The Markle Family Saga

Tom Markle's letter to his half-sister Meghan Dear meg,

First thing I want to say is congratulations on your wedding engagement. And I'm so proud of you, you're awesome.

Next thing is that I'm truly sorry that my personal life my(sic) have caused you any embarrassment, never my intentions whatsoever. I've only ever tried to silence vonnie(sic) from the start. Those tabloid mags, reporters and articles are sick. Untrue.

I've had enough difficulty starting life over in grants pass(sic) as it is, with no luck.

Truly i don't want to be in the papers or media again, just want to move to the country and start my animal rescue farm and do what I love for the rest of my life.

I wish you and harry all the best, you guys look amazing and happy together.

Sincerely, Tom Markle Jr. Love you meg.

Meg and the Palace majorly screwed this one up. I am sure she wishes she never heard of the dude, but this was the exact wrong approach. Of course he was gonna go to the press (again) and update them on the latest drama. They should have done whatever the fuck it takes to get him and the sister to just shut the fuck up.

Hahahaha, bitch deserves it.

This is the worst and most inept way for someone marrying into the royal family to deal with embarrassing relatives. Rather than make them look bad or insignificant it makes Meghan look cold, calculating and selfish. Bad move.

I don't get the Meggy defenders whose new chorus is, "You can't choose your relatives" - sure, no one can choose their siblings, cousins, et al., but you can choose who you marry and who your in-laws are.

Harry's got plenty of crazy in his family to go around; Sparkle has the famewhore brother and sister and Sparkle is a famewhore herself, so why do Sparkle sugars think that it's a good idea for Harry to marry into crazy? Given all that narcissistic, grifting DNA, their kids are going to be SparkTrashians from the word go.

Maybe cause she is cold, calculating and selfish.

She's a D-list actress from a very small tv show who managed to grab a dumb prince. You can't expect anything else.

I get freezing out the crazy older half sister, but this guy while semi-literate and troubled seems to genuinely care and wish her well. This was the wrong response to him, foolish in hindsight as she's still trying to establish her public reputation. A friendlier response and tone, while saying 'there's not much I can do, sorry' would have worked much better.

I've just got a niggling feeling that the royals are sceptical of all this and have deep reservations about Meghan and her marrying Prince Harry but realise refusing his request to marry her or becoming too obvious in their disapproval would be pointless and counterproductive. I think their just grateful that Prince William's marriage seems popular and solid for the monarchys future. If Harry divorces or causes embarrassment down the line the expectation will be when it comes to the crunch the monarchy could survive it. Especially if William and Kate have four children of their own pushing Harry ultimately out of realistic line of probability for the throne.

He wants $$$$$$$$. Claiming "lost work" and "had to move three times."

Yeah right.

I love how he signs his letter "Sincerely, Tom Markle Jr." Do you include your last name when you write to your sibling?

She's telling everyone who she is. How she treats her family speaks volumes. Everyone has embarrassing people in their family.

Her "I don't know these people" will only act to egg on any and all media type outlets.

Poor Harry.

Luckily, if they have children, she won't be able to take them when she leaves.

I find it very odd that there have been no comments from her old college friends. You'd think there would be some dish. But then, they probably are happy in their own lives and don't need the publicity. But I don't even recall any pals coming forward.

It's like she brushed everyone off and grabbed onto Harry and given the grip on him in all photos, she has no intention of letting go.

Whether he lets go of her is another story.

Sounds to me like she spun a tall tale to Prince Harry about how she was basically an orphan (with her mother) and no real family to speak of. Clearly that was a lie. A half brother is "a distant relative"? She is so weird. Prince Harry will live to regret this.

I have no problem with Markle, but her relatives are disgusting moneygrubbing trash. No wonder she wants nothing to do with them.

From what I've read she uses then repudiates people when they become useless to her.

She's a gold digger and she won't let her Prince and ticket meal go away.

R12 Yeah remember the comment Harry made saying his family will be "the family she never had." A sob story has for sure been told. As soon as Meghan came on the scene I did a side eye. Her family may be trash or they may not. Either way, the way she handled it was tacky. I live in the UK and she's on so many magazine and newspaper covers, especially comparing her to Diana, which is reaching to the most heighest of heights. Bitch would never!

As far as Sparkle is concerned, water is infinitely thicker than blood.

His claims of lost work and having to move are a bit hard to believe considering her mother has no problem still teaching yoga and taking out her own garbage. He wants to sell his story.

I thought Britain (or at least their deplorables) wanted to curb immigration. Yet this American trash lands within pissing distance of the royal family?

