone else, her being an actress or anything else would not matter. It's problem now because of her background. Well we're not in the 1930s. This is 2016.

Harry is going to marry her regardless of what anyone says or thinks if that is what he wants and we all know it! And I'd bet odds he has long since spoken to his grandmother about it and she has given her blessing. So talk of this nature is a waste of time.

Vesper · November 08, 2016, 09:41:21 PM

I'll be waiting for my invitation. :P

For the record, I'm black so I could care less what her skin color is. Black people can be opportunist too, and I would applaud the diversity, if it didn't come in the form of a person playing games.

You are right about one thing, it's not my life so good luck to him.

FanDianaFancy · November 08, 2016, 10:51:20 PM

Never has he had TPTB issue a statement. Her treatment? IS it no more , no less, no different than Kate, Cressida, Chelsy, or even then Lady Diana.
Could it be that serious after 6 mnths or so?

That is wrong with her? She is college educated, graduated, working and not lofting on inheritance, parent's income, etc., older, wiser, veryveryvery pretty, photogenic, charitable -UN , and more.
YES, her ex husband will sell his story.
YES, her not so close family members have sold a story they truly, from what we gather, don not know no more than we do and are not that close.

Being a person of color, being a person of divorced parents, being non British or of the Commonwealth as in she does not have grasp of the history of the what Harry's life is set to be and where he goes, sees, his lids, etc.,

She would be marrying an institution in Harry. She would have to be very strong and supported as Kate is and even then Lady Diana/D,PofW was not. It is celebrityville American style. Having the Prince/Princess of Suffolk ( whatever hi kids will be titled) visit grammy in Crenshaw or grandaddy in Mexico, ummmm, no!!!!!!
For K to have her kids at her Brit parent's house, there is massive security( after the birth of her first child and she went off to Mommy and Daddy's).
Marrying him, there would be no turning back. It is not a Disney tale. The media is now, will be, and will always be bitter on her and the aristos/nobility .landed gentry would have it in for too because PH married HER. Kate, from what is said , never took a liking , developed a strong friendships with W 'world and she has few, very FEW ,like a handful of friends due to her marriage. She seemed to have none, maybe 2-3 before marrying him that were friends of her own.
Diana had a few good friends of her before marriage and after, but of the aristos/nobility, etc., not really. They all sided with the crown PCharles and his thing, Cammilla.
It can be lonely living n the Cinderella gated palaces of the Princes world in 2016.

Names for kids? Selection from the ancestorial names. No Justins, Drews, Jacobs, Ian, Jessicas, Ashleys, Nicoles, Mirandas, etc.
If she could understand what she would be getting herself into, yet worth it for just her husband , Harry, and their kids, behind the palace gates and walls, FINE!!! If Harry would understand he deep security she would need from him to block out the world, FINE!!!!

PW and family, PH and family ARE the future of the BRF and until PW's kids grow up and get married, and then push PH's down. That is a longgggggg time off like 30 years. It is a long time off for PCharles to become King Charles too....maybe 10 years away.

Good luck to MM and H because M more so than H will need it more so than K and Diana.
At least the were British , fully understood it all with Diana being born into sort of and K watched from the sides for 10 years. K and Diana understand their history, their country, the meaning of it all?

American MM, not so.
Being Blck American, to me, is last on the list. HOWEVFER I WILL TELL OVER HERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE POND...
NOW I will tell you this . ere there will be a big pull for MM by Black American for her to tour South Side Chicago, South Central Los Angeles, speak at Black universities, be a figure in Black American history week, be honorary member of Black American sororities-AlaphaKA, ZetaPhiBeta, meet with Black Civil Rights leaders, Black Congressional Congress and speak before Congress, be a presenter at the BET Awards, NAACP Awards, the list is endless. Don't forget her endorsement for national elections.

I am saying all this and I am Black American.

THOSE ARE DUTIES of a British Princess ...even MM!!!

She maybe would fold into pressure to do, HOWEVER that is not her role. She cannot do those things. A NRITISH PRINCESS DOE SNOT OF THESE THINGS. She would also take on British citizenship and Protestant faith. LOOK, Black America is here and the are quite possessive of things going on like are you "woke?" Where is Black Lives Matter tee-shirt? That is the new phrase for people who are Blck and well off or suburban like MM, and what is their stance on Black American and the police situation ? YES, her role ad duties in her life as wife would clearly defined as they are for K, were for Diana . Like I said , her children traveling outside for the UK and their names, schools, etc., lots of limited freedoms, but then trade off the wealth, unlimited wealth, heath, lifestyle that no one else in celebrtiyville or politics has and she would have this for life.

