Do bobby pins hold anyone's hair? My hair laughs at them as they slide, slide, slippety side right off my head. I have baby-fine, straight hair. Yes. I have thick, curly hair, and I use Bobby pins to pin up the front everyday. |

I know people have said they feel like they can't criticize Meghan because people get upset. But I want to try to explain: it's like the cup is so full with the racist shit, and so when more comes (even if it's not race related), it just overflows. If we were in a vacuum and none of the racist shit was happening, I think the reactions to general criticisms would be different. But we don't live in a vacuum. And I get that part but even here, I feel like I can’t really say anything negative about Meghan because of the reasoning behind other people saying things. I agree the hair stuff is weird and I haven’t got an opinion on that. I don’t have hair like hers I don’t care how she wears it tbh. But....while I love what she represents and I Iove that little girls have a princess who looks more Iike them then ever before I just don’t actually care for her. I’ve tried. I’ve listened to her stans here and IRL and at the end of the day she doesn’t do it for me. I think she probably is very difficult, I think she probably isn’t very nice and it makes me a bit sad. I don’t think she knew exactly what she was getting into when she married into the BRF and my guess is that it appeared shinier before she was inside it. You can have, and say, whatever feelings you want about her. But I think it’s comments like your saying you think she is probably very difficult, and probably isn’t very nice, that make people who do like her defensive. Like, why do you think those things? Just a feeling? Based on what? I have had conversations with people who are like “I don’t like her because she didn’t follow royal protocol for the baby announcement”, except they did. And when I pointed that out they were like oh, I had just read they didn’t and took it at that. People who say she doesn’t seem very nice often don’t have concrete reasons for feeling that way and it’s (generally speaking, not about you) irritating: Also, I don’t know why I care lol. |

Everything you are saying is my mom and her friends. “Well she just isn’t real!” “She trapped him!” “random things I read in British tabloids and believe because I think Daily Mail is reliable for some reason.” I do think Meghan is generally pretty popular in the US, I am seeing a real generation divide. The Boomer White Lady crew dislikes her and people my age (often those of us with young kids who bristle at crapping on a new mom) like her. |

I’m not really a royal follower. I read here and sometimes see some posts on twitter.
The queen still supports Andrew. Enough that she rides with him to church. Will (allegedly) cheats on his wife, etc. and Meghan is the one that is “difficult” and people say “I can’t pinpoint it. I just don’t really like her”. I wonder why?
And, you know, I don’t know much about royal tradition but with the bullshit racist history and the history of protecting pretty bad people maybe it’s time for someone to go in and shake it up.
I like Kate just fine. I just feel something extra when people go after Meghan because I think she started in a position where she’d never be able to win.
And I also just hate in general when women are described as difficult. Maybe she’s a strong woman. Maybe she knows what she wants and doesn’t take shit. Maybe she is confident and firm in her stances. Those women are most often described as difficult whereas a man would just be called confident and “knows what he wants and goes out to get it”.
I mean, maybe there’s a ton I don’t know because I don’t follow closely but that’s how I feel. Not that anyone cares, LOL

I’m mostly a royal lurker and don’t know a ton. But I agree with everting you’re saying here. And re: difficult women, there may also be a cultural difference in how she’s perceived (UK v US). People in the UK may bristle at her demeanor because it’s not how women (esp. royal women) are “supposed” to act. I don’t know, just a theory. But also, racism. No doubt. |

Guys, I’m not like throwing darts at her face at home, I just don’t care for her. There are many, many celebrities I don’t like for a number of reasons. Maybe you have some too. My personal opinion is she is a social climber who ended up with a prince. I think they lied about how they met and her line about “but is he kind?” made me roll my eyes. She doesn’t come across as genuine to me when she talks, that is my opinion. Being besties with that Jessica woman is a bit suspect to me. And I feel like there have been a few things said here and there that she isn’t very nice to people “below her.” I don’t take the blinds at face value I just think where there is smoke, there is fire a good percentage of the time. Also, I think it is okay for people to just not like someone. |

It’s fine for Kate to be a social climber, but not MM. It’s fine for Kate to be an ice queen, but not MM. This is why people defend her so much, because the double standard is rooted in racism. |

But she gets an abnormally high percentage of people who dislike her 'just because', or who think all these things of her that there is never concrete proof of. British tabloids are not concrete proof. Why is she a social climber? Because she was an actress? And not from the upper echelon of British society? I just can't wrap my head around the massive amount of shit she gets for just being her. She's vocal, it's a problem. She talks about her love for him, it's a problem. She tries to do good things, it's a problem cause she does them the wrong way. She literally can't win. I have never seen one positive article about her. Her clothes are awful, her hair is unkempt, she is a social climber. When the public is constantly reading all this negativity it seeps in to peoples perceptions and then even when there is no valid reason to say she is a social climber or a mean person people say it anyway. |

All of this! I felt the same way when they first got engaged and people said they thought she was faking, a gold digger, always wanted to be a princess... Like what? How can you tell she’s faking? Are you friends with her? And these so called sources and palace insiders are total bullshit. I will pretty much always give her the benefit of the doubt until there is proof otherwise. |

They’re both social climbers. I doubt anyone married into the Royal family isn’t. That’s how you get positioned to meet these people.
We’ve got ice queen rumors about Kate and a source in the blinds saying Meghan is mean to her manicurists. So 🤷♀️ All these people are probably for real assholes, just like most celebrities.

For the record I do think both MM and Kate are social climbers. And I think that neither one has been 100% nice to everyone all the time- it’s just not possible. Doesn’t mean you’re not inherently a nice person, people have off days.
I also think they both have had some MAJOR fashion misses.
My comment was less about being a MM stan and more a comment on the insane double standard. MM and Kate are more similar than they are different hence the outrage at the double standard.

