Allsorts
I don’t recall reading anything that said Thomas Markle was bad. Nothing. He supported and was there for her her whole life. She objected to something he had done/not done. What about the lifetime he loved and supported her, the things she wrote about him whilst young, all complimentary. I doubt she will go to him, after all there’s only on member of the whole family she speaks to, her mother. So everyone else is wrong are they? I feel sorry for Thomas he loves her so much, regardless of how she turned out. No a daughter to be proud of, but he is. All this strain on top of his heart problems has got to have put immeasurable pressure on him. He’s never met his grandchildren, how spiteful. I wish him well and peace, because he has had little.
Are you sure you didn’t misread what Serendipity22 said, Allsorts - I think she hoped Mr Markle’s illness was not as bad as reported, not his character?
I don’t think we can possibly know the characters and motivations of either of them, but they should be left to do whatever they want to do without press interference, it’s their business and it’s private.
