- Hello everyone, thank God it’s Friday! I’m thrilled to share this new video with you.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been discussing Harry and Meghan, and I’ve noticed some misunderstandings about my views.
In this video, I’ll be dedicating a segment to clarifying my thoughts on the Sussex Duo once and for all.
But that’s not all! I’ll also be diving into a subject that resonates with many of us: loneliness.
This topic is incredibly important, and I’ll be sharing personal experiences and reflections on what it means to feel lonely, especially as we get older.

Megan 43% Nigerian Markle, should be thankful that she hasn't got a 100% Nigerian Mother-in-law, who would have put her in her place and stopped her shenanigans from day one!
Yes Donu was right about Oprah.. Oprah should have cautioned MEGALIAR as a big auntie about spewing their crap for the world to watch! But Oprah wanted the first recognition she got the first interview only to have her interview to be mocked worldwide!
Yes Oprah should have been that wise old auntie instead!
I was also thinking about that part 😆 I'm originally from south of Europe and how she treated and mocked the queen is absolutely not acceptable.
@Caareenkm6726 Oprah is simply a successful grifter who hates the nation where she's been so blessed.
Wise?
Her behaviors are no go towards her in laws and family!!! 😂😂
Harry said in an interview that he did not know how bad his life was until Meghan showed him.. if Harry’s life was so bad why is it he was always smiling but since his wedding he is always sad or mad looking. He also said he did not know he was racist or that his family was until Meghan explained it to him . He said it took her a long time to convince him because we are not a racist family -but she taught me about unconscious bias and that was hard to accept too but I am learning. If Meghan is Black why is it she has gone by white her whole life-her drivers “license, her passport, up until she got with Harry? I don’t think Meghan’s time with Royals was her feeling they were being racist , I think she created the story for her purpose. For one she stayed away from the Royals most of the time,. No matter how often Princess Catherine’s parents involved Meghan and Harry to bring her Mom for dinner Meghan turned it down. Just like turning down the Queen , and Prince Charles wanting them all eat together , Meghan made excuses -one excuse was her Mom is shy and doesn’t want to have to talk. In saying all this is to say I think we don’t realize mechanics of all that is Meghan’s World.
Harry always wanted to leave even before MEGALIAR entered the picture..being in a family bubble such as the RF was not his thing. He was always in trouble due to his antics. ( RF covered many antics that we’re not aware of) His drinking and drug abuse caused SOME of his bad judgment. MEGALIAR only helped push him out she wasn’t the main ingredient! She wants the money and fame but not the work of being in the RF.. Harry too! Unfortunately due to their irrational behaviour and lies they are not as interesting as they thought they’d be .
@@Caareenkm6726 The whole thing is sad -especially for the Royal family. They should have nipped it in the bud. When Meghan was caught sneaking around taking pictures , especially of Princess Catherine’s children’s bedrooms -The Queen should have told Harry if you plan to marry that girl you need to go live a regular life instead of them being manipulated from the beginning,’we will tell the world you are racist’ . So awful what they put the family through. Make no wonder everyone looked miserable at their wedding!
@@louonUTeither dimwit H continues on being in a controlling relationship or gets out he lost favour in his family’s eyes and public opinion ! He’s too late and a dollar short on being trusted ever again. Using their titles from an institution they both wanted out of shows the truth behind what they planned and have done! It was fame and fortune they thought was much better than working in the RF .. but they shot themselves in the foot by lying about almost everything!
@@Caareenkm6726 exactly right
There is so much more to say about the devious the ex-cable actress, but very well said. ;0)
She never identified as black prior to being in RF .. her bio states she is Caucasian ! Why black now? I really admire your honesty! Her behaviour against the RF has caused such division among people globally! It’s a very big karmic burden on her soul!
No Meghan has NOT caused a division ,she has instead brought into Awareness ,Racism exist .still ,of course she felt white among others mixtures because her skin and features are Caucasian ,but when she got into an all white family with old age traditions ,and old courtiers Around her ,where white is supreme in their minds and actions . She then experienced real Racism for the first time in her life .., personally ,plus the British press ,did not help with their undertone Rcism fir years , the way I see it .of course my opinion only .
@@user-zt9xz3ng8sI must disagree with you. The RF was glad that Harry chose a half black woman to marry. They (the RF) thought that would be his choice one day. He always loved Africa. I expected it myself. The RF looked at it as a good thing & a way to bring new blood. After all they’re cousins with the rest of Europe! Megan never considered herself to be black. I think it was an insult in her mind to suddenly have MSM speaking of her as half black. Aside from that Megan was a little spoiled brat and when her ideas of modernizing her husbands family didn’t go her way she immediately started making racist comments. I think she had a plan all along to try to be the Queen. As a person she couldn’t imagine why the Queen wouldn’t let her live in Windsor Castle & co-rein with QEII. Race wasn’t the problem until she made it look like it was a problem.
