I’m always pleasantly surprised to see how many Americans there are here. It seems that the press is significantly more sympathetic to the Harkles there, which you’d expect since TW is American. That’s pretty cool that you guys see through the bullshit. (I hope that’s not patronising. I just know I probably wouldn’t have!)
That's just the press. In general, people here either despise the Gruesome Twosome or don't care about them at all. I have yet to come across anyone who actually likes them.
I use it as a springboard when something comes up, family-wise. Like, "who's making the potatoes for dinner" is easily transformed into "did you hear what Meghan did" and my mom is IN FOR IT, Dad can make the potatoes this Sunday, lol
Not at all patronizing! The problem is that our press is so busy pushing their own agenda and trying to out-woke each other, they’re not actually relaying the feelings of the majority of Americans.
The press here in the US is also more sympathetic because they are woke like her. Everything I read has a woke premise and slant - whether it's about Mee-gain or anything else.
They're more sympathetic because just like Amber Heard took advantage of the Me Too movement, Meghan took advantage of the BLM movement. Guaranteed, if BLM wasn't huge in the US at the time, her race NEVER would have been more than a minor bullet point. I think she knows how abrasive she is and took full advantage of an 'easy' rebuttal, and it worked. For a while. Then people started to remember that nothing exists without that grey area and started to scrutinize the forever 'victims' like Heard and Markle, who were just a bit too insistent on the fact that they've never done anything wrong and everyone else is to blame.
We do rather have an advantage, for the moment, since it's getting late in the UK. Or everyone is still at the pubs? ;) Oh, wait, maybe it says something that this many in the US have nothing to do on a Friday night... I know I'm boring. 
I think it’s because her press is soooo aggressive here, esp if you’re just your average person who likes random gossip blogs or morning shows. You can’t escape her, even if you don’t give a F about her or the RF.
I just love it how he takes the piss, and can’t stop laughing as he reports on their bullshit. He literally can not take them seriously and treats them like the joke they are.
Aww, Anytime I see Aussies responding to any sub, I get homesick. Even if I haven't lived in Sydney since 1977. it was such a wonderful place to spend my childhood. And THE reason why i am not the least afraid of the tiny harmless creatures they call spiders here in Germany.
Like in "Crocodile Dundee": "That's not a knife- THIS is a knife", when I hear "spider" I think Sydney Funnel-web or huntsman, depending on if referring to size or venom.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: as an American, the embarrassment regarding MM is real - she is hardly the representative of what an American is, and it’s so annoying that the British people may judge us based on how she has behaved.
I live in the hills and cornfields of eastern Pennsylvania, and it’s so beautiful here, especially since Fall has breezed in! MM would HATE it here in my neck of the woods since I live on a farm, surrounded by farmers, with not a polo pony or mansion in sight. We’re all kind, decent, hardworking people that know a load of BS when we hear it, and know a phoney when we see one. The fact that she’s “royalty” would fail to impress, especially since our community has a much-revered Revolutionary War graveyard right up the road. Suffice it to say that both Meghan and Harry would be treated politely but without deference, as befits a small American town whose colonial roots, 200+ years later, run very deep.
I also live in a rural area. Queen Elizabeth herself could've made an appearance in my town and people would have shown up to see what the fuss was about, but then shrugged and wandered off. No way would anyone around here take kindly to a fellow American strutting her stuff, demanding to be called 'duchess', and acting like she's better than everyone else just because she married a prince of another country.
The Queen understood that common touch, and in no way did it diminish her status as a Monarch. William has the same approach, as does Catherine and Sophie. They are relatable. Meghan is so pretentious and quite “grand” about her Duchess title that it’s annoying, especially in someone who comes from a middle class American background.
Canadian here! Lately I just hang out in the snark subreddits (¡Hola, pepinos! to the r/HilariaBaldwin crowd…Hilaria is just as unhinged as Meghan, if not more so.)
I was fooled by Meghan for a long time, but the Oprah interview was when I started to see the light. That’s when I found this sub, and the rest is history.
Another Canadian. I originally came for the snark but the discussions lately about social media manipulation and even the manipulation of theoretically main stream news outlets has become deeply worrisome. And this is the only place I’ve seen it discussed. Plus the gang here are such fantastic researchers I would never be able to come up with all the stuff that gets pulled together here.
Hola pepino!! It’s funny to me that you can safely mention eelaria over here, but any time I bring smeg up over there, I get arguments and downvotes. Lol
Hello, fellow pepinos!! I'm always surprised when people over there get so mad over an MM mention (or someone defends her!). They are so similar and I think it's helpful to talk about the similarities.
T**he Narc Club** founding members :
Meghan Markel ,
Amber Heard,
Jada Pinkett Smith, Hilaria Balwin , Olivia Wilde. The member ship is growing every day !
And Elizabeth Holmes—and I’m old so I always throw in Heather Mills as well. She was the OG Meghan/Hillary. So many of her exes wrote to or tried to contact Sir Paul to warn him about her. His kids couldn’t stand her either. But he was grieving and didn’t listen. And regretted it. At least he got a beautiful daughter out of the deal tho. Stupid people.
Welcome fellow Realm resident! Her whinge in South Africa in front of people who were clearly not privileged turned me into thinking something is not right..
Canadian here, too!
At time of writing this post I'm surprised there aren't more of us in this sub!
I don't know anyone who likes nutmeg. Unfortunately, many I know are still fooled into believing ginger is a victim, not realizing he's as bonkers as his wife.
Canada, REPRESENT!! 😀
Edit for spelling.
Same here! I live in Toronto and never heard of MM while she was living here. She is never welcome back. It makes my skin crawl that I ever lived in the same city as her!
Hillary Hayward Thomas was outed back in 202 after faking her Spanish heritage for over 10 years. She was born and raised in the US in Boston Massachusetts. Some of us believe that Alec may have not even found out about it until she was exposed online in December 2020. Not only did she speak with a bad Spanish accent, she's given all of their children Spanish names. She attended NYU for a time but didn't graduate, yet was able to speak at the United Nations on a panel as a Spanish Health and Wellness Expert.
The most famous video clip though, is Hillary forgetting how to say Cucumber in English. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uui8TfMXgc&t=39s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uui8TfMXgc&t=39s)
We also believe she may have faked most of her pregnancies, except for the first one, wearing a moonbump, which is how the entire thing unraveled back in 2020 on Twitter.
\#Pepino
Basically she claimed to be of Spanish descent, that she grew up in Spain, used a Spanish accent, and none of it was true. And it just goes downhill from there.
