Does anyone care?

The UK is one of the most liberal, tolerant countries anywhere in the world for The US press to say otherwise is IMO a cynical slant for PR coverage.

Which animal did people in media compare Kate’s children too ?

Just to correct you, it was a person not people and he got the sack. Just goes to show that its not just Megan that gets the attention. Still not sure what thats got to do with my Welsh neighbour and his dog though.

Do you think if my neighbour was English I would be more tolerant of his dog barking, I mean to say racism gets into all levels of society so no stone should be left unturned. If it helps I guess hes not in the EDL and he had a Labour poster in his window recently so probably not a Farage supporter. Thinking on maybe I dont like him because of the poster and I'm not racist.
Just saying.
 
For me, an with no racist/sexist agenda, Kate is by far the more likeable. The bump cuddling images are very different. Kate resting a hand on top and just one occasion - Meghan actually cradling with both hands with a look to camera. Personally the bump stroking does my head in anyhow.

Anyway, Kate has never come across as anything but a damned nice person who gets on with her life as a Royal, accepting the rough with the smooth. Meghan appears to be doing anything but.

I do agree with a lot of what you say on this subject but to claim Danny Baker deliberately called her child a monkey and is an example of racism is disingenuous at best. I do think the British press has an agenda on this, but calling out Danny Baker as someone to prove that point is not useful IMHO.

Bump stroking - quite - we see mums to be doing it all the time so what's the big deal with Meghan Markle doing it - forget comparisons with Kate as these are IMO irrelevant in respect of the criticism aimed at MM for doing this. This is all just utter and dangerous nonsense. You can 'take' to someone more than somebody else - that does not mean that the 'somebody else' has done, or is doing, anything in the slightest bit wrong. Just Press trash to sell papers and mess up lives.
 
"Do I care?" - I did but not anymore.

I have no evidence but IMO it seems MM has got the options she wants that will lead her to cash-in and enable a celebrity life style - I have sympathy and a feeling Harry will not enjoy that superficial money driven social circle and he will be bored to tears in the fickle and artificial 'movie royalty' world. I hope they will not need to look in the desk drawer for the pre-nupt - but it might need to be close at hand!!

Sorry Amanda, but this what I see as part of the issue, you’ve compared Kate touching her bump on just one occasion to Meghan touching her bump numerous times, that is you judging them by the article and falling for what the press are doing.

Here’s the DM articles - 1 occasion v numerous.

And here’s a link showing Kate touching her bump 20 times in public.

It shouldn’t matter whether any pregnant woman touches her bump and how many times, but yet somehow our media has made it a talking point.

Not anymore! But then cast doubt on her motives and whether he’s a lapdog who may end up divorced!

What a sad world we live in! I’m sure we have people with posts already drafted saying “I told you so” ready to gloat.

Good luck to them both and hope they have a long and happy life together with their kid(s).

Fair point. I've generally been anti how the press have built up a supposed rift between the wives and therefore brothers BUT have to wonder if for once there is something in that with this latest decision. So much of my anti (if it is that) Meghan comes from the decision to part ways charity-wise for the brothers and now this. Just something not quite right for me.

I doubt any of us will ever know the truth about what’s going on or the influence she does or does not hold, but I do believe the media has played a role in this circus and certainly hasn’t remained neutral.

There won’t be a married man on this forum who hasn’t been influenced in to uncomfortable decisions by his wife and vice versa and why we’d expect their relationship to be any different is beyond me.

For sure - not called the gutter press for nothing. I guess for those who support the Royal Family the "boys" have always felt somehow special following Diana's death. Almost like we have some sort of need to protect them (as if we could). So it's easy for the press to play on that if they so choose. I hope they are happy and Harry doesn't regret this choice.

The decisions they make are theirs and if it goes wrong they alone are responsible.
The right people should advise them, as per the press release from the Palace yesterday, and then off they go.
Why anyone (not you) would almost want to see it go wrong for either of them is beyond me.
