In the past 24 hours, we’ve seen a rash of dumb garbage people willfully misrepresent the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Time Magazine video. At this point, Piers Morgan, the entire Daily Mail staff and all of the Trump White House would have you believe that Meghan personally looked into the camera and called Donald Trump a Nazi. She did nothing of the kind, although we can all assume what’s in her heart. No, Meghan actually just gave a standard message of encouragement to vote. It was Prince Harry who said “it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.” Seen in context of the larger GOTV message, of course it was “about” the largest agent of hate, Donald Trump. But again, Harry didn’t name-check Trump and again, Harry’s words are only critical of Trump specifically if you equate Trump with hate speech. But allow a Daily Mail reporter and Donald Trump to willfully misrepresent what was said:
The question, from Daily Mail reporter Nikki Schwab: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chimed in on the U.S. election and essentially encouraged people to vote for Joe Biden. Wondering if I could get your reaction to that?”
Trump’s response: “I’m not a fan of hers and I would say this — and she probably has heard that — but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, cause he’s gonna need it.”
A few things: it is wildly inappropriate for a “president” to attack a private citizen. “Essentially” is doing a lot of work in the question. Donald Trump is a piece of sh-t. Trump immediately blamed Meghan even though it was Harry who said “reject hate speech.” Trump is doing what he always does: paint women (especially women of color) as “nasty” and mouthy, as ballbusters who don’t know their place. This is all so pathetic.
PS… Remember when Trump called Meghan “nasty” on the eve of his state visit to England and then the British media spent his entire visit bashing Meghan because she didn’t go to any of the events… because she had just given birth one month beforehand? Good times. And by that I mean, just another example of why Meghan and Harry got the hell out of there.

It’s scary how the UK press is intent on harassing the Sussexes on a completely different continent.
The bigger picture is that the UK tabloid sent a reporter to ask an American President a stupid question in a time where both countries have more pressing issues. The legitimate media had important questions to ask Trump concerning voting, the pandemic, civil unrest and his son being called to testify. Instead of the focus being on those issues we have the Brits wasting our time because they dislike Meghan that much. It’s all so sad.
To add to the bigger picture, the UK reporter was from the Mail the paper that
a) has published thousands of vitriolic articles about Meghan in what can only be described as a campaign of hatred.
b) she’s suing.
Can you imagine a member of TMZ asking a question to the UK Prime Minister…surely the British Public would be outraged. Considering they are on the verge of financial collapse and a shutdown due to COVID
The biggest picture is Trump threatened to throw away the ballots and seize power after the election and the follow up question was about Meghan Markle.
I see the bigger picture here. Meghan received the biggest endorsement she could ever have. The British press is the most vicious in the world and whilst they will continue to hunt H and M for years to come, they are making them very bankable. Luckily H and M are prepared for anything and will continue undeterred as they have some pretty powerful supporters unlike Diana.
The British tabs are making bank off of Meghan and Harry hatred. They really think that going after Meghan is going to make Harry all of a sudden drop her and come running back to the UK.
If they stopped going after Meghan and Harry they might actually have to write about Andrew and his criminal activities. And we can’t have that can we?
Once Liz is gone the royal family is in deep trouble both politically and media-wise.
“The British press is the most vicious in the world”
I’m beginning to think this is a badge they wear with honour.
Why is Meghan being blamed? (Yes I do know why). She is a private citizen of the country. She can do whatever she likes as said citizen.
And before anyone says anything, as a UK citizen myself, I’m not going to get outraged at them for not following the “rules” working royals are meant to follow.
They aren’t working royals, they don’t take public money therefore, they should be treated the same way the York girls (who have HRHs) are treated (for the most part) – left alone.
How low will the British media go?
That’s a good point. Oh this was supposed to be underneath your longer comment above Molly.
The British press will go far lower than you can imagine and Harry is prepared for it. The best thing to do is to carry on and thrive which Meghan is doing. Contrast with the other family members who are clearly struggling despite being seemingly protected.
