Duchess Meghan criticized for calling a Sussex Squad member to thank her

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry visit Auwal Mosque in Cape Town

Some of the Sussex Squad peeps follow me on Twitter, and I see their tweets on my timeline sometimes, and often they’ll comment on my tweets about royalty. I am aware of all of the various squad fundraisers, including the most recent fundraiser which raised around $60,000 for CAMFED, one of Meghan’s patronages. I think they did it for Meghan’s 39th birthday? And so last week, Meghan called the organizer of the fundraiser and thanked her personally. The organizer is Dani Trin, and Trin tweeted about the call. End of story, right? An online fundraiser happened, it was successful and Meghan called and thanked the person who organized it. Except of course not. The Sun did some “digging” and they claim that Trin has a history of tweeting nasty stuff about the other royals. They spoke to Trin as well:

Meghan and Harry phoned a fan connected to a Twitter account that posted vile abuse about Kate, Wills and the Royal Family to thank her for “enthusiastic support”. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the woman that they were “so moved and so happy” after she helped raise around £45,000 for charities they support. But we can reveal the fundraiser — named as Dani Trin — also uses a Twitter account which has previously posted a string of vile tweets branding the Duchess of Cambridge a “b***h” and a “Karen” and her husband Prince William an “a**hole”. Trin says she was not responsible for the offensive posts.

Only days before Harry, 35, and Meghan, 39, made their gushing phone call, the Henryscousin account also used by Trin accused the Royal Family of being “nasty, pedophilic, racist”. Other posts over the past year made sick jokes about Kate being an “anorexic wrinkly hoe”, a “corner plant” and repeatedly called her “Karen”.

The revelations come just days after Prince Harry warned that social media was stoking a “crisis of hate” and called for online communities to be “defined by compassion”. There is no suggestion the duke and duchess had any knowledge of or condoned the offensive messages. Online support from #SussexSquad Twitter accounts were hailed in the recently published unofficial biography Finding Freedom, which quoted Harry telling a friend: “To see that support and positivity means a lot.”

But archived pages reveal the Henryscousin account — which was deactivated on August 6 — was a cesspit of abuse against the Royal Family. Trin, from Lisbon, Portugal, used the same Henryscousin troll account on June 11 to boast of her personal call from the Sussexes. It came days after a Zoom meeting with royal staff thanking the #SussexSquad group for raising ­charity cash to mark baby Archie’s first birthday.

Trin said she was one of eight #SussexSquad members who had a password to the Henryscousin account but denied personally writing abusive messages. She told The Sun: “I feel like it’s not my place to condemn or approve another person’s tweets. It’s their opinion. Henryscousin was like a forum and I had no control what other ­people posted. The group disbanded and the account was deactivated due to irreconcilable differences.”

But royal expert Tom Quinn, the author of Kensington Palace: An intimate Memoir from Queen Mary to Meghan Markle said the Sussexes had been “naive”. He added: “The fact that Meghan and Harry have thanked a Twitter user that is also connected to nasty, vicious remarks about the Royal Family and others shows once again just how naive they are. The problem is that Meghan and Harry rely on their friends for advice about using social media so they get themselves into trouble. They would be much better using media professionals. But in this — as in so many cases — they always think they know best.”

[From The Sun]

I mean, if calling the Duchess of Cambridge a “Karen” is enough to warrant an exposé by the Sun, then a lot of us are about to get exposed. Kate is a total Karen, I’m just sayin’. And if calling Andrew a pedophile is wrong, I don’t want to be right. So yeah… obviously, some problematic sh-t was tweeted. Meghan personally calling Trin was just about the fundraiser, it wasn’t an endorsement of all of the other stuff. Still, I slightly understand where the British tabloids are coming from by bringing Harry’s speeches about internet hate into the conversation. I kind of wonder if it wouldn’t have been better, long-term, for Meghan to send personal thanks through a third party.

    well, a lot of what was tweeted is no big deal if you ask me. I mean, Prince Andrew IS…what he is. white women make too big a deal over this Karen thing, likening it to a racial slur, shut up!

