Thomas markle

[Thomasina79]

Meghans dad has had two strokes and a heart attack. He is 80 so probable does not have much time left. It shows Meghan in a very poor light (again) as she has not contacted him at all so the chances of a reconciliation are slim. He has never seen his grandchildren. Whatever you think of Meghan and I don t particularly like her, I think this very sad and she may regret it. How hard is it to make a phone call?

The problem with Meghan and her relationship with her relatives is the same issue as nearly everything that surrounds the Sussex couple - so many different stories, different versions, odd PR type moves. It's hard to know which versions are the truth.

As a PP said - were all those loving stories about her father on her blog and IG a fantasy, a PR move to portray a certain image? Why didn't they make the effort for Harry to meet her father at any point before the engagement, before the wedding? It's not as though they lacked the funds to fly to him or fly him wherever they wanted.

Why didn't she invite any of her non problematic relatives (ie not Sam and Tom Jr) to the wedding?

Why did she send a letter - that had been worked on by palace staff with her - to her father pleading with him to stop talking to the press and let her live in peace and then when six months later he had done exactly that, give permission for her five friends to talk to People magazine about the letter and how Meghan had been trying to reach out to Thomas to no avail.

It's all so messy.

Maybe she had to go no with her dad to stay away from her awful siblings (step?)
didn’t one of them write to harry and tell him not to marry her?
then there’s the step sister who I seem to remember said awful stuff about her. Maybe her dad didn’t support her when they did that, maybe she wasn’t happy when he tried to blackmail her🙀can’t say I blame her.

I thought they were half siblings. Where are all the step kids coming from?

Yes I think they are half siblings too. Thomas' son And daughter from his first wife (Doria was the second).

Agree with this. Sometimes it's the siblings that cause the issue.

My mistake , I couldn’t remember if they were step or half.

Why would you think they were step siblings when they clearly share the same father?

In any case, all the Markle children are fucking awful, including Meghan. I don't blame her for wanting nothing to do with them, but she's no better than they are. As for her father: who knows. His own son accused him of some unsavory habits on trips to SE Asia in the early days of their media blabber mouthing, before reversing the narrative to make him father of the century. His youngest daughter used to be gushing about him, but cut him off for something pretty trivial in the great scheme of things (the pap shots before the wedding). And then he's gone on to say some bloody awful things, including claiming he's now part of the RF and they owe him. And Samantha's is just a chancer and a rentagob with a massive chip on her shoulder. Awful, the lot of them.

I already said I made a mistake

I guess pushing a step sibling narrative goes with Meghan's desire to be seen as an only child.

Hers dad's behaviour smacked of narrasicm around the time of the wedding and the subsequent vying for attention of Megan's siblings also leads me to believe he's a narcissist who has played his dc off one another.

Anyone sane would have backed off and let her have her moment and backed off.

I always wondered why no one came over with Doria, or was it for the visuals of a woman sitting all alone, who happened to be black. It was very odd, I can think of at least six people who would have jumped at the chance of an all expenses paid trip and being part of a royal wedding. I’d have done it!

maybe Doria was happy on her own.

I got the impression from the tv documentary that was in shown on uk that TM was a very mercenary figure indeed. His last words in the film were something like, “she owes me” or words to that effect, “it’s my turn now”. Seriously, what loving parent ever says that of their adult child?

I think Piers Morgan and others exaggerated the sympathy “poor fragile old neglected father ” schtick because it was yet another way for him to get at Meghan.

TM may well be old and ill now but sadly being those things doesn’t always make a person less malicious.

Yes, he's a very unpleasant person. I am always amazed at how syrupy her devotion to him was on The Tig. Perhaps she was just playing a part.

I agree with you. Had she no pals or relatives to accompany her.
Odd.

He said something like ' Time to look after daddy' in an interview. He's clearly not a pleasant person .

She’s clearly got a very loose relationship with the truth. Apparently her and Harry are in a ‘honeymoon phase’ according to her , yet he has never looked more miserable and acted in such bizarre and disturbed ways that at the moment. She just makes up a version of reality which suits her agenda at the time.

Feckin disastrous honeymoon.

give permission for her five friends to talk to People magazine about the letter

Do we know who these 5 friends are - and if any of these friendships survived the courtcase which exposed MM dupicity and exploitation of these 5 friends?

No - there was a possibility that their names would be revealed during the court case but Meghan’s lawyer argued that it would being unfair exposure to these ‘young mothers’ and the judge accepted the argument.

At times I have wondered if there actually were ever friends involved. I suspect it just might have been Meghan acting alone.

Difficult to prove either way if there aren't any names - an interesting idea though

I would have thought one of them would have been Jessica Mulroney, as they were very tight over the engagement/wedding period, but are no longer friends. She would have some stories to tell!

Weren’t 3 of Jessica Mulroney’s children in the Harry / Meghan bridal party ?
Definitely has all the gossip.

Yes - her twins were pageboys and her DD was a bridesmaid, the one that Meghan allegedly compared Charlotte with - unfavourably.
