I am sure we can just ignore them all. I don't think Harry will be talking to him very often.

I thought he came across as socially inept and a bit confused. He obviously realised in the break that he had gone too far and try to rein back. He isn't the brightest tool in the box.
It is a betrayal to release details of a private conversation with a family member and to take money for it makes it worse. They will now have a much more distant relationship which is sad but he won't be able to blame anyone else.
I hope people now stop blaming Meghan for only inviting her mother and are a bit more open hearted towards her.

He’s a real pain isn’t he. It seems that it’s all about him. P,us how cheap £7000 - yuk ?

I think Mr Markle is trying to rake in as money as he can, while he can. He admits he was paid thousands for those photos , well, didn't he? He and his loud mouthed daughter Samantha are the same. She has now retreated.
I didn't see the interview, but read about it. I feel sorry for Harry and Megan. There'll be more coming out of the woodwork.

I'm quite sure the royals understand theres no such thing as bad publicity,the fawning herds will be out in droves supporting them because of this man.It'll be all "poor Harry ,he's had such a hard life ..and Meghan must be devastated " ..watch this space.
On the other hand we can hope some see through the new earl or Duke or whtever he is now and realise he has a pretty damn good life and millions have had it much harder than him...yes even people who lost parents at an early age and had to cope with being put into care or raised in poverty .I know one or two like that myself .

I m sure the Royals have let him know what he should or shouldn’t say Smileless
I think he’s trying the ‘victim’ approach

Yes I agree Smileless not sure if he is lacking some social skills or just in it for the money.
Meghan's mother was much more dignified and supported her daughter well.

The RF have been criticised for not giving Meghan's father some pointers, do's and dont's but surely common sense should have told him what was appropriate to repeat and what wasn'thmm.

I watched that interview then just now saw a follow up with the equally nauseating Burrell bloke ?
I think that man may be a rock round their neck talking about Harrys stance on politics and saying he must never hit Meghan Whaaaaat where does that come from oh my word

I think there is a very valid reason Meghan only invited her Mum over here and as she hasn’t rushed to her fathers side I wonder if he really does have a bad heart at all or was that just a valid reason for him not coming here after his press pictures
I think I read that he’s been paid £7000 for that morning interview

Oh dear.
One thing about Michael and Carole Middleton, they have maintained their privacy and never sunk to this level.
Piers Morgan is pretty nauseating too.
