...Meanwhile, his daughter's coat of arms is published and Mr Thomas Markle, ostensible head of the house, did not receive one.
One thing for sure, with this family from hell, the next European royalty will think really hard and twice before marrying another american unless their backgrounds are fully vetted. Who would want this kind of mess in their lives?
Long before the wedding, it was obvious that Mr Thomas Markle would not receive a coat of arms and it was by his family own doing (Samantha and Tom Jr)
If he had received a coat of arms, all his kids would have been entitled legally to use it.
Can you imagine Thomas Markle Junior affixing the coat of arms of the Duchess of Sussex onto the packages of his marijuana business as marketing ploy?
Why should Samantha have the right to use a coat of arms after having spent 2 years trying to destroy the relationship of Meghan, with a lot of racist undertones, attacking Doria in her twitter posts, and trying her best to make sure the mariage do not happen. And now afterward she get to use and benefit from the coat of arms,
Sorry but the was never going to happen

Modest homes?!?
Apart from the flat above the garage, there is plenty of room in those homes.
Its days like this when Prince Charles, Andrew, Edward and William and even Princess Anne need to be thankful for their in- laws
Too bad that Tom Sr. seems to have forgotten that Al was a fictional character.?Y'know, sometimes I wonder if perhaps Thomas Markle, Sr. spent too much time around the set of "Married With Children". He most certainly seems to have adopted the characteristics of Al Bundy.
"He (Al Bundy) is a misanthropic, working-class father of two, portrayed as a somewhat tragicomedic figure."
As an American I must say I agree; the way the Markles have behaved has given Americans a bad name and has made more people think negatively of us and those people didn't have a high opinion anyway.One thing for sure, with this family from hell, the next European royalty will think really hard and twice before marrying another american unless their backgrounds are fully vetted.

What is different about this one that doesn't support tabloids
I still find it interesting that we have no pics of Meghan and her dad after high school? College maybe? Thomas is obviously giving the media pics now (another betrayal) but doesn't have anything more recent?
As I have said before, despite his IMO obvious issues, Meghan loved her father and trusted him enough at one point to want him in her wedding, to have supposedly told him about Harry before it was public knowledge, etc. I can fully believe that he was perhaps a supportive dad because Meghan has written as much, but that he is also a deeply troubled man. I think the reporting that she often "mothered" him and that he was very emotionally dependent on her is also true too. So I think its complicated. This relationship goes much deeper than her relationship with her sister and I think it pains her more to have it fall apart. I mean I thought there were red flags with her dad when we heard Harry had not met him yet in the engagement interview, but he had also kept a respectful silence for two years before the pre-wedding blow up.
It just doesn't add up but I hope for Meghan's sake that she finds peace. If that means reconciling, so be it. If that means never speaking again, so be it. Either way, this all is just very sad.
I think Meghan let Tom in on the secret of her and Harry's relationship as an attempt to reconcile and also an exercise in trust. As soon as Meghan knew the relationship was serious she knew they would have a traditional wedding and not inviting her living father would be unacceptable as no one knew the truth of the relationship between them. (Imagine the drama if she hadn't invited her father and all the Markles including Tom sr. spoke out)
I do think Meghan admires and loves her father but always kept him at a distance. So my theory is that Meghan has actually been trying to work on Tom sr. since the time she knew the relationship was serious. She kept her father in the loop about the relationship, Harry and Tom sr. spoken a few times and Tom did his part and to prove to her he could handle this responsibility and valued their (father-daughter) relationship by keeping the secret and not speaking to anyone about it.
If you have a dysfunctional parent you know they have a tendency to screw things up last minute, blame someone else and make themselves the victim. This sort of trust exercise fails more often than not because regardless of the situation in the end it comes down to the person at the center of it.
They themselves are always the ones who cause the problem then blame everyone else who actually have to deal with the consequences.
