The Duchess of Sussex and her father

The media drag it up because 'vultures' like to pick over the bones and that sells papers/gets viewers!

Dirty linen has no place here...I hope.

The family business between Meghan and her father should be kept between themselves

Well said Oldwoman70. Not so sure that everyone takes it with a pinch of salt, though, sadly.

May have been so different if her parents families had been invited to the wedding

Well said!
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors (as the old song used to say!!!) There must have been some reason Meghan was estranged from her father but not up to anyone, including "friends" to speculate why.
Time that all the media pulled their head in and let it rest once and for all .

Naturally the press would find such a society wedding strange with the bride not inviting uncles, aunts, cousins etc , a quiet wedding yes , but hundreds of guests and only one member of the brides family invited

This confounded woman has caused nothing but upset since she arrived on the Royal scene, Poor besotted Harry! Once she has the child I doubt she will be long on the scene.

Well said Day6 (but I would suggest that you check for typos before posting!). Meghan will need the support of the royal family and the public in the years to come, and should resist publicising her disfunctional family. Her mother is dignified and the person Meghan should be closest to.

I can never get excited about multi-millionaires with servants having a tiz with their families. My daughter struggles to pay the electric bill despite grafting hard and raising children.

Wow! Ngaio1 there's a judgement!
I know nothing about her other than what I gleaned from the report of the wedding as that was reported in the paper I buy and was also on TV. Any previous or subsequent gossip has passed me by except when I see it on GN!

I wholeheartedly agree with PaddyAnn Harry does not need our sympathy or pity. He has a life free of all normal concerns like money, bills, commuting, student debt etc. I also have known children losing both parents at a young age which is unbearably sad.
Why the new Duchess cannot resolve this family matter without making all this public is a mystery to me.

I agree with eazybee.It is all very unpleasant and a pregnant woman should be off limits.I find her father and sister unbelievable,if he cared as much as he says he does,he would be trying to reconnect with her privately.Horrible situation all round.

Apologies to the poster who said Harry was her favourite because he was small walking behind his mothers coffin, yes it was very sad but I don’t understand how this made him a favourite.

Harry irritates me .

What a shame her father couldn't have kept the letter to himself, that was unkind of him.

But not unkind of her friends to speak to the press , which caused him to defend himself, I don’t agree with him publishing the letter but can understand him wanting to
Defend himself. He has kept silent about the letter through his many interviews , perhaps being accused of lying by her friends was just too much

"for the love of money is the root of all evil which while some coveted after, they have erred from faith and pierced themselves through many sorrows". Good old Timothy knew what he was talking about!
Having now read a few background articles from various sources it does seem that some are on a mission to get a piece of the Sussex pie!

Couldn’t agree more PECS

Always puzzled as why William’s Wife is constantly referred to as “Kate”
I read (eons ago) that she was Catherine, sometimes called Cathy by family/ friends and had never been called or known as “Kate”.
Did it all stem from that tabloid headline about “Waitie Katie” ?
Like others on here, I feel that the levels of dislike of people they know nothing about are mystifying. I’m assuming none of us personally know members of the RF and the truth about these often horrid, tabloid rubbish stories.

Frankly, we have far better things to concern ourselves with like the future of our country in or out of Europe, the starving children in Yemen because we are still arming countries overseas and allowing them to oppress others - what in heaven's name are we doing even concerning ourselves with an overprivileged set of human beings and then feeling sorry for things that happen to them when they themselves glory in their celebrity and manipulate the press to suit their ends. Get real people, if you have a concern for people, do some voluntary work with those on the streets. I won't apologise if I offend - I can't offend one iota as much as those white-toothed plastic celebs offend me when they open their mouths and can't string two words together sensibly yet are earning megabucks because of undiscerning audiences who wouldn't think twice about walking past a homeless person and looking in disdain.

I heard recently that Megan wanted a certain thing for her wedding but was given something else and Prince harry complained and told the staff “ what Megan wants Megan gets” and they were told rightly so told off and told you get what you are given

Iam not sure but I think it was over a tiara

I just wish we didn't have a royal family. They are a huge drain on our country and sponge off of the taxpayers. Think it's sad about Megan and her family but I guess none are good enough to visit or socialise with now she's with a 'prince'

Do you all actually believe that you would be able to see a letter written by her to her father, I don't think so .tut

Many of us have unhappy families but at least we aren't well known and don't have to endure embarrassing publicity because of it.
