Where is Meghan?

[StarInTheHeavens]

I haven't seen hide-nor-hair of Meghan since the book release which is uncharacteristic of her. Even with the Montecito floods there was no news. So I'm wondering how this is playing out? Happiness or anger behind closed doors?

Meghan and Harry have behaved the same as Thomas. Selling out your family relationships for money. I have judged them all the same.

Where was his invite ? Everyone else got one, they should have met him and managed his obvious worries beforehand

Many texts were also not read out at the court case so we may not have the full story there regarding the wedding

it was handled very badly and has gotten worse since.

i’m sure if they could rewind, they’d all have acted differently (well perhaps not Samantha but the heat could have been taken out there too by a few words from Meghan)

Is this the plane ticket incident where they sent plane tickets to him for a flight that didn't exist?

I think he was low on money. Maybe he didn't see the harm in getting newspapers to fund his exercise program and kitting him out with a nice suit? Naive, but I struggle to see it as something terrible? It's not like he was selling stories about meghans early struggles to get acting jobs or failing exams. There was no vindictiveness behind it, but maybe I'm missing it?

Yeah, I guess allowing paparazzi pictures of yourself is a bit tacky but he indicated it was because he was embarrassed by previous photos and wanted to improve his media image.

It seems like Meghan would understand this. She had tipped paparazzi off before and is believed to still do so. She has worked to control her image with the media. She had already experienced the media pressure at that point.

I’m amazed how Meghan and Harry are held to be ultimately responsible for the actions and feelings of everyone on Meghan’s paternal side of the family. That’s at least 3 people they were supposed to shepherd through this whole experience of Meghan meeting and marrying Harry. Yet, Doria managed it, no sweat.

He’s released a song using the choir of the January 6th jailed rioters and mixed in his voice. A good argument for monarchy, though I hate to admit it. Fascism wrapped up in nationalism is on the rise all over the world, sadly.

@Morestrangethings

Doria’s got the VIP treatment, while Thomas’s invite got lost in the post.
She got to meet her SIL before the wedding, but they couldn’t meet her dad.

Their treatments were radically different.

You don’t think Meghan flew Doria over to London well before hand and helped her decide what to wear?

I sure hope she did. think that’s pretty basic.

Who is the 3rd person?

The brother. He’s whinged and accused too.

Yes you are missing a lot.

I know nothing about non existent planes, was that a DM story? I have taken the texts to him from H&M, from court reporting. That can't be denied.

Yeah... sell your story and pictures just before your daughter's wedding for £100,000 because you can't afford a suit. Good one!
No it wasn't improving his image. It was selling pictures to the MSM for a lot of money a very short time before your daughter's wedding. I can't imagine how stressful that was for her. But 'improving his image' it was not... the pictures were taken in a party goods shop with the assistant who worked there because the suit outfitter was closed. Way to go to improve your image there!

Anyway, I can't be bothered to talk more on this. If posters want to believe he was faultless, that's fine, their prerogative.

Er, from what I've read Doria was absent in Meghans life for what, 15 years? She doesnt get bad press though.

As for daddy Markle I'm sure my Dad would be floundering to know what to do if I suddenly announced I was marrying royalty, especially if he was told what to do by a few phone calls. Then my only contact with future son in law was yet more dictating calls . I think my Dad would have a few choice words for Harry who didn't have the decency to meet him in person.
All the excuses can be made in the world but it was utter bad manners by Harry not to see his future father in law face to face.

The bigger picture for me is that H&M do all the things they complain about.

They take money to discuss their families. They give info to the media.
They used Christopher Bouzy’s services while he has been proven to troll W&K.
Meghan tipped off paparazzi regularly.
Meghan talked about her sister’s relationship with her children.
Meghan had her friends leak her letter.

The list goes on and on.

They never acknowledge their own mistakes and they don’t seem to ever forgive anyone else.

Re: Doris being absent for 15 years: No. You are misinformed. That’s a Twitter rumour - it’s been mentioned on here before, but debunked.

Yeah that’s the kind of thing for me that feels off limits and out of line.

I lived with my Dad when I was in high school. It was not my Mom’s choice or fault. Just a decision I made. I’d like to throttle anyone that criticized her for it.

I’ve just ignored him. And I definitely don’t feel Meghan had an obligation to have anyone there.

But I don’t understand why her Dad wasn’t given some help given how she described their relationship.

It’s not our business but Meghan talked about her mum having to travel for her jewellery business so it was easier to stay with her dad during some of her childhood From those accounts both clearly cared about her and she loved them both. There didn’t seem to be animosity between them and she never seemed that she was under pressure to choose a parent.

I just wonder if this account will change in her autobiography though

Have you not read my post alluding to all the help H&M were offering him?

It can't be disputed it's part of court documents. Text after text after text offering help, imploring him to return calls, sending people out to him to help him, trying to find out where he was in hospital. Begging for an update on his health etc.

Why do you ignore that? Why say 'I don't understand why her Dad wasn't given some help' when he clearly was.

Here if you want to read it. You probably won't

The Doria rumor was started by that anti-Meghan author, I can't be bothered to remember his name. He said she was un prison for 10 years for drug.

Except he looked up Dorian Ragland not Doria Ragland.

He also admitted that Harry could keep his titles, "it is Meghan I am after".

You know, nice balanced reporting from a "journalist"

I did read the book, Tom Bower just said Meghan lived with her dad but didn’t go into any details at all

Good lord, I had not seen that.

I agree, if I could have picked Charles over Trump I would have.

I think Congress needs to charge him with treason and then punish him to the full extent allowed by law.

Could you imagine his dumb ass in military prison? 🤣

Care to elaborate in what way they were held responsible?

I don't think it's unreasonable that 2 millionaires pay for the cash strapped elderly father to have a nice suit or be put up somewhere private until after the wedding? Not exactly taking responsibility just showing empathy. The rest of the family could have come under their own steam.

They tried to help him, he rejected their help. As I said in my previous post.

@Roussette You really need to educate yourself if you are going to defend two proven liars.

The plane tickets. Harry said in his memoir (verifiable) meghan bought 1st class tickets on NZ airways to fly Thomas from Mexico to the UK for his privacy. NZ airways responded immediately saying they do not offer 1st class tickets and they do not fly from Mexico to the UK (verifiable).

As for Thomas selling his story, he clearly lived a cash strapped life and the media are good at spin. He was naive but not dishonourable. If he simply wanted to make money why have a suit measured to attend his daughters wedding? If it was selling her down the river, he would have known he wouldn't have got an invite.

And if you're looking at selling your story for money, trashing two families, an institution and a country, pot/kettle/black, with massive bells on Harry and Meghan, those souls of discretion.

Yes, utterly shameful. No matter what indiscretions Thomas committed talking to a newspaper, he was just naive and misguided. To have Meghans sickening 'dear daddy, you are so wonderful...' letters discussed for effect only, then throw him under a bus (the one that's getting pretty crowded by now) because he didn't 'look' the part, especially when he had a heart attack, points to a horrifying level of hypocrisy and narcissism. Harry is no better, having no respect for his own family's privacy and not even bothering to talk to Thomas.

@Roussette Your posts are often factually incorrect as you refuse to do your homework.