    BUT…they should be doing all social media through a professional, absolutely. Save yourself a lot of trouble. this goes for all celebrities, right? Just earlier this year I was saying here how I really missed the boat not becoming a celebrity PR pro. Even just social media. I could make big bank and some of the stupid isht they tweet that gets them in hot water is absolutely unbelievable. So, yeah, hire a good pro and save yourself the turmoil. I have a great respect for expertise and when it’s not my lane I will and do pay for a pro. Well worth every penny.

    • crbnftprnt says:

      you really think this is anything other than the scum finding another way to hit back at H&M (in the one-sided fight) If H&M hadn’t acknowledged them, the story would b e they ignored fans who raised thousands of dollars. The Scum, one of the biggest trolls around calling out mean tweets. please. Frightening away H&M support was supposed to be the bonus

  2. Angela says:

    Eeeeeeek yeah regardless of how you feel about Kate she should have sent her a gift basket or something a call looks way too personal…. 60k is an amazing donation though good on that lady for doing that.

    • Ronaldinhio says:

      Why a gift basket?
      She called a charity fundraiser in good faith to thank her for raising a huge sum.
      After digging, the Sun ( no skin in the game in making the Sussexes look bad ) accused the fundraiser of something she denied
      Non story
      The new narrative will be the ‘naive’ Sussexes

  3. Genevieve says:

    If we’re all going to be held to account for interacting with people who have posted unpleasant things on the internet … I just can’t even.

  4. Duchess of Karens says:

    Meh… William & Kate are mental health advocates but they engage on a regular basis with RR who have contributed to detriment of dozens of people’s mental health, including in their own family.

    At least Meg’s engagement was for a person who raised $ for a good cause 💁🏽‍♀️

  5. Beach Dreams says:

    LOL. They can try calling out the Sussex Squad only after:

    1) They properly address the endless racist and threatening comments from royal fans, tinhatters, and generally awful people for the past 4 years

    2) They address why they frequently interact with these tinhatters (Jobson, Palmer, Ship, etc.)

    3) They discuss why the RF loves to delete offensive comments that target everyone EXCEPT for Meghan. It’s especially interesting that in the 18-ish months since they announced that social media policy, they’ve taken great care to ignore all the hateful comments about Meghan on their social media platforms.

    Until all of the above happens, there’s not a damn thing they have a right to complain about.

    • TheOriginalMia says:

      What she said. All this grumbling about Meghan is the height of hypocrisy, especially when some of the RRs get their stories from toxic Meg-hating tumblr and twitter accounts. Spare me!

    • BearcatLawyer says:

      THIS.

      Also, when have the Cambridge Squad been half as generous to their charities?!?

      • GuestWho says:

        They have not. They tried to do a fundraiser and managed to rake in less that $500 (it was probably WAY less than that). Compare that to the $95,000+ just raised for Camfed.

        The problem is that Kates “fans” are really just people who hate Meghan. They have no affinity for doing good deeds.

    • bamaborn says:

      Thank you, Beach Dream!

    • Nic919 says:

      Excellent comment showing the massive hypocrisy on this issue.

    • clomo says:

      Like she said, she didn’t think it would be easy but she thought it would be fair, I naively did too. What has unraveled since she came into that family has been appalling, I wonder if she would do it all over again? I blame her father and sister for really doing their best to ruin her great fortune at the start, what an awful way to start off a marriage, those two going on tv to insult her, outrageous despicable people. I wish H&M the best, they are now neighbors with my mother who would love to have them over for tea, it’s a really nice area. Harry will love the weather, he loved Africa and was maybe tired of that wee and wet island (which I love, but I’m a commoner ha!) and needed more space to fly free and do his own thing.

  6. A says:

    Meghan Markle once shared an elevator with a man convicted of tax fraud. Also, her podiatrist once tweeted ‘tea is for the weak #EverySingleBritishPersonIsALoser’. And I’m pretty sure I saw her once take a full can of Heinz baked beans, pour it on toast and then dump the entire plate into the trash. All while laughing maniacally.

