I'm glad I don't rely on this site to get my news from.
Source - Twitter, Senior Reporter for Buzzfeed : The volunteers at the community center who met Meghan told @kadiagoba (National News Reporter for Buzzfeed, who was covering Beto O'Rourke), that she (Meghan) did NOT have cameras or a film crew with her. She (Meghan) had a small security team.
Couple of other things from this thread that need addressing, in my opinion:
Harry would want security for himself and his family at the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral as unlike other members of the Family he fought in Afghanistan, two tours of duty (or one and a half as the Press found out and one tour had to be cut short). That makes him/his family far more of a target for terrorists than, say Prince Andrew's daughters.
Thomas Markle has tried (my opinion) to manipulate his daughter on numerous occasions in the past, and I think his other daughter has a hand in that - is anyone in any doubt that if a meeting between Meghan and her father were arranged the Press would be the second people to know and be in wait, and every detail shared - for a price. The photographer, Jeff Rayner, had coffee with Mr Markle back in 2018 prior to The Wedding and then took pics of Mr Markle inside a shop looking for suits for The Wedding. Staged, for a price of £100,000. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5721959/Meghan-Markles-father-STAGED-photos-paparazzi-sold-100-000.html - with press like that no wonder he had a heart attack. And so what if Harry phoned him, saying his wife was upset - two people (probably) were on that conversation, why would Mr Markle say Harry "berated" him - for the press coverage? Um - -
Some might call MM selfish and self centred, uncaring, I see her as being savvy to being used, protecting the children from being used. If she was that close to her father in the past I'd go with her knowledge of the man in her avoidance of him, rather than people here who have possibly been brought up in different circumstances and their indignation of Thomas Markle being shunned.
