There is quite obviously more to the 'Thomas Markle Debacle' than has ever come out .. yet, because I rather fear that one day Meghan Markle will produce 'her story' part 2!
To me, clearly poor old Thomas had been, well, 'markled' long, long before his 'photo' transgressions. As we all continually remind ourselves, Meghan Markle had never even introduced Harry to her father .. how odd...
Or did Meghan Markle feel that Thomas was of 'no further use to her'? Doria Ragland presumably was 'useful' to the Meghan Markle narrative as a person of colour...
I have come to the conclusion that Meghan Markle should not have been allowed to marry harry until all the 'baggage' surrounding her wedding had been resolved. She should for a start have been informed that in BRF weddings, all members of the wider royal British family are customarily invited.... She should also have been advised that in British family weddings there is always [at least!] one family member who is (shall we say) 'embarrassing'. The 'embarrassing person' role at William and Kate's wedding was provided by the infamous 'Uncle Garry' [Middleton] who on the great day caused no problems whatsoever so far as we the wider public were aware ...
Usually at a British wedding the problem is cost - i.e. people cannot afford to have all the people they would like to invite. That was not a concern for Harry and Meghan Markle thanks to HLM. [I had 500 guests even after some severe 'pruning' of the guestlist - not hard with two large-ish family - a not-usual size in my circle at that time...]
One thing that always jarred with me was the revelation in in the Telegraph and the Times that on the announcement of the Royal Engagement, the British Consulate delivered to Dora Ragland a copy of the 'Permission' inscribed on vellum. No such courtesy was extended to poor old Thomas.....
There was Meghan Markle being received into the Church of England with its tradition of love and forgiveness yet she could provide none of this to her poor old Dad who had so generously provided for her in the past ....
I have often wondered why HLM was not more proactive in stepping in - and have come to the conclusion that they did not want to risk Harry 'going rogue' - 'whatever Meghan wants, Meghan gets' - because in reality they knew that Harry - contrary to the carefully crafted image of 'good old fun-loving Harry' was really something less wholesome....
I look at Meghan Markle's 'Christmas Crafting' as she [attempts to] portray(s) herself as a wonderfully warm person with her ideas and now she is trying to align herself with the iconic Girl Scout Cookie sale .....
It all seems rather far from being authentic, but rather a scattergun approach by the Sussexes to trying to raise revenue - and in view of the recent pronouncement by the Judge in Harry's forthcoming legal action against the Daily Mail that the costs are now in the region of £35million (sic) the Sussexes are going to need all the money they can get if the decision does not go in the favour [or as the Telegraph put it, that is an awful lot of jam [they mean 'spread', surely!] that Meghan Markle is going to be making......