They are blood thirsty. For example a few months before Caroline flacks death, the Sun posted a picture of blood when she had that incident with her boyfriend. It was to give the impression that she did that to her boyfriend when it was actually her blood cos she cut her hand. When she died of suicide desperate Dan Wootton was all over twitter posting his condolences saying her was friends with her. He didn’t have one ounce of guilt or shame. Exactly the same with Diana, the media literally chased her to her death, and not even a tiny bit of remorse.
They’re psychopaths, all of them. Shame, remorse, empathy, emotions etc aren’t things they experience. Once you accept that, its slightly easier to deal with them.
I think we’ve established by now that their lowest point has a basement…so no surprise there.
As long as there is a dollar to be found, they will continue to dig lower and lower. The bottom line is money. And that’s why suing them is the only way to hit them…right in the wallet. I wish more celebs/royals/victims would follow suit.
When you look at those who don’t like Meghan (Trump, Piers Morgan, the Daily Mail…), you realise she has to be doing something right.
I’d be worried if they did like her.
Exactly! I don’t know why people are upset about those comments by the whatever in chief. Of course Harry needs all the luck in the world and he got it in Meghan who gave him the reason to leave his toxic family.
Americans are upset because he is supposed to represent us in public and that means ALL of us, not those few he picks and chooses who worship him. It’s embarrassing to have a representative who acts so spiteful.
Spot on, equality.
Exactly. Sometimes, when I don’t know a person’s history, I look at the people cheering them on and those hating on them and I get and idea of that person’s character. Some of the most loathsome characters (such as Katie Hopkins and Piers Morgan) have an inexplicable dislike of Meghan. If you ever find yourself on the same side on any issue as Hopkins, then you know it’s a good time to start questioning your morals and values in life.
The people cheering on Meghan are some of the most admirable and accomplished individuals (Michelle Obame, Gloria Steinem). Meghan should wear this as a badge of honour and keep her head high and carry on. Those with good values and morals are cheering her on.
Yes, this is true and I’ve noticed that almost from the start of her introduction to the larger world. Decent, admirable people like her and not so admirable people inexplicable despise her, hard not to conclude why.
@Myra
Your comment needs a crown. 👑 😘
Very true, they don’t really how badly this is gonna age for them, this is getting to the equivalent of Hitler trying to criticise someone. Having one of the worst facist dictators in soon to be history slag you off and see you as the antithesis of his morals is truly the highest honour lol! Hope he praises Kate at some point just to add an extra historical zing!
Being a meghan hater is synonymous with being a racist. If anyone with actual credibility bashed her, then I would be really bothered. It’s better that it’s the likes of piers and trump, because they represent all that is hateful. The worst is when is see people say ‘you don’t have to be racist to hate meghan’. That would usually be the true, you are free to like or dislike any celeb regardless of their ethnicity. Expect for the fact that those people who do hate her are agreeing with those who ARE racist. Racists also claim to not be racist either, so you can’t agree with someone’s prejudices and expect people to not think your prejudice too. Anyone who thinks her treatment was fair has no problem seeing a person of colour punished for no reason.
In the case of the Brits who attack her, it made me realize how superior they believe they are to Americans. I used to want to visit the country; now it seems unappealing. There is also the fact that the Meghan-haters are so vicious, unrelenting and personal about their dislike. If I don’t admire a celebrity, I don’t go on a campaign of hate; I ignore news about that person. I also acknowledge when they do something charitable even if I’m not a fan. These people go all-out in finding news about Harry and Meghan so they can make nasty comments and nit-pick every word, their appearance, and anything they wear. Then they have the nerve to say it’s their actions and not racism. If your comment is calling her skin “greasy”, asking about her “natural” hair, etc. how do you defend that? I don’t see that level of hatred on comments about any other public figure.
Yes, the obsessive hatred is race-based and this president embraces it. Fk him and those who support him.
Ding ding ding! Right on point February it makes me laugh that people who are racist thing having a tantrum and saying they’re not makes them any less racist!
I noticed that and if you pay attention to the regular people online who post hate for Meghan, they are almost always trump supporters, or Brexiters, or right wingers, or White supremacist.
Very true! I was going through the comment section on a MEgHaN hate account just to see the demographic and 100% of them were trump supporters loll!
