starlight7 4,199 Posted February 17, 2019 Depends whether you believe all the rubbish written in the British press . Who really knows? They have a bad track record with Diana, Fergie and the long list of people they bad mouth. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmo 21,932 Posted February 17, 2019 I agree with Arthur Quote ARTHUR EDWARDS Meghan Markle, lighten up. You’re not the new Princess Diana and it’s time you and Prince Harry ended this phoney media war Sun snapper Arthur has some words of advice for the Duchess and how she can start to truly win Brit hearts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toots 12,284 Posted February 17, 2019 What is it with the media? I take what they say with a large pinch of salt. The whole Meghan/Harry thing comes across as a really bad soap opera especially the rumours that they have had a spat with Kate and William. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssiri 2,478 Posted February 18, 2019 Following Princess Diana and the press - they aren’t going to be given a second chance with this, what ever Megan’s family might try to do to keep themselves in the limelight. The press best watch out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am guilty of clicking but while reading whatever guff about the royals, I always think 'how the heck do they (media) know all this stuff that surely is private. Is there a mole leaking all the info? This is on the front cover of Womans Day ......................... by the way I don't buy it. I saw in in the supermarket ............... honest!!!!! Utter tripe as usual. Prince Harry trapped in a loveless marriage...just like his mother Princess Diana He’s got a celebrity wife and a baby on the way but with all the secrets and lies, is the prince beginning to think he’s made a big mistake?

unzippy 3,968 Posted February 18, 2019 I bet when you read deeper, it will say "unnamed source, close to the royals". Which means they made it all up 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Womens day is the worst. Like you I would see the front page at the supermarket queue. Poor old Fifi Box had some utter crap written about her, always with the “new baby joy”, she wasn’t pregnant.....Speculation on who the father of her little girl was, linking her with any bloke she spoke to, the Bondi vet was one, Russell Brand another. I’m sure lots of others copped it as well, including Kate Middleton, but Fifi is the one I always think of. They were unrelenting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure there's a lot of settlements out of court. Wish they would write an article about me and I could settle. Wouldn't need many of those to make you rich.

I remember my mother referring to them as "piffle magazines" - and that was back in the 1960s when they were far less trashy than they are now. I don't know anyone who buys them but obviously someone does. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
