But I also don’t read a TON about her (I’m not that big into Royals).<br /> I think she’s beautiful and elegant. I love her style way more than Kate’s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833408 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 14:17:51 +0000 Mrsbells 2833408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: haha :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833406 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 14:14:13 +0000 psw27 2833406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I do always think about that. I guess most internet trolls were the same people who were always stirring the pot of neighborhood/townie gossip? But maybe people in this day and age just think its okay to say whatever pops into their head.... look at our fearless leader... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833404 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 14:11:49 +0000 Mrsbells 2833404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: good point. I think Kate is also under a lot of scrutiny. She just had a baby and people are still criticizing every little thing. I wonder what all these trolls did before the internet existed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833388 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:51:22 +0000 psw27 2833388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh. Internet trolls love to say snarky things. They keep harping on how tired Kate looks or how she needs to stop wearing McQueen jackets cause they all look the same. </p> <p>I will say some of Meghan's clothing has been really ill fitting - but I would never go on the internet and say something mean about. I think she's beautiful and navigating a really challenging new life with a lot of grace.</p> <p>And yes, I think there is unconscious racism going on there. Especially with regard to her mom's hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833384 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:37:04 +0000 Mrsbells 2833384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: yes so true. They might be secretly resentful that Harry didnt marry someone british. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833383 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:36:24 +0000 MrsSCB 2833383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Yes, absolutely! The only way this would be deemed inappropriate is if your only frame of reference for appropriate hair is white hair/hairstyles. Both Megan and her mother look well-groomed and put together, but her mother's hair is getting judgment while Megan's isn't...the juxtaposition speaks volumes to me.</p> <p>@lioneyes: I do agree Megan is still finding her style. And her style is a little edgier, which will not please everyone. I hope she keeps it up, it's fun to see interesting styles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833382 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:35:17 +0000 Mrsbells 2833382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: yes and i think kate also had a period of privacy after their marriage. She wasn't attending high profile events right away if i remember correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833381 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:33:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2833381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see a lot of positive press on the websites I frequent, but I’ve read the British press is horrible to her. My favorite celebrity gossip site is very pro Megan and hard on Kate. I think the new Duchess is gorgeous, looks happy, and is doing a good job in her new role! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833380 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:33:28 +0000 Mrsbells 2833380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: I agree! I'm not sure if people expected her to shave her head lol since dreads cant be undone. This especially bothers me because ignorant comments about black hair over years has created a situation where many black women feel they need to hide their natural texture of their hair and then they get mocked for never showing their natural hair texture or spending so much on hair extensions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833379 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:31:51 +0000 lioneyes 2833379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a LOT of it is racism. But I will also say some of her outfits, while beautiful and appropriate have not been 100% on fit (which is weird for custom clothing) and I think she is finding her footing and her style. Versus Kate who I don't think of as ever being really fashion forward, so wearing nude pantyhose wasn't a huge jump for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833378 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:28:46 +0000 MrsSCB 2833378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Sorry, I'll be not lazy and actually put the photo in here, haha. I think she looks lovely. </p> [attach=2844/18/pbppvy.600x436.hbz-meghan-markle-doria-ragland-2-1526665994.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833376 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:25:49 +0000 Mrsbells 2833376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: thats sad that in 2018 there is still such a high level of ignorance surrounding looks of hair styles by other races. I thought her mother looked elegant in all the photos I saw although I am unable to view the photo you posted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833374 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:19:37 +0000 MrsSCB 2833374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do think some of the criticism is due to racism, maybe even on an unconscious level. One thing that 100 percent points to this is all the judgment I saw of Megan's mother around the time of the wedding. People were specifically highly critical of her hair, acting like it was somehow unsuitable for meeting the queen and attending a royal wedding. Some people even said "dreadlocks are not appropriate for the occasion." YIKES. This is one of the photos I saw get a lot of criticism: <a href="https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/hbz-meghan-markle-doria-ragland-2-1526665994.jpg?resize=768:" rel="nofollow">https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/hbz-meghan-markle-doria-ragland-2-1526665994.jpg?resize=768:</a>*</p> <p>I don't see anything wrong with her mother's hair whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833373 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:17:58 +0000 Mrsbells 2833373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: people gain some satisfaction from being really ugly online. Its the same with some other parenting and wedding forums </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833372 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:12:30 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2833372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: interesting... I mostly hear negative comments about Kate Middleton lately. But I totally agree, I don't understand why anyone needs to pick apart other people/women doing this to other women! I don't think most people feel negatively toward either of them for the record, except those people who just love to hate the royal family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meghan-markle-negative-press#post-2833365 Wed, 11 Jul 2018 12:00:07 +0000 Mrsbells 2833365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like she receives so much negative press and constant references to alleged faux pas that are usually false. Her clothes, body, hair and posture is constantly picked apart and compared to Kate. I'm not sure if its because she is divorced, American, older or biracial or some combo of these but people are unrelentless! I try to avoid it on social media but its to the point that it sickens me now. Its mainly women that leave such comments and I wonder why we tear each other down like that </p>
