Yep, and he had to apologize through the press because they weren’t talking to him. That was the issue.
And they ghosted him AFTER there were a ton of leaks from the palace about how they didn’t blame him for the pictures and they were so concerned about his health and the were going to go see him in Mexico. I bet he thought everything was okay and he had been forgiven and then he realized they weren’t taking his call anymore. That’s when he decided to apologize through the press.
I doubt it’s a coordinated strategy, however. I feel like it’s more that her family knows her and they’ve been in this situations twice before. They know what she’s going to do.
Tom Sykes is on a roll defending Megha’s decision to ghost her dad now.
You know it’s about to ‘go down’ when you’re actually slowly whispering “oh my goood”. Daddy’s got an in with the UK press now. It’s official. The Sun is his UK TMZ.
No response wringed from RoyalMeg or KP out of his Saturday & Sunday exclusives in The Sun, so now the old fox is shooting warning shots with a sharp loaded shotgun! LOL, good heavens. He’s basically going, ‘oh you thought this was embarrassing? Pick up the damned phone or I’ll show you embarrassment.’ He’s really much better at this media game than his daughter.
I mean…, “If I chose in a month, or couple of months, to go to England — I want to see my daughter. I’m thinking about it. I don’t care whether she is p***** off at me or not.”
And, “I still want to meet the Queen. If she’ll meet Donald Trump, why not me? (!OMG!) I’d like to be treated by the royal family like Meghan’s father. I should be regarded with the respect of any other father of the bride.”
Well you go daddy-o! LOL. Dear oh dear…
Here’s to him actually doing it. Can you imagine the brouhaha he’ll cause with Fleet Street chomping at the bit? The poor (literally and figuratively poor!) father, pictured outside of KP gates, not being let in, pouring his heart out to his darling daughter through the press in an attempt to reach her. Fearing she’s being held hostage in there; smothered into silence under a mountain of £€$£€$£€$ bespoke swag. DANG! Do it Thomas Markle Sr. Doooo iiiiiiit!
Thanks for sending this in. It’s turning into quite the soap opera.
It would actually be a big chance for her. She could have a public reconciliation, introduce him to the Queen, and then leak that she’s now talking to him but being very careful about what she says because she knows he’s talking to the press. That would neutralize him.
But it sounds like she’s going to try ignoring him, which will just make him rant and rave. That’s going to look pretty funny when she decides she wants to do charity again and starts going on Heads Together events telling people that “we must all help” the mentally ill and families in crisis and there should be tons of support and no stigma.
They are going to get blamed anyway, by Tom Markle of all people. It’s hilarious because Richard Kay had insiders saying that the staff was desperately trying to get Meghan to make up with her family and she just refused to do so. Now they are getting blamed for it all.
“I wish people would stop questioning Harry’s parentage – he looks like a Windsor version of Prince Philip, in fact, he looks more Windsor than William, who is pure Spencer, so, let’s put it to rest already.“ – Submitted by lucyclairedelune
I think the main difference is that a Hollywood celebrity can live in the publicist bubble forever, but royals have to interact with the real world. Meghan sold everyone this Hollywood humanitarian image and now that’s crumbling down.
Well, that’s what I don’t get about this sudden “toxic parenting” talk. Tom was supposedly a saint (amply documented in Meghan’s speeches, essays and social media) until early May 2018.
Yep, it’s interesting how they use the language of abuse, but her dad was apparently fantastic to her until the tabs started circling and he got no media guidance from KP.
So, basically now that Mio has stupidly set up a rationale that Megs needs to separate herself from her father, we can probably expect that Tom Sr. is going to come back with everything that he did for his daughter growing up and beyond. Attempted ghosting isn’t going to work this time. Shall we take bets on whether or not Tom Sr. is going to appear on Good Morning Britain? Whether or not Meg’s previous Instagram posts will appear?
Just sayin’…cause this girl gives Fleet Street a lot to work with…
The best part is the one where they complain about Emily using the phrase “newly-minted.” They clearly don’t know what that means and they thought Emily was calling Meghan nouveau riche or something. It’s hilarious. Em is a total sugar, but still attack her BECAUSE THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND BASIC ENGLISH. I’m dying.
DAENERYS TARGARYEN APPRECIATION 2018 ELEMENT – AIR: If I had wings, I would want to fly too, Dany thought. The Targaryens of old had ridden upon dragonback when they went to war. She tried to imagine what it would feel like, to straddle a dragon’s neck and soar high into the air. It would be like standing on a mountaintop, only better. The whole world would be spread out below. If I flew high enough, I could even see the Seven Kingdoms, and reach up and touch the comet.
They seem to have tabled that until the fall, which is a really bad decision, imo. Its hard to argue that she wanted to devote her life to charity when she basically spent her first year as a royal attending celeb events and spending money like crazy.
Sykes is going on and on about how the criticism is racist and classist, but I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. I think the Brits have a very clear view of how they want their royals to behave–they are supposed so be well-groomed representatives who follow the rules and focus on charity and making the UK look good. He talks about how the critics feel that Meghan isn’t “People Like US” but I think the criticism is mostly about Meghan not abiding by middle class rules about behavior, respect and thriftiness. If Meghan had, say, announced right after the wedding that she was picking Reprezent, Social Bite, and Stemettes as her charities (to pick her most high profile pre-wedding appearances), and had then scheduled a bunch of charity visits dressed in Marks and Spencer tops and Strathberry bags and shown up to Harry’s non-celeb polo tournaments in Zara dresses, we would be having a very different conversation right now.
