I wonder if that's why C&C landed near KP today - the family might be closing ranks around Meghan in support.

I read C&C just arrived back from overseas, had to get to London and that's where their helicopter pad is. Camilla had an engagement this evening.
But I do hope everyone is being supportive and practical.

Camilla and Charles came back from Greece on Friday.

Meanwhile in another part of the world little children are having explosives strapped to their bodies .... this wedding really isn’t a big deal if you think about it
If he comes or not

If Mr Markle is having heart problems as has been reported I would not leave him to the local hospitals. LA has world class medical facilities with
Cedars-Sinai being one of to top cardiac hospitals in the country. I would simply insist. He should be provided transport asap.

Omid's not exactly shown himself to be a reliable royal reporter, in my opinion. I mean, in the same tweet where he claimed Doria was in London already he also claimed that Tom Sr was enroute to London. He's been proven wrong on both counts.

I haven't seen the 'wednesday' tweet from Rebecca. But I did see where she tweeted a few days ago that Doria wasn't due until this week some time.

I believe the photos of her leaving yoga in LA today more then I do Omid or Emily. If we believed them, both Tom and Doria would have been in London this weekend.

Honestly, Omid is far from being a journalist or rather a royal reporter. At best he is simply another blogger who somehow managed to finagle his way to a trashy rag, er, tabloid job at US magazine.

He is always 99% wrong in his so called "exclusive" scoops.

Back to Mr. Markle as another member said if he is in seriously poor health he should make his way to Ceders Sinai hospital in Los Angeles or a hospital in San Diego instead of relying on local hospitals in Rosarito, Mexico.

I do hope he gets some rest and will recover quickly for his own personal sake and no one else.

Don't worry. Markles do this job instead of Daily Mail.

A reminder to you all about your interaction with one another:

Please be thoughtful in the way that you post and avoid entering into unnecessary arguments or bickering with other members. Be respectful of other member’s points of view particularly when they differ from you own.

Thank you.

There's an old saying that if one person calls you an ass, you can pretty much ignore it. If the general consensus of the people deem you an ass, its time to go out and buy a saddle. With the Markle family we could all make a fortune selling saddle soap.

I think one of the biggest blessings of this wedding is that Meghan is changing her name. Reconciliation after all this mess seems like a pipe dream. I'm just relieved that she doesn't have to go through all this alone.

[Duke of Marmalade]

What a circus, Meghan's family wasn't present at her first wedding and nobody seemed to care, including Meghan herself. Of course marrying Prince Harry is very different, so they try to play happy family when it clearly isn't and we all can see it going down the drain.

[Curryong]

The Markle family are all playing happy families? The way Samantha has behaved for the last two years hasn't given me that impression at all! And yes, she and her brother certainly wanted to impose themselves into a Royal wedding.

I'm certain that Meghan didn't care that her half siblings weren't there at her first wedding. Her mother was, though, and how do we know that Meghan didn't care that her father wasn't present in Jamaica? Has she ever said so?

Incidentally, for what it's worth Morton said that Meghan and Trevor had a short civil ceremony in LA before they had the beach ceremony and celebrations. We don't know if Tom was present at that.

Piers Morgan went after Samantha during a live interview on Good Morning Britain:

It's about time the media called Sam out. And on TV it's much better.

[Osipi]

Isn't it Good Morning Britain where Tom Markle, Jr.'s ex-wife who hasn't seen Meghan in 20 years and mother to the nephews are supposed to be "royal correspondents" for the wedding Saturday? Wonder if they're going to go ahead with these very far flung, once upon a time related to Meghan, people and expect them to be credible?

I seem to keep thinking I've read somewhere in an article posted a long time ago that Samantha did threaten to sabotage this wedding and now, with Piers Morgan calling her out, it just becomes more and more plausible to me that Samantha was behind the scenes directing this horror story.

What's up next? Samantha raging that an uncaring Meghan is going ahead with her wedding as her father lays close to death in the hospital.

[Cocoasneeze]

@Osipi,

Your last sentence is going along the lines I've been thinking, but been reluctant to say. It could be, that she's been offered a substantial amount of money if this wedding gets called off.

Good morning Britain have in fact invited Meghan's ex sister-in-law and nephew, who haven't seen Meghan in decades, as their wedding correspondents. According to Richard Palmer, it's part of the back story. I'm failing to see who's back story.

Delighted with Piers's comments and attitude !

[Madame Verseau]

Good Morning Britain did invite the Dooleys to be wedding correspondents in March on a live show. That was before the geniuses gave an interview to DM about their weed farm. Now that Grandpa and Aunt Sam are embroiled in a major scandal showrunners may have dumped them. The Facebook photos posted by one of the Dooleys show they came on their own dime. I have not seen any recent confirmation they will be on GMB. If they are, Piers Morgan may be on to rip into them as he did Samantha.

The wedding will not be called off because of these troublemakers. Too much time and money has been spent and Meghan and Harry will not cave to them. Let Sam screed about not calling off the wedding because Dad is ill; it will get them nothing.

From Victoria Arbiter:

"I think the Markles need an afternoon in a room with Prince Philip! He’ll set them straight."