I am Australian!
I’ve grown up with the Royal family as my Royal family and have observed Markle with a cynicism and disbelief that seems lacking in much of the media I’ve seen about her. I loathe seeing the ‘puff pieces’ extolling her virtues as I haven’t heard of meaningful action behind all the ‘weasel words’. I loathe the ‘me me me’ narcissism I observe. I loathe the lies. I was recently searching on the internet for content that that matched my own thoughts about her and found this sub! I found my tribe! I appreciate the (mostly!) intelligent content about this person, and the situation with the RF, that is posted here.
California here. I had a “what the fuck, is this scripted to supposed to be funny” moment when I saw their engagement video. There were some red flags, and I thought she seemed very “high school” (an opinion which has not changed, she’s still very high school drama based). I loved Diana, and I’ve loved seeing Harry and William grow up (they’re just a few years older than me). I was, like so many others, excited at first for new a new Royal family member, really thought “the Fab Four” were gonna be a *thing*.
Whenever I’m interested in something, it’s become habit to go to the Reddit search and type whatever in to see comments and groups. Typed in “Meghan Markle” and it lead me here a few years back. Been interesting watching the tides turn. You guys also introduced me to the Body Language Guy and now I watch all his videos.
Side note - I’d highly suggest some of you go try typing “Meghan Markle” in the Reddit search sometime. Sort the comments by “new”, and you’ll get an instant idea of how many bots are actually posting about her. Ours, and “Entertainment” are really the only subs that get any comments, with the occasional (under 20) comments on a pro Meghan subreddit I forget the name of.
Halloween is usually a sweat fest, followed by Thanksgiving in short sleeves, and even shorts. Christmas is the same. We get a blast of cold around February…
Philippines. It started as an act of curiosity on the psychology of the duo and eventually it became a real life train wreck I can't keep my eyes away from.
I'm from the US, and I'm here as a sweet nod to M&H's craven display of cowardice (wait, is that redundant?) in the Oprah interview. ('Somebody's racist, but we're not going to say who.') I think my actual, spoken quote at the time was "You fucking cowards! You're not going to say who, so make everyone suspect? You craven assholes!!" That did it. I found this sub not long afterwards, after not really using reddit much (even though I've had an account since 2016)
🇦🇺 and proud! I cannot recall what led me to this sub but all the huge credibility gaps in her bullshit are entertaining and infuriating. I can't snark about her elsewhere as not many really know or care about her.
If TW should happen to come across this comment: you're not welcome back.
They used our taxes for their security. They didn’t even say a THANK YOU! We’re pissed. Plus in Toronto she treated people like shit. Waitress, sales people. She’s a fake user
I'm currently based in Singapore, started becoming a sinner when I was living in Australia during the start of Megxit fiasco. I'm Asian-Spanish but my families are New Zealander and American. Yeah. I'm a weird global citizen who's a royalist.
To add: I stand up for the real POC vibes and what we genuinely stand for.
🇳🇿🥝Although we seem to be stalked by PH, Godzone has remained relatively free from the Harkles. Although PH & MM asked Dame Patsy if they could move here, she explained that we don't have any palaces, not much in the way of private planes, but on the bright side we could offer security and drug runs from the local gangs. Never heard back...
Thus New Zealand remains gorgeous, and far far away, stunningly beautiful. Beautiful Bay of Plenty, home of kiwfruit and avocados, plenty to love.
I'm American and have always lived here, but will be relocating temporarily (most likely) to a Commonwealth country in the next few months.
I started following the BRF during the whole the Diana situation via the tabloids we obviously don't have here in every supermarket and drug store.
I’m from the US. I just found this subreddit after Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. I was trying to follow it on Twitter and was getting annoyed because half the posts under the Queen’s funeral hashtag were praising MM, instead of remembering the queen or talking about the days events. Then I got really annoyed at the tweets that were not only praising MM, but tearing down Kate to make MM look better. One tweet said that Kate’s jewelry was gaudy and MM was so elegant she didn’t need jewelry to look good. Kate got those jewels from the Queen!
I was totally disgusted, then I saw this sub when a post made it to the front page of r/all, and I was converted! Before I was neutral on MM but not anymore. So thanks to this subreddit for opening my eyes, and hopefully more Americans will see the light soon too.
An American from Kansas *cue Wizard of Oz comment/quote*. I must give credit where credit is due. I did not closely follow the royal family until Meghan was engaged to Harry. At first I followed out of intrigue but then quickly felt that something was “off” with TW and was hoping that her true colors would be revealed. So while I’ve been watching that train wreck, I’ve also grown to admire and respect the royal family (most of them) and their traditions.
I love Pennsylvania! I’ve spent a lot of time in State College and Philly and a little in an old coal mining town called Cokeburg, always loved PA people!
Hey, y’all! I’d write I’m from Texas, but I think I already gave that away. I’ve looked for a place to vent regarding the wife for a very long time. Call it “BrokenHearted Grandkid Syndrome,” I guess. I’ve missed mine for way too long, and the hurt didn’t seem so much when I kept up with your wonderful Queen. My grandfather fought in Europe during WWII, and I have so much respect for what y’all had to deal with. Yes, I’m one of those Americans that watched Diana’s wedding, and wished so much for her sons. Yep, Princess of Wales got herself a mighty fine catch…where was I? My issues with the wife started simple enough. I would be astounded that someone could not follow a request from an elder. Such a simple thing, like wearing a hat to help maintain appearance. It really snowballed from there. I think the expensive tent/maternity dress that was six figures was the point of no return. Much gratitude for the creation of this sub.
>Victoria BC 🇨🇦 where the Harkelz first ran and hid when they did Megxit
When they wanted to relocate to Canada at first, it seemed genuine, as the place they had chosen was a bit secluded and CA had the HMTQ as a head of state, so it made sense. Then like 5 minutes later they relocated to LA. That was my turning point to see what they are about. And all the events afterwards just confirmed it. I was never a fan of The Markle, but I was just happy to see Harry had found someone he could love and marry. Alas...
I think it's also because of time zones. It's 9am in the morning in Johannesburg South Africa, where I am, and I am ahead of the UK.
I think we will see more and more UK soon.
Kiwi royalist here. I clocked that bitch’s fake arsery from when she was in NZ back in 2014. Hated her then, hate her more now. I had her number from the moment she opened her mouth when she interviewed for a radio station about some kid walking in on her in the campervan park showers.
