They did this the last time. I assume they are working in tandem so they can get a phone call recording and ambush Meghan and sell it to the press.

All this hate is exhausting. If it is wearing me down, I wonder how Meghan copes with all this. Not just the awful non family but the intense hatred from the press and their comment session. Why does no one in the press speak out against this amount of emotional abuse. Harry watched his mom go through all this and the press seemingly enjoys making his life hell. If only they went after real evil people with the same way as they go after someone as harmless as Meghan.

This is seriously out of control and won't go away.

If publications like Daily Mail would stop printing these insane ravings and/or people stop clicking on the stories, they will go away.

So it's official this circus will never stop ....

M. Payton · #**724** 07-18-2018, 10:19 AM

No, Nico, this sad drama of wanting to destroy Meghan will not go away ever, not even if Meghan did contact them. I told my sister this would go on forever till one passes away and I honestly believe that. Freedom of speech here will give Sam the one driving this hatred with her jealous rage towards Meghan will continue on........so buckle those seat belts for we are in for a wild ride. I just feel so sorry for Meghan to have to face this on a daily basis and I bet Harry is doing all he can to protect her yet still ............

Freedom of speech only goes so far on social media. You can report vile tweets and those people can have their accounts deleted.

Stargazer · #**726** 07-18-2018, 10:32 AM

I hope it has gotten to the point now where those around Harry and Meghan just do not tell them the latest statements made by these two.

I have never seen this level of envy by anyone before. Does she think Meghan is living the life she should be living? I wonder has she always been this jealous of her?

According to Samantha's mother, ex husband, and half brother, yes she always been jealous of Meghan.

But she doesn'tz have to face that every day. Harry and Meghan have staff who scans the media for them and present only what they know will interest or amuse them. Once Meghan (or Harry) said she doesn't want to read any of this, she doesn't have to. That's the advantage of having a personal assistent.

Why do you think she's made it private?

And daughter. Apparently she's had an unhealthy competition with Meghan since Meghan was born. A LOT of people have younger siblings that are born when the family are in better shape financially, but not many goes this far.

It's interesting that someone like Tom Sykes is in the forefront of journalists defending Meghan and calling her family out for their crap.

As for Tom and Samantha Markle, I'm at the point of whatever.

I've never called Tom names or gone beyond talking about what he's already done to what he could do. That's out of respect for Meghan as this is a situation for her to handle. However, that doesn't mean I condone any of his behavior or see it as ok. I've always been an advocate of living with your consequences. This is his consequence and he must live with it. If he didn't want to be kept out of his daughter's life, he shouldn't have gone behind her back and made things exponentially worse.

As for Samantha, she can live out the rest of her life in hate if she wishes. It doesn't hurt anyone but herself, which I couldn't care less about.

XeniaCasaraghi · #**731** 07-18-2018, 10:57 AM

If I had the power I would call these tabloids out for supporting the emotional abuse of a daughter by her father.
At least this latest posted article acknowledges that speaking to her father is just a scam so he can sell more stories.

I am sure your correct on them not reading this daily yet I wonder if somehow some of this gets on the TV during a commercial when they are watching a movie perhaps, I don't think all of this can be swept under the rug for Meghan's sake by Harry or anyone. She of all people know just what the Markle's are like and that right there tells why she has put years between her and them. I believe she is one very strong intelligent hard working young lady deeply in love with Harry and vice versa here......so they will somehow deal and handle this together.

The radio silence from the legit press is deafening. Here we have patriarchal emotional abuse and yet most of these media outlets continue to harp on unseen protocol abuses or the clothing she wears. They perpetrate the lie that her father's behavior is her fault and that she has brought shame to the family.

Exactly. Meghan probably only gets a summary from her personal assistant or she might not even have to hear any of it. And she certainly doesn't read the comment section of the Daily Mail. So sure, it's disheartening, but I bet it's not a daily smack down of her emotions.

So what, you want them to feed into and legitimize Sr.’s selfishness by giving him more spotlight?

Interesting like-father-like-son turn in the Elle article that was linked farther upthread:

“On Sunday, the American also ordered his family to stop criticising his daughter while he tries to mend their relationship.
”‘I have already expressed a message and that is for them all to shut up,’ he told the Sun. Speaking of his estranged son, Thomas Markle Jr, Meghan’s father added: ‘Tom ambushed me a couple of days ago. It wasn’t a reunion I had planned.

“‘He followed me to an ATM and came up to me saying: “You are a hard man to find”. I said I had nothing to say to him. He kept babbling on.

‘“‘I said are you here with the press and he said no. Then photographs appear in a newspaper.’”.

Calling out abuse is not legitimizing him. Again legit press are already copying and pasting his comments for laughs and giggles. They are already legitimizing him by only spreading his words without critique or questioning. So YES legit press could do more other than copy/pasting clickbait.

I really feel for Harry in this situation. I believe the majority of husbands want to protect wives and want to "defend their honor". I imagine Harry would love to ring Thomas, Sr up and give him a piece of his mind, but he can't. I can't imagine how helpless he feels in that he cannot defend Meghan in the way he wants.

Meghan's family make me nauseous. It is too bad that some kind of lawsuit cannot be brought against the American media who are perpetuating these stories. I just do not understand (and I am not naive) why hate and outright lies have to be told to sell newspapers or whatever. Does it make them feel good, can they sleep at night knowing they are deliberately hurting someone? Ellen DeGeneres is right when she says "be kind to one another".

I just hope that Meghan and Harry can live their lives their way and yes I agree that Meghan is a strong woman and there were obviously reasons why she kept her distance from her family all these years. Interesting that their are no stories about her mother, who has been the epitome of grace during this.

ACO · #**739** 07-18-2018, 12:19 PM

I don't believe any source close to Meghan talking to the Daily Mail but I will give Samantha and Thomas until the end of the day to react to it. Clever bait Daily Mail.

This is such a mess and I agree with duchessrachel that I feel awful for Meghan and Harry. I am sure they both feel incredibly helpless because they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

**Zonk** · #**740** 07-18-2018, 12:20 PM

I think Meghan knows what she is dealing with....that's why she hasn't spoken to Sam in 10 years.

The question I would ask of Samantha is....has she spoken to her mother or any of her children in the last year?

And again, where was Father Markle when Tom and Samantha were trying to do their best to denigrate Meghan's character?

I agree with Muhler's assessment that the people who will believe the claims made by Samantha, Thomas Jr., are those who don't like Meghan.

Yes, the comments are just a small sampling of public opinion but the more these people talk, the worst it looks for them.

And yikes...Thomas Jr., is at it again. Wrote a letter to the Queen asking her to protect Meghan.

These people.