Some of you are just fucking racist assholes, and/or stupid.

She probably did not grow up with her half siblings, and doesn’t know them well enough to have a relationship with them.

Each and every person who has gone to the press saying how much they love their sister Meghan has done so for money. If she started engaging with these relatives, they would all eventually start hitting her up for something. She’s done the right thing. By cutting of all communication with them, they cannot bother her, ask her for cash, threaten to go to the press, etc.

She has the right to include or exclude who ever she wants from her life. She obviously made the right choice, since her family members who love her so much are all talking shit to the press.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here, because I can relate. I have a half-brother, several years younger than I, on my father's side. I grew up with my mom and have only seen this guy maybe 5 or 6 times, over 30 years. We may share a last name, but i really don't know him at all and consider him a "distant relative"

R19 So: people are racist if they call out someone being fake that don't happen to white? In Meghan's case, she half. Bitch please, go away with your decrepit close-minded ass. It's how she handled it/ is handling it. And the fact she comes across as shady and fake. More stories are coming out about her that paint her more in a negative light than positive, so at some point or another, ya gotta start thinking if something is up.

When it comes to Meghan Markle Data Lounge becomes Stormfront, Reddit and Breitbart sad

I see Royal Dish started banning posters again.

All this trashy drama from the bride's side, but the Palace is having a fit about Fergie attending the wedding???

....and they though Princess Diana was high maintenance. This should be a new fun chapter to watch & behold.

Am I the only one that thinks the brother is looking for his 15 minutes.

Sure does, r22.

R21, go fuck yourself, you useless cunt.

“Oh! Some woman who I’ve never met is marrying a prince, and I’m going to assume the worst of her, just because. And it’s not because she’s half black. I have a black friend on Facebook, so you see, I’m not a racist. I’m just trashing her because she’s not talking to half siblings who are obvious grifters. If she were a white with blonde hair and blue eyes, I’d still talk shit about her. I swear!”

R27 Oh my god, go fuck yourself, you fat, useless cunt.

Of course he is R26! That's what makes this fun to watch.

(That doesn't mean Meghan isn't full of shit though.)

This is one thread where the Kathy Griffin gif would actually make sense.

R27 Darling why are you being so weird about this?? I think you need to drag your crying ass to lipstickalley. I trash talk and call out any bitch. I don't care about colour. People like you are the racist ones because you the ones who ONLY see colour. BYE BITCH!

You get money and fame, they come crawling out of the woodwork.

R31, I don’t visit Lipstick Alley, because when ever I have previously, the site is littered with THOUSANDS of gifs, like the ones you seem to love to post all over DL.

I don’t give a fuck how ghetto-fabulous you think you are, you are still a racist cunt.

Please. "I want to move to the country and open a rescue farm" = "Give me money or I'll talk to the tabloids."

I'd be surprised if the brother could produce a single picture of the two of them in the same room in the past 15 years, long before she was famous. Normal siblings can get in contact without media intermediaries to publish their letters.

R33 Who's paying you? Goodbye

Dumbfuck Harry has NO idea what he's getting into with this messy bitch. Has she ever told him the truth about anything?

Sparkle threatened the British press, and accused them of being racist, way back in 2016, before anyone knew who she was and only a relatively short time after she started dating Harry, R15, that's why they hate her. Megs' formal complaint actually threatened a free press in Britain.

In retaliation, the press are comparing Sparkle to Saint Diana, and writing snarky articles on her, because they want to piss off all the old royalists and make them hate her.

Read this, it explains it (tragically it's behind a paywall now)

R37 Thank you. Strange that she would do that when she was a nobody and when they wasn't being racist in the first place.. She seems like she would pull that shit to cause drama and make herself feel better in some way. Like the drama queen a few comments back who was throwing the racist card at me, tells you all you need to know about a person. The british press are known to be dicks though and once they don't like someone, they can destroy their reputation in a heartbeat. But Meghan is half black so anything about her now is suddenly racist..

There's no way in hell I would respond to my relatives if I were Meghan. If I was not close to you since childhood I sure as hell would not make you my problem now. Those of you saying anything different are not really thinking this through or you don't have members of your extended family you are estranged from. You answer once, it's never going to end. The only important people are her mother and father and any sibling she has been close to for her entire life (if there is one). Some people are a mixed bag, they are kind, sweet, giving...and sometimes not so much. I am one of those people. If you have not given a shit about me in all these years then go fuck yourself.

That's not true r37. It was Harry who wrote a letter to the press asking that they leave her alone. Looks like you are trying to help paint a negative picture of Meghan 37.