@@user-zt9xz3ng8s If it is true what you are saying why did PH married her? Most of the comments are about Rachel's nasty behavior, nor her skin color. Yes there are remains of racism, but it is not as bad as in '60s. I am a brown person, and yes I had encountered racism, but I don't duel on it.
@@user-zt9xz3ng8s I find it hard to believe that she experienced racism within the Royal Family, who by all accounts went above and beyond to welcome her, affording her privileges before her marriage that no other royal fiancee had ever received (eg invitations to Sandringham at Christmas, living with Harry on palace grounds). The press were very welcoming at first, and the British public were pleased that Harry had found his "true love" at last. Most people had no idea she was biracial, I thought she was of Latin or Italian heritage. The tide turned when her true character emerged, and her total disrespect of the RF was obvious.
Harry has the brain of a turnip! He actually stated that it was not until Meghan came to the UK that leaks started going to the Press from the Palace. How could he NOT realize that it was Meghan who was spreading those leaks to the Press so that she could then accuse the Palace and therefore make her false claims of racism. Harry is one stupid and petulant middle aged child.
I really wish someone in Nigeria would have asked Harry about the Baka victims of the Congo that he has ignored their pleas for help from him.
I’m approaching 75 years old… married, for 20 years…widowed with three children…He died in a car accident.. I Remarried…Three more children…widowed again…he died from ALS….now I’m an Empty Nester…but this is the first time in my Adult life I’m on my own…I’m not lonely..I’m learning to enjoy…. doing …what I want…when I want…
16 years ago I thought I was happily married, successful career and a nice big house. 25:25 we adopted 2 wonderful children and things were great, then I found out we were heavily in debt and the reason he’d become addicted to hard drugs and alcohol. A true addict he hid it well. Somehow I managed to sort finances and got him rehab. But instead of getting better he got worse. Harder drugs and more alcohol. I had drug dealers knocking on my door looking for him. I had no choice but to move away completely to protect my kids. They settled quickly and made new friends but I struggle to let anyone get close to me. I’ve locked myself away only venturing out to food shop. It’s hard to get yourself back on track and let anyone get close. I love my kids more than anything but there teenagers now and doing their own thing. I understand totally where your coming from. X
I probably have a bit too personal question. Since I am a widow and with no children, and honestly I do not think I have anything to offer to another person because my love is with that one special to me person and I feel like even trying to go for another someone would be using them... Is it possible to love someone else the same way or is it different way second time but still love of some kind?
@@lavdejeva9079I don’t think it should be expected to be the same. You will always have the special one in your heart. And an other love interest wouldn’t expect you to forget the one you loved so much. If he does, dump him fast!
Having some one special in your life would not be disrespectful of the one who’s gone. He’d probably be happy for you, even expect it of you.
Take your time, join a group that is grief counseling, involve yourself in your religious house, they may have single gatherings & you’d have the counseling of your leader should you need it. No need to rush into anything. Good luck.
So true.
@@lavdejeva9079 I think we love others as we want to be loved. Try that. Anything is possible, we make it so. IMO there is no limit to love.
None of us are members of perfect families. None of us are perfect. But, trashing one’s family publicly is dishonorable and cruel, especially when lies are used to drive home one’s accusations. Please believe me, dear Donu, we Americans are not all as cruel and dishonest as Meghan and her husband.
Agreed ! I’m disgusted she is from America! What a disgrace!
Very well said, thank you from another American ;0)
Go research the history of the British RF, their family business was always in the public domingo.
@@jackiebenjamin8772 Is that Placido you mean? Or just the general popularity of the name for a baby boy?
@@jackiebenjamin8772not private business behind closed doors business! All families have private business whether good or bad!
You are a darling polite lady. Thank you for sharing.
They are lonely because they’ve driven everyone away.
True.. but she’s not lonely at all! She likes isolation when hiding her darker self . .. but wanting to make money fast she’s out there.. she never finishes what she starts though 😂.
That Meghan was lonely it would be someone else's fault.
They are lonely because that is where they placed themselves. Smeg because she knows better and is smarter and better than everyone. Harry because he's suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
I have a feeling that after he dies she will accuse her father of horrible things because he won't be able to defend himself. He won't be around to clear his name.
1st Timothy 6:10, it states this message.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows …
I believe Rachel and Harold are currently in today. Everything they touch or try to start fails or ends in some type of sorrow as in American Rivera Orchard ( no products), Netflix about to give them the boot, Spotify, ( label them grifters), just to name a few they always leave behind a lot of broken hearts or disappointments as in family while chasing the dollars.
I agree with you in regards to loneliness. It would be nice if everyone made an effort to gather their loved ones young or old including family friends and spend time together, may it be a shopping day together at the supermarket or an event at some theme park with the families or lunch at some eatery, fast food or restaurant, including home cooked meals, my family does this lot, one member would say but I am mad at my brother today, our reply would be see you there and we don't care if your mad at your brother today, just looking forward to seeing you both there. We are always planning some type of gathering.The most is twice a month.