I felt so despondent when I saw this yesterday. I can’t really seem to remember what it was like to have a President who would never. Dignity and class. Gravitas. I just don’t remember. It’s as if I’ve lived underneath this pig forever.
Imagine being a woman and voting for this? I have 3 in my family. I can’t even bear to look at them any longer.
I live in an area that is VERY pro Trump and it’s depressing. I have a neighbor that has a “Women for Trump” sign in her yard. I have a bunch of relatives that love him. I don’t get it.
You should put a “Chickens for Colonel Sanders” sign up in your yard. I will design it and have it made for you if you want to do it. On me. Serious.
🤣🤣🤣 perfect @Darla

The Trump State visit is when I really realised that the Royal Family didn’t support Meghan. They remained quiet when she was criticised by the press for being on maternity leave, didn’t defend her when Trump attacked her and they forced her to attend Trooping.
Probably because Boris Johnson was so busy sucking up to Trump due to Brexit. Not saying they would have defended her anyway, though. But it looks like Boris hitched his wagon to Trump so hopefully they both go down in flames.
I never expected Boris Johnson to say anything. Why should he? But the Royal Family absolutely but they didn’t. That told me all I need to know about their feelings towards Meghan.
Boris said black people have a lower IQ and refused to deny it, and also used to write. For the far right spectator when they said people in the Commonwealth have pickaninny smiles and a watermelon with the shining grins when the Queen came lmao he might even be w
The UK are hell bent on getting Harry back. They desperately want him to leave her and their son. It’s so sickening. Why can’t they leave them alone? They could go into hiding for 10 years and the British press would still write hundreds of articles a day on them.
At this point it doesn’t even matter if H/M stay together forever, or divorce, Harry is NEVER going back. No matter what happens with H/M in the future, he will blame the lot of them till his dying day for the pain they caused him during his first years of marriage. This is a man who has despised them since he was a boy, that feeling has only strengthened now to include persons in his own family. But I’m sure you are right and they will keep up the drum beat of hate hoping to destroy the relationship.
Agree completely. God forbid M&H break up, Harry will never go back to that country to live full time.
100% I keep saying this, they could all threaten to jump off the balcony of Buckingham palace and Harry wouldn’t come back, they should Goodluck to them because he’s OUT!
I really don’t believe they were making much bank, internationally, from PH “news” before he married Meghan. To my recollection, he was not covered in the tabloid media all that much except for the random new girlfriend or ‘nude in LV’-like story. As a unscientific barometer, The Fail articles’ comments were never at the level they are now. The BM was trying to make money off the Keens and seemed to be OK with the dumb articles about Kween’s feet or whatever. It wasn’t until Meghan literally came into the picture that they saw the benefit of more PH coverage. The Fail, though, took it to another level with the racist, bigoted coverage and the rest, to include The Telegraph, stooped to their level and began cashing in. Throw Piss Morgan and Katie Hateful into the muck, and it really blew up. In the unlikely event PH goes back to England without Meghan, it’ll be ‘news’ for a while, especially because of Archie. But, internationally, I don’t think the BM’s stupid, twisted articles about his causes or family relations will get the coverage (and revenue) they’re used to.
Girl it doesn’t matter Harry would never go back.
if “rejecting hate speech” means you cant be a trump supporter – I think we’re all okay with that. These people keep telling on themselves.
As for what Trump said – I was actually surprised that he was as restrained as he was.
But what does it say about the press right now that this was even a question?
Becks1, exactly. How in the world was the Daily Mail reporter even allowed in there? and to waste a question on Meghan and Harry (no offense!) when America is almost literally falling apart, is unbelievable!
Trump obviously feels: If you are not with me, you are against me. But to make disparaging remarks shows us again what he is and who he is. First Meghan is a private citizen. Second, if he feels this way towards her – imagine how he feels about the rest of the people who do not care for him. I read a post the other day: I will no longer ask myself how Hitler gained power and was able to do what he did. The damage he has done to not only this country but to the office he holds will take years to undo. Lord help us all.
