Miss Markle’s mother is a dreadlocked African-American lady from the wrong side of the tracks who lives in LA
Who in the family haven't we heard from yet and it's only been a week ?

Catherine Middleton – for all the disgustingly snobbish things that have been said about her – is ludicrously well-suited to being a queen: lovely looking, beautifully turned-out, terrific figure...
But, more than that, she is duty personified. Each time she is photographed – at a country house charity bunfight, attending regimental and royal ceremonies, meeting people who’ve had a rough time – she never looks anything other than engaged and enthralled. Never a yawn, never a hangover, never a “Let them eat cake” moment.
What girl wants to be compared unfavourably to the Duchess of Cambridge for ever – and to have to defer to her, too, for the rest of her life?
...Today, the fact Meghan Markle has been previously married is neither here nor there. The real difficulty will come from facing up to the extremely odd, pressured life with a royal number two. And a life that will change dramatically with the decades.
“Harry will gradually slip down the pecking order,” says Vickers. “The new girl sounds as though she could cope with it all. We will see.”
The estranged half-sister then retracted the interview she supposedly gave and claimed she hadn't said those things. The half-brother just stated he was supportive of Meghan.
Meghan's mother just said that she was sorry but she couldn't say anything. They pounced on her as she was about to drive to work!
Meghan is a beautiful and accomplished woman who is a fine public speaker at the UN and elsewhere. Her speeches are online. Bubbly, articulate, has a degree in international relations. I think she will be fine IF she joins the Royal family, in comparison to anyone and anything.
Well, we shall see. There are have been other articles out this week in the tabs that have called Kate bland and stated that Meghan is exactly what the Royal family needs. One of those articles was posted here.

She'd be a definite asset to the BRF. Meghan is a beautiful and accomplished woman who is a fine public speaker at the UN and elsewhere. Her speeches are online. Bubbly, articulate, has a degree in international relations. I think she will be fine IF she joins the Royal family, in comparison to anyone and anything.

She doesn't have a degree in international relations. Per the Hollywood Reporter she graduated from Northwestern's school of communication where international relations isn't a program in that school. Acting is.

It matters zero comma zero which achievements Miss Markle probably has. No one is interested in that. In medialand (and is there a country which uses more vitriol to write someone down?) the traditional role still is to shut up and to be pretty, to know your place and not to upstage your royal husband, thanks to whom you made that social climb.
It is like the chauffeur in Downton Abbey, Branson, whom married one of the Earl's daughters. No matter how hard he did, he never became a real part of the family upstairs ánd he was looked down by his former colleagues downstairs.
That same systematic will work on Miss Markle, like it still works on the former Miss Middleton: girl, you are no Princess, you play you are a Princess. Yesterday you were Meghan-next-door and tomorrow we have to bow, or go to the knees and mumble "Royal Highness".
It is exactly this underlying feeling which causes that people get the feeling it is all vaudeville, theatre and that they are watching an expensive circus (from their taxpayers' money indeed).
That is why I keep stressing on maintaining a certain standard, on decorum, on distance and indeed, all to keep some mystique. I compare it with the Church of Rome: in an attempt to "modernize", in the 1960's they ended the traditional Mass in Latin, Gregorian hymns were swapped for poppy songs, priests turned their backs to the tabernacle to face the parish and laymen were invited to the priests' choir to do readings. Costly golden chalices were swapped for amateurish-looking stonework, vestments were laid down and replaced by sober frocks.
Result? With a never-seen speed the churches became empty. The Anglicans thought, hmmm.... "we have to modernize too" and allowed female priests and gay clergy. Result: the Church of England is on the verge of complete irrelevance.
Morale of the story: it is a wrong way of thinking that people want a royal family with a Meghan, Autumn or a Sarah. Every distance disappears. But still we are expected to wave to them on that balcony, to sink down our knees and see them wearing glittering diadems.
I for once hope that Prince Harry indeed will find a lovely lady. And for the core sake of the monarchy I hope it will be a lady from a more traditional "pool" indeed.
