We could only hope, but I just think he's building up another bull crap rant/hissy fit.

The BRF can’t possibly be so stupid to think a meeting with Tom is a good idea. It only feeds the fire. And, there’s no way he wouldn’t have a recording device on him.

Maybe the Royal family just have to hold firm ignore the markle family and any rubbish they do. Then we can just forget them ...move along nothing to see.

[Osipi]

I think there will be a point where when the Markles are talked about in the media, it won't be something that we'll deem worthy of even talking about.

Its my belief that the media (even the most sensational of them) are grasping at straws now to keep the angle of the Markle family as bait for clicks. There's nothing new on these people really *as it pertains to Meghan* so to me, it looks like Meghan (and those behind her) by keeping totally silent are doing the best thing.

[AlowVera]

Now that Harry and Meghan are on summer break. That family does not have anything to latch onto and piggyback onto or worm their way into the narrative. Without Meghan being in the news, the half sisters rants have no relevance.

Regarding the father he clearly makes bad choices when it comes to his finances and his friends. You just can't control or bail out an adult who continues to make bad decisions. I hope they can come up with a strategic solution this problem but it won't be easy given how ego driven and problematic Sr. is. Even if they establish diplomatic contact he will ruin it. Even if they are judicious in what they tell him, the fact that he has contact means scoundrels like P. Morgan can goad him into making possibly false claims.

This exactly. I have been in a similar-ish situation as Meghan and as long as there is a contact, the other part can claim pretty much anything outrageous. You can, of course, deny it but it'll be word against word unless the whole meeting/phone call is recorded. And even if that was the case, the other part can still claim that the recording was edited and what not.

The only way is to have no contact at all if you want to be sure that the other part cannot twist and change your words or straight out lie.

It seems to be kicking off for Samantha next week on Big Brother.....
Who is Samantha Markle? Meghan's outspoken half sister 'lined up for Celebrity Big Brother'

Another story regurgitating things that have been repeated many, many times. We only have rumors that Samantha is tagged to be in the house when CBB premiers on August 16th.

I'm not holding my breath on this one.

[Dalriada]

Previous: but Samantha is saying strange things now like “not going to be discussing Meghan” ....
“ However, Samantha appears to have confirmed she is in the new CBB line-up during a recent interview.

Speaking to Inside Edition, she admitted she is open to any opportunities - but wouldn't be discussing her sister.

When asked if she was going on Celebrity Big Brother , Sam grinned and said: "Why not. Life is about cashing in, you… take opportunities as they arise and hopefully you enjoy the ride.

"And you can make it as positive as you can, there’s nothing wrong with it. The purpose of that show would not be to discuss [Meghan].”

It seems there are more rumored houseguests than available slots for this season. Does CBB keep the list secret (or, well, unconfirmed at least?) until the premiere?

[AlowVera]

I really hope that KP enlists the help of a mental health professional and a third party mediator. Meghan as the child should not have to deal with this person alone and without proper support and counsel.

The UK media really missed the boat, they thought they had a typical story of poor old dad and it turns out Meghan has possibly dealt with this behavior for all her life. The fact that they would use and weaponize this type of behavior is cruel and no one deserves this kind of treatment.

Many years the full line up isn't revealed until the premiere. They throw around names to draw attention, but nothing is ever confirmed until then.
I don't believe she's going, though

[Osipi]

She very well may not be in the lineup at all. From what she's said that we've seen again in Dalriada's post, she never says she is confirmed to be on CBB and in fact at one point said "I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you" (jokingly).

Just the fact that she may be slated to be on the show and has been rumored to be for quite a while now would stop if she came right out and said "No. I am not participating at all." What she's doing is letting a rumor persist until August 16th when the show premiers. This is giving her wiggle room to stay in the forefront of something. She may have known a month ago she didn't make the cut but why kill a goose that's laying golden eggs for her?

This is how her mind works. She needs to stay relevant to something to keep raking in those green dollars. Meghan sure isn't doing anything for her to criticize at all.

[Cocoasneeze]

She's the one starting the rumour mill by telling Wendy Williams that she's going in. Then she started to playing coy.

Daily Mail cooked up a new story

Meghan Markle isn't falling for her father's 'crocodile tears' | Daily Mail Online

The dead giveaway was "blathering". Not many Americans would use that would use that word. Blabbing, snitching, spilling tea - those are American terms.

I liked Wendy Williams before her war on Meghan but not anymore, nown that she has given Sam a platform. Sam is trying to drag Meghan's ex Trevor to stay in the news. Meanwhile Meghan and Harry are chilling at Balmoral for a few days. I wonder what a royal barbecue is like.

[AlowVera]

Right no American says blathering......trying to prop up their fake news story now that no one cares anymore.

[Osipi]

Personally when it comes to the tabloids and the Markle e(strange)d family, I prefer the word "bleating".

They're so pathetic, they're baaaaaaaaaaaaad.

[Madame Verseau]

The tabloids are really getting creative about the Markles:

https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2...-prince-harry/

They are starting to go for ick factor on Dad. Friends with a drag queen named Rachel, Meghan's first name? Jr is a crossdresser?..Throw in the DM story calling Dad a narcissist because Meghan is ignoring him and the press is turning on them.

[Princess of Durham]

Not that I credit the DM story but just sayin' this American says "blathering" very frequently.

I’ve been known to complain about blathering idiots and those fellow Californians I’ve complained to seemed to get my drift :)
