ok, I used to PMS pretty bad, and I totally knew I was, but I would probably slap any face that dared to mention it. Then I would stop at the gas station and buy myself a Chunky chocolate bar to make me feel better. I haven't had one of those in years, but apparently I can buy 48 of them from Amazon for $55. That's totally tempting.  |

been there, done that. though my drug of choice was either dark chocolate lindor balls or, if i could find it, that chocolate bar that was basically corn flakes covered in milk chocolate? does anyone remember what that was called? the corn flakes were slightly salty. it was amazing. i think ritter sport makes a similar one but it's not enough corn flakes and too much chocolate whereas the one i'm thinking of had the perfect ratio. i don't know if it existed on this side of the atlantic or only in europe.

I'm curious what the behavior was that led to the comment in the first place. But I guess we're just going with Meghan was out of line.
And Kate has carte blanche to act like a bitch. (which is probably the case, whether she's pregnant or not)
Even so I can't imagine Meghan would say this with the intention to be rude, given that this is a family she was wanting to marry into and surely trying to impress.
I'm trying to imagine a scenario where a pregnant (and hormonal) me would have behaved in a way to have someone speculate this. And then (especially if hormonal) what my reaction would be. Even if the person was nice and diplomatic about it I could see myself being sarcastic and pissy. "Oh yes, that's it" Then feel bad about it later and apologize.
Maybe if they were mean about it or used a really condescending tone I'd be upset. Either way I'm going to feel bad about my own behavior later. I cannot imagine this being a deal-breaker in and of itself. Especially with family or potential family. I guess I just don't live in that world where this is an unforgivable gaffe.
If it's true that they tried but she refused the help...well that was just plain dumb and short-sighted of her.

Kate and Meghan were arguing over Meghan’s wedding- something about the timing of the wedding rehearsal and the dresses (not sure why Kate would be arguing about someone else’s wedding details but anyway). Kate apologized for the argument and sent Meghan flowers and a card after the argument.
I am guessing that the argument was because Kate had just given birth and was still hormonal and emotional and Meghan on edge and emotional because of the wedding. Kate apologized for being an asshole and Meghan likely said no worries, I know you just had a baby, hormones suck and Kate somehow took offense. Of course the Daily Fail did not put Meghan’s alleged comments in any kind of context when they released this book excerpt.
As usual people are excusing Kate being an asshole in the first place and placing all the blame on Meghan being “mean” but that’s par for the course at this point. Why isn’t anyone asking why Kate felt it was her place to dictate what happened with someone else’s wedding?

This scenario sounds the most logical and likely. I'll bet it was barely a fraction of the big deal it was made out to be after the fact.

Everything has to be M’s fault and it can’t possibly be because of racism… (end sarcasm) |

Prince Harry has tarnished his reputation with remarks about killing Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, a former British commander says. In his memoir, the Duke of Sussex describes his 25 kills as "chess pieces taken off the board". Ex-army officer colonel Richard Kemp told the BBC Harry's comments were "ill-judged". He added the remarks may have undermined his security and could provoke people to take revenge. Responding to the prince's comments, Taliban leader Anas Haqqani tweeted: "Mr Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return... "I don't expect that the (International Criminal Court) will summon you or the human rights activists will condemn you, because they are deaf and blind for you." Col Kemp, who was sent to Kabul in 2003 to take command of forces in Afghanistan, said the Taliban insurgents killed were bad people and he did not have a problem with Prince Harry revealing his kill number - but took issue with the way Harry suggested Taliban insurgents were seen by the army as "sub-human and just as chess pieces to be knocked over". He told BBC Breakfast: "I think he's wrong when he says in his book that insurgents were seen just as being virtually unhuman - subhuman perhaps - just as chess pieces to be knocked over. "That's not the case at all. And it's not the way the British Army trains people as he claims... "I think that sort of comment that doesn't reflect reality, is misleading and potentially valuable to those people who wish the British forces and British government harm, so I think it was an error of judgement." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64185176 |

Why isn’t anyone asking why Kate felt it was her place to dictate what happened with someone else’s wedding? That makes a lot more sense. And Kate was the bigger bitch for dictating what goes in at someone else’s wedding but I still think the hormone comment, though not awful or that big of a deal, was out of line because not only are they not close, they’ve literally just had an argument. Even if Meghan meant well and probably meant to say it was the hormones, not Kate, that caused the behaviour, I just wouldn’t go there unless it’s my sister or close friend. |

I completely forgot about the flowers and apology from Kate - we knew that had happened, so what ❤️ NickiDrea ❤️ said definitely makes sense. However, maybe I'm just uptight or something idk but all Meghan had to say was, "thank you for the apology, all is well.". She didn't have to make any comments about Kate's hormones or having just given birth. Firstly, as someone Kate barely knew and secondly as a woman who has no clue at that point what it is even like to give birth and go through all of that. For me it's not even the fact that they didn't know each other well, if my best friend had said that to me I would have been miffed. I'd think it'd be shit if we heard that Kate herself blamed her behavior on her hormones. I know I'm a broken record here but using hormones as an excuse in women's behavior is just something that really irritates me. I'm sure Meghan wasn't trying to be mean or vindictive here. She comes across as a very outgoing, eager to fit in/please and I could see her just spewing it out thinking it'd get a good laugh and it fell terribly flat. The event is a fair life lesson for both parties involved. It is good fun picking it all apart though, lol |

Obviously Harry has nobody who advises him how to still reveal things that (he may) need to be revealed without being a bull in a china shop. |

That part doesn’t bother me. At all. War is an atrocity and I’d rather know the reality than hide behind platitudes about patriotic heroes and bravery and honour and sacrifice. You go to war to kill people, period.

How could his publicist allow him to add that he killed 25 human beings. I can understand that war is war (even if he's been privileged enough to have a choice. Unlike the poor people the army just sends there), but at least he could have been less dehumanizing and elitist about it. How does that fit into the petty "my family was mean to me" vibe of the book.
Aside from that, he has a big target on his back now. He puts that out there when everyone knows his face and his whereabouts are of public interest. He's endangering his family just to paint the picture of himself as a war hero.
What a complete douche. My sympathy for him is on an all time low right now.

Every comment I've read online from soldiers is that it's just not the done thing to talk about your 'kill count' anyway. But yes the big problem is that it's a security risk.

^^^THIS!
The Taliban already reacted and as much as I hate it, they may have a point: "Prince Harry is a pathetic coward. No decent warrior with an ounce of honor in his body would boast like that."
