Meghan's father and photographer in photo scam

They have indeed stella1949

Oh my, let's all get outraged - again - about something that matters very little. The DM must have paid for the photographs initially, no doubt under no illusion that they were set up and Mr M was paid. it was obvious. I wish Meghan and Harry a happy future

The Royals have quite a few " murky " members themselves. Or has everyone got short memories?

The media can't be blamed for any of this.

If the father hadn't got involved in this tacky scam, he would have been left alone.

It's absolutely right that the paper reported it.

I agree Moocow some people are hell bent on destroying others by word and deed.
Something Meghan will need to take in her stride now.

Poor Meghan and Harry. Hope the media will stop going for the family just because they can't go for Meghan direct. Anyone who has experienced hostility in any if it's various guises must have a very small inkling of what she (they) must be going through right now. Not a royalist but am human!

I'm going to give Mr. Markle the benefit of the doubt and say he was led on by the photographer and possibly lied to and he did it for money, of course. Maybe for some spending money while here in London for his daughters wedding. We don't know if he is wealthy or not but I think not with his presentation and supposed lifestyle, according to recent press reports at least. I actually feel a bit sorry for him being dragged out of his reclusive life to being in the public eye even if it's only for a short time . I bet he's already dreaming of the day he can get back to his normal life and away from prying eyes I just hope he can do just that and not be like the rest of her family and trying to reveal allsorts whilst claiming their few minutes of "fame".

gillybob (murky) Markle!!

Well this wasn't a mistake was it, it was quite deliberate and planned, and nobody humiliated him - he did that all by himself.

Ok of course I do accept he's out of his comfort zone, but why on earth would he do something guaranteed to embarrass his daughter just a few days before her wedding?

Just how much does Harry know about this family? I know he's besotted with Meghan, but surely he needs to be certain the family (or at least the parents) know how to behave, and are discreet. Apparently the mother has been on Oprah's show!

He really should have got his daughters future SiL (the DoC) to take the official "I'm on my way to the wedding" photo's, after all she is an expert in the photography world isn't she?

I would bet my life on Mr (murky) Markle having received a decent sum of money. Possibly as share deal with the photographer.

I wonder how perfect we would all be, in his position. He is right out of his comfort zone , maybe not behaving perfectly but he is human and can make mistakes. I'd prefer to cut the man some slack and give him some support , instead of splashing this story all over the media and humiliating him.

Did the Mail pay for the pictures? if so, a bit hypocritical?

I think it's funny.
