This is sponsored stalking. It is familial abuse. The only people who don't see it for what it is are the people in whose eyes Meghan will always be in the wrong.

I agree* *@MrsMaxDeWinter .

I have to think that Thomas snr thinks only of himself. His daughter Meghan has been so harmed by the tabloids, social media, himself, and her own half brother and sister that she was at one point suicidal. But this man, who persists in denigrating his own daughter, and seems not to see anything but his own feelings in this, cannot understand why his daughter has cut him off in order to protect herself and her little family.

For those that ask why he ‘suddenly’ became such a bad father after years of Meghan praising him, I’d offer the sad view that it can take a child, an adult child, years to reconcile who they want to believe a parent is, and who that parent actually is.

So many women have ended their lives after being abused by media and social media. Yet her own father thinks it’s fine to join in that abuse - and has done so for years. He’s leading a pack of hyenas as far as I am concerned.

I think Doria is wonderful. She has been a steadfast, loving and supportive presence in her daughter’s life. Despite having had to fend off unwelcome intrusions by the media, and having had to endure scurrilous, baseless rumours circulating about her, she has at all times maintained her dignity. A pity her ex husband and two ex step children couldn’t follow her example.

It's really quite straightforward as far as I can see, all members of the Markle family are driven by $$ and a large dollop of jealously. You can pose numerous questions about 'why did he do this ..' and 'why did she do that...' but it's a dysfunctional family, they don't operate along the same boundaries as most 'normal' families do, much the same as the RF don't either.

Thomas Markle is a nasty nasty piece of work.

Well the apples didn't fall far from the tree then?

Stemmingthetide · 01/05/2023 08:49

@Morestrangerthings I agree about Doria, but where are her family? To my knowledge Meghan’s family on Doria’s side have not said anything negative to the press but we’re not at the wedding etc.

We have no rights to know where her family are. They have chosen privacy. Their reasons are none of our business. And surely their privacy is to be respected.

@Morestrangerthings @tatalan @MrsMaxDeWinter I'm don't support Meghan but it actually stresses me out to see this constant abuse of her. I came off Facebook as it was coming into my feed. It happened to Caroline Flack, Paula Yates, Diana. None of these people are perfect but they were hounded to their deaths. This is just ten times worse because her family are joining in.

Look at her other abusers Piers Morgan, the nasty little worm who who printed staged photos of actors posing as British soldiers abusing Iraqi soldiers to make money. Jeremy Clarkson who hit an employee because his dinner was late. But apparently Meghan is the biggest narcissist.

I think there are a couple of people on this forum who would be happy if she killed herself. She's not going to be able anything right whilst she's alive.

They probably don't want to be in the public eye.

I find it odd that people who seem to dislike Meghan so much, have gone a looked for this to watch. are they the same people who want her to go away?

So they can have a bitch about it.

polkadotdalmation · 01/05/2023 09:06

The markles are dysfunctional family for sure. They are on a scale way above the royal family. I'm sure no RF children have ever been taken into care. The royal family as a whole are typical of many of the adults in this country, 50% marry the wrong person, get divorced and remarry, children shuttle between parents. So unless you say half the families in the country are dysfunctional, they are not.
Charles and Diana, definitely dysfunctional. Diana had clear emotional problems from her parents dysfunctional marriage (not simply divorce, but a lot of abandonment and animosity). Arguments between Charles and Diana, dragging William and probably Harry into the battles, the massive press coverage, Camilla and culminating in Diana's very public death, was undoubtedly dysfunctional.

William and Harry were both affected negatively but William has been 'saved' by marrying a woman from a very strong supportive family. He at least is not repeating history.

Judging by Harry's behaviour since his marriage, his paranoia which was always there, his disclosures in his book etc he needed a strong stable woman. He has a strong woman but is she a product of her dysfunctional family? Judging by her inability to tell the truth, her inflated ego and self aggrandisement, I'd say not. All those point to dysfunction.

