Meghan Markle


Apparently she not only wanted to be invited to Barack Obama's 60th birthday party, but to be a "special guest." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9886915/Meghan-Markle-desperately-wanted-attend-Obamas-birthday-bash.html

My God, what an ego.

She is an A - List Hollywood Star.

What do you mean, ego???

LOL - Just kidding.

> She is an A - List Hollywood Star.

I'm sure she's on the social A-list now, but a star? I'd never heard of her until she married Harry.

> What do you mean, ego???

Yeah, maybe not unusual for a spoiled celeb.

Apparently the party's guest list was originally much larger, but the Obamas had to scale it down after the size of the list leaked and some expressed concerns it could be a COVID-fest. Markle wasn't even on the original list. Hypothetically, had she been invited, she would have had one small distinction over most of the other guests -- she and Barack Obama have the same birthday.

You mean D list Hallmark Actress.

Hehehe, she's only an A-lister in her own little mind. She has an ego the size of Mt. Everest, despite having nothing to show for it. Many people have figured out by now that she's a malignant narcissist and is not the "classy" humanitarian she thinks she is.

I can picture the invites now "... AND Meghan Markle" printed right across the top of everyones.

Naah, she wouldn't be happy with that -- make it "The Most Excellent, Beautiful, And Wonderful Meghan Markle."

reply

Oh well if the Daily Mail reported this it must be true 🙄

reply

I wouldn't know, I'm in the US. But several other papers reported it as well.

reply

If the best source they can come up with is a royal biographer who “was told” by another source that Markle was “desperate” for an invitation, I think I’m happy remaining sceptical about it. Sounds like your classic hit piece to me.

Either way, who really gives a toss?

reply

The Daily Fail has an agenda. It appeals to a particular demographic and spends most of its effort generating this kind of content to keep them happy. It finds MM and her husband very attractive targets and and seems to produce this kind of story at least one a week.
Note: I don't read this rag but it's efforts get commented on, perhaps echoed, elsewhere - which I think is a pity.

reply

The Daily Mail would have superior coverage of the royal family. I would argue that the Daily Mail is one of the more comprehensive news sources in the world and it doesn't have a paywall. They are also independently owned while most major US news sources are owned by corporations/oligarchs.

It's more of a digest but it has great information on current events, nutrition, celebrities, finance and travel. One of its great features is an active comments section and I actually get notified in my e-mail whenever I get replies to my comments.

reply

I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree. Personally I'm not interested in the Royal Family or celebrities or any of the things you've listed. And I'm sorry to tell you that there were reports recently the paper might be returning to private ownership. All I see is an agenda that filters and slants everything they write and makes it meaningless as a newspaper.

She's a Leftard Bitch with a HUGE ego. And she has Harry Pussy Whipped!

🤨

So if George Clooney was invited you'd be ok with that...Cause he's an A list celebrity. The dailymail is basically like getting info from The Enquirer.

reply

> So if George Clooney was invited you'd be ok with that

I don't care who Obama invited. It's his party, not Meghan Markle's. My astonishment is that she (apparently) thinks she should have been invited as a special guest to a party for a former President of the United States. The event wasn't about her at all.

> The dailymail is basically like getting info from The Enquirer.

As I said above, I'm in the US so I don't know the British newspapers. I'll take your word for it. I heard this being talked about on TV, did a Google search, found it in several newspapers, and copied the first link I saw.

reply

Don't listen to the ignorant people who dismiss the Daily Mail. It's my favorite source for information and it's supposed to be the most widely read internet newspaper in the world. It's not owned by a large corporation or billionaire magnate so its articles are objective. There is also a comments section on most of the articles.

reply

Objective lol. It's often called the Daily Heil for a reason.

reply

Wow. And a lot of people tested positive for the China virus after the party.

reply

Wow you guys really make yourself look important by criticizing some random women.

reply

The Obamas didn't like seeing MeAgain and "Haz" trashing the royal family on tv and telling no less than 17 lies about them to Oprah. They have a lot of respect for the Queen of England and don't want to be associated with a gold-digging bitch like Megalodon. Evidently all that news about how "close" she and her pet Harry were to the Obamas was just fluff being written by her 3 PR firms.

I didn't watch the interview but saw some excerpts from it. "Oh, I've been so oppressed!" Yeah, right. 'Scuse me while I barf.

> They have a lot of respect for the Queen of England

As do I. A quote from The Queen (2006) -- Tony Blair's response to one of his aides being especially snarky over Elizabeth's response to Diana's death:

You know, when you get it wrong, you really get it wrong! That woman has given her whole life in service to her people. Fifty years doing a job SHE never wanted! A job she watched kill her father. She's executed it with honor, dignity, and, as far as I can tell, without a single blemish, and now we're all baying for her blood! All because she's struggling to lead the world in mourning for someone who... who threw everything she offered back in her face. And who, for the last few years, seemed committed 24/7 to destroying everything she holds most dear!


Well put. I'll add that in World War II, when she and her family could have holed up in Canada for their own safety, they stayed put while Hitler was flinging bombs and V-2 rockets at them -- Buckingham Palace was hit several times -- and she, against her family's wishes, insisted on enlisting in the military and serving as a mechanic. And do you know why she wears those bright, monochrome outfits she's famous for? Because she knows that when she's out in public it might be the only chance some in the crowd have to see an actual monarch in person and so wants to make herself easily spotted, even though she also knows it would make her an easier target should a European Lee Harvey Oswald ever decide to have a go at her. Yes, quite a remarkable person. I'll also say that I draw a distinction between royals like her, who were born into it and never had a choice in the matter -- OK, she could have abdicated like her uncle Edward, but realistically that was never an option for her -- versus those like Meghan Markle who voluntarily chose to be part of the royal family.