To your part about Hitler is very true and is a telling aspect of human nature. People could and would willingly support a lot of cruel and inhumane acts, if you convince them that it is for the greater good. Sadly, fascism was only defeated through war. Let’s hope that this time it can be defeated through ballots. Let’s also hope for the return of decency and compassion in the oval office.
When I was really young and reading history I used to always wonder how such atrocities as was described was allowed to take place. I couldn’t for the life of me understand how the regular folks sat back and let these awful things take place within their midst and I’ve judged them.
Now, I’m one of those persons future young ones are going to be reading about. I am well aware that atrocities like what’s going on with immigrant children are taking place under my watch as a regular human in America and I feel helpless to do anything about it. I have a better understanding now that during the darkest times in history it was likely that many people were against the evil taking place and being/feeling helpless like I now feel.
Voting, donating, writing to senators, calling and protesting are the only tools I truly have to fight against oppression, but unless enough others are equally enabled to do the same, atrocities will take place/continue to place again and I am sick about it. We are going to be judged harshly by future generations.
We can count on Trump to attack Meghan for the next four years if he wins the election. If he does win he will intensify his insults and put downs.
I’m sure the duchess is happy he is not a fan. Nothing they say will ever not be twisted by the press so I’m glad they are just getting on with life and ignoring the bs.
I initially wanted them to put out a statement against what Trump said but I am glad they didn’t. This was clearly the work of Piers Morgan ( a friend of his and fellow Daily Mail writer) He really wants a reaction from them and is so upset he isn’t getting one. He used to trash Diana until she caved and had him over for tea. He thought he could do this to Meghan and she isn’t biting.
It is sad how Meghan is always blamed for anything and everything…and Harry is the one who often gets the sympathy… and yes, I don’t mean that Trump is sympathetic to Harry, but people used to love Harry when he wore a Nazi suit and played naked billiard but now people hate him because he married to a woman of color.
Thing is even Harry talking about hate speech, misinformation etc doesn’t have to be about Trump given they were backing Stop Hate for profit & he did that article about how social media can help spread hate speech etc. They are well versed in trolling. And thing about misinformation & how social media can help spread it is a big issue & can apply to most political campaign right now.
This was so set up though- the British press love sticking trump on her like that time Fail made up something about security& Trump said they had to pay& the time Trump was asked about her pre royal comments prior to the state visit.
Piers claimed they said reject trump earlier in the day and then his Fail colleague said in the conference they said vote for Biden which is a lie. Very misinformation Harry talked about.
Amazing the Sussexes were even brought up when Trump had just indicated that he wouldn’t step aside easily if he lost…
Racist, old, white misogynist hates opinionated, outspoken, beautiful black woman- colour me shocked! Lol
What is surprising is journalist and media wasting any air on this when Trump is laying down language and taking actions that seem to suggest if he loses he will attempt a coup to hold on to power. But priorities right?
British Media are such losers. This man is alluding to not accepting the election results and probably stealing another term via the Supreme Court and they’re asking him about two private citizens. We have bigger fish to fry than their issues with rejection! GET OVER IT WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS. Leave that bullshit in the UK!
I love how he just assumes that all men are so insecure that they’d prefer a glorified call girl. Probably just jealous because Harry didn’t have to order his wife from a catalog.
You know what? Given the way she’s been treated by the royal family anyway, if I were Meghan, I’d drop the “Duchess” and just change my official title to Enemy of Donald Trump. That’s a badge of fucking honor.
“ You know what? Given the way she’s been treated by the royal family anyway, if I were Meghan, I’d drop the “Duchess” and just change my official title to Enemy of Donald Trump. That’s a badge of fucking honor.”
Nah. One of the things he probably despises about her is her title. He can’t understand how a “worthy” white male like him isn’t titled but a woman of colour is. He can stew in it. Meghan’s the Duchess of Sussex and he’s just plain Donald Trump from Queens.
Just imagine if one, just one, of the other reporters had had the guts to ask “Which part of Meghan and Harry’s comments are you interpreting as criticism of the president?”
Truly though, if Trump and his ilk aren’t calling you names, you’re not doing it right. I imagine also that the Sussexes are pretty popular among those “suburban housewives” Trump is always trying to win. I hope he’s focusing all his attention on tweeting about this today instead of prepping for the debate.