It's now known that the paparazzi didn't come into her house as Megs had claimed, so some speculation is that she exaggerated the stalking and the racism that she claims was directed against her well before anyone know who the hell she was in order to make herself more like Diana in Harry's mind i.e., vulnerable woman stalked by the press.

This also forced Harry to publicly acknowledge her as his girlfriend when, in fact, they had only been dating for a few months and not exclusively at that.

No, R40, beyond Harry's over-the-top letter of November 2016, apparently written by Meghan and her lawyers, there was another formal complaint made by Meghan Markle to whatever organization regulates the British press. The complaint had a chilling effect on freedom of the press. Please read the article at R37.

That woman who moderates Royal Dish seems like she's bipolar or something. She's constantly contradicting herself and she's so vicious over small, stupid things. No wonder there are only a few posters.

I think it was the way she responded, R39. Claiming she doesn't know them? Calling a half sibling a "distant relative"? That's just a poor response. Obviously she knows who he is even if they haven't been close for years. And a third cousin is a "distant relative", that's not how you'd describe a half sibling even if they are estranged.

As much as you wouldn't want to give them anything, and I agree I wouldn't want to either, paying them something and getting an agreement for them to stop talking to the press would be money well spent. They are gonna get the money either way and the DM is obviously paying them for stories so it'd just be best to give them what they want and avoid the constant embarrassment.

Can someone cut and paste from the article at R37? I can't get past some kind of paywall.

Well consider that they are okay embarrassing her by talking to the press in the first place r42. If people aren't considering "Hey this sibling of hers chose to go to the press then ask her for help even though they aren't close. That puts her in a messed up place. What an asshole thing to do. Yeah she should totally respond to them."

No. Sorry. Don't think so.

Can I cosign R19? The obvious racism of siding with her trashy white relatives who are textbook whores selling tales to tabloids is sooooo fucking Datalounge 2018.

Harry is marrying a drama queen. His Mother was a drama queen.

They obviously agree with your approach R44 and the stories are gonna keep coming. They are never going to go away. They are never going to shut up. People can recognize her half brother and sister for the money grubbing trash that they are and not blame Meghan for their behavior and at the same time not like that Harry is bringing someone with so much baggage into the royal family. Of course every family has their issues and the royals have their own dysfunction going on, but geeze, these guys are really something else and just a constant embarrassment.

[quote]Claiming she doesn't know them? Calling a half sibling a "distant relative"? That's just a poor response.

Not if they were raised mostly separately and are currently estranged for some time. Fuck off with your “poor response” b.s. You don’t know this woman and you don’t know her family. Don’t come to a gay website and try to lay some “family values” crap on us. If she says she doesn’t know these clowns that she’s related to, and who only pop up to sell stories and ask for money, then who are you to judge?

Kate, the woman who will be Queen Consort, and Harry's two most prominent girlfriends, Chelsey and Cressida, were stalked, harassed, threatened, called all sorts of horrible names by both the press and the public, and their families were as well, especially Kate's family.

All there were white, and the latter two were blonde, R45 and R19.

Except for a few old bats, race has just about nothing to do with why so many dislike Megs - a cursory glance at her history and her own social media would tell you why she rubs people the wrong way - she's a narcissistic grifter and a complete phony -you, R45 and R19, are the ones making it about race.

Oh and Megs too - she uses the race card all the time, including in the letter she demanded that forced Harry into a public relationship when she was just one of his bits on the side.

There’s a reason royalty was expected to marry into the upper classes, preferably titled. At least one knows what one is dealing with and these unfortunate family matters are much less likely and much less messy.

Harry is a gay royal and Meghan is an actress who's going to beard for him. The deal is done, and the Palace has signed-off on it.

And everything is going to go wrong. Pass the popcorn.

No, R48, YOU fuck off. It's not "family values" crap to say it's retarded to claim you "don't know" your half siblings. If she's not close to them, well then that's what she should say. Not claim she doesn't know them and they are "distant relatives."

You don't know them either yet you are posting just the same as everyone else. Asking "who are you to judge" on DL. That's rich. Lord knows we would never want to JUDGE anyone on DL! GTFOH.

R48 2011 isn't a long time nut case. That's the year the half-brother claims they lost touch.

[quote]Maybe cause she is cold, calculating and selfish.

In that case, she'll fit right in!

Clearly they did not grow up together. The brother looks about 20years older than her in the baby photo. Also he’s a domestic abuser. So screw him.

R53 That’s 7 years ago. It’s a long time to not speak to your family.

