is Groundhog Day,because 2 months ago,Katie Nicholl was saying the same thing ET”Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expected to Visit Her Father in Mexico (Exclusive)’/’I hear one of the things they want to do sooner than later–and now that they’re married –is to go and see Thomas Markle,who is recovering from a heart operation,”Nicholl says.”We don’t know when this trip might happen…I’m hearing from people close to Meghan and Harry that they’re very keen to do it”

anonymoushouseplantfan:

Thanks for bringing that back. I’m getting confused about what happened when, so I tried to put all the Tom Markle articles in order. Boy, this soap opera went on and on. 

Like you said, they seemed to be planning a visit after the wedding.

Now, that article came out on May 22nd, AFTER Tom had already talked to the press.

On May 19th Tom talked to TMZ about how much he loved the wedding, how he’d texted Meghan, and how all his relatives should “shut up.” He seemed to be expecting to see the newlyweds soon.

Remember, he had been talking to TMZ throughout the whole wedding. In fact, the whole “heart operation” drama WAS BASED ON HIS CALLS TO TMZ before and after the supposed operation on May 15th and 16th.

Meghan seemed to confirm her father’s health issues on her official statement made on May 17th.

So everything was hunky dory in May even thought Thomas was talking to TMZ on an almost daily basis. No one at KP seemed to mind.

On May 22nd he called up TMZ again to explain why he was buying Frapuccinos after his heart operation and to say that he just wanted to be left alone.

On May 31st he called them again to explain that he never took money from Meghan.

At this point he was just talking to TMZ to explain himself. He wasn’t saying anything about Meghan and Harry except that they had texted/spoken the day of the wedding.

On June 5th the DM got pics of him going to the barber looking pretty happy and relaxed.

Then on June 18th he went on Good Morning Britain and spoke about Harry’s opinions on Trump and Brexit.

This seems to be when the shit hit the fan. At that point KP was reportedly furious about being “blindsided.”

And Tom now feared he was “frozen out.”

On July 3rd he supposedly “reconciled” with Tom Jr.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5913887/Meghan-Markles-father-estranged-half-brother-reunited-near-Mexican-border.html

On July 15th he did the “terrified” interview with The Sun.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6781106/thomas-markle-believes-meghan-markle-terrified-of-new-life/

And said that Tom Jr had “ambushed” him for a staged reconciliation two weeks before. Man, these people are so messed up.

Then on July 18th Meghan’s “friend” told the DM that Tom had faked his heart attack.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5934735/Thomas-Markle-xlaimed-heart-surgery-excuse-pull-Meghans-wedding-source-says.html

Then on July 28th, Tom did the “better off dead” interview with the DM, mentioning Diana and explaining that the contact numbers he had for Meghan stopped working.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6002773/Thomas-Markle-says-Meghan-cut-life.html

Then on August 1st, Meghan’s friend told the DM the the reconciliation was “off the table” and that the royals were “not as upset as you would think.”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6016101/Meghan-Markle-father-never-reconcile-friend-claims.html

Then on August 3rd, the Mirror found out that the palace was having “crisis” meetings over Thomas and mulling their options.

Then the Times and The Mirror got the leaks about the upcoming meeting.

So, that’s where we are now. Wow, this has been quite the roller-coaster.
