The Duchess of Sussex and her father

Couldn’t agree more PECS

"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!

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

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

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 .

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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 .

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

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

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

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

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

I am not interested in the royal family and celebrities. The press hype up all these stories to get ignorant people to read their rags. Even though in my youth I worked on the Daily Express I never buy or read newspapers.

It’s boring so I mostly skip any articles about the RF. They wouldn’t be interested in my life either!

I totally agree. It's really no ones business, everyone knew of the estrangement and knew her history before the wedding , so why keep dragging it up?!

To be honest, they all bore me to death. People say the Royals bring in more money to our Country, its really not so.
They are a parasitic bunch, Of course I felt for the boys when they lost their mother, as I would anyone else, but at the end of the day there are far more worth people about who actually do bring in money to this country, instead of having whatever they might bring in, spent on their comforts, safety and well being.
Waste of time n space, all of them.

Oh dear! Oh dear, this is what I call 'family sins' we all have.

None of our business and don't really care except for the fact that it probably cast a big shadow over her wedding day. Nobody knows what's really going on apart from Meghan and her dad and why should they?

All this nonsense makes me very glad that I gave up buying papers years ago & rely on Radio 4 for my news- I very occasionally see TV news but I shall never buy another newspaper (except occasionally the Rugby paper which has no politics or gossip but lots of pictures of hunky rugby lads!)