Rubbish
Meghan didn't invite any of her family, bar Doria, to the wedding. She filled those seats with Hollywood celebs. What did Dorias side of the family do to deserve this?
I think Doria fell out with her family when her father passed away. She had a brother and there was a conflict about who was going to inherit his house. Then the brother suddenly also passed away so Doria got the house. Interesting that both Doria and her daughter are estranged from their families.
@@Susan-vl8tsthe house was not her brothers, she inherited it from her father, who died in 2011. He was her mother's second husband. Her brother who died was from her mother's first marriage. She had two sons from that marriage. Doria is her mother's only daughter.
@@Susan-vl8ts I think loyalty is often a family trait. Family loyalty is a feeling instilled by the parents' choices, and the "walk away" choice is also instilled in their kids, and then those parents are shocked that their kids walk away. My family members would often use the phrases, "They are a good family" or "Well, she's part of the _____family, you know," to indicate where the good or bad behaviors came from. As I have aged, I have understood that better after seeing generations grow up. Jane Goodall even chronicled a chimp family of murderers. She showed that the mothers, generation after generation taught their kids to murder the young of other families.
Nothing.
Megan didn't like to have that side of the family there. No one in her Black family, only one was her Mother. No one all those years know she was half black. Until she needed to use it to get her way.
Thank you for being so objective and balanced and not just being in a ‘black’ echo chamber.
Because everything they've done since leaving the RF smacks of revenge, not freedom, it seems obvious to me that HMTQ threw them out. They were evicted.
I truly believe HMEQII “fired” Prince Henry’s wife and would no longer allow her to represent the monarchy.
@@terryheatwole6153no I don’t believe that. MEGALIAR had no intention of staying there.. she didn’t like the weather in UK .. the work ethic ! She had plans on using HIS titles ( and off the memory of Diana) in USA to make more money doing less! Her plan fell flat.
I disagree. She wanted it all. The Queen threw her out.@@Caareenkm6726
@@terryheatwole6153I don’t believe that. MEGALIAR didn’t want to work and thought using dimwit H titles in USA would make more easy money.
I agree the crown was elated to have Meghan vacate the palace.
It's very brave of you to own up that your lonely lots of people suffer loneliness in silence 💖
Sometimes I am lonely too. I couldn't have children due to endometriosis but I have 3 dogs and two donkeys and they have rescued me.
🐾 🐾 🐎
Animals are the best ...there is no better friend then a dog , horse or donkey.
How lovely... Maybe I should reconsider and opt for a pet when my cat dies... My worry is that I can not give enough attention to even my old cat, the engagement gift I got instead of a ring after my long rant about me being against rings and also that I do not plan to marry a smoker :-D Good memories, that kitten was engagement and wedding ring and replaced a child for us... Now my Kody is dead and only me and our old cat are left. I am worried that taking another pet would be animal cruelty because most of the time I either work or sleep...
@@lavdejeva9079I got a rescue dog & I couldn’t be happier. He doesn’t mind if I need a nap. He naps with me. He gives me unconditional love & is so in tune with what I need it’s stunning.
You could look at an older cat. I mean not a kitten.
Donu you're a breath of fresh air. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲. Harry was such a nice young man when he came here a few years ago representing his grandmother. He has turned into a surly unpleasant man.
The Queen. Cried when she watched the Oprah show!
Allegedly...
@@sable1934 No not allegedly-factually
@@louonUT because the late queen told you so :-)
@@sable1934they had asked them not to do it at that time as H’s grandfather was very ill, literally on his deathbed. Imagine how he must have felt experiencing something his family had never had, and unable to defend his wife, children and grandchildren? Some ppl seem to lose their humanity when it comes to H&M. They fail to see how vile they acted to family just for them to be the talk of town, fame and money. What was the purpose of the Oprah Winfrey interview?
It is said that Oprah had sought an interview with Princess Diana for years and Princess Diana wouldn’t do it.
Oprah lost a lot of respect by that interview. Her audience didn’t like how she handled it. Either it was her choice or M ambushed her. Even H ended up contradicting his ‘wonderful wife’.
@@louonUTdo u think Pr Andrew didn’t tell his parents how he knew M from the Epstein yachts? Why did the lawyer of the lady who sued M want to have M as a witness against Prince Andrew? The RF sure had a lot they knew about Meghan. Harry didn’t care. He had listened to his confidence in his ability to win a woman to settle down with. When he saw M who was urgently seeking marriage, he was all for it, must have lost his mind after going through 3 proposals to 2 young, professional ladies who were not interested to marry him. Both attended his wedding by the way.
TQ wld have received intelligence reports before the marriage as the marriage also involved working for the firm.
Never in my life did I think I'd be divorced for 10 years at age 62.
My father passed away in 2020, and my mother needs help, so now we find ourselves together in our older years.
