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.

Definitely not Smileless she lied so much in that interview why should one claim be true . They both lie often .

If you think it’s a silly thread Blossoming why are you on it? There are plenty of other threads for you to choose from aren’t there?

I do wonder if people realise how rude it is when they say that.

Its kind of If you don't like it just p*** off

My mum had her third stroke at 59 yearswhich left her unable to speak , eat or move. She died 2 months later. It was 24 years ago. I hope Meghan's father can move and at least eat because if he can't then that will be horrific for him. Hopefully he recovers but some strokes cause too much brain damage. I hope Meghan goes and visits him, buy that is up to her to decide.

I'm making assumptions but I get the impression most Gransetters are white and I will bet my bottom dollar that Meghan knows more about racism than we* do (or the Royal family does)

*Royal we

Agree. We are all allowed to comment on threads unless being downright offensive which blossoming wasn’t.

She's got the cameras with her as she visited the site of the dreadful massacre of all those children and teachers in Texas--- but cant find it in her to visit her father!! And he hasnt even met his grandkids---spiteful woman in my opinion This is the man who paid for her private education AND got her work in the film industry in which he worked.

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 for real! He was offered support by the RM on how to deal with the press. He ignored it.

He has gone and on talking about her, trashing H & M in the media for 4 plus years. Whatever you think your child has done you don't scream at the media.

Her half sister and half brother are gutter trash. It's all about them making money.

Before they left being working royals there was no way the firm would allow contact because of what he had done.

M won't go because she knows full well her half sister snd her dad would talk to the media.

I find it odd he had a heart attack the week they got married and now he has suddenly he is supposed to be coming to the U.K for the jubilee he is ill again.

Who arranged the photo shoot in the hospital for him and Sam Markle? You would have thought Sam Markle would have more to be bothered about.

BTW he has grandchildren and family he doesn't bother with. See attached article. It's all about money. M owes him nothing. He is supposed to be the parent. Would you go on media and share your adult child off to the world?

The reason her mom is her life is because she is discreet and loyal.

Crikey.

GraceQuirrel Fri 27-May-22 12:41:01

Meghan is too busy taking her Netflix film crew to the awful tragedy in Avalde to pose by the memorial to the children to be with her father. She flew 1300 miles to do it in a private jet. She is a fame hungry and desperate for content. Her poor father, what a monster he begat.

volver Fri 27-May-22 12:42:38

Well Mr Markle I hope you're feeling better.

We're all just going to have a go at the Royals, you and your whole family now.

I think you'll find God is on our side.

Carooline Fri 27-May-22 12:43:24

Yes she appears to come from a dysfunctional (bad) family but look what happened as soon as she got married, she blew the entire royal family apart! The stories she has come out with and her disrespectful behaviour towards them. It seems she may be the catalyst for the trouble that surrounds her!

Nannashirlz Fri 27-May-22 12:48:37

She is an actress she knows what she is doing, like all the different poses that Diane made she copy’s. Personal I don’t think they was any racist treatment I think it was just another lie to leave England. They have told so many lies that they given pinocho a run for his money. They were both used to the press her dad wasn’t and if you are stopped seeing your grandkids you become desperate and will try anything. Where were her arms then she just ignored him. Now he’s in a bad way and going to need care for months but instead of going to see her dad while she still got a chance she pretending not to see camera putting some flowers for those poor kids. But when her dad is gone she will wish I could turn back time. Same as when our queen or prince Charles goes Harry will wish he hadn’t slagged his family off. We all fall out with family and friends etc but we don’t go write a book or moan on tv about them.

volver Fri 27-May-22 12:50:39

I love this, really I do.

Yesterday on the news she was in Uvalde .

Today she had a whole Netfix crew with her, she was posing, she flew there in a private jet and she is a monstrosity in the eyes of God. And apparently she blew the whole RF apart, although the last time I saw them on TV they looked pretty whole to me, even the one that paid off the woman he allegedly assaulted.

Who's Diane?

JaneJudge Fri 27-May-22 12:52:17

volver, they have featured this thread in the daily email they send out so it is going to be even more batshit for at least the rest of today. Go out in the garden and enjoy the sun smile

volver Fri 27-May-22 12:54:37

Its windy here, really windy JaneJudge. Probably Meghan's fault wink

JaneJudge Fri 27-May-22 12:56:24

Bound to be and God's fault
also Netflix fault

Dynawritecat Fri 27-May-22 12:56:51

Whatever she does it's her business.

Dylant1234 Fri 27-May-22 13:00:20

I always thought it very discourteous of Harry that he never bothered to make the effort to meet her father prior to the marriage. If her father had been a Duke would he not have made at least one visit, however far away he lived?
Very odd behaviour.

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 13:01:43

Other people's families are always odd, I find.

Bambibear Fri 27-May-22 13:05:58

To be honest, and yes I know it sounds harsh but it couldn’t care less whether she visits or not. Obviously I hope he recovers but I’m sick and tired of hearing how “poor Meghan” has suffered so badly, has been hounded by the press, had such a miserable childhood, blah blah blah. They moved to “Canada” to get away from the evil British media (and to be fair, I could understand that) but then it suddenly changed to buying a house in the middle of Paparazzi central and signing up to any bit of attention they could possibly get. So since that, I have no sympathy or time for either of them. Rant over. Hope you all have a lovely day.

Shill29 Fri 27-May-22 13:07:37

Is this going to be her excuse for not coming over here next week?
Sorry to be cynical.

Amalegra Fri 27-May-22 13:23:40

I don’t take much interest in the shenanigans of the Sussexes, I must admit. Unfortunately I am assailed by media headlines all too often. No idea about the truth of the story, it’s their business. However, due to the oversharing of personal information by her sidekick, Harry, about his family and the blatant ingratitude towards a father who has made mistakes but who has tried to put things right, I am very sceptical about much of the Meghan saga. It jars rather nastily with their much vaunted and overstated ethos of humanitarianism and compassion. Personally, I was taught that kindness begins at home! I also am amused by their projected appearance at the thanksgiving for the Queen’s Jubilee when, presumably, they will pay lip service only to the Christian concept of forgiveness, something that neither have demonstrated whatsoever.

JenniferEccles Fri 27-May-22 13:24:59

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.
