Typical of the tabloids. All blown up out of proportion as usualTop-selling British tabloids The Sun and The Daily Mail are focusing their fire on Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, over the extraordinary rift that has split the Royal Family and raised huge questions about the future for her and Prince Harry. Friday's headlines fit with a pattern of negative coverage she has endured in the British press for many months for everything from her family background to alleged "demanding" behavior. The Sun, which has criticized Meghan over issues ranging from holding her son's baptism in private to guest editing an edition of British Vogue, has placed the spotlight largely on the Duchess since the couple stunned the world earlier this week with the announcement that they would be stepping back from their roles as senior royals. On Thursday, as the news broke, The Sun dubbed the move in huge font "Megxit." On Friday, the tabloid focused on Meghan's return to Canada to reportedly rejoin their 7-month old son Archie, splashing its front page with "Meg's Mugged Us Orf" using a British colloquialism meaning to be ripped off, and making an apparent reference to the posh accent of the nobility. more www.cnn.com/2020/01/10/media/tabloids-meghan-harry-headlines/index.html The press has always focused its fire on the Royals, of which Megan is now, perhaps temporarily, a member. It really isn't anything new. Not here, at least. I'm sure you're familiar with George III. Perhaps you can imagine the press he got? Less than favourable? Fast forward to Wallace-Simpson: Even more damagingly, the article, which was circulated in May 1937, claimed Mrs Simpson was surrounded by a social set of German-American "social climbers" who had done everything possible to force the king to marry her. It said the cabinet was told there was evidence that she was friendly with Nazi agents.www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/aug/24/alantravisThey all get the treatment, take Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowden. Despite the initial fall-out and embarrassing scandal surrounding the couple, the Queen confided in Lady Anne at her sister's funeral that she did approve of the match. 'I’d just like to say, Anne, it was rather difficult at moments, but I thank you so much for introducing Princess Margaret to Roddy because he made her really happy,' www.tatler.com/gallery/princess-margaret-roddy-llewllyn-romanceThis generation just isn't up to it.

""""" but nosing into private lives is low and no purpose."""" honestly Sysop how can you write that mmmmm I gather that doesn't extend to trump whose private life has been up for grabs in desperation to find some dirt to use against …… so the family meet up is today....hope theres plenty of straight talking.... the Marines who harry is Captain General of...have said that they are not sure they can have or want him in that position if he leaves the country...… and taxation has raised its head... and the reality of paying taxes in three different countries ...that is a lot of tax taxed on unearned income here in the UK and with no expences to set against the amount of tax due plus the cost of Frogmore cottage at the moment free but if they leave the country and the Queen charges them rent.. about 60 thousand a year rental … meghan I think is still an American citizen.. so they are liable for American taxes... and if they live in Canada.. then they are also liable there.... .....plus a big row going on about the cost of security around a million a year... Canada have already said they don't want to pay it.. and the concensus here is that the couple should pay it them selves and get no help from the tax payer.....or his father who gives then over 2 million a year lol Trump does not give a quack. He goes out of his way to get his big mug and his many spoken and written lies on full view as much as possible.

They will always be borrowing [top dollar] places to stay, means of transport etc etc etc from 'their coterie' of friends, like the old windbag formerly known as Elton John. They will get money from the state one way or another, and right-on Justin 'blackface' Trudeau is all too eager, unlike his citizens, to pick up the security tab when they 'holiday' in Canada. The only career these two idiots can pull off is as celebrities. So far, they haven't shown much of a talent for that... Prince Harry studied at Eton, gaining a B in Art and D in Geography in his A Levels.
On the royal's website it simply says: "His Royal Highness went on to Eton College from September 1998 where he took his GCSEs and A Levels."A grade D in Geography at Eton? Like father, like son?

am pretty disgusted with the whole shebang harry has behaved disgracefully utterly selfish oik......and as for her... 20 months and it isn't working for her..and yet she cannot wait to make millions out of the system that isn't working for her.... she is contemptable however will wait and see what the details are... theres no doubt that if the Monarchy is to be kept then it has to alter and people do have to earn their own living..….but and its a big but... it has to be constructed so that so that awful little gold digging megain cannot ever again play the system to the extent she is showing her self willing to do......personally I woulsd strip them both of the duchy title.. and every single penny, take away the hnouse and security... and they would stand or not on their own two feet... I gather his millions are tied up until he is 40... tough... they would have to rely on megains earnings but have to say the sooner he goes to join her the better..... it was great over Christmas not seeing constant garbage about them....
I really want to know who these racist and sexists are who keep being mentioned but never named.....
a friend sugest megain be left for three rounds with the Princess Royal or Zara .. my word megain would come out not so much woke never able to sleep again

I get the impression a lot of people resent Meghan because Harry didn't marry a Brit. That makes it easy for the tabloids to stir things up. Then, you guys swallow it and get all excited because she didn't want to be photographed at a tennis match?