R19 is right. It’s obvious the Right wing trolls are up to no good in this thread.

"The Markle Family Saga"

You could not PAY me to stay away from this Sh*t!

(Where's my popcorn?)

Why do many of you rubes assume it's vitally important to keep ties, at all cost, with grade school frienemies and trashy relatives you haven't seen in 30 years? Lots of old friends and families are estranged....and for very good reasons. People DO grow up and move on. Healthy, high functioning people choose who to keep in there lives and who to kick to the curb like toxic waste. There should be better reasons to stay in touch with someone other that the fact that you share common DNA or sat next to each other in homeroom.

R58. You are preaching to the brain dead right wing, ill educated “Christians.” Jim Bob Duggar and crew doesn’t understand having family members that you escape from since Josh is into groping his sisters.

someone please have the tower guards on standby

and can we get a French beheader like they did for Anne Boleyn? They are very swift supposedly.

You people aren't reading the original emails her brother sent. Megan's father's first family is pure scum

Her piece of shit brother writes to his lawyer

"Just because I haven't spoke to Meg for 7 years or so since she went to Toronto for suits doesn't mean she can claim not knowing those people. Maybe she's embarrassed. MAYBE SHE WILL BE MORE EMBARRASSED AFTER A COUPLE MORE INTERVIEWS we'll see

Then in some bullshit thing he supposedly writes to Megan he talks about never wanting to be in the press again and just moving away and starting some animal rescue (his life long dream). Read between the lines on that one. Her brother is trying to blackmail her for money. How the hell else is a loser like that going to open an animal rescue?

This brother sells stories constantly (one or two times a week) to the tabloids and appears on tabloid tv shows every week. He's worse than shit on the bottom of your shoe. He's a violent, drunk, addict. Megan is very wise to never speak to him or that piece of shit half sister of hers, ever again. The Markle's are pure trash. They will only drag her down. It's best to act like they are dead or better yet, they never existed

Read the emails at the link

The piece of shit, loser brother was trying to sue the media. He's says they lied about him. He got arrested for beating up his girlfriend and pointing a loaded gun in her face. That's not a lie. He's a piece of shit. That's not a lie

Her talks about some bullshit story about how he had to "move 3 times" because of the tabloids. BULLSHIT. He has been talking to and selling stories, pics and everything else to the tabloids since the day the story that Meg was dating Harry was released. He says he's lost "jobs". He doesn't work. He's not losing jobs because of anyone but his damned self. When you beat up your girlfriend and point a gun in her face , NO ONE will want to hire you. Even that loser's lawyer says he hasn't "lost any money"

These emails are between him and his lawyer regarding their attempts to shake down his sister and even Prince Harry for money. His own lawyers says, he doesn't think it's a good idea to sue the media and won't take the case on contingency (won't help without Markle's brother paying him an hourly fee for his work) and says, "THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE WOULD WANT YOUR SISTER'S FINANCIAL HELP"

This is a shake down for money. If this were my brother I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire. Trust me, the closer it gets to the wedding , the more and more unstable, greedy and out of control the brother will become. By summer he will start to get really, really nasty in the press about his sister. I can see him getting drunk/drugged up and threatening her

And people said the Middleton are trash....

I'd not respond or talk to anyone from my family who kept going to the press, either. And the guilt trip attempt from the half brother is transparently obvious moneygrubbing.

The Meghan haters in this thread are really unhinged. Good news for her - they try to turn it into bad news. Bad news - they revel in it. Psychosis, racism, or paid trolls? Hard to tell with how fast they descend on any Meghan thread. Perhaps they are secretly in love, but know they cannot have her, so they hate her and seek to destroy her.

Have you guys considered cutting off your ears and mailing them to her? She's bound to notice you then!

I don't think the Meghan's stans are better.

Some hate her while they don't know her. Other worship her while they don't know her.

Which ones are sane?

I like Meghan, I think she is interesting, far more so than that bore Kate. This isn't any more embarrassing than Harry's father talking about being Camilla's tampon.

Major PR headache for The Firm. Many meetings and discussions among advisors and the family around this unlikely match. Oh to be a tiara wearing fly on the wall.

Not as bad as when Princess Beatrice slashed Ed Sheeran's face up with a sword. Their families are actually pretty evenly matched in shit relatives.

[quote]This is the worst and most inept way for someone marrying into the royal family to deal with embarrassing relatives. Rather than make them look bad or insignificant it makes Meghan look cold, calculating and selfish. Bad move.

Oh, please. They probably treated her like shit growing up. She’s “Half-a-nigger,” remember? Nah, fuck that. I can imagine what they said about her or to her. I would deny them too.