I keep saying that the media seems to have a code where they don’t truly call out each other, just like cops do. Also, they are all so desperately trying to create their angle that they are writing from to actually police for integrity.
We know orange was triggered by woman of colour. But what I dont get those deranged Kate stan who are mostly american supported trump because he hate Meghan now. I mean where is the logic. Sussex like many celebs wont be affected by trump whereas normal woman are messed up for abortion rights. Their hatred for Meghan clouded their judgement.
BS. No woman began supporting trump because he doesn’t like Meghan. they supported him all along and voted for him. I don’t know where you’re getting this from but it’s malarkey.
Yeah, I think the people inclined to hate Meghan with intense vitriol are people who probably already supported Trump, at least privately. It’s a really big leap to decide you all of a sudden like Trump because he talked ish about a random celebrity. He says terrible things about tons of people, and women in particular.
And on the next question, he said he would not accept the results of the election and we need to get rid of all the ballots. It was quite a press conference. A few more blunders and attacks on people. he abruptly announced, without anyone signaling him, that he had to take an emergency phone call. The people on stage with him seemed baffled.
He probably isht his pants on stage. I’m not kidding.
Another Trumpty Dumpty day, another attack on someone who doesn’t bow and worship King Donald. Meghan is not a fan. 🙂
The crazy American president wants to be Czar. Thanks, Mitch McConnell.
Did anyone else here feel like this sounded like a threat? I don’t know what immigration status Harry has but it would not surprise me if the “powers that be” just happened to look into it.
It just occurred to me. This is what Trump said about Ghislane Maxwell, “I wish her luck.” We’re dealing with a, “mob boss,” in the White House.
Exactly what the British media is hoping for. That Trump kicks Harry out of the country so that he can return to misery under their thumb. This obsession will lead to something horrible.
If he gets kicked out of the country, he can’t but if he does as the press want to him too, he’s not returning to the UK.
Canada.
@Bella DuPont….my thought exactly. Canada. We’re close, we’re still part of the Commonwealth and we’re only racist to Indigenous, First Nations peoples, Asian folk, peoples from Iran and India, black people and……..sigh………
Apparently, we’re maybe just a little more polite about being racist, but that’s changing too.
Damn, eh~
He can’t get kicked out though he is married to an American citizen, well that’s what I thought anyway??
And they won’t find anything. Harry and Meghan probably crossed their t’s and dotted their i’s before coming to the US. And they probably have the best lawyers working for them. Harry is also a straight, white, rich, upper class, christian male who’s married to an American citizen. He’s honestly least likely to face any problems.
I’m positive he is on the celebrity O visa no problem. Yep same one that Melania was on
I acc wonder do you think he’s actually Christians, he strikes me more as agnostic or spiritual maybe??
That is exactly what the DM was going for, but I don’t think Trump was smart enough to take the bait. The DM are also responsible for the articles about H&M demanding US security. They want Trump to derail Harry’s immigration status. Trump has brushed them off and focuses on making sexist remarks about Meghan instead. The British press are actively trying to ruin H&Ms livelihood by accusing them of political interference and trying to get the president to respond to that. They aren’t just saying shit for clicks and money anymore. It’s a coordinated effort to get Harry back to the UK.
Trump understands what the UK media wanted. It’s not a coincidence that he called on the Daily mail. Trump can’t afford the bad press of trying to kick an American citizen out of the country. That type of statement would go beyond just Meghan and Harry. So he gave them what he could….red meat on Meghan. The problem for the UK is that the majority of Americans don’t like Trump. Trump had an electoral college victory not a victory based on the popular vote which is the will of the people. I do worry for Meghan/Harry. MAGA is a cult crazy following of Trump.
I’m sure Meghan and Harry are losing LOTS of sleep over this. *eyeroll*. Big Baby’s attention span is short though, so he’ll be on to his next enemy in no time.
I am gonna go out…on a limb and guess this matters not one ounce to either of the Sussexes
But he wishes Ghislaine Maxwell “well.” Yep. If we had nothing more to go on, we’d know that Meghan is a person to be admired.
Perfect insightfulness!
