I know that its cool because Kate’s just like us etc, but if I could’ve had someone do my grocery shopping for me in the last few weeks of pregnancy, lord have mercy I sure would’ve. She probably wanted an hour away from her kids. |

Didn't Kate go through a time when they called her "Waity Katey" or something like that? As if all she was doing was waiting for Will to come around. I think Meghan is the new kid on the block. I don't know anything about her, but one of the first things I saw was some article where she was like "I don't know him" about their first date and I was very, "Girl. Please." You know who he is. You might not know HIM, but you know who he is. Yes, Kate got shit talked about her for 10 years. She was waiting on an engagement. She was a social climber. She only went to that college because she heard William would be there, etc. Meghan is harder to accept I think because on that scale it happened fast. Will and Kate dated for roughly nine million years before they got married. All of her creep relatives and acquaintances came out of the wood work way before the wedding. |

I heard a lot about how Kate "stalked" Will and made sure that she was in the right places at the right time My thing with Meghan is that she has come out saying that she didn't know anything about Harry and yet little by little things are coming out that she was obsessed with the Royals and Princess Diana. You can't say that you don't know him when you obviously do. I would have been way more on her team if she was 100% honest. I mean hello if you got the option to meet your celebrity crush who wouldn't take it. You fell in love in the process Jealous because you lucky girl. |

I mean, I would've totally "just by coincidence" been where William was at school. He was a very attractive young man. I think adelbert said it best, no one would want to buy and read a book about what a saint Meghan is. It's the same reason all the books about Diana sold, people want the dirt. |

Being sad that Diana died and having her biography doesn't make you obsessed with the Royals. Also I think Harry is very aware that people know who he is and that is was a PR move for her to say that she didn't really know him. It was a silly PR move but I'm almost 100% sure that Harry and Meghan are discussing all interview questions and coming up with a narrative that they want for the public. |

The way I have always read the "didn't know who he was" thing is that she didn't know who he was AT FIRST. I've imagined it was, "Hey let me set you up on a blind date." but she wasn't told with whom. I believe she probably asked and found out it was Harry before the date happened, but maybe not initially.
Take one look at the gorgeous ginger and you know who he is.

Saying she didn't know anything about him makes no sense. And had they kept it real she probably wouldn't be facing such the criticism she is now. Like I said I hope they are happy and I am glad that Harry has found someone to settle down with and do the humanitarian work he also wants to do with. |

I’m still in the Camilla stages with Meghan, I want to love her but I don’t trust her yet. So I go between WK and talking shit on a whim.
I’m sure I’ll get to that love point eventually.
Maybe if she starts wearing better coats 😂

Your friend that set you up on a date with Prince Harry does not owe you even if he ends up being kind of a jerk which we all know HE WOULD NEVER. You, on the other hand, probably owe them your first born. |

We know who he is and what's been written and covered over the years, but we don't really know much about him either. |

Also FYI I was not all in on Kate at first either, but like it was said earlier they dated a long time so by the time the engagement/wedding came around I had the time to get to the point where I felt different about her. |

I enjoy grocery shopping but only when I'm on my own. My kids always ruin it and I basically refuse to take them with me. I love going shopping with DD. I can go to self checkout and she will bag for me, sometimes better than the actually baggers. I realize this is a very UO. |

We know who he is and what's been written and covered over the years, but we don't really know much about him either. Exactly. It wasn’t “oh, he’s a prince?!” Harry hasn’t done much that really shows the public who he is. Knowing a few facts about him (Mom died young, 5th in line for throne, likes to dress as a Nazi) doesn’t really mean you know much about him. I think Meghan and Kate are both social climbers because neither of them just happened to meet and fall in love with a prince, but I don’t read too much into this one statement. That being said, I also don’t really believe their “meeting” story and find the hypothetical yachting one much more entertaining. |

I just need to know if Butter London will be releasing a special nail polish named after Meghan like they did for Kate.

I also read that Meghan had been part of the London social scene. So in the context of being out and around the same places but not having met or knowing each other, I read her quote about not knowing "much" about him to be on more of a personal, realistically-know-people-in-common-and-could-have-maybe-known-him-already level - not on a Google search level like us internet forum peasants.

I want to give Meghan a fair shot, because I liked Kate from the get go and felt like the media was so mean to her, so it only seems fair to give Meghan the same benefit of the doubt I gave Kate.
But Kate was not bosom buddies with Jessica Mulrooney and you are the company you keep.

I was on a work trip during William and Kate's wedding. I had to work really late the night before, but I had the next day off (and late check out), so I got to watch in bed early that morning with champagne that I had bought the night before. All alone. It was glorious.
This has nothing to do with anything, except I was reminiscing and wondering if anyone will notice if I break away to watch this wedding in a hotel room by myself. I'm also still in my Camilla phase with Meghan, though. I shipped W&K a bit, just because he was an old crush, and I had admired the way he handled himself when his mom died. I always considered Harry a baby. (But I guess not... I'm younger than Meghan.)
