Meghan's letter to her dad in The Sunday Fail

[IdaBWells]

really? Is this for real? She sent her dad a letter last August and he said she hasn't tried to contact her. He just gave the letter to the tabloids. If this is real he hasn't told the truth about anything.

Grab the popcorn.

I don't know as I've never asked them. I respect their decision and don't judge them for it.

This letter looks it was written with publication in mind. That was a sensible thing to do, wasn't it?
I feel really sorry for MM after reading this letter. She's in a complete no win situation with her father. I was particularly interested in what she said about barely knowing her half sister. It's probably true, given the age gap and geographical distance.

George Clooney now speaking out, comparing her treatment by the media to that of Diana. I presume he means the Mail, over this letter? Didn't see the whole news report (it was ITV news just gone.)

Apparently the Palace is looking at legal action

The problem with that - even if true - is that they'd need to be confident that everyone on "their side" (horrible phrase, I know) is telling the absolute truth, and that they're sure of all relevant facts. Where this isn't the case, things have a nasty habit of falling apart with even worse publicity to follow

Paul Burrell's prosecution, anyone?

I think the legal action would be on the grounds that Meghan has copyright on the text of a private letter. Not sure if they would be sueing the paper or her Dad.

Copyright? Really?

No matter what any one thinks of Megan... she has a right to a peaceful life with her DH.
They didn't make this fuss when she's married her 1st husband.
This is bullying... hounding.... nasty vicious people..... I feel for her... I can't imagine the mental strain..the embarrasment etc...her sister is deranged...

what evidence is there that she's going to take legal action? and what chance does she have of winning when she's not entirely blameless - she's using her friends to leak stories/information. Plus she could have taken steps prior to her engagement and marriage to limit this mess.

I can't remember the details of the Paul Burrell prosecution, can anyone fill me in?

She didn't invite her dsis to her first wedding or any other relatives so why were they hoping for an invitation to this one?!
I agree with the pp who says this is bullying.

And a summary of what many others thought is contained in this Guardian piece:

I’ve just looked at that grilling clip. I hadn’t seen it before. Not much about that is empowering women. Andrew wasn’t allowed to marry Koo Stark. A lot has changed.

Another bullying article this morning. It's interesting the author says she brought all on herself by liking more celebrities than her relatives and now as a result she is bullied by them. What about the nearly daily articles about her? It is bullying so don't tell us about the abandoned relatives. The media could have ignored the relatives?

Oh, and of course she could have invited more relatives to her wedding but I guess the list would have to be approved for such a big occasion. It wasn't just an ordinary wedding. It's easy to blame her when she can't even defend herself.

Yes the bullying has gone far too far. I'm not a fan but she's pregnant. I regret adding to it upthread.

Pmsl that Reese Witherspoon received an invite and declined as she didn’t know them. Sad that Harry’s friends were sidelined for celebrities.

Sad that Harry’s friends were sidelined for celebrities. So he couldn't even choose his wedding guests?

Yeah cos I’m sure he was really tight with all these celebs before

Pmsl that Reese Witherspoon received an invite and declined as she didn’t know them.

Did Reese tell you that herself @user1457017537 or was it something you read in the Daily Mail or Sun?

There's always random celebs at royal weddings - is Princess Eugenie really that close to Demi Moore or Ricky Martin?

Sad that Harry’s friends were sidelined for celebrities.

Were they? Looked to me like there were plenty there. I imagine most of his friends aren't household names so we wouldn't know who they are. The media tends to focus on big names at these events, surely everyone is aware of that?

SamanthaBrique surely everyone is aware of that! Patronising much! It would appear you cannot say anything even a mild observation that was reported in the media, without being criticised. Are you on the payroll by any chance. Is that you new PR Guy?

What does her grilling video (hardly pornographic) or wedding guest list have to do with the original point of this thread? Seriously, people are just looking for ways to blame her for her father's behaviour!

Or blame her for her own. Anyway I am quite bored of the whole debacle now as I am are a lot of people.

Yes Einstein @user1457017537, you've rumbled me 🙄

'Quite bored' yet unable to stop posting rubbish that has nothing to do with the topic of this thread...

It would appear you cannot say anything even a mild observation that was reported in the media, without being criticised.

When the facts don't bear out your "mild observation" that you've swallowed hook, line and sinker from the media, I don't think you can complain when someone points that out.

And no, I'm not Samantha's colleague in the PR agency.