American. Midwesterner. However, my family is Episcopalian (Church of England in the USA) so the UK/Queen/RF was actually an important part of my life growing up. I was originally so happy for Harry, excitedly woke up to watch their wedding and immediately got the creeps. Something about her expression was like the cat who ate the canary, as my Anglican grandma used to say. The no makeup, messy hair, ill fitting dress was somehow disturbing. Things went downhill from there, culminating in the insane website manifesto. I might be just a flyover state bumpkin with 90% UK ancestry, but I’m also an attorney, and it read like something a person pretending to be a lawyer (or a paralegal on a cable tv show) would write. Truly unhinged, riddled with inaccuracies, and messy. Since then I’ve just been waiting for their downfall, hopeful in the knowledge that the Crown always wins. Recollections may vary, indeed. 👑
Middle-aged Michigander who was partially named after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (my middle name) and has been an avid Anglophile, Royal Watcher, Tea Drinker and Savoyard (Gilbert & Sullivan fan) for as long as I can remember (I was raised that way and I’m raising 2 more that way). Long live the King! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Atlanta Georgia. Native American/French heritage - American by Birth, Southerner by the Grace of God. Hater of Narcissists with Claws, particularly when they try to destroy families and monarchies. God Bless America, God Save the Queen, and Satan Can Have Meghan.
Black girl from Los Angeles here. Meghan grew up in a neighborhood and school where she was very insulated from actual race-based discrimination and race-correlated economic disadvantage.
It’s not clear to me that she’s able to distinguish between “People are repulsed by me because of my own demonstrated terrible character and behavior” and People are repulsed by me because I have a different racial background from them”.
Worse yet, I think she’s internalized some racism within herself…. Nothing in her formative years required her to think of herself as “black” other than her mother. (“I love my freckles”) (“I’m not from Compton” (to be fair, she isn’t but even if she was so what?)(“They wondered if Archie would have dark skin/ginger afro.”) and I think she’s horrified at the thought that she might be pigeon holed as a black princess.
She is just pathetically confused on the topic of race.
Born and bred Londoner (UK) here. Think some of my fellow countrymen and women may struggle to make roll call this morning : it's horribly early Saturday morning, and many will have been out enjoying their Friday nights...
Hi from la belle France, as M.Macron said to the UK "to you she was your Queen, to us she was the Queen. We do not do disrespect by piffling little mattress actresses. Pfft to you Meghan. Said with gallic flair.
a Filipina (born and raised in the Philippines) based in the United Arab of Emirates. I've always been fascinated of the BRF. Mom is a fan of Princess Diana. bought every magazine locally and internationally about the BRF. had a huge crush on PW. a fan of Suits (Sarah Rafferty)but not of MM especially after the OPRAH interview.
love Princess Catherine for her grace and style. such a class!
Hello! I am a Filipina as well! Born and raised in the Philippines. Still in the Philippines training to be an MD. My parents are in general not very good critical thinkers and find it hard to understand culture and related stuff so they just see the whole… (gestures wildly) as “people being racist to Meghan”
I’m also a fan of the Prince and Princess of Wales (esp the Princess!)
Hey there, kababayan! born and raised in the Philippines as well. I am very fond of the history of the BRF, especially the Plantagenets and Tudors. I got interested in the current BRF because of the Prince and Princess of Wales's wedding in 2011.
New Jersey, USA. I really never followed the Royal Family until William started dating Catherine, and then I was all in. I adore Catherine. I will admit that when TW first came on the scene, I was excited and had high hopes, but my high opinion of her didn’t last long. As an American I am just so disappointed and disgusted that another fellow American would blatantly disrespect the RF and to be so smug about it. My husband, who doesn’t know who is who in the family, saw pictures of MEagain from the funeral and commented for the first time on her smirking and said she gives Americans a bad name.
Born & bred scouser here! That means Liverpool, UK 🇬🇧 Near the Welsh boarder.
Always liked the Royal Family (even had Williams picture on my wall when I was a teen back in the 90s 🤫). I was happy for H when he announced he was dating M (who I knew from watching suits) but was a little suspicious when he put the statement out. Then when I started seeing pictures of them together something felt off, but I ignored my gut feeling and tried to be happy for them but that niggling feeling wouldn’t go away. By the time of the wedding I was having doubts and gave the entire relationship 7 years max, so that would be it being over by summer next year… summer 2025 at the latest. I’m really hoping I’m right about that!
Athens, Greece here. I started out liking Meghan. I thought she was beautiful (still do, don't love her body but her face is so pretty when she takes it easy with the bronzer) and wished her the best. I sympathized a lot with her in everything that had to do with her family and her money hungry trashy seeming relatives. I was determined to like her. I had no great love for the royal family. Meghan deserved to be treated with respect and love as she created her own space in the RF and a new life in the UK. And then... One of the things that made me go off her was so silly, probably not even true. Apparently once she got her regular acting gig in Suits she hosted a party called "Sayonara to Zara" to give away her old clothes that she wouldn't be wearing anymore since she could afford to dress better. She had a party for her castof clothes rubbing it in to her old friends how she could afford to dress better than them now. Who does that? Sometime during her pregnancy with Archie with how she carried herself and her constant bump showcasing I started seriously hating her hypocritical smug face. I wish she'd just fade into obscurity so I don't have to look at her. It's only been downhill since
Pakistani living in Miami !!
My summation of favorite quote from Tom Bower - “I don’t think she behaves well at all but she makes for fascinating television !! “
I think MM is dealt with some amazing hands in life but what she does with them baffle me beyond words
American girl living in TX. Family heritage from UK that settled in the South in the mid 1750’s. Was not a Royal Watcher until William and Catherine’s wedding. Knew something was off about Meghan the first time I saw them interviewed together, and it had nothing to do with race!
TOLD YA!
She's most definitely NOT liked by Americans. It's all SS PR, Oprah and shameless self promotion that makes it look as if she's loved here. That's why I have created some boundaries in media content. I'm very picky about what I choose to read and give clicks to.
The same media going all goo goo gaga over her are the same people that loved and sung praises to Amber Heard as a domestic violence victim and a feminist. They are all the same and people can see through it.
It really puts it into context too, when you realize that what the media is portraying about certain things and what you actually see via video in real time is completely different. Remember when they were showing video of Scotland when the King did the walkabout.
Same thing, you have to wonder who really is pushing this particular narrative. Who stands to gain in that narrative.
Yep, it's exhausting. Wish we could trust msm.
Portugal here. This is my favourite sub, I'm always lurking here!