So much projections....

News flash: you're not MM, will never be. No need to imagine yourself in your shoes or anyone shoes.

Someone once opined that when Prince Harry became engaged, Kate would go from a limpet to a classy lady. I see it. Prince Harry is marrying someone that is not YOU, so his fiance is trash, horrible,etc. Pretty much most of the same shit that was leveled at Kate. Kate and her family are probably thankful for Ms. Markle.

So tired of the racism accusation. People talk shit about Camilla, Fergie (and her daughters) and Kate but if you don't like Meghan there can not possibly be any reason other than the fact that she's biracial? Such bullshit.

And then there are the Meghan defenders with the faux outrage. 'How DARE you judge someone you don't know on a website dedicated to gossip and pointless bitchery!"

We also have the "You're just jealous faction" which is so juvenile. Do we have more high schoolers posting here than I realized? Jealous of Meghan and her hillbilly family? Jealous that she's marrying the dim-witted ginger? Anyone who is over the age of 9 and who has an IQ above room temperature knows that being a "princess" isn't like being in a Disney movie and wouldn't want that life where you live in a fish bowl and have the palace controlling your every move even with the money that comes along with it.

I also don't think that a lot people who are saying that she handled this poorly are advocating that she try to maintain a close relationship with these people. It's more that her trashy family will continue to be a PR nightmare and the whole "ignore them and they'll go away" approach is clearly not going to work here.

They likely don't know each other personally-- they know of each other.

The second she comes into money, he pretends they're close

R73 That's how you'd describe someone you knew from work or school but didn't have any interactions with, not a half sibling.

I don't buy his version about them being super close. Maybe he was around a lot when she was really little. But I also don't buy her "I don't know them" version of things either. From what Meg herself has said and posted on her social media she has been very close to her father. He apparently adored her and she lived with him when she was in high school. So it's not too difficult to believe that at the very least she saw her half siblings on holidays, whenever they would visit their dad and at family events. So while they may not have had a very close relationship it's not like they are perfect strangers either.

I have to wonder if she called her dad and pleaded with him to try to get them to shut up?

One does not question or - Heaven forfend! - criticize Megs Markle. One submits. Silently.

Whether John or Jane Doe rejects family members for whatever reason, whether because of them being trash or John/Jane being a cold bastard/bitch is not the point. Whether John/Jane Doe writes it on a billboard or hires a skywriter is a matter of disinterest to all but anyone directly involved. Except for entertainment purposes.

But...Sparkle has chosen to attach herself to the Royal Family. I can't ever recall any similar statement coming from the Royal Family. It's mind boggling.

How inept and badly handled.

Sparkle is showing herself to be utterly clueless and keeps digging herself in deeper and deeper.

On another note, if I recall, Prince Charles pushed some of the Queen's long time people out so that his team at Clarence House could take over more responsibility. Clearly they are fumbling this whole Sparkle situation and keep dropping the ball.

These kind of stupid, ignorant, clueless statements coming from Sparkle and her attorney are stepping way, way out of bounds as far as the RF is concerned.

QEII is probably pissed. Prince Charles is probably pissed. And Harry, who referred to his grandmother as "The Boss" has probably been called on the carpet by the family and read the riot act. QEII is most probably not amused. Sparkle has probably been given a tour of the Tower.

On a lighter note, I would bet the Middletons are enjoying the whole thing and who can blame them.

It will be interesting to see how the Royal Family handles this and at what point Sparkle will be told in no uncertain terms to shut the fuck up.

In the meantime, the entertainment value of this saga is priceless.

He wants to become a Royal Hanger-On?

How many stories did he sell to tabloids about his relationship with his "sister?"

I bet there is far more to this story. He's looking for some spare cash.

He looks more like Fergie's half brother.

No one knew who he was until he started blabbing about being the [italic] Redheaded Stepchild.

I predict their first child will be named Anne-Boleyn.

Gosh I hope none of Prince Harry's offspring with Meghan Markle turn out like her half siblings.

Who is it who wrote a tv show based on her story? Ex husband or half brother?

Her ex-husband.

R72 pretty much summed it up. What gives me life is that in passing Kate appears to be GLOWING at her latest events. Markle is making her look so classy. It's hilarious.