Stemmingthetide · 01/05/2023 09:07

@Morestrangerthings fair point.

StormzyinaTCup · 01/05/2023 09:08

I find it odd that people who seem to like Meghan and dislike the other Markle's and even call them 'white trash' can't actually see how similar they all are to each other.

Xenia · 01/05/2023 09:09

For a lot of us it just comes down to basic human decency - that you let your parents unless they are axe murderers see both grandfathers even if just a few times a year. It is not hard to suck up what you feel, smile and put up with it. Prince Harry and his wife do not seem prepared to do that which is a pity.

polkadotdalmation · 01/05/2023 09:13

@Rockybooboo I don't think anyone here wishes Meghan any harm. Quite the opposite. I personally don't like her because of her actions, nothing else. If she would stop attacking my country and calling ordinary citizens like me racist, leave her husbands family alone instead of making money out of calling them racist etc, and just stay in America, do the things she said she would when she left, make her money by decent means, she would definitely have my blessing.

So far she and her husband have done nothing but cause misery for others, all the while claiming victimhood from their mansion, while people struggle to heat their homes. That level of arrogance and lack of empathy did it for me and many others. The hypocrisy of private jets and Royal titles is astonishing.

StormzyinaTCup · 01/05/2023 09:14

Just for clarification, I wasn't saying the RF and the Markles are the same just that they are both dysfunctional in their own way.

That is a dreadful phrase ☹️

Stemmingthetide · 01/05/2023 09:23

@polkadotdalmation I agree about the RF, watching the BBC programme last night two things struck me the first was the physical relationship between Charles, William and Harry when children. There was a lovely scene of Charles lying down with a 8/9/10 year old William snuggled right into him whilst looking through binoculars. It shows he was a physically interactive parent, you couldn’t fake that level of comfortableness. The media always portrayed Diana as the hugger by being selective e.g. the big hug on Britannia but cutting out the equally big hug Charles gave the boys.

The second was that Charles and Diana were effectively victims of an arranged marriage. They barely knew each other, and as you say it is very likely Diana had emotional issues from her childhood and parents divorce.

Parker231 · 01/05/2023 09:23

The Markles and the RF are both very similar - dysfunctional.

Samcro · 01/05/2023 09:25

@Stemmingthetide I watched that. didn't see him with harry though?

so the dad who has sold his dd out should just be forgiven?
yet H&M are berated for doing it to the RF. so if that is the case do the RF just have to suck it up?

MrsFinkelstein · 01/05/2023 09:28

"The media always portrayed Diana as the hugger by being selective e.g. the big hug on Britannia but cutting out the equally big hug Charles gave the boys."

Agree.

See also the clip of Diana running in the school sports race, but never showing the photo of Charles running in the "Dads" race on the exact same day.

It's all PR spin, and most still fall for it.

IMO, they should all (The Markle's, and H&M, esp H) just grow up and stop using the media as their personal family therapy sessions.

Deal with it privately.

Stemmingthetide · 01/05/2023 09:31

@Samcro so you missed Harry sitting on Charles’ knee with the Rabbit. Charles sort of winced when Harry was given the rabbit as he could see how precarious it was and made sure Harry and the rabbit were secure. He was clearly worried that Harry was going to be too rough as young children can be and was talking to Harry.

The Royal Family have nannies and the kids go to Boarding school from a young age so very unlikely to need social services.

does Meghan really have the inability to tell the truth? You'd have to spend a lot of time with someone to know that they never tell the truth. What makes you think she has inflated ago?

What do you actually want from Meghan? You don't like her, it's obvious. This year she has been seen twice in public. She's not in anyone's face. She's not taking tax payers money. She's not coming to the coronation. She's not slagging off The RoyAl family. Look at enemy Piers Morgan, he's always on our screens. He's constantly on about The Royal family even though he's slagged them off and called them racist before.

What could Meghan do to make you not want spend time moaning about her
