The Duchess of Sussex: Family and Background

[CTchic]

Btw none of those women from the talk defended Meghan bar Sheryl Underwood who called Snr an abuser. Lisa Chen must be glad the heat is not on her anymore for caping an alleged toxic man.

The only thing I like is how betrayed Piers appears that Meghan obviously has believed Harry about just what kind of person Piers Morgan is. I hope he dreams at night that he is the new "Richard Kay" to Meghan and then wakes up realising that Meghan is just too smart of fall for that ugly trap.

Piers is gross. He is being petty because Meghan had the foresight to see the conflict w/having him being a 'friend' [being generous] and closed ranks when she got serious w/Harry. Meghan owed him nothing and his continued axe grinding and slander is disturbing.

And pulling the Diana card?

It amazes me, even after the truly dastardly things Piers did at NOTW/ Daily Mirror, that he is allowed to be an anchor for GMB and people listen to him.

[CTchic]

Yeah how in the name of God does he have a career? I blame America for revitalising his career as he was a judge on America's Got Talent and then he had a CNN show.

[CTchic]

Samantha Markle/ Yvonne Markle is sick in the head. She gives the Daily Star an interview about how she is shunning Meghan on her birthday and then goes and tweets a sarcastic birthday tweet to Meghan by atting Kensington Palace.

Did anyone catch her quoting Morton's book regarding Trevor? She really in scraping the barrel and Dan Wootton (gossip shill of The Sun) is really taking all this as gospel. Idiots!

Meghan is head & shoulders above Morgan in all aspects of decency. He hasn’t a jot of credibility and our British military know only too well what a hideous person he is when as editor of the Mirror newspaper he tried to frame our soldiers with doctored/false images. He deservedly got the sack. Him doing the rounds of American tv shows to peddle his support for TM whilst desperately trying to undermine Meghan (the victim) shouldn’t come as a surprise.

I just read Sams tweet about the newly weds taking A Step Back away from public life.
It is amazing how people and the media can twist things to suit their own narrative.
Now as I understand it summer has hit hard in the UK and elsewhere. Many take their holidays at this time.
What could make more good sense then to take your new bride to the refreshing clean Cool mountain air of the Balmoral estate. And dip your little tootsies into clear sparkling mountain streams. I did read somewhere that this is where they are going soon. And I believe Meghan hasn't been there before.
Makes perfect sense to me. A great getaway spot with thousands of acres to explore away from the oppresive heat.
I hope Meghan enjoys her birthday at the Straubanzee wedding.

Once again, a whole lot of angry words delivered with gusts of hot air that evaporate as soon as they're uttered. For all its worth, Samantha could be standing in front of the Statue of Liberty and moaning and groaning about the green patina that covers Lady Liberty.

For the most part, I'm seeing Sam's words as a reflection of herself. She's not doing her father any good. Sam probably has enough guilt about familial relationships to keep a squad of therapists busy for the next decade. She's calling out for Meghan to do what she should be doing herself and "passing the buck". What a boatload of misery this woman must be living with.

Meghan, meanwhile, will be having a wonderful weekend celebrating her birthday with people that matter and attending another celebration of marriage at Charlie's wedding.

The thing that is really annoying people like the Markles and Piers Morgan is the blatant fact that they're so easily ignored by their target. They cannot and will not get a rise out of Meghan no matter how much noise they make. Then again, its summertime and that's prime season for all kinds of pesky insects buzzing about.

Thomas is full of it and is mentally unstable.

No doubt there’ll be more untruths to come from that ridiculous man

[Madame Verseau]

Sam went to Twitter to attack Meghan on her birthday, screeching that Meghan should take the time to send Dad a belated birthday card. This harangue about the card from both Sam and Dad, I wonder if there is some deal in place with a tabloid - get the card and get a big payout and the tabloid is backing out of the deal because there is no card? They act like their lives depend on the card. Also, the tag team attacks by them is only garnering sympathy for Meghan from the majority of people.

