I'm curious about these inconsistencies some posters claim there have been from the start of this relationship.
I started posting on this forum pretty much when there started to be rumours about these two, in October 2016. Not one person here or anywhere even hinted at Harry and Meghan being a couple before that time. The Harry's romantic life thread here was filled with multiple other names, it seemed to be a running joke, that any woman Harry was seen near, suddenly became his girlfriend. Meghan Markle was never mentioned.
Piers Morgan was one of the first people claiming that he had met Meghan, who had said she had become recently single, and that Piers possibly put her into a cab to meet Harry unknowingly. Piers would've definitely blabbed, had Meghan mentioned Harry's name, and he would not have said she was single had Meghan herself not said that. Piers doesn't do stuff like that. He blabs and throws people under the bus on the regular.
Now as multiple people here say, Meghan was not known to many before October 2016. None of us have any idea about her relationship with Corey, when it started, when it ended, nothing. At one point there was gossip, that Meghan was dating that golfer Rory, but it was denied, and Rory was already with his now fiance, Meghan was with Corey. That's how little info there was about Meghan's relationship.
After Harry/Meghan relationship became public, MANY people suddenly claimed inside info to the Meghan/Corey relationship in order to paint Meghan in a negative light. I call bs. Suddenly these people became experts of a relationship between Corey and Meghan, whom they had never heard of before, never were interested in before, just because Meghan was now involved with Prince Harry.
It is true, that we tend to believe sources, that agree with our bias. But we can also be critical of any info out there. Many of these negative sources (as well as positive ones) have been rubbished by either Meghan and Harry or credible proof. Eg Samantha claimed at first, that she practically raised Meghan from early age, a claim that got rubbished by facts. Like most of her other claims too. Many articles by royal reporters have been rubbishes by Meghan and Harry, like Meghan saying that it was her first visit to Scotland, when RR had claimed otherwise. Regardless of our 'bias' it's always smart to withhold believing any unverified info until it's proven, positive or negative.
