I don’t think she was saying her dad’s family isn’t her blood. She was just pointing out that it’s not true none of her blood family will be there as her mother’s side is also her blood family. At least they haven’t stabbed her in the back and sold her childhood memories for money yet.
Even if they haven't I don't see why they would be invited, either. If one hasn't seen family branches for decades it makes no sense (to me) to invite them to one's high profile wedding 'simply because' of a blood relationship. Makes no sense. Especially in this case when there is so much vulnerability for Meghan (and by extension the BRF).
The tabloids are making hay with this because this is exactly what people are tending to do: equating this wedding with any other family wedding, and it's not. This is an event. This is theatre related to an ancient institution to do with the groom's family.
In fact, were I to find myself in a similar situation with a relative (the relative being Meghan) I would not be assuming an invitation even if I were friendly and on good terms with the relative. I would view that high profile wedding as very much connected to my relative's life outside of my sphere of intimacy with my relative, certainly outside of my social sphere (what would I do at such a shindig?) My relative and I could get together in so many other kinds of ways to celebrate the happy union. In fact, I could see having a second set of vows and second reception just for us 'regular folks' in our home country. It would be so much more comfortable and happy and intimate and meaningful. That's me, but also my family. I could see that happening with my family.
