Meghan Markle's father won't attend wedding, needs heart surgery | Daily Mail Online

Ah, the next chapter has started.

Will Meghan rush to her father's bedside?

Will she postpone the wedding to sit vigil by her father's side?

Will H&M cancel their honeymoon, to be with Meghan's poor, almost nearly dying, old dad?

Will heartless Meghan leave her dad to fight for his life, alone in a drafty run-down hospital sharing a room with 14 other patients?

Will dad, before he is wheeled into surgery exclaim: "Don't think about your dad, dear Meghan. Enjoy your wedding. And lest we never see each other again, we shall meet in the afterlife."

See next episode of this riveting soap...

Good grief!

*sigh* He knows that speaking to TMZ is causing all kinds of chaos, so why does he keep doing it?

Having read the new story, I'm so confused. On Monday he said that Sam was the one that caused all of this anguish and triggered his heart attack. Now he's saying it was Thomas Jr's letter.

I want to believe that Thomas is telling the truth about surgery, but I just don't know. If he is having surgery tomorrow, I wish him a speedy recovery.

The palace needs to get a handle on this now. This is overshadowing what should be a big triump for Harry, Meghan and the family and a national celebration.

I agree.

So should the family continue to make a spectacle of themselves (they'll certainly try!) the Monarch, be that QEII, Charles or William may very well decide to step in and simply bar certain family members from attending anything remotely royal, let alone be let in at the palaces or in a more extreme case simply direct H&M to sever the connection to certain family members. - That could also save Meghan in particular considerable embarrassment, because then it's the Monarch, not her, who is cutting them off.

I would not be the slightest bit surprised if a family member is suddenly standing suitcase in hand outside Kensington Palace - with the press being notified of course. If H&M turn that person away or even put them in a hotel, then we have the big soap opera about "cruel, heartless Meghan" turning away her family to let them fend for themselves on the streets, selling matches... Complete with a chorus singing: Bou hou, bou hou...

Except, Meghan has cut everyone in the Markle side other than her father out. And I don't think she's ever going to cut her father out. Hell, Andrew hasn't been made to cut Fergie out. So as long as the royals aren't participating in the events, the monarch is unlikely to step in over something like this. And as annoying as this all is, forcing a woman to cut out her own father from her life (which they don't have daily contact as it is being that they live in two countries) when she doesn't want to can be seen as inhumane and quite cruel.

This made me laugh soooo hard! Didn't Sr work on General Hospital, it sure seems like he's pulled this whole act straight out of the soaps. Anyone still think he's having a panic attack?

[Tarlita]

Yesterday morning I woke up to the news that her father and K.P. announced that he was not going to the wedding due to having a heart attack. I had many thoughts about that mostly feeling sad for Meghan and thinking her Dad has been under a lot of pressure by the press possibly causing bad heart palpitations and chest pains. Now this morning i wake up and the breaking news story is that her father is having heart surgery. Media saying he is having a stent put in to bypass a blocked artery. One of our morning show hosts who is live in London/Windsor spoke to Samantha and he said Samantha live from Florida. I was sure one of the online Media said Samantha and 2 Dooley brothers had already arrived in London. So it's very hard to believe what's correct and what's not.
I do believe Mr Markle has Felt under pressure from the press, photographers and from family members. Your health must always come first and must be attended to.
He can always visit H &M after the wedding as they are not going away on honeymoon right away. Or they may be able to visit him.

I just hope these events don't take the excitement and sparkle too much out of our bride.

I agree.

Not getting the proper advice and guidance about those pitfalls helped cause a lot of this too.

No, but I do believe he is having heart surgery if he can offer the details about what is going to be done. Like we've said before, it can have same symptoms. The reason I didn't think it was a heart attack was because he's not in a hospital and somehow thinks he'd be able to get away with flying to UK? That just boggles my mind, but then again people often come up with things that just lack common sense. He needs to sit his behind down and stay in the hospital.

[Madame Verseau]

I think KP is not going to put out a statement until they verify he's going to the hospital Wednesday. They defended him about the press intrusion and they got burned for it. Trust but verify - Ronald Reagan

Y'know one thing I do expect out of all this? I would bet my last sloppy joe that as Mr. Markle recovers from his surgery, he will receive a very nicely penned "get well message" from no other than HM, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. Perhaps even from Charles and Camilla too.

That is the kind of people they are.

[Marlo]

Doria is on her way to London. I bet she can't wait to give Meghan a big hug.

That would be the decent (and wise) thing to do in any circumstances.

No one would blame dad if he was nervous, who wouldn't be?
If he had quietly mentioned that he would be showered in sympathy by the public and I'm sure he would be helped in every way possible by the court, but all this theatrics and staging? Nah, not much sympathy from me.
Not even if he really is having a surgery. Not for doing his best to ruin his daughter's big day.

Sam threw Sr under the bus by giving the details of his cut of the staged photos: $1500 USD and a small percentage of the photos sales. This is what 30 pieces of silver goes for now. Sam has now turned on their father, and I think it's because Sr told TMZ Sam is the reason for his hospitalization. He blamed the first heart episode on Jr's letter to Harry to call off the wedding.

So its just proves that she brokered the deal and got a cut.

Osipi, I really like it when we agree!

You took the words right out of my mouth! Like get somebody from the UK embassy in Mexico to confirm that Snr is where he says he is!

Tom Jr's 2 sons (the Dooley brothers) and his ex-wife (the boys' mother) are the ones who have arrived in England.

[Madame Verseau]

TMZ is going to be the one to "verify". They'll get a hold of his medical and hospital records to prove or disprove the claim. HIPAA laws be darned.

Samantha is probably not in England because of the cost and liability of bringing her over with her disability. No confirmation from GMB this week that the Dooleys will be on the show.

Thank you for the clarification.

Meghan and Harry deserve to be happy and excited in the lead up to their wedding. We want to see a beaming Bride walk down the aisle.
I just fear there might be so much sadness show on her face unless her Mum can convince her otherwise.

Mexico laws, I don't know--but a healthy fear of termination and losing a medical license might keep medical personnel from blabbing in the US. It's hard to get records without logging into the computer these days and that leaves a trail.

[Zonk]

I can't believe her father has unleashed this s--- storm the week of her wedding!

Does he have a twitter account...I really want to tell him to stop talking to TMZ! If you are having a procedure...talk to your daughter...release a simple statement and go off radar! How hard is that?

And maybe I missed it but did everyone see the Piers Morgan interview with Samantha....

This is very true but I wouldn't put it pass someone to try to pay for such information. It's happened before when medical workers have been fired for violating HIPPA. Not to say all medical processional would do but every profession has a bad egg or two. And paying someone 25, 50 or 100K for information like that. To some its like hitting the lottery!

For our non American friends...HIPPA is a law in the States. Among other things it guarantees that your medical information is private and cannot be shared with anyone other than medical professionals pertaining to your care. I believe hospitals can be fined for violating HIPPA and people have been known to be fined and/or fired for doing so as well. Likewise certain well known persons have had their rights violated and people have lost their jobs for selling information.

We shall see....