I'm not lonely, but I do miss my adult children as they live in the next province, and they are so busy carving out their lives ❤
Thank you, Donu💖🙏🕊🎶🌹🌈💎✨️🔱🍁
Thanks for reminding not to abandon my mother. She will move in with me for some years but when she will retire and move to 'retirement and holiday' home that we work building now, I should remember her more often
I met the 'love of my life' @17yrs old... 7yrs later we went our separate ways...I then met my next partner, who loved my son as his own!! 10yrs later, I'm booked in for a hysterectomy for endometriosis when they discover I was pregnant - the 'dad' went 50 shades of Green & it was bye bye.. my Beautiful Milenium baby arrived.. he's now 24, worked hard, got through Uni & is now a Nurse.. now I could do to find someone for me - I don't think iv forgot what to do 🤣 but it does get lonely 😔
Donu i am so glad that you use your eyes and are not following along snd siding with Meghan s fellow black woman. I am Mexican myself and do not believe she suffered racism at all.
Meghan was never black until she discovered that she could weaponise and monetise her “blackness”
You are a voice of wisdom, intelligence and kindness.
Again you have a Beautiful soul! Thank you Donu for another great video ❤️🕯️🕊️
Her compassion is why I subscribe. I want to be more like her.
@@terryheatwole6153she’s wise!
Thank you for sharing.
Loneliness is the poverty of self, it can add beauty to life, but it can rob your soul at the same time. Love and appreciate your channel.
I really enjoyed this discussion. Loneliness is becoming a real issue for people of all ages.
I love you mama. I've listened to you lately and you seem really nice
Donu: I would have respected Harry and Meghan and defended them... if they left The RF and behaved coherently with their "Freedom Flight". New lives, new beginnings, new chapters. Instead their behavior shows entitlement, lack of talent and laziness. Allow me to mention also: The lack of responsibility... everything is because of "the other''. About loneliness... Perhaps it is related to Mental Health, the world today and caution. As always, it is a pleasure to listen to you!
There's a difference btwn being alone and feeling lonely...there's also the point of ''old age'' as time marches on.
Our mindset has to be positive and as long as we can look forward to things we're ahead of the game.
Thank you Donu...
I think having a purpose is very important. It helps negate the loneliness. It seems your new purpose is the youtube channel which is very good.
That's so true. Sometimes you can feel lonely when you're with other people - more so than being alone. I rarely experience loneliness, but the few times that I do it is painful.
Very good advice. Do not criticize family in public.
Good for you blocking Bigfoot’s untruths.
I liked how she did it and moved on!
Sugars should stick to their own You Tube channels.
Donu I am so glad I found you! I am in my late 70's and I felt that you were speaking directly to me today! I look forward to each Friday......."thank goodness it is Friday! I will meet with my friend Donu". I am lonely too and I find comfort with my dog. We walk trails together, play games together: he listens to my chatter and pretends to understand me! I wish I could hug you. Thank you for these videos. Keep up the good work.
I wish I could hug you right now!
@@TLouise1959 Thank you❤
The way megan and harry treat the Queen, they never gone find peace. Very sad
So true.
Narcissists are full of rage and can never find peace. They don't even want it because they thrive on the drama they cause in other people's lives.
Generally speaking.
Apropos of nothing.
Perhaps.
💯💯
Miss Donu, I’ve found a different form of loneliness-debilitating chronic illness. Surrounded by family who loves me, but I can’t enter into their lives. Often bedridden due to the constant fatigue, they have to go about their lives, while I watch. It’s like watching a movie. My biggest fear is that they will move on, since I can’t be there for them.
I am sure they will never move on and no matter the life they have to live they value you as the most wonderful blessing.
My Kody was disabled and it was hard to work and after work to take care of him. He was trying to be helpful, of course, but still... At times, if I was unwell as well, we would lie down/sit and simply touch our fingers as we would have no energy to even hold hands :-) His presence alone was happiness. I did not complain about any hardships, well, at times about lack of sleep, and I hope he did not take it the wrong way... I would gladly agree to even harder conditions if I would be able to have him back...
No matter what your condition is, people who love you love you unconditionally and you will always be a blessing to them no matter what. I hope they can remember to remind you more often because at times it is easy to be too busy to express our real feelings and another person may think it is less than it really is.
Remember, being alive you are there for them. When you die one day... That will be much more heartbreaking.
yes, I am dealing with that too. My daughter lives near my two grandchildren but they have busy lives. My friends have moved away. My financial future does not look good.
Donu, you are a beautiful woman, full of grace and wisdom. If we lived near each other, I think we would be good friends.
I am a single introverted female in her mid 40s. Have no kids and live alone but am not lonely as I keep myself busy with exercise, charity and self improvement. There is a lot of stigma in Nigeria and I get undermined a lot but I have learned not to care. I don't engage too much with people as I find most chats end up in gossip which I hate. I don't date married men and will never do so because I saw the damage it causes from watching my parents marriage break up because of other women. It is an experience I would not wish on anyone.
I am 59yrs old and married to my best friend but i am so scared to be alone that i pray i pass away before him. I dont want to be here without him. I had a very close friend so i thought until i noticed she fancied my hubby!