I was just going to say I think anyone marrying into any Royal family is a social climber. Maybe not as much as you move out of the immediate circle of the monarch but still. Also for the record, Princess Mary supposedly didn’t know Prince Frederik was a Prince when they met and learned it from tv a few weeks later. Possibly true, who knows. But I think a lot of people have to gloss over how they met. |

And keeps her mouth shut. So people love her. Yep. And the “keeps her mouth shut” is a big part of it, I think. In addition to the racism, I think Meghan faces a lot of sexism because she’s always been outspoken about her causes (long before she met Harry). Some of it is coded “she’s demanding of her staff” instead of “she has high standards” like it would be framed for a man. And she married into a historically patriarchal organization/family. Yes, the current monarch is female, but until Kate was pregnant with George, women were still behind the men in terms of succession. And then enter a biracial, outspoken activist like Meghan and the Piers Morgans of the world can’t handle it, make it their mission to publish negative stories about her, her estranged family helps, and people are like “hmmm.... there’s something about her I just don’t like.” She and Harry got more flack for taking a private jet that a friend paid for them and paid for carbon offsets for than Kate and William did for getting a helicopter and helipad installed at Kensington Palace and Amner Hall to ease their commute. |

I think when Meghan gets labeled as pushy and demanding it’s just down to cultural differences. Americans are more direct in their approach to everything and Brits tend to do this round about nicey thing where you have to decider the request. Eg.
Brit asking for tea: “I think it would be nice to have some tea soon, but no hurry, whenever you’re ready”. Translation- bring me tea now and if it’s not here in 3 minutes I’m sending the guard in to find you.
American same request: “i’d Like some tea please, steaped for 1 minute, as soon as possible.” - labeled demanding
Add on top all the racist shit and bam Meghan’s and pushy demanding bitch*
Not my personal feelings. I think she’s lovely and I want to be besties

Meghan gets so much racist crap said about her, micro aggressions, and overt ugliness, then throw in social climbing gold digger, difficult to work for etc. I just can’t get it up to criticize her for an ill fitting skirt or because her hair is too long. It’s just too much IMO and in a small way it perpetuates the negativity that surrounds her. Yes, I know we are just a small corner of the internet but that’s just my POV.

I know I get ramped up when hair things come up. I know for 90% of people it isn't a racism thing, but I definitely am in the you don't know how hard her hair texture is to manage etc. that I can't separate it. Well, it’s something those of us with white hair need to remember. We should stop treating our hair as the “default” hair. I think 95% of the time, her hair looks pretty good, and better than my hair 😬🤷♀️I also don’t get worked up about her liking the face-framing pieces, but I’m only a little older than her and my formative years for looks were in the 90’s so I’m using that as an excuse. Like, maybe it’s not a contemporary look but she feels like it’s a look that has worked for her over the years and it’s comfortable to her in what is likely a lot of stressful situations. Her ears don’t stick out at all, right? Mine do a bit and I also like the pieces out when I have my hair up because I feel like it hides my ears a bit (spoiler:it probably doesn’t,really) but I don’t think she had that issue. ETA I do realize I’m comparing myself (well, my hair) to her and I’m probably part of the problem. I should probably work on that. |

Why is this guy always talking about her? Didn’t he spill about the baby shower favours too? Like, he would no longer be my MUA/BFF if he kept talking about his interpretation of XYZ that I did for airtime. My gosh. The Elizabeth Holmes interpretation is that he has permission from her, or he would never risk it. Makes sense to me, because I agree with you, no way she’s giving him inside info if he’s sharing with her press without her blessing. Yeah, like if you’re doing interviews on CBS I hope M&H know about it ahead of time. |

Lurker here! I personally like Meaghan’s style (most of the time) and her position on many social issues. HOWEVER, I think it was very poor timing for them to announce their lawsuit/personal struggles in the middle of the royal trips to Africa and Pakistan. They could have waited a bit. Timing was weird. Just my 2cents.

American same request: “i’d Like some tea please, steaped for 1 minute, as soon as possible.” - labeled demanding Add on top all the racist shit and bam Meghan’s and pushy demanding bitch* Not my personal feelings. I think she’s lovely and I want to be besties Being British sounds an awful lot like being Minnesotan. |

For the record I do think both MM and Kate are social climbers. And I think that neither one has been 100% nice to everyone all the time- it’s just not possible. Doesn’t mean you’re not inherently a nice person, people have off days. I also think they both have had some MAJOR fashion misses. My comment was less about being a MM stan and more a comment on the insane double standard. MM and Kate are more similar than they are different hence the outrage at the double standard. Kate’s also been under this spotlight for a million years and still has missteps so MM should be granted a little bit of grace if she’s not 100% perfect 100% of the time. I know MM is/was an actress but going from Suits to the BRF is a big difference in attention. Cut her some slack, that must take some getting used to. |

I think when Meghan gets labeled as pushy and demanding it’s just down to cultural differences. Americans are more direct in their approach to everything and Brits tend to do this round about nicey thing where you have to decider the request. Eg. Brit asking for tea: “I think it would be nice to have some tea soon, but no hurry, whenever you’re ready”. Translation- bring me tea now and if it’s not here in 3 minutes I’m sending the guard in to find you. American same request: “i’d Like some tea please, steaped for 1 minute, as soon as possible.” - labeled demanding Add on top all the racist shit and bam Meghan’s and pushy demanding bitch* Not my personal feelings. I think she’s lovely and I want to be besties Being British sounds an awful lot like being Minnesotan. Or Canadian 😉 |