Isn't it strange that, with so many things going on in the rest of the world, the British newspapers would grab hold of this and turn it into such a major hub-bub? I read a couple of articles. Trudeau seems agreeable to Harry, Meghan and child living in Canada part time with only the security details to iron out. I do not see why anyone would object to Meghan being able to earn money of her own. Maybe she would like to help her Mother financially. Who would be obtuse enough to blame her for that? I wish them well.

If not, he would tear up the Constitution, re=arrange the courts and have us into a war. The Brits need to be proud of their Royals and look out for Boris.

Then, you guys swallow it and get all excited because she didn't want to be photographed at a tennis match? oh lawdy….. a/not wish to be photographed... and it was not her place to demand special treatment of the seats around her should remain EMPTY what she showed was an expectation and silly sleb mentality..;;;;and that is what the fuss was about … the expectation that she should have different treatment... and asking her security to tell the chap taking the photo was just laughable.... especially as he wasn't taking a photo of her in the first place .....that sort of behaviour is for slebs such as the Beckhams or Elton Jonhn…..its like the baby shower and the expences that went with it.....its just looked on as trashy..and totally un-necessary showing off...….. and absolutely trump and our royals no comparison.. but then I didn't say there was...Sysop said looking into private lives was wrong and low...…. so I simply drew attention to the amount of energy spent in trying to dig dirt on trump..... tabloids... sorry but it was the BBC not one of the tabloids who first drew attention to meghans attention seeking … there was nothing to stir .. just a show of me me me and foolish""i am special and entitled "" behaviour

I agree with you Dex they have been very stupid …. but at the same time they do think that its unfair and no one understands.... other wise they would have tried to think it out including all the ramifications and legalities...…. and Harry should have been aware even if megan refuses to see sense... that there is far more than just walking away and thinking life can remain the same …...firstly his behaviour to his Queen has been appalling... as a grandson and as a representative of the Armed forces .. he has responsibilities … and income wise... he doesn't have much of an income until he is 40[money in trust] did they think Charles would just continue giving them millions a year to do nothing....at least now they have been told there is no never ending pot they can dip into...….. and above all lets try to be a little bit honest... they are not a couple of kids.. he is 36 and she is 38..old enough to know a lot better.....so spot on Dex… stupid stupid...… but what is more stupid... is the clues have been there all along.... this is an ambitious and ruthless woman who has dumped every one and then moved onto the next …...friends.. family.. husband .. yet more friends.. and now her husbands family and his country...… she didn't even have the bottle to stay and face the music.... the only person to feel sorry for is the Queen...…..

I wish them well. you know Jessie I have often thought that in the last year or so... that there was so much going on in the world... and yet it was rarely commented on.. whether it was on going riots in France.... Isis.. the Yazisi… slavery... mirgration or just plain old fires from Indonesia to the Amazon.... more recently Australia …….democratic rights and peoples votes being over turned ….and the big fight in Hong but hey ho...…. the brit news got hold of this and turned it into a major hub hub...….well no... the brit news did not get hold of this... the couple put it out.....and of course any abdication of responsibilities is big news rather than a hub hub… especially when its a slap in the face to the Queen TWICE by her grandson and an ambitious gold-digger he married.... who after some 20 months has decided this isn't working for me.... and decides to cut and run......actually the real truth is she wants loads a money and to be a big sleb on the circit...a 5bed house in Windsor great park is hardly at the hub of the sleb universe..... harry even pimping her out for a job fronm Disney...….. we will not be paying any more security for this grasping couple .. what ever country wants them can have them....though it may in fact be your own country as that is where she wants to be … but not our problem I could write about the legalities and the difficulties there will be to come and how there will be some grim times for Harry when duty will have to over ride everything .... but don't fancy writing a book … but its not just as simple as walking away... for Harry its complicated