I'm not a fan of Meghan, but I think she handled this situation correctly. What else could she have done. The brother is obviously hinting that he wants money. Even if she gave him a million dollars, he'd blow through it, and then he'd come calling again for more money. It would be a never-ending cycle. Eventually he's going to run out of stories about her. If he only saw her once or twice a year, how much can he know about her? If he gets arrested for domestic violence or other criminal behavior, why should Meghan be embarrassed? Remember the pummeling Meghan took for portraying herself to Harry as having no family. Well this guy is giving her credibility. Who'd want to spend any time with a relative like that? His other sister apparently doesn't talk to him either?

The woman appears to have a lose relationship with the truth regarding her siblings and her life history: in this E! article a source claiming to be close to Megs (and E! has been accused of being straight from Megs' mouth) says her parents were only married a year, when everywhere else it's been reported that her parents were married for six years.

Also, there are pictures of Meg with her sister at her sister's college graduation, which it looks were taken when Megs was well into her twenties.

Sparkle Sugars are also now claiming that she's estranged from her father (following Harry saying the RF was now the family Sparkle never had) and has been for years, when, in fact, Sparkle thanked her dad the year before last, and also said that Harry had talked to him on the phone last year.

[quote"Meghan was raised as an only child and split her time between her parents' homes. Her parents were divorced when she was 1-and-a-half years old and she largely lived with her mom though her parents had an extremely amicable relationship and co-parented often, having Sunday supper and taking vacations together," the insider explains.

"Samantha was not a part of that life and in no way shape or form did Samantha raise Meghan until she was 12. Meghan saw her on occasionally at family functions but never on a regular basis. For about two weeks when Meghan was 12, Samantha moved in with her dad (and Meghan was still splitting time between homes). She has seen her once since then. It's been 23 years."

It's kind of hilarious to see Meghan and her team trying to control the press when her siblings blab to the Mail.

I don't blame Meghan for wanting to distance herself from her 'distant' relatives. They all have shown themselves to be uncouth white trash.

She's marrying into the British Royal Family for Christ's sake.

I love that it's her white relatives being trashy and awful as her mum is dignified and quiet.

[quote]So tired of the racism accusation. People talk shit about Camilla, Fergie (and her daughters) and Kate but if you don't like Meghan there can not possibly be any reason other than the fact that she's biracial? Such bullshit.

I’m not sure if this was directed towards me@R69, so I apologize ahead of time if you were speaking generally.

I love when people post about how “Tired of something” they are. NOBODY gives a shit so take that into consideration and save yourself some keystrokes. Anyway, I’m speaking from experience as I have multiracial cousins and my family gave them so much shit when they were younger and they don’t talk them YEARS later. It seems logical that may be a factor here. She grew up in Compton and those family members probably grew up in a trailer park somewhere. That kind of difference NATURALLY causes issues.

It was more general R90. Someone above dramatically compared DL to Stormfront when it comes to MM? Jesus Christ. There are always Meghan fans who accuse others of not liking her because of her race when they are the only ones who bring up race.

Anyway, the growing up in Compton story is apparently not true. Her father was a lighting director for TV which I'm sure paid decently and she went to expensive private schools and her father apparently paid for her to go to college. She hung out on the set of Married with Children and was able to travel to Europe as a teen. All of the pics from when she was a kid and teen look like a pretty typical middle class upbringing, not a rough life in the inner city.

This is the gift that keeps on giving. And it will never stop. Never, unless bro meets his Waterloo unexpectedly in some convoluted manner,. A car accident perhaps.

Pay them off and in return make them sign airtight NDAs, like the rest of them do. Then never see them again. Simple.

Agree she's handled this badly, but it also doesn't appear that Clarence House/Buck Palace is giving her or her team much assistance or guidance either. And they do know how to handle this kind of thing. Makes me wonder why they're letting her hang out to dry, so to speak.

[quote] And they do know how to handle this kind of thing. Makes me wonder why they're letting her hang out to dry, so to speak.

I've thought the same thing.

Perhaps the reason is that they want to see the unvarnished version of how she will react to what will be a lifelong situation.

I am puzzled that she still is using her own lawyer to handle these things and I wonder if this is the same lawyer she used to threaten the press before. If it is, it should be no surprise that the press are jumping on all these kinds of story.

It really seems to me that she is really inept in these kinds of dealings. If you want to marry into a particular environment, in her case the Royal Family, wouldn't you do some research as to how they do things and mimic their example? They certainly have much more experience over many years.

No one has asked, does her pussy stink?

Much ado over nothing, imo. It's obvious who's reaching here, and it ain't sparkles.

Harry made his bed. I almost feel sorry for him.

Sounds like Meg likes to tell tall tales. And Harry believes her hook, line, and sinker. Dumb Harry is definitely pussy-whipped.

This marriage will make Charles' and Diana's marriage look like a tea party.

