The Duchess of Sussex: Family and Background
In the last few months, the Family and Background thread has been shut down numerous times due to in-fighting, gossip/speculation and off-topic discussions, so the moderators would like to lay out a few ground rules for the thread.

This is a nice story to share:
Meghan Markle's ancestors: cross-dressing Jazz Age great and baseball player who faced Babe Ruth | Daily Mail Online DM ran this.before but I wish this was given more prominence. Meghan has a family history to be proud of, and not solely defined by the Markles. |
What a cool story! Thanks for posting it.

Well that answers that. Charles and Camilla arrived today for a 2 day visit. Guess we’ll see if the rumors pan out for Harry and Meghan next month.
Also Oprah talks about spending time with Doria. They is no interview. She said it out of her own mouth. If that isn't good enough for some then nothing will convince you. https://www.etonline.com/oprah-winfr...mpression=true |

Thomas Markle Snr is currently on Good Morning Britain talking to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid.
Piers is asking questions about pregnancy rumours, Thomas' personal life, whether Thomas has met other members of the RF. Thomas is quite obviously very nervous, whether he has chosen to do this or someone has forced him to do it it's unclear but i don't think he wants to do it. Thomas is talking about his early career, how he met Doria and fell in love, how the marriage didn't work. He is talking with such emotion about Meghan. He's apparently looking forward to coming to London soon. Thomas had worked on a speech for the wedding, he feels bad that Meghan put all the working and he didn't. Apparently in an instagram post Meghan thanked her father (assuming this is not this year), for a lot including giving her the Markle nose! Ha! Thomas says that when Rachel Zane left Suits it ruined the show for him! This is a long interview! He sends his love to them both, he's not in a mexican hideaway, he couldn't be more proud of them and he loves them dearly. Piers calls him a very decent guy. In Thomas' first conversation with Henry they had an argument about Donald Trump which Henry tried to calm him down over. Thomas "thinks" Henry is open to the experiment of Brexit but this came from a push question by Piers. Thomas Markle says Donald Trump has had his chance, and now he's done. Piers is being a bit silly now, as he's asking Thomas is opinion on Henry between the two of us, when they're both on live television. Thomas has nothing but praise for Henry and Meghan. The staged photos were a serious mistake, and he's hurting from the decision he made to stay away from the wedding. He has to pay for that decision for the rest of his life. Thomas Markle expresses regret at not giving Meghan away and thanks 'handsome' Prince Charles | Daily Mail Online Hardly a warning :whistling: |

Harry's supposed answers on Trump and Brexit were very non-committal and vague. I mean these conversations would have happened after both Brexit and the Election in the US so what was Harry supposed to say? I am sure he has been raised since birth to be as vague as possible when talking politics to someone who he didn't know at this point.
The media will absolutely run with that though. It is going to be a rough week for KP. I honestly may take a break from Royal watching for a few days. Whenever Markle Sr pops up, ugly drama ensues. |

I am guessing, and could be wrong, that KP didn't know about this ahead of time which means Meghan is waking up to this like the rest of us.
Sigh, you would think Tom would have learned... |
Count me as one who doesn’t think that Mr. Markle is obliged to keep his mouth shut for the rest of his days. He’s an American citizen who doesn’t have to keep his opinions to himself lest he upset the grey men of BP or KP. Besides that, what he said was pretty anodyne.

Thanks Lumutqueen! :flowers:
Well, talking to Piers Morgan isn't actually very wise of him, is it. -------------------- Quote:

It sounds like he expects to be coming to London to meet 'the family'. :huh: Can't see a man like him making up stories. Will be interesting to see how this shakes down. Doria manages to stay silent, wonder why he decided to talk. |
How can people say that this is sweet or misguided. He basically implied that Harry might abuse Meghan amongst other things.Did y’all even watch this interview?? It was terrible.

Sweet man? Far from it. Poor Meghan. I suspect whatever relationship they had is officially over. If I were her I would completely cut him out of my life.
He wants to come to London? What a joke. Anyone notice how he keeps mentioning how upset he is that he is not part of history. And how uncomfortable was his comment that the 1st thing he said to Harry was "don't raise hand to her." Sheesh. It all makes sense why she delayed telling him. He kept repeating how Meghan and Harry stressed to him to NOT talk to the press and here he is doing it anyways. And all he could say to it was that he felt he needed to clear the air and he hopes they will forgive him. The worst. |

Kensington Palace is refusing to comment on Thomas Markle’s claims that Prince Harry told him to “give Trump a chance” and that the sixth in line to the throne was open to Brexit.
FWIW royal sources were at pains to stress that Harry and Meghan had spoken to Mr Markle several times in the week of the wedding after KP was criticised for not bringing him into the fold and giving him greater support. Via Richard Palmer Twitter |
