I understood her last stint was underwhelming to say the least ?

How the hell did Harry marry into this family...

Meghan set to host Australia’s Junior Master Chef.

Surely it's not appropriate for M to be working on a children's show while she's talking about csa. I know she's not responsible for anything her father or brother might have done in a different country, but even so....

And are the hamlets to be uprooted again?

M very skilfully made sure he never met any of them other than Doria!

Harry too, wonder will an Aussie kid tell him to f* off

It's not a good idea for HAM to be involved in this project until all the facts are very clear

As we know a number of his family tried to convince him otherwise or at least to take it slower. Even the LQ said, she had to agree to it - that doesn't sound like she was 100% happy about it.

Is this the start of the uncoupling? H stays in the U.K. with the kids and Meg spends weeks and weeks in Australia/Cali?

I think H and Hamlets are part of this deal

Exactly... the Markles make the Windsors look functional & that's saying something!

The grubbiest of grubby spectacles I think I have ever witnessed is Dan Wootton interviewing Lady “Colin” Campbell today. It is quite literally beyond belief, and I would certainly not want to find myself on the side she is so enthusiastically punting. Utterly disgusting. The remarkable thing is watching his usual fawning entourage rally underneath it, apparently oblivious to just how sordid the whole affair looks. I won’t link to it because, frankly, it’s just filth. And now that I’ve flagged it, only the truly culturally debased would be tempted to seek it out.

To be fair the previous person who left and was replaced by Meghans pal was responsible for the perverse campaign! ….however k Kardashian got much criticism but Meghan hardly any so ….🤔🤷‍♀️

Whilst I agree it was a different designer (and one she claimed a friendship with, which he didn't seem to reciprocate), the corporate machine behind Balenciaga signed off on the revolting campaign, and they remained the same throughout. It's the corporate machine she was trying to do a lucrative deal with. I think many people hear that brand name and still to this day just think of those horrible bondage bears and the rest.

Lady Colin is an irrelevant person very few people have heard of. Yes, she talks complete rubbish, but she's fringe. The one the world can't escape from, however hard we may try to block her out, is Meghan Markle. It would be great if both Lady Colin and Meghan could both just bog off.

Oh, please please please!
But on what grounds legally?

In 2021 Meghan claimed damages in the High Court for publishing the infamous "5 friends" letter. A big part of her claim was for pain, suffering and anguish by the DM that their article was the cause of the demise of her relationship with her father. Now she has changed her story to argue she deliberately ended the relationship because of the 2019 letter.

So the question is - way M lying then or lying now?

Jeffrey Archer lied to win a libel case - actually I realise it was against the Daily Star in 1987 relating to an article about him paying for sex. It was later found his statements were untrue and in 2001 he was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice and sentenced to 4 years in prison and served 2 years.

So I was just musing if the 2021 case could be reopened? Probably not -
M only got £1 in damages but the DM had to stump up a fair chunk of her estimated £1+ million legal fees.

So you watched it all and read the comments. Doesn't that make you "culturally debased" then? Why did you seek it out?

Is Thomas Markle Snr a man of means? Doe he have property to leave when he dies? Just wondering if Samantha has a financial motive for staying loyal to her dad. Or perhaps she's signed a NDA previously.

I imagine the cosy markle-ragland 2016 Thanksgiving was entirely engineered (forced) by Meghan as part of the rosy family girl image she was portraying to Harry at the time.

Perhaps Samantha actually believes what she's saying about her father is correct.

Lady C has, several times over the years, claimed that MM approached her to float the idea of Lady C breaking the story that her dad sexually abused her. Lady C said she wouldn't touch that with a bargepole. MM has never sued her.

Lady C has predicted that MM would go with the allegations once her dad was dead. Sordid indeed.

TM Sr is in a nursing home and will presumably have to pay for lawyers. Lady C started a GoFundMe for him. The only thing Samantha may inherit, as far as I can tell, is a lucrative tell all book contract about her dysfunctional family.

I'm pretty sure that Lady C is claiming that TMJ drained the GFM when TMS was in hospital.

Thanks for that. I now understand.

Yes and there was the thanksgiving in Nov 2016 with Doria and Thomas, when she was still secretly dating Harry I think, apparently that was the first time she had seen her father in years and was the very last time time she ever saw him.

It’s like she was trying to fake a happy family for Harry’s benefit.

And yet Harry was going on about the royals as the 'family she never had' later on. Does he have memory problems? Intriguing to imagine how Meghan must have carefully managed the story of her family relationships.

Yes, she is very clear that she believes TMJr appropriated the funds.
