What will happen when Thomas Markle dies?

[primrosei]

Curious of what will happen re Meghan and Harry, Doria, the kids etc?

What a bitchy comment.

Not at all, I'm being completely serious. Not everyone is a natural writer and she's probably best to get someone with a good writing style.

It will be a difficult moment for her. I predict they will be drawn into making a statement, though what then to put in it?

I also think it'd reflect better on her to see him and make things up before he dies. The Queen wouldn't countenance the half in half out plan they wanted and still got their youngest named after her.

These posts make me anxious
I am estranged from my father and while I would prefer to not attend his funeral the judgement would be hard.

please be kind

Please ignore the posts here.

For half of them it's just because it's Meghan Markle and they're obsessed with hating her, for the other half they can't see the irony of shouting LTB when your partner sneezes at the wrong time but believe that all parents are lovely angels deep down and should be forgiven no matter what.

You are under no obligation to attend anyone's funeral. If anyone ever tries to tell you that you should allow someone back into your life, remember that you cut them out for a reason ❤️

It's tough. I was estranged from my dad, but still arranged the funeral, and went as a mourner. To use a cliche, it gives you closure and I'm glad I did it. Good luck 🤞

How ghoulish is this thread.

Some of you REALLY need to move away from the keyboard and touch some grass.

Nothing, although hopefully he will have a legal burial or cremation. But what anyone else does or doesn't do is irrelevant. In that respect, he is exactly like the rest of the global population.
I am by no means a fan of Meghan, but her relationship (or lack of) with her father is really nobody's business.

Why? If he wants to see her maybe he shouldn't keep running to the Daily Mail and getting paid to slag her off, knowing the things they say about her all day every day, several times a day?

His passing will be a relief for all.

Megan, like many daughters of difficult fathers, can mourn his passing in private.

No need for her to do a public display as there is no good reason. Her completely insane relatives can do all their paid appearances and interviews and beat their drums about “Saint” Thomas the unhinged drunkard..

It never ceases to amaze me how out of sync with the real world MN is. Plenty of people attend the funerals of their ex spouses, especially when they share children. I wouldn't dream of not attending my ex husbands funeral.

There’s no way in the world I would attend my exes funeral. I have a few divorced friends that feel the same. I don’t think it’s unusual.

Meghan will sprinkle him with dried flowers, I imagine.

This thread is in extremely poor traste. Thomas Markle didn't ask to be famous and speculating on his death is gross.

Yip my dad and his wife were at my mums. After the wake the family ended up back at his. There was no animosity after all the years and me and my siblings and our children wanted my dad there for support. She'd also been to his for family parties etc.

However regarding this thread, is her dad even ill to have posted this? It would be entirely up to her whether she goes or not and she will do what she feels best and no one has any right to comment on that decision .

You're right, but you're wasting your breath.

The Megan haters on the internet are beyond reason. They're in the realm of the cult where everything and nothing is about MM.

She does something, they slag her off, are suspicious of her and make out that she's the worst person ever.🙄 She does something else, they slag her off, are suspicious of her and make out that she's the worst person ever.🤔 She does nothing at all, they slag her off, are suspicious of her and make out that she's the worst person ever.🤯

It's weird and unhealthy.

Very true.

I am just mindboggled.... what a strange thing to even speculate.

He'll lie in state for a week in Westminster Abbey. We can all queue to file past. The Duchy of Cornwall will produce commemorative mugs but they won't be available in the US because of prohibitive tariffs. House of Wesex alternatives will available there.

After a state funeral with full honours, Thomas Markle will be interred on the island at Althorp and we'll all get a bank holiday so we can wave flags, have street parties and remember special UK/ US relationships. Megan will make and sell bunting. Samantha will be made a Dame.

He'll be buried or cremated.

You don't know any of these people @primrosei. You have no fucking idea about their lives. Nevermind their deaths. That haven't happened yet.🤯

WTF is this thread actually about? WTF is wrong with you?

Why??

Would King Charles attend the funeral? His DIL's father.

Obviously if Michael Middletion died, KCIII would be there.

What a dilemma for them.

Neither would I.

She uses people, drips them
And moves on, family/friends/staff etc makes no difference, she won't give a fuck unless she can make money or PR out of it

Jeeezus... a bit unhinged are we? 🤦‍♀️

People don't necessarily owe anything to shitty parents. Not even funeral attendance.

Family relationships are complicated and outsiders looking in have no right to dictate to anyone how they should conduct theirs.

And it's not ok to say to people that "oh they were flawed" or "they tried their best" or "no one's perfect", so they should forgive and move on. Sometimes parents fall short through no particular malice, just because they're flawed people, but ultimately if the harm they're causing is greater than the good in the relationship, then self-preservation kicks in.

No MM fan but a lot of people on here should butt out.