    If The S*n wants anymore insight into this diva, I would encourage one of their writers to contact me by posting a letter directly into the nearest sewer.

  7. Snuffles says:

    Honestly, even if Meghan opted to send a hand written note, the Royal reporters would have still jumped on it. They’re not mad at what was said, they are mad that Meghan acknowledged the Squad and not them. They are mad at the Squad’s unwavering support. They are envious at their ability to coordinate and raise money and do a better job at it than most royals. They are mad that Harry and Meghan inspire this and that charities see this and would rather have an “ex-royal” support than the the “real royals” support. Because they know the Cambridge’s only show up for a photo op every few years for the press and do little else. Some of their patronage’s have had to close their doors recently.

    The Sussex Squad, a group of average men and women are doing a better job than the Cambridge’s without their status or prostrating themselves before the Royal Rota for press or attention and IT IS KILLING THEM.

    • Ginger says:

      Exactly! No matter what Meghan did to say “thanks” would have had the British media in full meltdown mode. The squad is huge and is getting a lot of attention. They fight back on the British media and they don’t know what to do with it. They are used to brainwashing the public and they won’t let that happen.

      Meghan calling a fan to say “thanks” is very old school Meghan. She was like this before so this doesn’t surprise me. It was a quick call. If they had social media they might have said something on there but since they don’t they took this route. I thought it was nice.

    • lucy2 says:

      If she’d thanked them via 3rd party, it would have been “Meghan couldn’t be bothered to thank them herself!” She is NEVER going to win with the British media, and I hope she is to the point where she simply doesn’t care what they say, and is just living her life.

  8. MsIam says:

    These tabloids with their unmonitored comment sections kill me with their finger pointing. The Mail Online which I understand has some of the worst troll comments is doing a similar story. But I say this, turn it back around on them. Tell them if they monitor and delete their troll comments the Sussex Squad will tone down theirs. Let see what happens.

    • ABritGuest says:

      Good point Msiam. Talk about trolls when you moderate comments.

      And Tom Quinn talks a lot about Sussexes needing palace’s protection for their naïveté. Is this the palace that threw Meghan to the wolves? Or the one that allowed Ghislaine and Epstein and many other paedophiles through the door?

    • Ginger says:

      One reporter for the Daily Mirror tried to contact another Squad member on her behavior and was met with a bunch of receipts of the hate the Cambridge fans dish out. He said he never wants to open that gate again.

      • A Guest says:

        It wasn’t even his story. Another reporter, who’d apparently been blocked by this account (Hmmm…wonder why), asked him to reach out to see if they could get engagement.

        I think he was disgusted. I know I was by some of the screenshots.

    • FC says:

      I’ve noticed that too. DM Comments are moderated for ALL royal stories (even ones about Andrew raping children), but never on stories about H&M. They knowingly allow the commenters to drive the hateful narrative.

      • Olivia says:

        Because most the comments are not from real people. Try replying to a comment and see if you’ll get a reply back. It’s all paid commenters, duplicated accounts and bot farms commenting on daily mail on any Meghan article to give the impression people hate her. Don’t be fooled. They also use that same tactic to gain advertisers which I think is fraudulent.

    • L4frimaire says:

      Also, the Sussex squad are a loose group of people. Everyone does their own thing. Some voices are more prominent but there is no one way to support the Sussexes. Some people give to the fundraisers, some don’t. Some constantly rag on the other Royals, other aren’t that interested in the others, especially now. Some were Suits and Meghan fans, others love Harry. This kind of reminds me of how MAGA types write all kinds of crap and lies, then cry foul when you drag Trump and the rest of his kleptocrats with truth and facts. The other royals are not immune from criticism and dislike. These people don’t get to set the rules, especially slime balls like Wooten.

  9. ABritGuest says:

    As I said on another story, there was a separate twitter account set up for the Archie birthday fundraiser and seems Sussexes we’re made aware of that fundraising twitter account & called one of the organisers after she had been interviewed in Harper’s bazaar etc.