Hey, hay, someone has to be strong and brave :-) Is your husband strong enough to be on his own? Mine would have been totally lost without me and in such despair that no matter how hard it is, I know he had to be first to go and then will be our cat, I have to outlive my little family because someone has to bury everyone else and do all the hard job....
@@lavdejeva9079 I feel the same way.
Dear Mrs Donu, I am very happy to have found your channel. Today's theme touches a nerve with me. When I retired from work, I lost all my friends. They were not friends but coworkers. I am in Texas, USA. We all lived in different towns, so after we got home, we had another life. I have been married for 52 1/2 years and my husband is an introvert. Needless to say only my son and my daughter come to visit with the grandchildren some weekends. I would love to have a friend to have coffee or go out to lunch occasionally. I have two sisters who live in Miami, Florida, USA. I am 74 soon to be 75 in August.
I always knew coworkers were never friends! We all tried to get along to just save our job! But to trust them? NEVER!
Denize...where are you? I live in New Braunfels! I moved to San Antonio when I was ten, the Austin in college, and then I married and lived in DFW for 20 years and back to SA and NB.
I love listening to you. Keep up the great work.
I feel like I have a new friend watching your video. ❤️
Me too. You're an inspiration Donu. Thank you.
OMG! I also! I thank the CZcams algorithm that sent her my way, and then, after watching her videos, I celebrated an educated, compassionate voice by subscribing. I have not been disappointed.
Donu, I wish you were my next door neighbor! If you could stand a 70 year old white woman 😊 Your conversation is wise, gentle and kind. I'm sure you have a great sense of humor. I too lost my best friend to death. I am sad for your loss as well. God bless you Donu. Yours is a bright soul on this earth.
Oh what joy to listen to a woman of real experience and intelligence. Just a joy. Thanks!
Hi Donus, I am 68, In my formative years, as a child, I was brought up in Institutional Care, (Aussie),, I have been Married had children & divorced, ,, I am on my own now, & I toss up, between Being Lonely, & being happy, being alone,, Strange,, Sometimes I am very busy, with social groups & coffee with friends and at other times, I have periods of not having any outings to go to,, I must say I do like coming home & closing the door on the world in general & just having my own space,,, I do like going out & meeting up with friends & people, but there are times when , that isn't possible, as friends have their own agenda, so sometimes I have to wait a while, before catching up with them,, it is these times that I feel alone,, & I will then either get to work on some quilting , cleaning or gardening just to pass my time,,, I also think, as I get older, I don't want to take on new people, as I can't be bothered putting up with any bullshit, & I myself am not perfect, so I can't be bothered being rejected either,, sounds strange, but that's the way I roll. The world is a crazy place, some say it's getting worse, but I think, if we look at history, human kind has not really change at all, these days, it is just hidden, under the guise of sophistication. If we had really moved on. then we could just look in peoples eyes, listen to what they say, accept their soul, & they accept ours,, simple,, Simplicity is complexed in it's simplicity.
Donu 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼💐💐💐🌹🇬🇧🏴😊 you’re a breath of fresh sun filled air, I love how you talk, its like sitting at the table with you!
Well said 👏
It does feel like that!
I am surrounded by family, 24-7. Three generations living in this little house with all their squabbles and drama. And laughter too. I love them all but I wish I could be alone a little more.
I understand 🙂 ❤
Oh no! don't ever wish that. When it comes it might not go away.
Spot on 👏👏 Such good advice and wisdom
What a lovely lady you are
❤THANKYOU Donu for expressing your views & feelings in such a concise & polite way. You have such an easy manner & your views are spot on.
Hi Donu
I too am in my 60’s … and yes single by choice ✅❤️
Being with a man who doesn’t respect me wasn’t it
I get out everyday with my dog
We walk the trails and meet up with other people walking their dogs
Walking and talking works for me
And yes sometimes I feel lonely
But I appreciate myself most in a healthy way ❤
So sad to hear about Your friend Claudia … she was your Gail King ✅ women supporting women 💯🇨🇦
Be strong Donu! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Wise woman. I lost my best friend during the beginning of covid. I'm married but I miss her so much.
Your story about your friend touched me. That's something one never gets over. Wishing you peace.
Donu, it's lovely to hear your chats.
This was my life a decade ago:The parents I had moved to this rural area from a lively urban town to care for had passed. I lived alone with two little dogs & didn't have any real friends in the area. One cold, blustery, SNOWY eve, I prayed, telling God how lonely I felt. Suddenly, in the tapestry I had been looking at for 3 years & had only seen the floral scenery, the face of Christ became prominently visible.
Today, at 70, I have a church family I adore, who shower me with hugs & love. I now can be as social as I can tolerate. After surviving health issues in the winter of 2022, I was left with a calling to paint. I've been told I should sell my artwork, but honestly, Donu, it gives me too much joy to give it as gifts.
My point is to surrender your life to God & you'll be amazed at how his perfect will will work in your life.