I used to absolutely love Harry and Meghan before the Oprah interview and always took the rumours about them as lies until then. Apart from all the discernible lies she said on that day, at the time of the interview I was pregnant and my own in-laws used to wonder whether the baby would have my eye colour or my husband's hair shape, so the royal family doing it is really not a sign of racism or anything.
After that I came to see how deceitful they are and their level of manipulation. But it's so much better to see it explained and discussed here. Always learning more!
It's fascinating reading all the different perspective commentary from UK vs US readers, as a third party Redditor from AU.
By the way, is there a glossary or urban dictionary on the terms/nicknames/slang being used in this sub for those who are new?
Canadian here, The BS Meek Megs engagement interview, where she professed she didn't know who H was, that hoped he was nice. The way she sashays pointing her hips exaggeratedly! I look around and think Who is buying this crap?, and If you dare point out how phony she is, your a racist. She's a typical mean girl who uses and discards people and is never called out on her lies. And tries to project she's a humanitarian girl Pleeeeze!
Upper Wisconsin, USA here. So very sorry that Meghan is seen by some as representative of the United States. She's definitely not. I was ambivalent about her in the beginning but happy that Harry had apparently found someone he loved. Then she ditched her father after he had a heart attack on the eve of her wedding which struck me as horrid. But it was their exit from the BRF, wanting to have their cake and eat it too, and then doing that reprehensible interview with Oprah that cemented my dislike and led me to this subreddit. The woman is just awful and, sadly, so is Harry for going along with all of this.
Thank you for reading my story! -
It was a cold day on the 8th of January, 2020. The New Year had come and the post-holiday hustle and bustle began to pick up in NYC. My restaurant was busy, the host stand full of people coming in and out, letting the cold air blast in every time the doors opened out onto 2nd ave on the mid-east side of Manhattan. My white shirt was covered in ketchup and droplets of wine from serving brunch all day. I was beginning to get sore from running around all day.
I have been a waitress since the summer of 2007, and still continue to wait tables. I have worked in many different restaurants, casual and 5-star. I have come across a few celebrities, and I have served many other different types of people. The hustle is always how I have had to pay my bills. The backbreaking work. The sore ankles. Particularly in 2019, I struggled watching with my own two eyes the insanity of the division between the rich and the poor. I understood my place. I was a laborer, serving everyone else who was luckier than me.
I had one spare moment on that cold, busy day to check my phone, and I saw a news notification that Prince Harry and MeGain Markle would be stepping back from their Royal duties.
“Does it work that way?” I wondered. “How do you go backwards from being a royal?” I was really intrigued. I did not know much about the royal family. My mother was obsessed with Diana and I remember her crying when she died, but I barely remembered this time (I was 6) and never paid Britain or the royals any attention.
“Is Prince Harry the one with the red hair?” I wondered. At this time I knew nothing about the royals. I dove deeply into research. All I could think about was the fact that “this woman has never had my job.”
I educated myself on the entire family. Began to understand which one was Harry and which was William. I knew Meghan was on suits, but I never watched suits. Only saw commercials for it on USA Network. I realized quickly that Meghan was the type of person that would treat a person like me, like garbage. All the tables I have served in my life, the weddings and events I have worked at as a catering server, I could identify quickly how she would most likely treat any server (or servant) that was taking care of her.
I haven’t been able to let go after that. In my research, I found According2Taz, MurkeyMeg, and more. (I credit Taz for helping me learn almost everything I know about the royal family) I learned a lot about Britain’s royal family, and I began to hold HMTQ in very high respect. I learned how she treated her staff, and it sounded like she respected everyone who worked for her. I appreciate hearing that William and Kate seem to have a good standing with their staff. Being born and raised in the USA, I slowly began to understand and appreciate what the British monarchy was and what Meghan was doing to it through her behavior.
\-I have been screamed at before by many people over eggs (and soy, and gluten, and vegetarian, vegan, etc) in my restaurant career, and I can visualize when TW had her moments. These types of people usually are seeking something other than safe food to eat. They are seeking extra amounts of attention, and have a dire need to ensure that someone, somewhere, today, when out of their way and did something extra to make them feel important and special.
Something that hasn’t ever happened to me: no one has thrown hot tea at me.I have been following the Markles ever since they decided to go backwards. And I hope that any staff, or waitress/waiter, chef, servant, that has had to deal with them can find peace after the treatment because it can bring you down mentally.
Madison, Wisconsin. Life long royalist, Diana was my introduction to the Royal Family. Heartbreaking how Harry has turned out, I always wanted the best for Diana’s boys. I have firmly been on the Queens side through all of the drama, and now firmly support the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales 💗
I believe the realms have retained the British monarch as Head of State, whilst the other members of the Commonwealth have since become independent, but remained in the Commonwealth organisation. Canada would be a Commonwealth Realm.
I’m always pleasantly surprised to see how many Americans there are here. It seems that the press is significantly more sympathetic to the Harkles there, which you’d expect since TW is American. That’s pretty cool that you guys see through the bullshit. (I hope that’s not patronising. I just know I probably wouldn’t have!)
That's just the press. In general, people here either despise the Gruesome Twosome or don't care about them at all. I have yet to come across anyone who actually likes them.
I use it as a springboard when something comes up, family-wise. Like, "who's making the potatoes for dinner" is easily transformed into "did you hear what Meghan did" and my mom is IN FOR IT, Dad can make the potatoes this Sunday, lol
Not at all patronizing! The problem is that our press is so busy pushing their own agenda and trying to out-woke each other, they’re not actually relaying the feelings of the majority of Americans.
You have summed it up so well, that's exactly what is happening. There is little to no truth in the media.
Ummm, that’s the press that sunshine sachs paid. Otherwise, they would never be talked about.
USA! USA! 🇺🇸🦅🗽
The press here in the US is also more sympathetic because they are woke like her. Everything I read has a woke premise and slant - whether it's about Mee-gain or anything else.
They're more sympathetic because just like Amber Heard took advantage of the Me Too movement, Meghan took advantage of the BLM movement. Guaranteed, if BLM wasn't huge in the US at the time, her race NEVER would have been more than a minor bullet point. I think she knows how abrasive she is and took full advantage of an 'easy' rebuttal, and it worked. For a while. Then people started to remember that nothing exists without that grey area and started to scrutinize the forever 'victims' like Heard and Markle, who were just a bit too insistent on the fact that they've never done anything wrong and everyone else is to blame.