    I doubt they would have been aware of the individual’s user account. And reporters like Dan Wootton have no room to talk. Many of them follow and openly interact with vicious anti Meghan trolls who spread disgusting images and rumours
    And they push out their theories in the mainstream eg Piers Morgan claiming Harry is like a hostage victim or editing of Meghan’s Wikipedia was from trolls. Angela Levin was retweeting moonbump theories recently.

  10. S808 says:

    Ehh, I don’t care. William and Kate promote combating cyber bullying and mental health, yet lets racist and downright unhinged comments sit on KP’s social media but has moderators deleted any comments related to Rose while ruining his SIL’s reputation. I don’t care and I don’t have sympathy for anyone in the Royal Family. *shrug*

  11. taylor says:

    How hilarious that this man who thinks so poorly of Meghan and Harry and their autonomy sees no irony in using Meghan’s name and I presume face to make money off of. She lived in KP for like a year dude, surely others who you have less disdain for would have been more appropriate to highlight in your book title. That’s really what irks me the most. They’re relentlessly cruel toward her, yet exploit her popularity any chance they get. Anyway, this might have mattered if it was coming from anywhere but the Sun.

  12. Amy Bee says:

    Yeah, this is a non-story. The press need to look their own conduct before condemning anybody else. Meghan and Harry calling a supporter to thank her for raising funds for Archie’s Birthday is not an endorsement of a person’s timeline. The Royal Family has had state dinners for dictators and authoritarians and are friendly with pedophiles, they and the media may want to look into that before complaining about a mere phone call to a fan.

  13. Becks1 says:

    I think the CAMFED fundraiser is close to 95k at this point!

    She called Dani after the birthday fundraiser but she called a different person after CAMFED started raising a lot of money for Meghan’s bday fundraiser (I think. Can someone confirm my memory is correct?)

    Anyway, I do think that H&M should stop calling squad members, just because it puts too much of a bullseye on some of them.

    But, I also think that the Sun et al are in no place to criticize until they also criticize the anti-Meghan brigade. And the royal households have NO place to criticize either until they clean up their comments on IG and Twitter.

    And Kate is a total Karen.

    • bamaborn says:

      They probably will after this. It’s just probably in their nature to thank people who advocate on behalf of their charities. They’ll have to take into account this crazy, upside down world we live in now.

    • windyriver says:

      Yes, and the Camfed fundraiser is also for Harry’s birthday, which isn’t for another month. It’s at $95K, which will support education for 41 women.

      Maybe in future they can just issue a statement thanking everyone involved (did they do that for the Global Baby Shower)?

      I’m fairly sure Dani also did this fundraiser. I thought I heard Omid do an interview with her on an episode of the Heir pod, though as I can’t seem to find that, maybe he had a clip on his twitter feed. It was about how she wasn’t going to do something for Meghan’s birthday, but people kept asking her about it, and it evolved. Maybe someone else remembers this.

      • Becks1 says:

        She was definitely involved with it but I don’t think she was the one who was called this time, I think it was someone else? But I could be confused.

      • L4frimaire says:

        The Sussexes can thank whomever they want. They Royal family was just posting thank yous to the tabloids and some photographer who has been non-stop with his whining about Harry and Meghan. They use the tabloids as their unofficial mouthpieces to attack the Sussexes, so this is nothing. The haters and tabloids basically ignored these fundraisers until they heard on Twitter that Meghan contacted them to thank them. Even then it was no big deal until this current fundraiser, when Dani was featured on Omid’s podcast and the other organizer got a call. It seems like H&M buying a house in Montecito and being out of a direct loop has turned the anger on their fans. From the twitter rounds, all they’ve done is rile up the Squad, who are posting receipts on these tabloid’s BS.

  14. Priscila says:

    British tabloids condemning online harassment ?

    A joke it there was ever one.

  15. Savu says:

    Okay but… “corner plant” is a pretty good burn for Kate. 😂

  16. Marivic says:

    Why do Dan Wootton, Catherine Bennett, Camilla Tominey, Emily Andrews, Rebecca English, photographer Arthur Edwards, et al, keep talking and writing about PHarry and Meghan endlessly? They have branded them insignificant, irrelevant, unimportant, unpopular. And yet they couldn’t shut up about these two people. Mind boggling.

