Thanks for linking the follow-up reaction video
@Osipi. I have to say that I don't think Piers and co-host are being straightforward, and Diana's former employee Paul Burrell is already a former royal insider cast-out. So
whoopee-doo about what they are trying to spin. Emily Andrews is a betwixt and between royal journalist who necessarily is always on the lookout for the next scoop and the reliable or unreliable insider source to help butter her bread and keep her in the business of royal-watching and reporting.
Sure, even I have questioned why someone perhaps wasn't discreetly sent down to Mexico by the royals to assist Mr. Markle long ago. However, I think the sticky wicket which is not being taken into consideration is that we do not know all the ins-and-outs of the Markle family dynamics which clearly goes back many years, as the conflicts and dynamics in all families do. Plus the royals don't tend to become directly involved with a royal wife's dysfunctional family conflicts. What they've done is to support Meghan and to offer assistance to Markle Snr surrounding his wedding participation, and also to request the media to respect his privacy (which the media has clearly ignored).
So that said, it appears to me that Meg from the very beginning of her relationship with Harry must have felt she could not be sure of her Dad's complete loyalty and discretion.
And let's not forget that Samantha was dogging Meghan viciously on Internet sites as soon as she found out Meghan was dating Prince Harry.
Still once Samantha began her whining against Meghan to the media and her behind-the-scenes attacks online, there rose a question as to whether the Markle family were going to be a source of trouble for M&H's relationship. If M&H's relationship had not been solid, and Meghan had not been the bee's knees and the real deal in Harry's eyes, the Markle dysfunction would have been a detriment and a real cause for pushing the 'relationship over and out' alarm button.
And then
let's not forget that Meghan's Dad was minding his own business in Mexico right up until someone (likely a family member) revealed his whereabouts to the paps who had been searching high and low for him for awhile. At that point, Markle Snr likely needed help and guidance. I think KP and BP were leaving it up to Meghan and Harry to deal with interacting with Markle Snr.
