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.

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 .........

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 15:52:59

I wonder where on earth she learned that behaviour?

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 ??

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

Or a son and grandson who is doing the same.

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.

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 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!

She already has Jaylucy.

I mean, she has a book to sell.

See what I mean Lucca?

songstress60 Fri 27-May-22 16:27:16

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.

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 16:39:05

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

JenniferEccles Fri 27-May-22 16:51:12

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.

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 16:54:19

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

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.

volver Fri 27-May-22 16:56:00

But why does everyone care so much?

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 16:57:01

They aren't going on the balcony, though, and neither is Andrew.

A snub from the queen, if what I have read is true, which is as likely as anything anyone else has read.

VioletSky Fri 27-May-22 16:58:50

Im so supprised anyone can look at Thomas Markle and find his behaviour acceptable

volver Fri 27-May-22 17:01:36

He's the sort of anti-Meghan, isn't he? My enemy's enemy is my friend, if you like.

If Meghan came on TV and said Putin was a bad guy, somebody would say "well she would say that, wouldn't she? Attention seeking. He's not so bad really."

Smileless2012 Fri 27-May-22 17:02:51

I would like to think that even those who criticise M would be pleased to know she'd been to visit her father MissA. I wouldn't want a visit from our ES because I was ill but if this is something M's father would welcome, then I would be pleased if she did.

People care about all sorts of things volver. Why do you care what others care about?

Smileless2012 Fri 27-May-22 17:05:01

hmm don't agree it's a snub from the Queen MissA, rather a tactful way of dealing with any potential ill feeling that could arise if H & M and PA were to appear on the balcony and they're not the only ones, working royals are very much in the minority these days.

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 17:06:01

Perhaps she will, smileless, perhaps not.

There seems little point in people getting all het up until they know what to get het up about.

MissAdventure Fri 27-May-22 17:08:05

I have no idea if it's a snub or not.

It's just something I read.

Smileless2012 Fri 27-May-22 17:08:40

Very true MissA.

Anniebach Fri 27-May-22 17:11:48

If Harry is on the balcony so should Zara, Peter, Beatrice, Eugenie, all grandchildren of the Queen and like Harry
not working royals