    • February-Pisces says:

      Those same people trash harry and Meghan on a regular basis and still have access to the Cambridge’s and receive calls from them.

    • Nyro says:

      They have nothing. The new Monticito house purchase hit a raw nerve and they’re more crazed than ever. First off, they knew nothing. HM has been there for six weeks while the BM were still pumping out story after story about the Tyler Perry mansion, even going so far to write about Meghan’s supposed birthday party in that house. Egg all over their out of the loop faces. So they have zero access. The house purchase also shows that they’re neither broke not dependent on Charles, two lies they love to tell. And finally, the home purchase shows that they’re not coming back. They have put down roots in California, where they will raise their kids and live their lives. It’s over. You’ll see them act out again when their 50 million dollar Netflix deal is announced and when they finally launch Archewell. They all look like crazed exes who refuse to move on. I wish HM could take out a restraining order against the entire British media.

  17. Nyro says:

    The official royal Instagram have allowed the most vile and dehumanizing comments about Meghan to sit on their pages, never removing them. Including the N-word. They and their supporters have no room to go after a private citizen for calling a pedophile exactly what he is and an anorexic manipulative Karen exactly what she is. If people get “nasty” while defending a black woman against misogynoir hurled at her non-stop from the media, so be it. And I hope Meghan and Harry continue to call whomever they want.

    • mynameispearl says:

      I suppose the issue is that nobody from the Royal family has personally phoned one of these awful twitter account holders to thank them for something (raising money in this case, which is a great achievement, but that doesn’t make online abuse ok, even if you dont personally like the target of said abuse).

      • L4frimaire says:

        The difference is that while they may drag Kate and William, etc, their focus is on the Sussexes, and most of the criticism is in relation to their hypocrisy and laziness. The squad defend the Sussexes , champion them and most of there comments are about the Sussexes only. There are so called Cambridge fans who sole purpose is to viciously attack Meghan, spin conspiracy theories and delve into every aspect of their lives, such as looking up their address or trying to figure out where they go to the dentist in order to stalk them. Most of the squad have no interest in what the other royals do, but will call out how racist and backward the institution was, and how they treated the Sussexes, it’s not the same. As is continuously pointed out, the other royals, particularly Andrew, are very much protected by the press and can do no wrong. They have nothing to worry about.

      • Nyro says:

        Meghan called them to thank them for their fundraising. She has always personally interacted with fans, going all the way back to her Suits days. So to claim that this was an endorsement of some “mean tweets” is just more disingenuous and uncharitable nonsense being thrown at Meghan. But what’s happening on the royal IG pages is indeed an endorsement, since they purposely delete nasty comments about all of the royals except Meghan. And until the royals stop colluding with and socializing with known Meghan haters in the media, they don’t have a leg to stand on. And I hope Meghan continues to call her supporters for the good work they do. Because this “expose” of private citizens’ Twitter feeds is about isolating Meghan from any and all support. They hate that she has strong and powerful public support, support that’s more impactful than most of the royal family themselves. So no, they can die mad about it. And I hope Sussex Squad keeps calling out that family for what they are.

      • blue36 says:

        True, but they continuously on a regular basis work with with RRs who have openly said many vile things about Meghan on both social media and in print – they meet up with them privately too. Jobson was caught retweeting and liking conspiracy theories from the hate group, Charles’s employee (I think comms person) (?) was also caught liking some bad tweets about Meghan, Rebecca English wrote an article basically calling Meghan an interloper (one of the Cambs fav mouthpiece), Valentine Low called Archie a frog spawn, etc. Oh and Camilla Tominey linked the women from Hubb and Meghan with terrorists (she was thanked by the far right leader for including him in the article) and she complained there were too few white people on the British Vogue cover. These people continue to professionally and privately interact with the royal households and their heads. Camilla said she has Kate’s number and Rebecca English has said she talks to her regularly, so…

      • MsIam says:

        @pearl a member of the Royal Family went on IG bleating about kindness (ahem Kate) after knowing full well about all of the abusive comments on IG about her brother and sister-in-law. Not to mention the media abuse. And also publicly snubbed said in-laws. Of course that may have been before she learned about the importance of “kindness”. So pot meet kettle.

