Meghan Markle: Family and Background - November 2017-May 2018

[ACO]

If we know he is walking around Windsor then the BRF are very aware. I am not worried for her safety. They not getting anywhere near her. It is just the fact that these people are there. The fact that Snr and Samantha are playing games with TMZ. Every single one of them are trying to hurt Meghan.

She has probably dealt with this crap her entire life but nothing like dealing with it on a global stage. But their plan won't work. People can clearly see what they are doing. And her real loved ones will rally behind her and the BRF will support her. The Markles think they are more powerful than they are.

I'm sure the police and security are watching any rogue relatives.

That's what our news is saying.

If I have this straight:

So Thomas Sr gets TMZ attention with his surgery.

Then Thomas Jr gets the attention of a British tabloid by taking a mini-vacay to the UK so he can be interviewed, world-class Person of Importance that he is.

And we are surprised that Sam claims injuries by being chased by paps? And hospitalization?

No, we're not and I suspect no one else is either. Predictable and worse for them....boring.

I really hope Thomas Sr is not really sick and is in UK. So the British press, TMZ, and Samantha will look so stupid. I meant KP haven't said anything about it for two days.

Truer words were never spoken.

I think Kensington Palace is operating under the old Plan...ignore the beast. They tried to comment before and look what happened...they got outplayed by TMZ. If they state that they asked the Markles not to speak with the press it becomes a he said she said kind of thing. Don't say anything.

What they need to do is have Meghan call her father to check on him and ask him to stop speaking with TMZ. If he need to get in contact with her he can call her or her assistant. And arrange a time for him to come to England when he is in better health to meet Harry and his family.

There is no controlling Samantha and/or Thomas Jr. As evidenced by Samantha's rant that she will not be silenced and Thomas Jr's. flip flop...I hate Meghan I love Meghan saga. That horse has already left the stable. At this point, while its embarrassing for Meghan, everything they say and do reflect them.

[ACO]

I find it telling that KP has started tweeting out sweet videos related to the wedding. I get the feeling they have discovered a lot of what is going on is BS and keeping it moving. They will not comment because... what is the point? Focus on what is important.

These Markles can make their own bed.

[CTchic]

Ok o am going to be extremely blunt about the Markles.

I don't think Snr had a heart attack rather he us so ashamed for being caught out selling out his daughter and why he is ignoring her and KP but speaking to TMZ 😠 . He did not want face Harry and the BRF who would have confronted him about this because the man is weak minded and spineless.

I don't think Yvonne broke ankle. Where is the police or hospital report? She wanted to ruin Meghan's day because she is a soulless vindictive b!+ch who wanted Meghan's life because she is entitled to it in her sick mind.

The UK press gave Yvonne and Jnr platforms to spew their hatred, mistruths and utter lunacy in the name headlines and a way of shaming Meghan who has nothing to do with these people except her dad. The press are blaming UP for this but they need to look in the mirror and see the misery they have caused to Meghan and to of course Harry.

They make me sick!

There would be cheers all round.
I'm predicting her siblings attending and being pleasant.

I'm a big softie for a happy ending.
I really hope that this drama results in all cobwebs out of the cupboard and some sort of civil, collywobble free, Markle reunion.

Sr will not attend the wedding--he is either too ill after surgery or would have to admit he made his heart problems up, so not happening either way.

Her siblings will NEVER be pleasant and will NOT attend the wedding.

Hopefully a happy life together will be Meghan and Harry's happy ending. No Markle family reunion EVER.

Although I think KP officials didn’t handle some things well. I firmly believe that Samantha Markle did a lot of this on purpose, especially in the week leading up to the wedding. Old family feuds playing out in public to hurt Meghan and gain some $$$.

Now Sam is using the surgery to basically paint Meghan and KP as heartless and imply that Tom is scared and all alone. KP refused to comment, but they really need to put out a statement and shut down all of the nonsense coming from the Markle's. I honestly don't understand why KP is letting them control the story. They are desperately trying to ruin her wedding day and KP needs to come out and tell these people to shut it.

Valentine Low said on Twitter that Tom Markle is not home according to a local reporter he spoke to. They’ve been waiting outside of his house.

Ghastly family.

This quote from Tom Jr, "It’ll be a great day, and if Dad is OK and doesn’t need me, I’ll be able to say I was there the day she got married" to me sounds like he is saying he's hoping to be asked to walk her down the aisle. Jr is in London; Sr. is in a hospital in North America. What would Sr. need him for that can only be done in London - only to fulfill the role of escort. Oh my gosh, I can't believe he really believes Meghan will learn he is in town and ask him to step in. He's grasping at the thinnest of straws.

While I don’t agree with what he did, no one from the BRF will confront him, especially not Harry. For the simple reason that Meghan wants him there.

I don’t think he’s saying that. He’s just saying he’s there for the day, even if he’s not in there as a guest.

TMZ.
I don't accept responsibility for them, but TMZ makes me ashamed to be American.

For those of you who have never seen their show, it's just stinks. About 30 of their stringers stand around office cubicles and pitch stories they have dug up to one another. They all smile at and pander to the boss.

And what they share is almost always meaningless crap that throws the first stone. For their living, they have to pitch stories that make other people look bad. Prurient tab garbage that may or may not be true, but that is not interesting, either way.

It just makes me sad.

This would be too good to be true. But I kinda had the same thought and wish.

I need Saturday to hurry up and get here.

I am so glad to see someone else who thinks this way for I have been saying along that Sr is not in a hospital with heart problems.....I know these type of heart problems and you do not call tabloids from your hospital bed before or after surgery, you are out of it period! I have said before I want solid PROOF AND EVIDENCE that he is in a hospital so TMZ who keeps us informed is not informing us of his whereabouts at all. Yes I am very very skeptical of this man and his daughter and son...

Sam will use and do *anything* to drawl all the attention onto herself and has been since day 1 of her bashing Meghan.....it is getting worse each day, more threatening and dangerous IMHO and with her brother over there now......gads is anyone at KP or the police aware of this? I can't believe this is happening to Meghan all because of a jealous half sister whom she had not had anything to do with for years all because Sam is seeking attention and money for herself.......how many hours to the wedding?

This has actually been kind of triggering to watch unfold because I have only in the past two years been able to get this person out of my life, but have no doubt they will find a way to corrupt any happiness at some point in the future.

Me too, Zaira. Your story sounds very similar to mine. I'm gaining new respect for Meghan that I didn't have before.

I would have told Samantha-----"and where have YOU and Junior been regarding your father in the hospital? Whay have you not tried to contact him and find out where he is so you can go visit and support him? What are you doing the UK? Meghan and Harry and KP have made it abundantly clear you two are not invited to the wedding!!!!!!!!!!! Your first concern should be your dad! Take care of him and support him! Let Meghan have her day!

OT but...there is NO truth to the story that Queen Mary called Prince Philip's family "carpetbaggers and parvenus." In fact, she and Philip's grandmother Victoria Milford Haven were close friends and she was very pleased by her granddaughter's marriage to Philip.