Just imagine how delighted QE2 is.

Any bets that the whole thing is called off?

'IT'S EXPLOITATIVE' Meghan Markle’s half-sister accuses actress of using humanitarian work as a ‘photo opportunity’ and ‘turning her back’ on her down-and-out dad

Lol, Meghan is faux humanitarian but her sister is crazy.

Those pics of Meg look so fake. She really is calculating. Of course the sister is nuts too. The whole family is a mess.

Less drama with the Farkles.

[Quote]She's telling everyone who she is. How she treats her family speaks volumes.

Actually, how her family, namely her older half-siblings, treats her makes her come across as resilient. It appears she's someone who has grown up in a dysfunctional shit show, but remained above the fray.

My fear is what if Meghan and Harry's offspring take on the personality and character traits of Meghan's siblings?

Throw the crazy Diana genes into the mix and those kids don't stand much of a chance, do they?

Harry's father was a notorious philanderer, who probably had a hand in Diana's death. His mother was a histrionic psychoanalyst's wet dream. Meghan's family should fit right in.

Do her trashy relatives (excluding mom here) have jobs? Do they have ANY source of income other than exploiting this woman for a few pieces of silver?

She is absolutely right to ignore them aggressively. As with all grifter parasites, you give them a hand and they take an arm. And they keep on taking until they devour you entirely.

Why now? Why didn't they keep in contact or reach out to her when she became a successful actress? Sounds like they want to get paid. Wonder what the dad thinks of his brood.

LOL successful actress.

Where did you see that?

Successful as she gets work and appears on a highly rated series so she's able to pay her bills and kerp a roof over her head, unlike you in your mother's basement.

Damn, she was a d list actress, not Angelina Jolie.

There's tons of actress like her, she's not specially successful. Yeah, she worked but she was no star.

The dad seems sane and obviously wants to maintain his privacy. The two half-siblings keep dragging the dad into it by saying he's down on his luck and could really use some financial assistance (both of Meg's parents have filed bankruptcies), that the dad paid for Meg's private school education and college and she can spend $75,000 on a dress and do all of this fake humanitarian work yet she doesn't help her dad out. That has to be really awkward for him. I'd have to think he asked his kids to be quiet and they just haven't listened.

Not sure how the brother was getting by before he started blabbing to the press but I seem to remember that the sister had a degree in social work? Not sure if she's working or not. She might be on disability due to her MS.

The Royal family is paying for the dress, not her.

Or I should rather say british tax payers pay for her dress.

[Quote]Damn, she was a d list actress, not Angelina Jolie.

[Quote]There's tons of actress like her, she's not specially successful. Yeah, she worked but she was no star.

Lol. Meghan is definitely not D list.

It must bug the shit out of you that your masturbatory fantasies about Harry are interrupted with images of him pleasuring a "stinkfish."

Her half sibs are significantly older and it's questionable how much time she spent with them if she lived primarily with her mother, as one would assume, and had weekend visitations at her father's home. The sister was 17/18 when Meghan was born and according to the article went to college. How often was she home to have this beautiful relationship with her infant/toddler sister?

She has MS and is wheel chair bound so the $850 SSI isn't going to cut it. Also notable:

[quote]Of course it's worth noting that Samantha told Good Morning Britain that she's writing a memoir called The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister. That title, she says, is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. "The title is a mockery of the media," she told the Daily Mail. "It wasn’t me who called Meg 'pushy.' It was the tabloid newspapers. She is not pushy. The book isn’t going to be negative—it’s a warm, witty, honoring book—unfortunately, the negative sing-song has gone round the world."

[quote]HER BOOK WON'T BE A JUICY TELL-ALL.

Of course not, she was a college student and young adult when her sister was growing up and well into her 40s when Meghan found her limited fame and she's admitted she hasn't seen her in 10 YEARS!. What does she know to tell besides family heresay? Well, apparently, she knows a thing or two about sociology and growing up black or biracial in America

[quote]Despite the title, Samantha says her book will be nuanced, and not just about Meghan. In that same Good Morning Britain interview, she said her book will be a critical look at race in America.

[quote]"The title is true. What is not true is this unbelievable swell that's been created that it's some sort of slamming tell-all. It's only a tell-all in that I [write about] beautiful nuances of our lives, our family home," Samantha told hosts Richard Madeley and Ranvir Singh. "More importantly, it has to do with the interracial evolution of this country through the lens of my life in my family since the civil rights act until present, and how that intersects with the recent events with my sister."