      • Ginger says:

        I agree Nyro. The British media want to brainwash the public in thinking that Meghan is this horrible and awful person. It didn’t work. Instead there are a lot of people that are pulling for her and supporting her. It drives them nuts because their brainwashing is not working. They HATE that she and Harry have this massive support system that can raise so much money for charities.

  18. February-Pisces says:

    Desperate Dan wootton is now attacking a member of the public who did a great thing by raising money for charity. A member of the public who could be potentially put at risk, all so that Willie and Karen can look good. This is an attempt to shut up the Sussex squad. They must really be running scared. It’s funny cos I don’t see him posting the things that murky Meg posts. Dani did a great thing so well done to her.

    • MsIam says:

      Murky Meg and those other YouTube haters are foul. But no “expose” by the media on that bunch.

      • Ginger says:

        I find it very odd that she still has her accounts. Others have lost theirs for far less.

      • Nyro says:

        Ginger, Murky Meg is also followed by many royal reporters and they often “like” her nasty tweets. Her lies and innuendo help shape a LOT of the coverage of Meghan and Harry. Most recently, the whole “Harry is being held hostage” thing literally came directly from her deranged twitter rantings and you see it repeated on the British morning shows and everything. And it is Murky Meg who has mainly been pushing for the RR to go after the Sussex squad, and low and behold, they now have. The royal reporters are big fans of hers, along with that Yankee Wally monster.

  19. Vanessa says:

    The faux outraged that royal reporters are trying is what is hypocritical at its fine they engaged in some the worst online bullying of a royal family member since Diana . Dan William favorite lackey is always tweeting and engaging with the Meghan extremely haters online and one of Charles staff was caught online liking some really racist comments about Meghan . The Kensington Palace refuses to delete comments about Meghan that very racist and vile . Do the royal reporters really wanted to try this fight because I’m sure the squad has recipes about their behavior and engaged with people who wish Meghan harm Online. Kate actively involved herself in the smeared campaign against Meghan so If people wanted to called her out so be . The people who hate Meghan went to her baby shower to try to cause her harm took pictures and details how easily it was for them to gain access to where Meghan and Harry lived in the u.k . But someone calling kate a Karen is so horribly but the endlessly racist hateful bullying Meghan goes through is some how ok according to the royal reporters .

  20. Sofia says:

    This just seems like “pot calling the kettle black” thing. Yes those tweets were mean but those royal reporters allow tweets like on the Sussexes on their timelines unchecked, the fail has the most disgusting comment section when it comes to Meghan and Angela Levin tweets moonbump conspiracy theories

    They need to take a look at their own conduct and the conduct of their colleagues before getting upset at anyone else

  21. L4frimaire says:

    I think this stems from pure envy due to the fact that the Sussexes interacted with fans and thanked them. They never speak to the Royal reporters. The Squad continues to push back and have done some serious dragging of not only the Royal family but of the Royal reporters directly. Sometimes they’re really funny as well. They really have no more leaks and since the Sussexes are no longer working royals, this is what’s left of their Sussex news coverage, going through Twitter feeds. Squad will continue to do their thing, call out the nasty dedicated Meghan hate accounts that many Royal reporters interact with, and continue to drag the royals. Seems like the tabloids are really bothered that not only do they continue to defend the Sussexes, but the squad really don’t care about the rest of the Royals, finds them lazy and racist, and basically make fun of them. Mostly these reporters they thought they could run over Meghan unchecked, and it didn’t turn out that way. Oh well.

  22. Valiantly Varnished says:

    Whatever. Kate IS a Karen and Andrew IS a pedophile. Facts aren’t bullying.

  23. Nic919 says:

    All the RRs, but especially DW, interact with overt racists online so they need to shut the hell up about Meghan making a phone call to thank someone for raising money for charity.

    And if people are going to be condemned for being nice to people who have been less than perfect, we can attack all the royals.