Her ethnicity is not a biggie for me, but being able to fully understand what she would be getting into.

Valentina18 · November 08, 2016, 11:35:10 PM

I am glad Harry has found someone. I got so tired of the press trying to set him up. At least she has been out in the real working instead of being wrapped up in a bubble waiting like dolittle was. Everyone keeps talking about about how she is milking this relationship in the press.Remember Kate's campaign to get the ring .I watched her UN speech on YouTube and I can see why Harry likes her.

LouisFerdinand · November 08, 2016, 11:37:53 PM

It is unfortunate how the media has treated Meghan. It would be splendid to have a Royal Engagement announcement before Christmas.

:happyuk: :happyuk: :happyuk: :happyuk:

TLLK · November 09, 2016, 12:02:05 AM

^^^Personally if they are serious then I'd like to see them wait a bit before announcing an engagement. Recent BRF history has shown that a brief courtship/engagement does not equal a long and stable marriage. The more recent successful marriages in the BRF have been with couples who dated for years before becoming engaged.

Cat00 · November 09, 2016, 01:52:12 AM

I think they will not wait long. Harry seems very interested in her and both are already at a mature age. :hug:

HsHCharlene · November 09, 2016, 05:37:37 AM

@FanDianaFancy I totally agree, she has no idea what she's getting herself into and thinks it's all adulation. This is why Harry came out with his press release. She thought people would rally behind her and had no idea what she was facing or how to relate to the British public. She is too self-aggrandizing and they see through this and call her out on this but they fall back on the poor excuse of racism. It's not racism dear, they see your fake and poor attitude. It's sad that so many people can see how fake this woman is BUT Harry. He is as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes. He also must be desperate to be clutching on to a woman who is so poorly suited for the royal family. It's not going to be strawberries and champagne dear. She needs to get over her ego and realize that people will not bow and scrape to such an arrogant person. Black people are going to expect her to be the mouthpiece for them but boy oh boy will they be surprised when they realize she really doesn't identify with them, then the claws will come out from blacks too. This girl is nothing but trouble and the fact that everyone in her family is speaking to the press and her online photo leaks to get the press and people talking about her shows she lacks discretion and is so far removed from the norms of British society that she would never make it.

Eri · November 09, 2016, 11:15:49 AM

^ I will have to agree that while I have no issues with her REALLY (I don't) she is problematic on so many fronts ... I also agree I don't get why Harry whines about what Megan is getting when :

a. His past girlfriends have gotten it WORSE and I have seen NO "racist" "undertones" about her that is ridiculous pointing out her race is not being a racist ...

b. He now has put the attention and an incredible amount of pressure on both of them with his statement ... Harry truly is dumb as a rock ... he might start by telling her to close down her Instagram and Snapchat that she uses as a tool to get attention before whining about the attention she is getting ...

HsHCharlene · November 09, 2016, 01:21:48 PM

The woman is too addicted to attention to even try. She is going to milk this for all it's worth. I don't even feel bad for Harry anymore because he is letting her run him in circles and now it's hurting his image. Hope the bedroom antics are worth all of this trouble for him. I truly believe that Harry is desperate now, he picks the most unsuitable woman and then gets mad at the world for noticing and pointing it out. He's not thinking but then again that has never been his strong point.

Why so aggressive? Do you know her so well to accuse her of being false? False why? I've done a lot of research on her, for me she's a serious, mature, committed girl on humanitarian issues long before she meets Harry, How so, does not she identify with blacks? You not have read anything about her, because she says that consider yourself black as well and fight for equal rights. What is happening is because racist people are not accepting her and so they point out a thousand defects. I doubt if she were not African American, they'd be talking those things. :no:

Why should she close the instagran? She is not a silly, insecure girl who cares what others think. Harry spoke up because he was upset over the attacks she is receiving from intolerant people. And with you not worth discussing, for you a single person who serves for Harry is Cressida

Jenee · November 09, 2016, 02:25:31 PM

This is silly- a single statement and we're marrying them off already!! :lol: I think it's entirely possible for a relationship to progress from dating to marriage in a few months, but it's unlikely for a long distance relationship to progress that quickly. Hopefully Harry and Meghan have the intelligence to live in the same city for a few months, before getting that serious.
