Exactly...it is so concerning. Not one Aunt, sibling, cousin....no one other than Mom. That is so strange. Some families are small. The way these young men obtained that footage was wrong. I don't feel sorry for any of these commentators. They were more than willing to get paid to record advance comments pretending to have seen the interview. I'm glad they were all outed as experts with a bias. What she is saying about how they said they didn’t want Archie to be a prince? Princess Margaret's children were not prince and princess, so I wouldn't have expected Archie to be either. |

The Firm is the Royal Family. Heard that explanation a couple days ago Yes, but who specifically is telling them these things? Who is all included in these conversations? No idea I’m not watching it I’m just reading the comments here. |

She didn’t say she wanted to commit suicide. She said she was having dark thoughts and felt she didn’t want to be alive anymore and it scared her. Your comment shows extreme ignorance as to what it’s like to be in such a dark place. She certainly did say that. Oprah specifically asked her that. I didn’t mean she wasn’t in a dark place . Gad Nah...you’re just picking apart how she should’ve felt and when. |

Ha!! Well you should watch! She explained the firm was the royal family. But not specifically who It's been reported in the past that Prince Philip uses the term, and in that context he's talking about the senior/working members of the Royal family, because not only are they family they are also a business. It's a collective noun that includes himself and all the people at the top of the Royal family that make the main decisions. I think Meghan's use of it is a cop out though, she's using it instead of individual names such as Charles, or the Queen, probably because it gives her/them the opportunity to still back track at a future date "no I didn't mean the Queen, I meant those horrible palace staff, or the press..." or because she doesn't have any actual facts so she's just using the mysterious "firm" and then no-one can call her out on specifics. |

Oprah clarified she was talking suicide. At least that is how I heard it. Again, posts like this really show ignorance about suicidal ideation. I totally disagree. This is not specifically a thread on suicide. I am not ignorant on it. Trust me. I don’t think anyone on this thread is. I do think it was one of the big bombshells to Come out of the interview though. And a trigger. |

YES --- and there goes a lot of money for the bookmakers in the UK/Vegas etc to bet on the gender (hopefully this is the correct wording) of their child. AND The Canadian Government provided them with security, RCMP were providing security while they were in Canada, round the clock. The Canadian taxpayers paid the tab. Who goes into a "job" / high profile family, the Royal Family without doing ANY research about what it is, the history and the customs and what is expected of you? Doesn't matter that she was an American, she still could have done some due diligence. The Canadian government only provided security until they officially stepped down last March. After that they were on their own. www.eonline.com/news/1126636/meghan-markle-and-prince-harry-s-security-will-no-longer-be-paid-for-by-canada |

She certainly did say that. Oprah specifically asked her that. I didn’t mean she wasn’t in a dark place . Gad Nah...you’re just picking apart how she should’ve felt and when. From CNN: Meghan revealed in her interview with Oprah Winfrey that life in the royal family had driven her to suicidal thoughts. When Winfrey asked if there had been a breaking point, Meghan said yes. "I just didn't see a solution. I would sit up at night, like, I don't understand how all of this is being churned out," she said. "My mom and my friends (were) calling me crying saying, 'Meg, they're not protecting you.'" "It was all happening just because I was breathing," she said. It drove her to the verge of despair, she said. "I was really ashamed to say it at the time, and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry especially, because I know how much loss he has suffered, but I knew that if I didn't say it, that I would do it -- and I just didn't want to be alive anymore." "It was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought. I remember how he just cradled me, and ... I went to the institution, and I said I needed to go somewhere to get help ... and I was told that I couldn't." She went to human resources as well to plead her case for leaving or seeking help, and though they expressed sympathy, they told her there was nothing they could do because she wasn't a paid member of the institution, she was family. "The way you're describing this, you're trapped and couldn't get help, even though you're on the verge of suicide. That's what you are describing, that's what I'm hearing," said Winfrey. "Yes," Meghan replied. "That's the truth." "I share this because there's so many people who are afraid to voice that they need help, and I know how hard it is not just to voice it but to be told no," she said. |

The Canadian government only provided security until they officially stepped down last March. After that they were on their own. And it was when they LEFT Canada to go to the USA, in March that the RCMP stopped providing security. eonline isn't exactly a go-to for information. I have friends within the RCMP who worked this security detail. As part of a Commonwealth family, there are responsibilities within the Commonwealth. |

Of course she is having a girl, there was no doubt in my mind she did gender selection to ensure a girl.
Can't be the woke much feminist as the mother of two boys, she needs a girl for that.
A girl also gives her much netter marketing opportunities than a boy does.
Wait for the multi-page spread family photo spread in some magazine after little Diana Doria Meghansdottir is born.

I mean I would have half way of believed it if she said after Archie was born.“ So, you don’t believe she was suicidal while pregnant. Whatever, indeed. |

Not watching. They are getting a nice chunk of change for this and I am sure that is why they are doing it. They are acting like spoiled reality televisions stars. Don't want to follow the rf rules, then leave and quit trying to capitalize on the shit. But you knew going in there were protocols and what-not it is like taking a job and then expecting them to change the dress code for you. Oprah said at the beginning they weren’t being paid. |

Talking about Sophie, I wondered why Harry and Meghan didn't do what Edward and Sophie have done, still part of the family but plenty of privacy to raise their children whilst supporting the charities that mean something to them. They stated they asked to not be senior members and were told no. Then they were told the security for all of them were being removed. |

Good gravy, have you got a hard-on for hating her. Racist or jealous? Neither. The best indicator of future actions is past behaviour. You are aware that this entire thread is based on them voluntarily airing all their dirty laundry in the media - and that this very interview is guaranteed to put them dead in the middle of the media and public spotlight for many weeks (months?) to come. They have been and are continuing to share many personal details of their lives, and therefore it's reasonable to assume that they plan to continue along this path in the future. After this Royal money will dry up and they will need to continue to sell themselves out. A baby girl will be much more merchable - why else do you think this "very private" couple just revealed the gender in an Oprah interview that will be shown around the world? |

Sure, Jan. You’re VERY invested in Meghan Markle, or rather, your hate of her. I’ve observed it anytime there’s a thread about her. You take every opportunity to dehumanize her. It’s very strange and begs the question, why? What relevance does she have in your life? How does she affect you in any way? I mean, WHO THE FUCK CARES!? But you obviously do...a great deal.

No, this thread isn’t about suicide. But there are several comments that are troubling in regards to how people view mental health issues and suicidal ideation. For one thing, having suicidal thoughts doesn’t mean that someone “wants” to die. And many women do have suicidal thoughts—during pregnancy and beyond. Saying that she must be lying (because, after all, what kind of mother would have mental health issues, right?) is not helpful for her or those who are also feeling this way. These comments also came across to me as if people have a choice if they have suicidal thoughts or not, which is often not true.