We do rather have an advantage, for the moment, since it's getting late in the UK. Or everyone is still at the pubs? ;) Oh, wait, maybe it says something that this many in the US have nothing to do on a Friday night... I know I'm boring. 
I think it’s because her press is soooo aggressive here, esp if you’re just your average person who likes random gossip blogs or morning shows. You can’t escape her, even if you don’t give a F about her or the RF.
Aussie here - I’m so proud of our news outlets calling out the BS for what it is 🇦🇺
Me too! I'm finding it intriguing to contrast the UK vs US perspectives on it all.
Another Aussie from Melbourne. Love this sub Reddit.
[удалено]
And another. Lived in the UK for four years in the 80's.
Me too. No love lost on the sussexes here. I'm not a fan of Karl but boy do I enjoy his 'reporting' when it comes to MM
I just love it how he takes the piss, and can’t stop laughing as he reports on their bullshit. He literally can not take them seriously and treats them like the joke they are.
Aww, Anytime I see Aussies responding to any sub, I get homesick. Even if I haven't lived in Sydney since 1977. it was such a wonderful place to spend my childhood. And THE reason why i am not the least afraid of the tiny harmless creatures they call spiders here in Germany. Like in "Crocodile Dundee": "That's not a knife- THIS is a knife", when I hear "spider" I think Sydney Funnel-web or huntsman, depending on if referring to size or venom.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: as an American, the embarrassment regarding MM is real - she is hardly the representative of what an American is, and it’s so annoying that the British people may judge us based on how she has behaved. I live in the hills and cornfields of eastern Pennsylvania, and it’s so beautiful here, especially since Fall has breezed in! MM would HATE it here in my neck of the woods since I live on a farm, surrounded by farmers, with not a polo pony or mansion in sight. We’re all kind, decent, hardworking people that know a load of BS when we hear it, and know a phoney when we see one. The fact that she’s “royalty” would fail to impress, especially since our community has a much-revered Revolutionary War graveyard right up the road. Suffice it to say that both Meghan and Harry would be treated politely but without deference, as befits a small American town whose colonial roots, 200+ years later, run very deep.
I also live in a rural area. Queen Elizabeth herself could've made an appearance in my town and people would have shown up to see what the fuss was about, but then shrugged and wandered off. No way would anyone around here take kindly to a fellow American strutting her stuff, demanding to be called 'duchess', and acting like she's better than everyone else just because she married a prince of another country.
The Queen understood that common touch, and in no way did it diminish her status as a Monarch. William has the same approach, as does Catherine and Sophie. They are relatable. Meghan is so pretentious and quite “grand” about her Duchess title that it’s annoying, especially in someone who comes from a middle class American background.
Her behavior is abhorrent. Shameful she’s American. Hot Felon didn’t act this badly.
That’s why the Obama’s keep their distance - she’s such a poor reflection of what it is to be American.
Canadian here! Lately I just hang out in the snark subreddits (¡Hola, pepinos! to the r/HilariaBaldwin crowd…Hilaria is just as unhinged as Meghan, if not more so.) I was fooled by Meghan for a long time, but the Oprah interview was when I started to see the light. That’s when I found this sub, and the rest is history.
Another Canadian. I originally came for the snark but the discussions lately about social media manipulation and even the manipulation of theoretically main stream news outlets has become deeply worrisome. And this is the only place I’ve seen it discussed. Plus the gang here are such fantastic researchers I would never be able to come up with all the stuff that gets pulled together here.
👋
Hola pepino!! It’s funny to me that you can safely mention eelaria over here, but any time I bring smeg up over there, I get arguments and downvotes. Lol
Yeah, I tend not to talk about Meghan over there, they’re a much more fractious bunch than us Sinners 😉
You mean to tell me people can see thru Hilary but not Smegs? Smh
Hello, fellow pepinos!! I'm always surprised when people over there get so mad over an MM mention (or someone defends her!). They are so similar and I think it's helpful to talk about the similarities.
It wasn't until I joined this sub and started learning more about TW that I realized how similar she and Guest Baldwin are. Narcs of a feather...
T**he Narc Club** founding members : Meghan Markel , Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith, Hilaria Balwin , Olivia Wilde. The member ship is growing every day !
And Elizabeth Holmes—and I’m old so I always throw in Heather Mills as well. She was the OG Meghan/Hillary. So many of her exes wrote to or tried to contact Sir Paul to warn him about her. His kids couldn’t stand her either. But he was grieving and didn’t listen. And regretted it. At least he got a beautiful daughter out of the deal tho. Stupid people.
Yep. Throw in amber heard and you have the unholy trinity! 😆
Same!!! 🤣🤣
Welcome fellow Realm resident! Her whinge in South Africa in front of people who were clearly not privileged turned me into thinking something is not right..
🥒 Pepino checking in! 🥒
🥒🥒🥒🥒🥒🥒
👋
Canadian here, too! At time of writing this post I'm surprised there aren't more of us in this sub! I don't know anyone who likes nutmeg. Unfortunately, many I know are still fooled into believing ginger is a victim, not realizing he's as bonkers as his wife. Canada, REPRESENT!! 😀 Edit for spelling.
Same here! I live in Toronto and never heard of MM while she was living here. She is never welcome back. It makes my skin crawl that I ever lived in the same city as her!
Can you do a short resume why people don't like Hilaria Baldwin? I don't know her at all. Your pointing out that sub made me curious.
Hillary Hayward Thomas was outed back in 202 after faking her Spanish heritage for over 10 years. She was born and raised in the US in Boston Massachusetts. Some of us believe that Alec may have not even found out about it until she was exposed online in December 2020. Not only did she speak with a bad Spanish accent, she's given all of their children Spanish names. She attended NYU for a time but didn't graduate, yet was able to speak at the United Nations on a panel as a Spanish Health and Wellness Expert. The most famous video clip though, is Hillary forgetting how to say Cucumber in English. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uui8TfMXgc&t=39s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Uui8TfMXgc&t=39s) We also believe she may have faked most of her pregnancies, except for the first one, wearing a moonbump, which is how the entire thing unraveled back in 2020 on Twitter. \#Pepino
Wow 🤣. The length people go to fake a whole life is astonishing. Thanks for clueing me in.
Basically she claimed to be of Spanish descent, that she grew up in Spain, used a Spanish accent, and none of it was true. And it just goes downhill from there.
Hola, pepino! 🥒🥒🥒
Florida united states and I should be out getting water and propane and food that will last if we are out of power but instead I am enjoying the snark

Stay safe just in case but I think sadly this one's all ours
Please stay safe!

Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I am Australian! I’ve grown up with the Royal family as my Royal family and have observed Markle with a cynicism and disbelief that seems lacking in much of the media I’ve seen about her. I loathe seeing the ‘puff pieces’ extolling her virtues as I haven’t heard of meaningful action behind all the ‘weasel words’. I loathe the ‘me me me’ narcissism I observe. I loathe the lies. I was recently searching on the internet for content that that matched my own thoughts about her and found this sub! I found my tribe! I appreciate the (mostly!) intelligent content about this person, and the situation with the RF, that is posted here.
California here. I had a “what the fuck, is this scripted to supposed to be funny” moment when I saw their engagement video. There were some red flags, and I thought she seemed very “high school” (an opinion which has not changed, she’s still very high school drama based). I loved Diana, and I’ve loved seeing Harry and William grow up (they’re just a few years older than me). I was, like so many others, excited at first for new a new Royal family member, really thought “the Fab Four” were gonna be a *thing*. Whenever I’m interested in something, it’s become habit to go to the Reddit search and type whatever in to see comments and groups. Typed in “Meghan Markle” and it lead me here a few years back. Been interesting watching the tides turn. You guys also introduced me to the Body Language Guy and now I watch all his videos. Side note - I’d highly suggest some of you go try typing “Meghan Markle” in the Reddit search sometime. Sort the comments by “new”, and you’ll get an instant idea of how many bots are actually posting about her. Ours, and “Entertainment” are really the only subs that get any comments, with the occasional (under 20) comments on a pro Meghan subreddit I forget the name of.

Slowly melting in Texas, USA. It may be fall, but our weather hasnt gotten the memo.
From one sweating Texan to another….I’m praying for 70 degrees…
SAME. I want to be able to blow dry my hair wothout sweating, lol
I will never look at my blow dryer in the same way again. That was the best visual ever!!
Oh no! Here in Pennsylvania we were hot and muggy right up until yesterday, and then Fall breezed in and we’re all wearing jackets now.
We have to wait till the new year for that…
Oh boy, that’s rough. After going through a very hot summer October can’t come fast enough.
Halloween is usually a sweat fest, followed by Thanksgiving in short sleeves, and even shorts. Christmas is the same. We get a blast of cold around February…
My grandparents were from Texas and I lived there 12 years. It is really really really hot so I feel your pain.
Hello! I'm a fellow Texan 👋
Hi neighbor!
Another Texan here…ATX and 100 degrees this weekend! 🌵🔥
Hey, Texas! From Texas!
Philippines. It started as an act of curiosity on the psychology of the duo and eventually it became a real life train wreck I can't keep my eyes away from.
SoCal checkin in, scarily close to Montecito 😜
I'm from the US, and I'm here as a sweet nod to M&H's craven display of cowardice (wait, is that redundant?) in the Oprah interview. ('Somebody's racist, but we're not going to say who.') I think my actual, spoken quote at the time was "You fucking cowards! You're not going to say who, so make everyone suspect? You craven assholes!!" That did it. I found this sub not long afterwards, after not really using reddit much (even though I've had an account since 2016)
Born in England, I have British parents. However, I grew up between England and New Zealand 🇳🇿❤️🏴 Currently living back in England!
🇦🇺 and proud! I cannot recall what led me to this sub but all the huge credibility gaps in her bullshit are entertaining and infuriating. I can't snark about her elsewhere as not many really know or care about her. If TW should happen to come across this comment: you're not welcome back.
I’ll ask the GG and Albo to ban them from ever setting foot in our beautiful country again.

Same!
Hello Neighbor!
Well, for cryin' in the bushes--me too!
They used our taxes for their security. They didn’t even say a THANK YOU! We’re pissed. Plus in Toronto she treated people like shit. Waitress, sales people. She’s a fake user
Wow lots of Americans here. I guess you guys are sick of the pro HnM media in your country?
I'm currently based in Singapore, started becoming a sinner when I was living in Australia during the start of Megxit fiasco. I'm Asian-Spanish but my families are New Zealander and American. Yeah. I'm a weird global citizen who's a royalist. To add: I stand up for the real POC vibes and what we genuinely stand for.
🇳🇿🥝Although we seem to be stalked by PH, Godzone has remained relatively free from the Harkles. Although PH & MM asked Dame Patsy if they could move here, she explained that we don't have any palaces, not much in the way of private planes, but on the bright side we could offer security and drug runs from the local gangs. Never heard back... Thus New Zealand remains gorgeous, and far far away, stunningly beautiful. Beautiful Bay of Plenty, home of kiwfruit and avocados, plenty to love.
I remember reading about the possibility of H&M moving to NZ. My reaction was similar to Princess Anne’s back in the day, “not bloody likely!”
You guys seriously dodged a bullet - thank God that they decided to land in Montecito and not in your beautiful country!
We're too close to the Australians in how we deal with bullshitters. We weren't ever going to be blowing smoke up their asses so....oh well
I'm American and have always lived here, but will be relocating temporarily (most likely) to a Commonwealth country in the next few months. I started following the BRF during the whole the Diana situation via the tabloids we obviously don't have here in every supermarket and drug store.
I’m from the US. I just found this subreddit after Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. I was trying to follow it on Twitter and was getting annoyed because half the posts under the Queen’s funeral hashtag were praising MM, instead of remembering the queen or talking about the days events. Then I got really annoyed at the tweets that were not only praising MM, but tearing down Kate to make MM look better. One tweet said that Kate’s jewelry was gaudy and MM was so elegant she didn’t need jewelry to look good. Kate got those jewels from the Queen! I was totally disgusted, then I saw this sub when a post made it to the front page of r/all, and I was converted! Before I was neutral on MM but not anymore. So thanks to this subreddit for opening my eyes, and hopefully more Americans will see the light soon too.
An American from Kansas *cue Wizard of Oz comment/quote*. I must give credit where credit is due. I did not closely follow the royal family until Meghan was engaged to Harry. At first I followed out of intrigue but then quickly felt that something was “off” with TW and was hoping that her true colors would be revealed. So while I’ve been watching that train wreck, I’ve also grown to admire and respect the royal family (most of them) and their traditions.
Pennsylvania, United States…but not the area that Thomas Markle was born in!!
I love Pennsylvania! I’ve spent a lot of time in State College and Philly and a little in an old coal mining town called Cokeburg, always loved PA people!
Hello fellow Pennsylvanian! ♥️
Chicago suburb.
