The Harry and Meghan fuss

[cheekybids]

The difference is, those charity workers and others you alluded to aren't the ones continuing a media attack on Meghan for no reason. The anger this woman has inspired in some of our commentariat, even before they cut themselves from the tumour that is the monarchy, borders on psychosis. I mean, have you actually read some of the shite Piers Morgan has said about her? Tweets about her on a daily basis; a trend that has continued for years now. It's irrational hatred. And you can say the same for those other words removed.

It's this simple, and this point has nothing to do with me being a republican: if I was in any institution that wielded the kind of power the monarchy had, and my wife was being continually bullied by the press, and my family were sitting by and letting it happen, then you better fucking believe I'd take her out of harm's way and leave. If I were then to find out my family were collaborating with the press to drip feed these attacks, then I'd return the favour and go nuclear on my family. That's what any real fucking man would do, not pander to an archaic institution that quite literally belongs in the middle ages.

Harry went nuclear. Go figure.

What kind of man would you be if you didn’t?

I suppose the question is the people getting angry about Prince Harry writing a book and making money about Prince Harry using his journalistic source - Prince Harry - is getting your goat you need to ask yourself why - normally sources are protected and probably for sound reasons

I suppose it's simultaneously playing the media victim and also feeding the same hungry media gossip monster for cash that sits uncomfortably.

Oh yes, I think the poster that described it as a Faustian pact was spot on.

I understand from the headlines there have been some issues within one of the the most priviliged and wealthiest families on the planet, but, you know, I really couldn't give a stuff.

So why, if you don't mind me asking, are you posting and reading this thread ?

Looks like Megan's lifted her booze ban on Harry. Either that or he's now even starting to rebel against her.

This seems a plausible explanation for Piers Morgan’s attitude.

After learning about that some months ago, I'm of the opinion that this goes deeper than simply being "ghosted" and that he actually thought he had a chance of getting off with Meghan. As that didn't happen - and was probably never on the cards anyway because I'm guessing she was never interested in him in that way - it turned him into a right jealous prick.

There's not a chance he's gotten so bitter about her because of a simple ghosting incident. I'd imagine when you mix in celebrity circles, ghosting goes on all the time and I wouldn't mind betting that Morgan himself has ghosted a fair few people down the years.

Maybe she just doesn't fancy fat bellends.