May God bless you. ❤
I've heard that Meghan is cancelled from Hollywood because of her treatment of Thomas Markle.
Mr. Markle was an award winning lighting director in Hollywood. Everyone knew him. Meagain hurt herself badly in Hollywood by turning Mr Markle into a bad guy. Too many knew the bad side of her & the nice side of him!
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your best friend. It never leaves you.❤
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and kindness
And yet, despite all the uproar, we STILL don't know what color the baby's skin is.
I lost a friend in primary school, Funke Akinrinade. We were young but best friends until about primary 4, when she went on summer vacation to the UK with her dad and stepmother and died in the UK. I was so young that I can’t remember what she died of, but I know she was sick there and died. It was a shock to my young mind. I think we would have been best mates for life. We had so much in common. It’s one of those things about life and we may have gone our separate ways but I still believe with how close we were we would have maintained a bond.
What a sensible lady. Thank you🙂
Ages ago, I heard that there are 3 things needed to be happy.
1. Someone to love that is requited.
2. Something enjoyable to do.
3. Something enjoyable to look forward to.
When you achieve these, you are genuinely blessed. ❤
That is easy to do for me...get a dog or better yet get a horse and you have a loyal friend for life, who listens and be with you no matter what.
This was quoted by the late Elvis Presley….very true even today.
I strongly suspect that the two grifters truly enjoy causing anguish and pain to others. It is doubtful that either one of them has a conscience or sense of decency. I do not say that easily, but they are two of the nastiest people one could imagine.
It would be interesting to know if you have all these things. I have someone to love, but they keep me longing to see them as they are very busy. It breaks my heart because I'm also 70 and I'm not in the best health, and the things I thought were enjoyable are not available. I'm looking still. Looking forward is hard when you see a lot of medical appts and not having the resources to pay for everything. It's sad to say, but everything has gotten very expensive, and money can help tremendously. That is the reality.
MADAM DONU , THANK YOU FOR YOUR STERLING CONTRIBUTION.
Hello Donu! Thanks a lot for sharing on the "taboo" subject of loneliness. Being myself a single woman without children, I live alone and often feel lonely; I know this heavy and painful feeling well. I now have 2 people I can trust and share my problems with, and they are, of course, very important to me.
Donu, I very much appreciate your honesty and authenticity. I'm looking forward to your next video.
Have a nice weekend!
I’m sorry for your loss as a young woman 😢 nice you spoke of her today ❤
❤ To you, for your honesty, straightforwardness and courage.
Your story about your best friend brought me to tears.
You are Brave to breech the subject of loneliness Bravo 👏 👏👏 I think a lot of young people are lonely too unfortunately. I’ll be back 💕
Lady Donu, You are such a lovely lady, smart, articulate and spot-on. You sum up what the majority of us feel. I wish for you all good things in life.
Lonliness is a very sensitive topic. For me I can say that I am absolutely lonely in a relationship. We both live our own lives and I got used to it. I do not want to talk to him anymore. Some day I will leave here, that's for sure. I never thought that I would get used to a situation like this. I am 67 now, thank God I have few but very good friends who are there for me. For me it is better to be on myself than in a bad relationship.
Unless you're abused just stay. You're too old to leave. Husband is a zero and friends are fine. Just get out of the house and do things. Volunteerism is a great way to meet new people and elevate your mind.
I think you are such a lovely lady Donu and if you were my friend I would consider you to be a great friend to have. You have great morals and have a lovely demeanour. My serious best friend passed away this year from MND, the devastation has been immense!
It was so nice to watch your channel again today. I agree with the points you made at the front end of your video. I was very saddened to hear you talk about loneliness because I know many people who feel the same way. I was married for 30 years when my husband died 3 years ago and now im alone but not lonely. If I feel in need of company there are many people that I can call for a coffee and natter. I do enjoy my own company however and would not consider giving it up. I have no desire to have anyone permanently in my life anymore. If I don’t want to go out I have all my CZcamsrs to talk with as well. I’m 70 years old and I’m at peace in my life, at long last. Keep it up Danu you have a long way to go yet, I’m planning on doing another 30 years, see if you can keep up with me.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on loneliness, Donu. ❤
Yes indeed, loneliness is a big problem. Your friend was so beautiful. It’s a tragedy when young life is cut short and they don’t get to fulfil their potential.
I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago when Harry and Meghan were visiting Nigeria. I really enjoy your honest, natural and insightful thoughts. Your comments lonliness touched me as I too have similar feelings. Who would imagine that one can be alone in your older years. Im 56 and do enjoy my own company but as you say, getting older and finding a suitable partner does become harder. I'm sorry for your loss of your Ghanaian friend. Having someone like the "Oprah and Gail King" frindship is rare. So loosing someone like that must have been devastating for you. Ive had and have many good friends but none that I could talk to daily like that. Ive found that your social circle often changes when friends marry, have children etc. You no longer seem to have commonalities and friendships tend to become more distant. I agree with your views on how WhatsApp has affected our connections with people. Its just so much easier to send a WhatsApp than actually call and speak to someone. I guess this is one of the societal changes that affects many of us. Thanks for another great video. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you for your thoughtful reflexión not only on those two dysfunctional people, the Harkles, but on the loneliness in the world.