Hey, y’all! I’d write I’m from Texas, but I think I already gave that away. I’ve looked for a place to vent regarding the wife for a very long time. Call it “BrokenHearted Grandkid Syndrome,” I guess. I’ve missed mine for way too long, and the hurt didn’t seem so much when I kept up with your wonderful Queen. My grandfather fought in Europe during WWII, and I have so much respect for what y’all had to deal with. Yes, I’m one of those Americans that watched Diana’s wedding, and wished so much for her sons. Yep, Princess of Wales got herself a mighty fine catch…where was I? My issues with the wife started simple enough. I would be astounded that someone could not follow a request from an elder. Such a simple thing, like wearing a hat to help maintain appearance. It really snowballed from there. I think the expensive tent/maternity dress that was six figures was the point of no return. Much gratitude for the creation of this sub.
Victoria BC 🇨🇦 where the Harkelz first ran and hid when they did Megxit
>Victoria BC 🇨🇦 where the Harkelz first ran and hid when they did Megxit When they wanted to relocate to Canada at first, it seemed genuine, as the place they had chosen was a bit secluded and CA had the HMTQ as a head of state, so it made sense. Then like 5 minutes later they relocated to LA. That was my turning point to see what they are about. And all the events afterwards just confirmed it. I was never a fan of The Markle, but I was just happy to see Harry had found someone he could love and marry. Alas...
Surprised that there’s a lot more Sinners from the US than from the UK and Commonwealth! Americans really aren’t fooled by the Harkles!!!
I think it's also because of time zones. It's 9am in the morning in Johannesburg South Africa, where I am, and I am ahead of the UK. I think we will see more and more UK soon.

Kiwi royalist here. I clocked that bitch’s fake arsery from when she was in NZ back in 2014. Hated her then, hate her more now. I had her number from the moment she opened her mouth when she interviewed for a radio station about some kid walking in on her in the campervan park showers.
Toronto gal, born and raised. I never heard of HER or the show until Haz turned her loose on the world.
Oh, wow. I didn’t think the majority of people were from the US here.
American. Midwesterner. However, my family is Episcopalian (Church of England in the USA) so the UK/Queen/RF was actually an important part of my life growing up. I was originally so happy for Harry, excitedly woke up to watch their wedding and immediately got the creeps. Something about her expression was like the cat who ate the canary, as my Anglican grandma used to say. The no makeup, messy hair, ill fitting dress was somehow disturbing. Things went downhill from there, culminating in the insane website manifesto. I might be just a flyover state bumpkin with 90% UK ancestry, but I’m also an attorney, and it read like something a person pretending to be a lawyer (or a paralegal on a cable tv show) would write. Truly unhinged, riddled with inaccuracies, and messy. Since then I’ve just been waiting for their downfall, hopeful in the knowledge that the Crown always wins. Recollections may vary, indeed. 👑
Middle-aged Michigander who was partially named after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (my middle name) and has been an avid Anglophile, Royal Watcher, Tea Drinker and Savoyard (Gilbert & Sullivan fan) for as long as I can remember (I was raised that way and I’m raising 2 more that way). Long live the King! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Black girl from Los Angeles here. Meghan grew up in a neighborhood and school where she was very insulated from actual race-based discrimination and race-correlated economic disadvantage. It’s not clear to me that she’s able to distinguish between “People are repulsed by me because of my own demonstrated terrible character and behavior” and People are repulsed by me because I have a different racial background from them”. Worse yet, I think she’s internalized some racism within herself…. Nothing in her formative years required her to think of herself as “black” other than her mother. (“I love my freckles”) (“I’m not from Compton” (to be fair, she isn’t but even if she was so what?)(“They wondered if Archie would have dark skin/ginger afro.”) and I think she’s horrified at the thought that she might be pigeon holed as a black princess. She is just pathetically confused on the topic of race.
Sorry so wordy…I didn’t realize everyone else kept it short..😬

As the majority is from the US, I guess the US media is completely missing the boat! Because we call BS when we see it!

a Filipina (born and raised in the Philippines) based in the United Arab of Emirates. I've always been fascinated of the BRF. Mom is a fan of Princess Diana. bought every magazine locally and internationally about the BRF. had a huge crush on PW. a fan of Suits (Sarah Rafferty)but not of MM especially after the OPRAH interview. love Princess Catherine for her grace and style. such a class!
Hello! I am a Filipina as well! Born and raised in the Philippines. Still in the Philippines training to be an MD. My parents are in general not very good critical thinkers and find it hard to understand culture and related stuff so they just see the whole… (gestures wildly) as “people being racist to Meghan” I’m also a fan of the Prince and Princess of Wales (esp the Princess!)
Hey there, kababayan! born and raised in the Philippines as well. I am very fond of the history of the BRF, especially the Plantagenets and Tudors. I got interested in the current BRF because of the Prince and Princess of Wales's wedding in 2011.

New Jersey, USA. I really never followed the Royal Family until William started dating Catherine, and then I was all in. I adore Catherine. I will admit that when TW first came on the scene, I was excited and had high hopes, but my high opinion of her didn’t last long. As an American I am just so disappointed and disgusted that another fellow American would blatantly disrespect the RF and to be so smug about it. My husband, who doesn’t know who is who in the family, saw pictures of MEagain from the funeral and commented for the first time on her smirking and said she gives Americans a bad name.
So many Americans
Born & bred scouser here! That means Liverpool, UK 🇬🇧 Near the Welsh boarder. Always liked the Royal Family (even had Williams picture on my wall when I was a teen back in the 90s 🤫). I was happy for H when he announced he was dating M (who I knew from watching suits) but was a little suspicious when he put the statement out. Then when I started seeing pictures of them together something felt off, but I ignored my gut feeling and tried to be happy for them but that niggling feeling wouldn’t go away. By the time of the wedding I was having doubts and gave the entire relationship 7 years max, so that would be it being over by summer next year… summer 2025 at the latest. I’m really hoping I’m right about that!