Daily Mail is writing Celebrity Big Brother is teasing the show:

Celebrity Big Brother teases 'liars' and 'frauds' in 'final' series teaser | Daily Mail Online

The teaser is about the contestants being the liars and frauds. I can't see Sam going on the show with her own life and actions being dissected on national tv.

[Osipi]

I've always seen an appearance on CBB by Sam as being something that would totally turn against her and send her into a major meltdown. Taking a quick glance at the potential participants in "The Eye Of The Storm" session, it makes Samantha look like really small potatoes compared to the other rumored "notorious VIPs" who may be in the house. Samantha up against Stormy Daniels? Who cares? Anyone appearing in that show will be after the money and won't mind degrading themselves.

Now, I am expecting a whole new slew of bleating and mooing and cackling from the Markle barnyard. Meghan is, once again, showing up in the papers as a very happy, very well dressed and very well liked young woman enjoying her life. This has got to be the best response Meghan could give her detractors. It sends them into a tizzy.

[Osipi]

The Mrs. McNasty (my mean alter ego) side of me wants to picture Harry and Meghan snuggled up on the couch with popcorn and champagne (eww.. what a combo. Better make that Coke) and laughing their heads off as Samantha gets smacked down royally (pun intended) by each and every other one in the house and goes into total meltdown that will live on forever on YouTube. Sam would either then walk out of the house and forfeit her "earnings" or stay till the end and take the abuse meted out in bucketfuls. Now I can put Mrs. McNasty back to sleep again. She's said her piece.

I seriously though don't believe that Samantha is going to make the cut though on CBB. She's small potatoes compared to the others I've seen listed and the others are much more well known than Sam is. All Sam has to her "fame" is her hatred for Meghan and that's hardly shocking anymore to say the least.

Harry and Meghan really don't have to do a darn thing. The Markles are doing it to themselves all by themselves.

[Madame Verseau]

There's a question about Sam's past. Why is her last name Grant? Her children's last names are Hale and Rassmussen. Also Dad and Sam's mom got married in 1964, the same year Sam was born. What's that about?

[W.Y.CII]

I think so far quite a lot of people realize how ridiculous the Markles are and take what they said/did as jokes. H&M don't even need to respond/react to it, what they have to do is just to stay away from these negative vibes.

To be brunt, I don't care about Samantha's past. From all I've seen its a total mess and has never really been self fulfilling for her but that's not my problem nor my interest.

Ut oh.... Mrs. McNasty refuses to stay asleep today. She ventures that if Samantha was *her* mother, she'd change her name too. It very well could be that Samantha gave up all parental rights and the child was adopted by the grandmother or whomever raised them.

[Madame Verseau]

If Sam goes on CBB, I wonder if the showrunners did a deep dive into her past, learn more about the custody situation and throw that in Sam's face? The show will not get viewers with the wash, rinse, repeat attacks by Sam; they need something new.

I believe there was a third marriage, and that was her married name that she kept.

When you think about it, the producers are not going to want their show to be a full fledged attack on a member of the royal family. They would fear the circling of the best legal eagles circling around their heads. I believe Sam already knows this as she has stated that she would *not* talk about Meghan on CBB at all.

What else would be the draw than to smack down Samantha for the person she is? I'm sure the producers and the directors of the show are doing their homework on Sam along with every possible participant that would be with her. The goal of the entire thing is to be the last man standing in the house and they all want the ammunition against their rivals to ensure they get eliminated by either walking out on their own or get voted out by the watching public. If this is the case, I think that if Samantha can take what she dishes out, the public that actually watch the show will vote to keep her on as people do take pleasure in seeing justice done to bad people.

What do I know anyways? That is just my take on it. I've never watched the show and won't watch the show and all I know is from what I've gleaned about it since Samantha was listed as a possible participant.

Tom Snr and Roslyn Loveless got married in 1964 when they were only 20 and nearly 19 respectively. They had met at a University campus party in Chicago the previous year. I think the marriage lasted for just over a decade.

[ACO]

Samantha ranting how she will ignore a woman who is ignoring her. Okay girl. Meghan out here living her life. Samantha stays obsessed. If she she only put in half that energy toward her own kids.
