A remark that says more about Mr Markle, than about Harry IMO.. Why would he EVEN think that a possibility about someone he doesn't know and seems not to have yet met [unless it's in his own repertoire] ???
I’ve actually known a few parents (not my own) that has flat out stated because that’s their one thing whereas otherwise they keep very open mind and stay out of their children’s love life.
As for the rest of that interview. The topics of trump and Brexit might make people slightly uncomfortable, but Harry handled it like his training would teach him. Not offer any personal view but live with what’s already decided and get on with it.
As for the rest of this situation, Thomas Markle needs to develop a thick skin about what the press say and get over himself. He seems to have difficulty that. I understand that he’s frustrated and him following the advice of don’t speak to the press didn’t make them go away when he did exactly that when he was found last November. But he needs to understand this isn’t going to do it either. I suppose some people will just have to learn the hard way.
I’m not going to speculate about Meghan’s relationship with her father as she seems to be able to forgive a lot more than me and I’m not talking about going to the press. Had my father pulled the stunt that he did before right before my wedding, I would’ve handled it a lot worse than Meghan even taking out the media piece. I have no qualms about cutting out people who can’t their their crap together and seems to not think through the consequences of their actions, or just react to things rather than have control over how they handle things in life. She seems to love and care for her father probably because of what he has done for her when she was younger. However, he needs to realize how much he is failing her now and how much he is hurting her because he’s pride is a little hurt over what strangers are saying even if he feels it’s unfair. Don’t go into that back and forth with the press, no one ever wins other than them.
I realize this might be a new world for Thomas Markle unlike anything he’s seen in the first 70 years of his life. But he needs to come to terms with the fact that this is his new normal. It’s unfair, but it’s not going to change.
Can't disagree there.
The one that comes out looking ugly here is Harry (and Thomas for obvious reasons) to be quite honest. Giving Trump a chance? Oh honey, that is about the dumbest thing you can say. If he really did say that, f*ck you forever. It's cute giving Trump a chance when you are not affected by his actions one bit.
Harry did whatever his training taught him, which is to remain neutral on politics despite what their personal hope for the result would be on specific issues or policies. Once it’s decided, the royals DO support the work the politicians needs them to do. What do we think all the soft diplomacy tour is about or rolling out the BRF at CHOGM. They don’t discuss policies, but they are certainly there to make things easier for those that do discuss them. Members of the BRF didn’t take an opinion on if Brexit should or shouldn’t happen. But once it did happen, they are working to support the government on their transition during this time.