Hah! Trump’s British liaisons really seem to be on the low end (Sorry, Prince Andrew).
Awww, British press and Trump are f*ck buddies!
People, it’s time to sweep out these hateful relics of the past’s hatreds. Just like the statues of Confederates in the US and slave-traders in the UK are being overthrown, it’s time to overthrow these monsters. I’m probably older than most of the people who post here and I can say I am overwhelmed with despair at the possibility that the forces of hate will win.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have taken a stand against hate and bigotry. That’s more than his family has EVER done. I know which side I’m on. The British media and a large number of British people have sided with hate. If the British people didn’t want these stories, or didn’t care about the Sussex family (as so many claim), these stories wouldn’t exist. My father got us out of England because he didn’t think it was a good place to raise Black children. Thank you, daddy.
Why is Daily Mail even there? They are treated as a legitimate news organization but you don’t see the American equivalent of National Enquirer or TMZ as part of the WH press corps. This is where the UK needs to crack down on the bs media outlets. Americans know that TMZ isn’t a serious news operation, but the Daily Mail skates by because Americans assume it is legit by the way it is treated by other organizations. That tabloid plant was an idiot to ask a stupid question just as this fool was going on about destroying ballots.
The British media is so triggered by the Netflix million dollar deal of the Sussexes. They just couldn’t fathom how on earth Harry and Meghan could have closed a jaw-dropping deal of money in the time of Covid. They got blindsided. They expected them to be dirt poor in California. So poor they’d run back to the U.K. with their tail between their legs begging for morsels. Too bad for the British media it didn’t play out the way they envisioned it. Now they resort to dirty tactics like hijacking a press conference and asking Trump about the most inconsequential question in the context of the larger and more pressing issues of the moment. The motive of which is to humiliate Meghan. But they got it wrong. The incident only shone a clear light to the world that the British media is the most vicious media in the world. No matter how much they slam Meghan she’s not called tungsten for no reason. They cannot break her. They know she’s inherently strong and even stronger because her husband loves her. And the latter is what gets their goat.
100% they have kicked it into full gear, they really expect them to be poor and homeless that’s why they were smirking at them staying at Tyler Perry‘s house, they thought it was gonna be their forever. I’d like to see the face of them when they first found out about the Netflix deal and the $14 million house I bet it was a delight!
Was that a threat?
Trump is so shook!His rant isvclearly out of fear. His numbers are dwindling more and he needed a distraction from the 200,000 covid deaths story. He was suspiciously too eager to take that daily fail reporter’s question. It was definitely arranged considering how he attacked Meghan & her currently suing them.
Thankfully none of the American networks are running this as main headline and the news about him not committing to peaceful transfer of power is the main story
Trump hates women who speak up against him, especially women of color. The way he can’t handle even implied criticism shows how thin skinned and egotistical he is. Whatever. She’s put up with so much crap from these blowhard white men, so Trump is just another notch. He already called her a nasty woman. Love how they were chanting at him at Ginsburg’s lying in state. He is not liked at all, so good for Meghan.
Trump wishing Harry luck makes me cringe. The misogynistic idea that a confident, intelligent woman is controlling her husband and a man wouldn’t want an equal.
I wonder what Trump would be like if he’d ever had a wife who wasn’t with him for his money but expected an equal partnership.
He did something similar with John Legend. Legend said something about criminal justice reform , and Trump went on some jealous rant directed at Legend but then called Chrissy Teigen “ his filthy mouth wife”. This is his typical m.o. Misogyny and racism, insult the man by attacking his wife.
Meghan is already $150,000,000 lucky sooooo
Piers Morgan…the Tucker Carlson of England. Even the British accent can’t save him.
Could he be any more transparent??
It’s a badge of honour to be deemed ‘nasty’ by the Orange Menace. Almost like you passed some sort of litmus test as a decent human…. heaven forbid he LIKE you! *gasp* that would send me into a depression tailspin I doubt I’d recover from. #NastyWomenGetSh!tDone
Very true Eve! Being complimented by one of the senior worse because haters and fascist leaders in history isn’t anything to be proud off, and event like that should cause for someone to re-evaluate their whole life!
Double post – eeek.
