Local papers in the area now have articles about the royals coming to town. They also quoted Rookie's tweet saying the date of the wedding was not disclosed to the public until Rookie tweeted about it.

Niraj Tanna implied on Twitter that a certain prince isn't happy that Rookie tweeted out the date and location.

It’s even more disturbing to have a father talk about his daughter this way.

We actually don't know if other family members other than her mom were at the wedding. The full wedding list hasn't been released. Perhaps there were some family, but they didn't want any publicity or to be mentioned.

Don’t know much about Doria’s Side of the family, but there’s a lot of family problems within the Markle side. Trouble is that some of them decided to go public with their private family issues once it became known that Meghan and Harry was dating. It was just the wrong thing to do. The media courted them and the family courted the media. All that family mess should just stay private and worked out behind closed doors.

Samantha Markle opened up a can of worms that can’t be closed again. It’s something that has snowballed into a real problem.

I just hope Meghan and Harry aren’t letting this stuff bother them and they’re busying themselves by have some good fun and looking forward to the important stuff ahead. The fall is a busy time for them. A new adventure could be coming some time in the new year.

Skimming throughout this thread I see quite a few serial posters hooked on the Markles so here is a Friday treat clip from TV News (like you havent seen it? Right!) enjoy......

Oh but she has. There's granny and grandpa and uncles and aunts and cousins by the dozens and brother and sister. We just know them as the British royal family. They've embraced and taken Meghan under their wing since the very beginning.

Its been rumored but never proven or disproved that there were other members of Meghan's American family at the wedding. With all the discontent making headlines in the media in the run up to the wedding, it would have been the most logical move to have them attend and celebrate with the bride and groom without making it public knowledge and fan the flames even more with the discontents.

Can't you just imagine the vitriol that would have arisen just from Samantha, herself, if she had realized that her own daughter who she doesn't have a relationship with either was at the wedding while Samantha wasn't invited? Sure, it would have been a huge slap in the face to Samantha but Meghan doesn't roll that way and wouldn't stoop to that level.

Would those cereal posters hooked on the Markles by any chance be referred to as Froot Loops?

Hadda do it. Couldn't resist.

Samantha's own mother has been quoted as saying that Sam started to blast Meghan in the media when news first broke about their relationship because she was hoping it would make Harry drop the relationship with Meghan. Sam has been obsessed with her and has been a terrible problem for Meghan for the past 20 years and is always asking her for money. <- all of this is from her mother

The unfortunate truth is some people are just terrible toxic people and unfortunately the situation now is that no matter how much Meghan tries to separate herself from these toxic people for her own well being the family and media is determined to never let her have a break from them.

It doesn't matter what the family problems are it doesn't matter what Meghan's relationship is with her mom or dad's side of the family. All of that is a private matter that unfortunately refuses to be private because the Markles won't shut up to the press and now they are dragging a private citizen who hasn't spoken to the press at all into this matter and are casting doubt about her.

If Carole and Gary were had a very tense and frosty relationship do we as royal watchers really care or want to know? Would it be considered newsworthy? No its their personal family business.

It doesn't matter how messy and complicated Meghan's family are because not everyone is fortunate enough to be born into a nice stable family, it's their willingness to use the press to humiliate, and emotionally abuse her that is the problem.

Well... us cereal posters known as Froot Loops of course are waiting to see what happens next. We *know* the tabloids are milking the cash cows for all they're worth and cereal requires milk to make a healthy meal.

Meghan's best friend of over 20 years lives in London. She very much is family. Glad she has that support outside of the royals there for her.

Samantha launched into attack mode the day the relationship was revealed. The media clung on her words and created this monster. It is eye rolling how they now want to talk down of her (and she is trash!) when they are the reason she stays in the spotlight.

Now they are doing it with Thomas. "He needs to stop" but they flew to Mexico to talk to him for 9 hours. I mean... what?

THIS. It was very clear that Meghan had a huge support system with her in those pews that day even if only Doria shared her DNA. I really enjoyed seeing all their smiles grow behind Meghan as she said her vows.

NOT Harry & Meghan--the Daily Mail reporters.

A man who told the world your daughter has a wilful streak she inherited from you. And a rotten piece of work who came close to suggesting your biracial daughter is uppity. A liar who practically told the world he almost single-handedly raised your daughter for most of her life and that she lived with him right up until she left for college, even though video evidence exists that suggests the contrary. A scammer (who got caught out) and has since told the world you gave your daughter this piece of advice: if they’re not doing anything for you, why should you do anything for them? A rotten man who’s nasty older two children are just like him in character. A man who not only sides & colludes with his eldest daughter, but also blames your daughter for the vile onslaught of constant bullying she continues to endure from that woman for almost two years since her relationship with Harry was revealed. That same vile woman who denigrates you on her twitter page. And like her full blood brother, and dad, shamelessly continue to cash in and bully, disparage your only child. And because unlike that shameless man you are so dignified as a true loving parent who respects your child’s boundaries and refuse to sell her out or tout memories of her childhood and childhood photos to almost any media outlet going simply because she married royalty - that horrid piece of work exploits your silence and decency by trying to airbrush your massive input in raising her as a sound human being.

A man who inadvertently let slip he used to do drugs whilst your daughter was supposedly meant to be under his care.

Yes Doria listen to people and go have a nice chat with that ‘upstanding human being’

TM won’t get anywhere near the Royals after his disgusting displays. What a thoroughly nasty piece of work he is

Hmm, as has been mentioned, I too believe a few relatives definitely crept in under the radar. Who would want to advertise their presence with a family like theirs? The notion that other family members were present at the wedding would surely send the Mad Markles into an ugly mood.

I think Meghan's mother has made a point not staying long to underscore that she is her own woman with her own career and is not expecting the BRF. or more specifically Charles, Harry and Meghan to bankroll her as a lady of leisure in the UK.

Thanks. I had not read about that.

I fully believe that Mr Markle and his two older children are working together, all giving interviews, writing open letters and tweeting in turns to trash Meghan. That story Mr Markle told about Thomas Jr ambushing him with the paparazzi makes no sense. Was Jr there camping at the border waiting for daddy? He had to have had Mr Markle's travel itinerary to know when he'd arrive. Having contact is the means to that, that's all.

But yeah, delusions of grandeur, re Snr somehow needing and getting royal titles.

Yep.

Plus his grotesque sense of entitlement is just staggering.

I’ve also never known a so-called loving father be so disgusting about a daughter. And publicly, too. His constant betrayal and lack of morals is already well established. But his abusive nature is quite another level of vile.

Not surprising really that TM and his much older eldest two offspring from a different marriage are so similar & share odious characteristics.

Pier Morgan thinks Meghan needs to see her father and reconcile with him.

[Cocoasneeze]

This is not a public issue, it should be a private matter, and Piers should have no say in it. Him having a public opinion is one of the reasons Meghan might never want to have a relationship with her father again.

[CTchic]

Morgan is ridiculous and has been doing the rounds defending Snr. He is doing his best to protect his investment. I stand by the fact that he is trying to catch Meghan out by recording a conversation between her and Snr. I hate him Morgan so much just as much as The Markles at this point.
