Apparently he’s unable to speak, but it is very early days so time will tell how well he recovers.
I do feel for this man. Yes he was very foolish to get involved with the paparazzi prior to the wedding but then he has repeatedly apologised, and has acknowledged how very stupid it was to trust them.

Anyway perhaps this will mark the turning point with Meghan as she will surely be rushing to his bedside.

But why does everyone care so much?

Allsorts Fri 27-May-22 16:55:01

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I only see and hear what the couple have said and done and it is in my eyes very bad behaviour, other than that I don’t want to see them, why didn’t they do what they said they would and disappear from public life (via Netflix), everything they do is about them, upstaging someone and money and if course their impoverished difficult home life. They will muscle in on that balcony if it kills them. As for Thomas it’s a pity he he couldn’t have seen it for what it was, it wasn’t worth the difficulty he has experienced, she doesn’t care for him any more, she isn’t what she was.

I can't help feeling how disappointed people will be if she does go to her dads bedside.

I guess it’s the same as when anyone in the public eye is being discussed Lucca - we can only comment on how we view that person according to their actions.
Yes I accept that some of what we have read about MM may or may not be strictly true, but, for example, there was enough material in the Oprah Winfrey interview alone for us to form an opinion of her.

Likewise, although it’s still relatively early days since his stroke, I suspect a large number of people will think it’s shameful that she couldn’t put the past behind her and make her peace with a very sick, elderly father.

Some may not agree with that view though.

We have psychics on here.
Who knew? (Well, the psychics, I expect)

I am sick of seeing news about those 2, and think Harry has become Megan's poodle and she an utter egomaniac. She is detestable for not going to see her father. It could be the last time she sees him and she will be giving the sob stories when he dies.

See what I mean Lucca?

She already has Jaylucy.

I mean, she has a book to sell.

I believe that Meaghan visited the scene of that horrendous shooting in Texas earlier but I doubt that she would be rushing to his bedside - so just wait for the sister to crawl out again and start complaining to all and sundry!
Most families have a falling out at some point or otherwise just drift apart only to meet up again at funerals !
I really have no interest in what did or didn't happen in the Markle family tbh!

Or is coming here next week the perfect excuse, in her mind, to avoid visiting her poor father?
Who knows how that woman’s mind works, but failing to visit him will just confirm the opinion that a lot of us have of her.

Not wishing to be rude JE but it always seems to me on these threads that most commenters seem to think they DO know how Meghan s mind works!

I doubt it! She’s too busy flying 1400 with her own photographer exploiting the killing of 19 children in Texas.

Did you even read what the poster above you wrote ??

Its like people are just writing random posts full of random words without any recourse to facts or reality.

This is what it must be like in Johnson's Cabinet Meetings.

No one has to have a relationship with anyone....

If that makes me evil in the eyes of a sstrangee who knows nothimg about my childhood then I will live with that

I better go file my horns down again lol

Anniebach Fri 27-May-22 16:02:17

Or a son and grandson who is doing the same.

I wonder where on earth she learned that behaviour?

Taichinan Fri 27-May-22 15:49:04

I'm afraid I'm very cynical about that lady and her motives. It seems to me that if there's good publicity to be gained from rushing to his side, she will do so. Otherwise .........

What a terrible situation having a daughter that will have nothing to do with you.
Ok he made mistakes.
We only know from the press but she doesn’t seem a warm endearing individual. Yet expects warmth herself.
The old saying ‘What you are I was. What I am you will be’ may be worth remembering.
Her own children may learn from her and she may have a lonely bitter old age.
Remember Mrs Simpson.
My thoughts are with the father and HIS loving family, and I wish him a speedy recovery.

What a terrible situation having a parent that would sell your private life to the press for dollars.

Meghan Markle’s dad has bragged about his plans to continue cashing in on her, saying “the royals owe me” — and telling his daughter, “It’s time to look after Daddy.”

Thomas Markle, 75, admitted on an upcoming UK documentary that he is still making money off photos he staged with a paparazzo, even though they humiliated his daughter just days before her 2018 royal wedding — and that he lied to Prince Harry about his involvement.

“Absolutely. Those pictures will sell forever,” he told the doc, “Thomas Markle: My Story,” according to clips shared with the Mirror.

Making up facts about a person you dislike while complaining about that person making up facts is hypocritical, at best.

Look, how far did that private jet fly?

1300 miles, 1400 miles or 1500 miles?

As members of the public, I think we're entitled to know!!!!! Its really important!!!!!

Disliking someone who lies is disliking not hating

FACT: There is waterproof makeup who'se sole purpose is to allow crying without running. I know, I specifically bought some for my dads funeral earlier this month.

Amazing isn't it? Its not even a brand new idea

What's the fascination with the relationship of two people that none of you know?

why are you fascinated enough to ask?
