Meghan Joining.... - Page 6

I clearly have a different view than some others here. And belittling and diminishing my opinion doesn't change it. Wouldn't life be a drag if we all "group thought?" I also feel it's sad that some of you cherry pick what I have stated. On post 29 on this thread I wrote: "IMHO she's a real social climber who hit the jackpot. With all of that said, I truly hope I'm 100% wrong. I think Harry would be devastated if the marriage didn't work out. I'll go one step further, if they make it to their tenth wedding anniversary, I'll be the woman eating her hat in Macy's store window on Thanksgiving day." Peace out on this thread ladies.

Personally, I think she was put in the public's eye way before she was ready. Needs a little more royal training. I think she is "too eager" and it shows. Maybe she will settle down and remember her place is two steps behind her royal.
@Hoovermom

Uh, Meghan was in the public eye long before she ever met Harry.

Two steps behind her royal? Good grief. The fact that she doesn't behave like a Stepford Wife is a huge plus, not a minus.

IMO, neither Kate nor Meghan should behave like Stepford Wives. (look up the movie if you don't understand the reference).

Of course I understand the reference. Yes, she was in the public eye but not like this. Yes, I think the Royals brides to be know what they are signing up for when they marry and need to fall into step. Yes, two steps behind her royal, not in front of him. Not my rules and don't like it at all. She came under criticism for walking in front of him in her first appearance and needs to remember her place according to them, not me. But she chose this life.

When a person chooses to join an organization, culture, religion, they should abide by their rules and customs or decline. It's not Meghan's place or right to defy Royal protocol. She is making herself an embarrassment, seeking attention, obviously trying to upstage Kate. She's already upstaged Harry in interviews, interrupting, answering for him, and when they're out in public.

They are a couple first .... marriage partners and the royal thing is secondary. The public and press are seeking her out .... she doesn't have to "seek attention". They come to her.

Harry is "the spare" just like Anne and Andrew were to Charles. Their lives are different and they have a lot more freedom.

What bride-to-be isn't enthusiastic and in love ... and excited about her upcoming wedding? To say she was deliberately trying to "upstage" Kate is totally preposterous. Her life will be much different than Kate's life. MM and Harry will have the time and freedom to work on things they choose ... not saying they won't have royal duties, but just a lot more freedom than William and Kate.

I think what's good about these two couples is that the royals need to be at least somewhat in touch with real life .... not just a cluster of stone-faced mannequins that no one can relate to. Their authenticity gives the monarchy the best chance of surviving for at least another few decades.

There are no guarantees when it comes to old institutions surviving indefinitely.

I am sorry but I am tired of it all. I loved Princess Diana but all this press, tired of it. Charles and ugly Camilla right out front. I lost faith in the Royals.

Fiero Woman · ‎10-02-2017

I don't know anything about the Royal's lives; but as a son, I would never condone/accept Camilla or Charles into my privae life, ever. I again I have no idea what went on. As commoners we never well. Oh well, just my opinion and I am entitled to one.

I feel sorry for the poor girl. People act like they know her personally, when all they really know is what they read, and who knows how much is true or made up?

I wish them every happiness

Harry said: Mutual friends introduced them as for knowing Meghan? Public record her education and charitable organizations. Poor Girl? Meghan will do fine. Intelligent woman in every sense of the word. Together both will live productively.

@Its Me LuLuBelle2 What makes you think Macy's is going to be around in ten years? All signs are to the contrary!

@Sweet_Serenity, I stated that I got a "Wallis Simpson vibe" from Meghan. It had nothing to do with her politics and world views. I meant it as I believe, like Simpson, Meghan is a social climber. Her marriage to Edward was a disaster, and sadly, IMHO, I don't see this ending well for Harry either.

I don't get that vibe at all. Wallis was most definitely a b****. Meghan seems sweet and sincere to me.