  24. Ginger says:

    Yeah, Sky News (I think) had an article trying to stir up hate and wanting people to hate on their 16 bathroom home. The comments were amazing. No one was falling for their trap. The British media are unable to brainwash the public anymore and they hate it.

    • bonobochick says:

      the evening standard, and they were deservedly dragged for it. 🍿

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      The tabloids never brainwashed the THINKING British public. They are largely ignored. Brits prefer to keep quiet and not rock the boat until they get absolutely hacked off. Then they react in ways you wouldn’t believe. Remember some people were ready to lynch the queen when Diana died. That resentment towards the Royal Family is still there and Charles is terrified it will come back. Just give it time and it will.

  25. Dee says:

    If you think Dani actually talked to anybody from the Sun, I’ve got beach front property in Montana to sell you. Also, it’s extremely desperate and pathetic to go after a teenager. The girl literally just graduated high school.

  26. Jessica says:

    The Sun is a cesspit of abuse against the Sussexes but that hasn’t stopped KP staff from associating with its writers and feeding them nasty, self-serving stories, so…what’s your point? It was classy to thank that person for leading a grassroots campaign to boost one of their charities. The Sun and the rest of the British tabloid press are atrocious, relentless, despicable people. Vile.

  27. Ennie says:

    Just remember the insta comments in the KP account, and then in the SR one.
    When I check my twitter I usually report and block quite a few individuals who post and share heinous stuff, many if them comment in wanton posts or tag him.
    They tray to be sly, but they are too hateful. I suspect some of those accounts are just covers for maybe reporters or courtiers. For real.

  28. LRobb says:

    It is simple for me. Meghan has always been sweet to fans and encouraging to the charitable efforts of others. She is feeling at home, being herself. I say to Duchess M, thank people however you like. The innocent mistake here is that the supporter posted about the call; next time we should just say the team thanked everyone.

  29. BnLurkN4eva says:

    Until the BM and the complicit BRF stop egging the relentless bully of Meghan and Harry, they, none of them have a leg to stand on. I don’t like to name call, but I get the anger fans of H/M feel and why they sometimes lash out. I actually would have preferred the royals ignore Meghan’s birthday because it was just another avenue for trolls to attack her in the comments. Let H/M be BM and BRF, you are their biggest headaches and yet you act like they are the culprits. Didn’t the BRF thank the tabloid media for their support? The same media that’s bullied and harassed Meghan for years? No room to stand on so I hope Meghan continues to show her gratitude in whatever way she choose.

    The RR and the BRF all want to live 50 or 100 years ago when they were the only game in town and always had the last word. All anyone would ever hear is what they said. Today’s social media and international popularity of H&M is causing their brains to crack.
    Tony Blair got the queen through the last time the BRF faced this kind of crisis. Everyone else told the queen to not show any respect to Diana when she died. Too bad she isn’t listening to good advice this time.

    Most of us don’t live in a mental world where if someone organizes something nice we do whatever we can to dig up negative dirt on them because we are focused on expressing gratitude for positivity – Meghan is such a person. These nasty bitter RR’s would not know what that is like in the slightest.

    Another interesting point – a BIG one really, is the invention of an app specifically created for STALKING the Sussex family. It was on Google play but has since been removed. However, there is still an active website for it and it has been created to help people stalking the Sussexes to network and pinpoint their locations. Nobody in the RF to my knowledge past or present has so many demented sinister creeps pooling resources and ideas to stalk them or the ones they love. These tabloids are trying to make sure no one openly supports Harry and Meghan and it is SICK!

  34. Izzy says:

    The absolute caucasity of Dan effing Rotten and the Sun to spew this crap after everything they’ve said about Meghan… I’ jewish and just based on the things I keep wishing will happen to these RRs, there is no way I’m gonna be able to repent at Yom Kippur because I wouldn’t mean it. SORRY NOT SORRY.

    The poster-Beach Dream stated everything that is needed to be said.

    It feels like a Barbara Streisand effect, doesn’t it? They just published in a paper all the insults (at times hilarious) to Will, Kate and the rest that would otherwise just be the forgotten Twitter history 🙈
