What do you think about Meghan’s family drama?

First of all, everyone has annoying relatives, even I do. So I am not surprised that she does not like them. Besides, I think the madness runs in the family. I just find it surprising how people are pitying Meghan. She claims to be a humanitarian yet she doesn’t bother helping her father mentally, emotionally or financially(whatever he wants). He might be the trashiest person on earth but he still raised her and she probably has SOME good memories of him. Not to mention she made him sound like the best dad in the world on Father’s day on her insta. How can she truly help strangers(her so-called humanitarian work) and at the same time not even glance at her own father? She is such a fake and I’m surprised more people don’t question this. I hate some of my relatives but if they were so desperately wanting something I would not turn them away because they are family. And if I did turn them away then at least I wouldn’t call myself a humanitarian. 

I second this. I don’t know if it has to do with the culture we are brought up in, but I’ve always learnt that you try and be there for your family. Granted, if they are toxic, you create boundaries, and sometimes those boundaries mean no communication. But clearly, from her Instagram posts, she had love and respect for her father and mother. So, why did her father not have her direct number even before he sold photos to paparazzi? (He said he had the number of her aide who would then give her the phone or she’d call back. After he started talking to the media, those numbers were changed.) More importantly, why did Harry not meet him at any time before or after the engagement? He’d met Doria several times before they got engaged. Why hasn’t she given him any financial support when she made it?

Again, I’m not suggesting you have to give thek everything you own and not have any boundaries, but she presented their relationship like it was really good, do then why did Harry not meet him and why didn’t she help him financially?

And if Thomas was always toxic and their relationship was bad, why present it as otherwise to the world?

They can’t both be true, so either she was lying about their relationship, or she’s self-centered.

I think both.  Here was a man she spoke highly of and lovingly of forever. Yet. and I kept at this- Harry never met him?? It was and is disrespectful as they have the means and private transportation to do so.   And then Harry went on to say the family she never had??  She has a Mom and a Dad and they love and have supported her.  No apology.  And since no one, unless forced to, even bothers with Meghan- who is Harry to say such things??

Mr. Markle has been genuinely hurt.  It all could have been avoided .  If she was so loving to her parents- KP would have sent people etc. to get them ready for the wedding.  It must be a daunting thing- yet they both could have been in U.K. quietly getting readied for new customs and traditions for at least the life their daughter would be living.

So I think you are right.  There is a lot of lying anyway with these two and had she stopped to think about her parents for one second- it would have been an easy fix for the wedding.