I’m a woman in my 70s, alone in the world. I tried to do and fill my life with peace, beautiful moments. Get together with friends and family whenever I can.
Yes, so far I’d been able to deal with it in a practical way; I sometimes worry about if I reach an advance age what will happen.
Let’s take one moment at a time.
Best wishes Donu.
Hello Donu, it’s been a pleasure finding you and listening to your podcast. You are very well spoken and knowledgeable
I love everything you are saying.
You are a very learned woman
Lamento mucho su pérdida y me conmueve la profundidad de su dolor.
Yo no he tenido esa alma gemela, es un privilegio para usted haber construido esa amistad con su amiga. Un abrazo desde Cali, Colombia.
PS…I always love your dresses. The wonderful fabrics! Can you consider a fashion series showcasing Nigerian dresses and fabrics, and styles?🇦🇺
. Megan should call herself, Meghan Ragland, obviously showing the way she treats her father!
Your sadness reminds me of my feelings for my friend who died in a nursing home. She was like a sister to me. I recognize the emptiness you are experiencing. So sorry for your loss.
Right on Lady D. I hope they don't get to you like they got to the 1st lady.
You're an amazing woman Donu! Thank You for your insightful videos 💜🇺🇲
Hi Donu, really enjoying your videos. I’m an old lady from South Africa. Just looking at the photos of you as a young lady, how beautiful and full of life you were, well you still are !!! Please don’t be so hard on yourself, you have gone through the most horrendous life changing trauma and still pulled yourself up and carried on. Losing your lifelong friend is heartbreaking, I know I’ve lost two. There are lots of people who feel isolated, and as we age sometimes we feel it’s too much hassle to make new friendships, it’s very hard when you’ve lived a productive and busy life to retire and find yourself in different circumstances.
You have a brilliant mind and a wonderful sense of fairness, so Donu I’m sending you light and love and looking forward to your next video. ❤
Hi from the UK,,,I've been following you since your first blog on Harry and Meghan,,,racism is not just against blacks it's against any intolerance towards another of any race , religion or colour,,,please keep on with your balanced views,,l find them interesting,,prayers to you and your family❤
The Voice of Reason today Donu! Commiserations on your friend - love comes in many forms ❤❤❤💔💔💔My father and I spoke very often and we were extremely close - my Aunt says we were old souls together or soul mates - his loss 11 years ago was and still is devastating.
The comments around "black meat" - OMG how awful...thankfully I haven't seen them as if I did I would get myself into a fight! How do people actually press "post" on these sorts of comments are sick.
Loneliness can be literally a killer. My sister has just been widowed after 33 years at 60. Thankfully she has two funny old cats to keep her company as she is far away from us. We didn't speak for a few years over some family interference which has saddened us - thankfully we are past that. We now speak most days, if not at least 3 times a week. My time is a small gift I can give her - my life is blessedly very full, busy, interesting and I have a loving husband, 3 kids + 3 step-kids, many friends and she just has the cats and contact with the local shop owners. A smile when you pass someone in the supermarket or a quick few words in the aisle might make that person's day...
Have a great weekend Donu...and I hope you have "connections" x
regarding Meghan and Harry, in your previous videos you explained yourself well, you were very clear
Let's forget about Megan and Harry for a while. Please tell us about your life. What is your day like? I find your point of view interesting. Let's talk about other things, please.
I’m glad she didn’t spend much time on the two grifters! Donu is interesting and has a wealth of information to share.
I loved the summary at the end. It was a perfect way to say, "let's move onto more meaningful topics."
I really enjoyed your reflections on what it means to be single in a world of couples. I divorced in 1982 (with four children to bring up) so I have had plenty of experience of not meeting the right person for a 'comfortable nice kind of relationship'. Plenty of affairs but nothing that would stand the test of time. Now, at an advanced age I would say the secret to old age is being solvent but not affluent. This provides a continual interest in where to get things you need for not much money. I have, personally, always found huge solace in animal companionship, their affection and the physical activity of walking for more than an hour a day. I have had a beautiful friendship for the last ten years with two other single women and we have seen each other every day. Now there is only the two of us and perhaps not for very long. I also do most of the DIY in my house and get a lot of pleasure from maintaining my house. And, then, there is the intellectual side of things - crosswords, reading, newspapers, CZcams, etc. I'm 80 but I still have it in me to look forward to the future. Now I have a new pleasure - listening to you, Donu, so Thank You.
