I agree re: Tom and Meghan two peas in a pod.  No sympathy for either.  But Meghan if she had two IQ points to rub together should have known she had to handle them. During the “affair” phase of this scam it benefitted her to let the family carry on because it was the one thing that gained her sympathy.  So she allowed it.  But once the wedding was on she had to know that the family drama was not going to be helpful.  And she refused to do a thing about any of them except Momma.  The real  family ruined her delusional ideal of family she had described in The Tig and her interviews.  So she ignored them.  They were an embarrassment.  And her determination to avoid that embarrassment and still attempt to get the sympathy vote over rode any intelligent assessment of shutting the scandal down.

This is a woman who chose to invite people she did not know and had not even met to her wedding while ignoring all but her mother and mother’s brother. Hard to feel a whole lot of sympathy for her especially since using then discarding people has been amply demonstrated to be her style.  

What is curious is that Harry or the RF did nothing until things got totally out of hand in the days before the wedding.  They clearly acted as if they saw it as her responsibility and were caught flatfooted by the whole heart attack drama.  Even now it seems they exert no influence on her to stop the drama.  That is interesting.

Thanks for submitting this! THAT is the question. Why was this not neutralized? I think the BRF KNEW how to neutralize it. They expected Doria and Tom to arrive for the baptism and PC and Cam were ready to wine and dine them, However, the parents never showed up. Tom and Doria were expected to show up a week or two before the wedding for more wining and dining. The BRF has been charming people this way for generations. They knew what to do.

But Meghan never brought her parents. Doria only made it in two days before the wedding and the BRF had to go all out wth tea and presents and crap right before the wedding.

I think they set everything up and left it to Meghan to bring in her parents–and she never did. Meghan is in the same tough spot social climbers have been since the dawn of time. She’s built her Holly GoLightly persona and she doesn’t want the old Lulla Mae identity to contaminate her new existence. She didn’t want her parents there. She HAD to have Doria because she needed that racial cred, but that was it. Once Tom had to bow out, she was happy to let him do so.