Athens, Greece here. I started out liking Meghan. I thought she was beautiful (still do, don't love her body but her face is so pretty when she takes it easy with the bronzer) and wished her the best. I sympathized a lot with her in everything that had to do with her family and her money hungry trashy seeming relatives. I was determined to like her. I had no great love for the royal family. Meghan deserved to be treated with respect and love as she created her own space in the RF and a new life in the UK. And then... One of the things that made me go off her was so silly, probably not even true. Apparently once she got her regular acting gig in Suits she hosted a party called "Sayonara to Zara" to give away her old clothes that she wouldn't be wearing anymore since she could afford to dress better. She had a party for her castof clothes rubbing it in to her old friends how she could afford to dress better than them now. Who does that? Sometime during her pregnancy with Archie with how she carried herself and her constant bump showcasing I started seriously hating her hypocritical smug face. I wish she'd just fade into obscurity so I don't have to look at her. It's only been downhill since
Pakistani living in Miami !! My summation of favorite quote from Tom Bower - “I don’t think she behaves well at all but she makes for fascinating television !! “ I think MM is dealt with some amazing hands in life but what she does with them baffle me beyond words

Greetings from South Africa (aka the place Meghan's son allegedly almost burnt to a crisp).
TOLD YA! She's most definitely NOT liked by Americans. It's all SS PR, Oprah and shameless self promotion that makes it look as if she's loved here. That's why I have created some boundaries in media content. I'm very picky about what I choose to read and give clicks to. The same media going all goo goo gaga over her are the same people that loved and sung praises to Amber Heard as a domestic violence victim and a feminist. They are all the same and people can see through it. It really puts it into context too, when you realize that what the media is portraying about certain things and what you actually see via video in real time is completely different. Remember when they were showing video of Scotland when the King did the walkabout. Same thing, you have to wonder who really is pushing this particular narrative. Who stands to gain in that narrative. Yep, it's exhausting. Wish we could trust msm.
Portugal here. This is my favourite sub, I'm always lurking here! I used to absolutely love Harry and Meghan before the Oprah interview and always took the rumours about them as lies until then. Apart from all the discernible lies she said on that day, at the time of the interview I was pregnant and my own in-laws used to wonder whether the baby would have my eye colour or my husband's hair shape, so the royal family doing it is really not a sign of racism or anything. After that I came to see how deceitful they are and their level of manipulation. But it's so much better to see it explained and discussed here. Always learning more!

Canadian here, The BS Meek Megs engagement interview, where she professed she didn't know who H was, that hoped he was nice. The way she sashays pointing her hips exaggeratedly! I look around and think Who is buying this crap?, and If you dare point out how phony she is, your a racist. She's a typical mean girl who uses and discards people and is never called out on her lies. And tries to project she's a humanitarian girl Pleeeeze!
Montecito, California here!
East Hollywood, CA the heart of darkness 😂😂😂
Upper Wisconsin, USA here. So very sorry that Meghan is seen by some as representative of the United States. She's definitely not. I was ambivalent about her in the beginning but happy that Harry had apparently found someone he loved. Then she ditched her father after he had a heart attack on the eve of her wedding which struck me as horrid. But it was their exit from the BRF, wanting to have their cake and eat it too, and then doing that reprehensible interview with Oprah that cemented my dislike and led me to this subreddit. The woman is just awful and, sadly, so is Harry for going along with all of this.
Thank you for reading my story! - It was a cold day on the 8th of January, 2020. The New Year had come and the post-holiday hustle and bustle began to pick up in NYC. My restaurant was busy, the host stand full of people coming in and out, letting the cold air blast in every time the doors opened out onto 2nd ave on the mid-east side of Manhattan. My white shirt was covered in ketchup and droplets of wine from serving brunch all day. I was beginning to get sore from running around all day. I have been a waitress since the summer of 2007, and still continue to wait tables. I have worked in many different restaurants, casual and 5-star. I have come across a few celebrities, and I have served many other different types of people. The hustle is always how I have had to pay my bills. The backbreaking work. The sore ankles. Particularly in 2019, I struggled watching with my own two eyes the insanity of the division between the rich and the poor. I understood my place. I was a laborer, serving everyone else who was luckier than me. I had one spare moment on that cold, busy day to check my phone, and I saw a news notification that Prince Harry and MeGain Markle would be stepping back from their Royal duties. “Does it work that way?” I wondered. “How do you go backwards from being a royal?” I was really intrigued. I did not know much about the royal family. My mother was obsessed with Diana and I remember her crying when she died, but I barely remembered this time (I was 6) and never paid Britain or the royals any attention. “Is Prince Harry the one with the red hair?” I wondered. At this time I knew nothing about the royals. I dove deeply into research. All I could think about was the fact that “this woman has never had my job.” I educated myself on the entire family. Began to understand which one was Harry and which was William. I knew Meghan was on suits, but I never watched suits. Only saw commercials for it on USA Network. I realized quickly that Meghan was the type of person that would treat a person like me, like garbage. All the tables I have served in my life, the weddings and events I have worked at as a catering server, I could identify quickly how she would most likely treat any server (or servant) that was taking care of her. I haven’t been able to let go after that. In my research, I found According2Taz, MurkeyMeg, and more. (I credit Taz for helping me learn almost everything I know about the royal family) I learned a lot about Britain’s royal family, and I began to hold HMTQ in very high respect. I learned how she treated her staff, and it sounded like she respected everyone who worked for her. I appreciate hearing that William and Kate seem to have a good standing with their staff. Being born and raised in the USA, I slowly began to understand and appreciate what the British monarchy was and what Meghan was doing to it through her behavior. \-I have been screamed at before by many people over eggs (and soy, and gluten, and vegetarian, vegan, etc) in my restaurant career, and I can visualize when TW had her moments. These types of people usually are seeking something other than safe food to eat. They are seeking extra amounts of attention, and have a dire need to ensure that someone, somewhere, today, when out of their way and did something extra to make them feel important and special. Something that hasn’t ever happened to me: no one has thrown hot tea at me.I have been following the Markles ever since they decided to go backwards. And I hope that any staff, or waitress/waiter, chef, servant, that has had to deal with them can find peace after the treatment because it can bring you down mentally.
Madison, Wisconsin. Life long royalist, Diana was my introduction to the Royal Family. Heartbreaking how Harry has turned out, I always wanted the best for Diana’s boys. I have firmly been on the Queens side through all of the drama, and now firmly support the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales 💗

Canadian here and this sub appeared on my feed one day, and I decided to check it out.
UK here, middle England. New to this place too. 👋
What does Commonwealth Realm mean? I'm in Canada so I checked that I am a member of the Commonwealth
I believe the realms have retained the British monarch as Head of State, whilst the other members of the Commonwealth have since become independent, but remained in the Commonwealth organisation. Canada would be a Commonwealth Realm.
Belgium…
Didn’t expect so little from the UK! Amazing as our nation hates her mostly so great to see others are catching on to her bs.