Hello Donu, I am so pleased to have found your channel. Your calm and eloquent manner is a pleasure to listen to. I was widowed four and a half years ago, having been with my husband since the age of sixteen. I am sixty eight now. I listened with interest to your thoughts on loneliness and can say hand on heart that I never feel lonely. I would never consider bringing another man into my children and grandchildren’s lives. Their father and grandfather was too beloved. Even the youngest granddaughter, who never knew him, speaks about him as if she did. I consider myself blessed to have good and loyal friends and a little home that I love. If I can share my thoughts with anyone, it would be this; find joy in the small things in life, don’t expect too much from others but be generous with your time and friendship. Giving brings so much happiness. God bless.
Duno, I saluut you. People are just running away from the truth. I couldn't agree more with your views ❤
Your channel and your commentary is excellent. When you mention that sometimes people misinterpret what you are saying. I think thst quite often, people hear what they want to hear. You present narratives of common sense and clarity. Thank you. I am pleased to be a subscriber.
You talk a lot of sense. Thanks'.
"British class stuff can be a bit boring" 😂😂 Love the understatement!
Donu you are a beautiful soul and I know exactly how you feel. Love your show all tge way from sunny south africa
Donu, i feel so sad for you about your soul sister. I lost mine to breast cancer. I talk to her picture every day. I also lost my son which I'll never get over. I too know other people but it can never be the same. Currently i am a carer for my hubby as hes a heart patient and has slight dementia. When all these things happen you just see how everyone disappears to lead their own lives and you no longer are a part of their lives. This shows me how fickle people really are. A life lessson on how to be alone in your old age. I like being on my own now as its too hard for me to read people and see what they are actually like.
I agree with you. My soul sister was my bff since we were in early school together. She died of colon cancer. I was her hospice nurse. We were quite a distance apart so I told her to call me when she needed me. Her father helped me get through nursing school. He said he did it because her he knew I’d take care of her when she needed me. So I went. We did the things she wanted to do to complete her jobs. Return a pair of pants for her. Get some things she always had on hand for her husband. And so on. As she was passing I sang part of Andrea Bochelli’s Time To Say Goodbye. She loved his singing. I still talk to her & many times I feel her presents. It’s a blessing.
New friends aren’t the same. But I have a few that stick by me through thick & thin. I can stand my own company, but it’s nice to be alone most of the time. I’m not pressured to carry on a conversation & if I get the blues I’ll get out & do something to make myself laugh. If it truly is bad, I give it to God & I get peace.
I’m never alone because He’s with me. Donu you have touched me in wonderful ways & I thank you.
Claudia was a beautiful girl. Rest in Peace dear lady. I lost a soul mate best friend and it was just the 1 year mark a couple weeks ago. We grew up together, lots of hijinks, had periods of fall out as we grew and changed but we always patched up differences. Her energy was playful, and men worshipped her because she was gorgeous. She was a hard working Virgo woman that did not suffer fools gladly. I know how you feel Donu, it hurts very much. I allow my sad episodes but try not to dwell as I worry about keeping someone’s spirit earthbound when they should be moving on , and hopefully up. Thank you for listening.
You are a lovely lady with such good values. I think there are many people who would love to have a friend like you.
Thank you for your brutal honesty and for being such an excellent role model for women of every color. ❤ I’ve been married for 44 years. I went through years of loneliness and finally became… “used” to it. I’m okay with it. My husband is very occupied with his career and it’s okay now. I have my own work, but it is not as much a part of me as his is. But I think we all face loneliness and must face it as we grow older. I’ve lost 4 of my 5 brothers tragically, and at almost 72 I’ve lost many friends & family. It could be loss of loved ones prepares us for our own death and gives us wisdom to face it without fear. Honestly it’s very difficult to trust people to be authentic and open.

Hi! I'm from Western New York. It's a small world. 🧡
@@susanroll7297 Indeed it is. I also attended Syracuse University and the University of Rochester, as well as worked at the main Office of Eastman Kodak. I have wonderful memories all over the State of New York. Nice to hear from you.
Thank you for your honesty, and wisdom.
Amen
😊 ✨️ 🙏
I love your thought process and how you explain the negative behavior of Megan during the interview with Oprah. You are absolutely right about Oprah giving her some advice instead of letting her go on and bash the Royal family which happens to be her in-laws. Oprah could have put herself in a better light had she acted like a role model for Meghan.
I agree with your summary of Harry & MM. Thanks, Donu, you’ve got a good channel.
I really do love to see your videos. You are one of the few people who give a truly balanced opinion,give complete honesty for & against the issues,without needing to be offensive or alternatively not being too 'mushy'. I think you have what is unfortunately getting rapidly rarer amongst humanity. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time,& being so honest. Thankyou, & please take care x
Bravo madame...❤from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Hi you are an amazing woman. I am so happy i found your channel. From South Africa 😊
Your message is so beautiful and powerful. One can have moments of loneliness no matter how many people you live with.
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear friend.
It is very hard to loose the friend to whom you feel the closest.
I'm a woman, 9 years older than you & live in the Midwestern
U. S. A.
I love your channel & message. See you next time.❤
Thank God HMTQ was not around to see the shyster mocking the Queen's curtsey😢
