He didn't say they are the first family she's had. Close to her parents isn't the same as having a bustling large family like this.
This is pure common sense ?

The half brother wants his 15 minutes now. No direct quote from the father, but the press will hunt him down for comment. Jr. and Sammy have proven Harry's point to a degree; these two know they won't be invited to the wedding and they are lashing out and collecting any payouts from the tabloids. No word from Doria and her side of the family; but anyone who sold Meghan out should expect to watch the wedding on TV from their living room couch.
It’s quite clear Harry wasn’t referring to Meghan’s parents. He has met, likes and respects Doria. He is is also aware as most, that Meghan is an ONLY child of her mum & dad together. She also refers to herself as an only child. I think people should respect that. ?
This right here. I adore my parents they are my world; I am an only child and have only spent Christmas with them. Never had one where it was grandma grandpa nieces nephews cousins 2nd cousins, brother, sister, cousins of grand parents etc which is what Harry has every year and what he introduced Meghan to.This is pure common sense [emoji2]
That’s kind of the kicker. If Meghan has referred to herself as an only child it certainly implies that she doesn’t consider her half-siblings to be close family.
I don’t think Harry misspoke at all. Meghan seems to be a woman with a close relationship with her mother, a good relationship (albeit not particularly close) with her father, and not much of a relationship with her extended family. Harry, on the other hand has a brother and sister-in-law he’s very close with, a father and step-mother he’s on good terms with, cousins he’s close with, uncles and aunts who he sees fairly frequently, and grandparents who he has a good relationship with. That is all completely unlike what we know about Meghan’s family.
Absolutely nothing about Meghan’s family makes it seem like she has anything comparable to the somewhat close extended family within the Queen and DoE’s children and grandchildren. And that’s not considering the fact that the Queen’s niece and nephew, her cousins, and all their families get together a few times throughout the year - which is something very unlike most families; after all, how much contact does the average 30-something have with their parents’ cousins, or their grandparents’ cousins?
Even Meghan's nephew says he wishes he had stayed close to Meghan but a falling out between Tom Markle Jr. and Tom Markle Sr caused a great divide. Nephew says both his father,Tom Jr. and aunt Samantha are crazy.
Meghan has a niece,Ashleigh, she is close to who is 31.Ashleigh is a lawyer. Her mother Samantha did not raise her or brother Christopher and they are estranged from her. Judge felt children better off with their dad.
Sister remarries and divorces again. Had daughter Noel who left home at 14 to live with maternal grandmother because abuse from Samantha's ex-convict boyfriend who still lives with her. Harry was right!
I'd be appalled if my future husband spoke in public in detail about my family, its not his business to do so in the first place. Even worse in Harry's case, whose family is not exactly role model in many regards.

If I were a parent and my daughter's fiance made a comment like Prince Harry's I would find it hurtful as if our family wasn't good enough.
It can be a nightmare with everyone under one roof. But it's also fantastic because you just never know what's going to happen.
I always say to both my grandparents, "Why do you keep doing it at this age? Why do you have your whole family under one roof? It must just exhaust you." But they love it, they absolutely love it. At least that's what they say.
Maybe. But a mature parent, secure in a relationship with the child, would not think twice. I expected the remark would cause a stir, but I really doubt that it has caused a stir with anyone who matters to Harry or Meghan.
Somehow it doesn’t seem to right to rubbish anyone who is related to Meghan while a few are wanting attention there is others and no doubt young children involved. It doesn’t seem right to discuss them here in fact I’m surprised some haven’t been deleted
Now, I think the opposite. I think it was a wise move for KP to issue an official statement saying "Harry's statement speaks for itself".
I think that’s blowing things out of proportion a bit to say he’s not an empathy because of this or they don’t care what those Meghan is close to think. Obviously if they have close contact with the couple, as we believe her parents are, then they’d understand what Harry truly meant. Which is no one has quite had a family like his, which is true. To feel like he’s saying you aren’t good enough is a bit dramatic and immature. As for the family that she doesn’t speak to that is selling her out. Well I would say not talking for about 10 years kind of confirms they are only family in the sense of DNA, doesn’t it.Hm, interesting perspective.
I'm very close with my family and I do believe my parents would be hurt of one of their children's soon-to-be husband or wife made a comment like Prince Harry did.
Maybe your right. Meghan and Harry may not care what Meghan's family thinks nor cares about their feelings regardless if they are close or not.
I always assumed Prince Harry was an empath, but I suppose now I was wrong.
I didn't necessarily have a problem with his original comments. What I didn’t think was good or helpful was the statement made by KP. It didn’t come across as particularly dignified but rude and unnecessary. It was ridiculous and beneath a press office of the royal family. They aren’t celebrities who need to comment on everything said in the media. I think it’s better not to comment and maintain the same line they’ve always used on not commenting on private matters. This issue is between Meghan and her family not something for the media to be involved in. It just leads to more gossip and media speculation. It takes away from important issues and the work they do as royalty. I don’t understand the point.
I was afraid that his comment would invite further comment from the Markles and apparently Tom Jr. has now joined in the conversation.
I'm hoping that Tom Sr. can exert some influence and ask his older children to stop with the comments and then he can have a chat with Meghan privately.
I don’t see anything wrong with what was said. This isn’t between Meghan and her family. This is about estranged family who has felt the need to constantly comment on the couple since the beginning as if they are involved, and they aren’t. Harry stands by his comment, which except for some dubious need to twist it, isn’t wrong.

Mark your calendar Osipi because this is a very special day!
You and I are going to agree to disagree. (I believe this might be the first time.)

How is it not an issue between her and her family? This is not a matter for public discourse. Why comment? Meghan is not unique. Everyone who has married into royal families have had people including families make comments. The response from KP came across as petty, messy and has not helped anything. Its just added more fuel to the fire the media love it but who else and what’s the point? Harry would have stood by his comment regardless. There was no need for their spokesperson to respond that way. Of course her family was going to respond.