This family is dysfunctional set to level 11. The brother has a nifty criminal record and sounds like a very unsuccessful grifter who has all the nuance of a hammer falling on velvet covered anvil.

It seems like the sibs from the old family have lingering resentments that the youngest by a different mother had it better than they did and are now owed because she made it big. In the very least she should pay back the father (who didn't treat them as regally) for the expensive Northwestern education and European trips.

R118 Yeah, so she was what? A list? Only in your dream.

Who were the Sparkles fans before Harry? Where are her tv mag covers? How many awards did she get? Which respected director wanted to work with her?

I have a clue for you. No one cared about her, she was one little actress like dozens of others in a small tv show.

You can think it's successful, but she was nobody in the business.

Yeah, like a non disclosure contract would ever work to keep these grifters quiet. Only a monthly check until death might work and i reckon this is what they're after.

They have no story to tell other than some antiquated anecdotes about how Meghan was daddy's favorite. Meghan is doing the right thing by ghosting their asses. Believe me.

[quote]Lol. Meghan is definitely not D list.

99% of the population had never heard of her before she hooked up with Harry.

Ladies, ladies! Let’s not fight. She’s C-list!

But her costuming choices are A+. When she’s visiting the Darfur Orphans, she wears rags, so as to fit in, and not make them feel bad.

There are indeed people who knew who she was, even before Suits, which is a popular show. Get angry all you want, this is the woman Harry chose to make a life with. Tuff toodles!

[quote]The two half-siblings keep dragging the dad into it by saying he's down on his luck and could really use some financial assistance (both of Meg's parents have filed bankruptcies), that the dad paid for Meg's private school education and college and she can spend $75,000 on a dress and do all of this fake humanitarian work yet she doesn't help her dad out.

Adult children are not obligated to provide continuous support to able bodied parents who are "down on their luck" through their own poor choices (I'm gonna take a wild guess and say addiction).

[quote]Not sure how the brother was getting by before he started blabbing to the press but I seem to remember that the sister had a degree in social work? Not sure if she's working or not. She might be on disability due to her MS.

So she decided to be a social worker and she wonders why she's poor? Yeah, okay. How is it MM's fault this woman was too dumb to choose a more lucrative profession.

If you thought Fergie was the last word in Royal Vulgarity, you ain't seen nuthin' yet!

R125 Stop kissing her ass, we proved you over and over that she was not a successful actress.

Let it go...

Daddy won't walk her down the aisle. Prepare for a lame last minute excuse from the palace.

[quote]Daddy won't walk her down the aisle.

Well, if he does I hope someone puts him on a strict low carb diet asap, and styles him to look 'somewhat' distinguished.

Nothing will come of it. They will continue their antics and Meghan will continue to ignore them. Once she says "I do," all bets are off. Meghan's handlers will dictate what the media can and can't cover. Eventually, the public will forget she even has siblings.

It's getting better and better.

You think that the Markle family will disappear from the media after the wedding?

Hardly.

The show is only getting started.

LOL. Dream on. Upon orders, the American media will make the siblings disappear faster than Melania can say, "jess, jess, grab me by zee poosay!" How many times have people stated how classy Melania is compared to the "ape/ tranny" Michelle? Perhaps you forgot what country you're talking about.

"Upon orders"

Boris, only where you come from.

Time for your borscht break.

Shad up and have some poosay, r137.

She doesn't own them a damn thing. Once people reach adulthood, regardless of how relationships were once associated, one is on their own at that point. Choice.

Yes, "Family is everything." Fine. However, "Family is everything" until said family comes back to leech off one's achieving their own success. This is not one's responsibility or obligation to accommodate. Her family's shameless, relentless pursuit and pressure to leech off her success and happiness is why she says, "No."

I got mine; now go out and get yours. You also had the gift of Choice to do the same.

Meghan is a replacement for Diana, who Harry misses terribly. He'll come out swinging if they start to get to his wife.

Meghan's brother was trying to blackmail her into giving him money for him to stop giving interviews. He said it in emails to his lawyers. They are posted at an above link. Meghan is not using her own lawyer. She is using one that Prince Harry hired for her. The lawyer is advising to just ignore it.

Meg's step sister's own mother and daughter says she is a trouble making liar. The only way to handle them is to ignore them. After the wedding, the Markle step siblings won't have any more stories to sell to the tabloids

And regarding Megan's dad paying for her education, we don't know that. That's just that lying sister's version. If the dad did pay for it, I'm sure he paid for the sister's too. I'm sure the sister wants him paid back by Megan so that she can hit the dad up for money. The step siblings aren't that close with their dad either. If they were and they had any pictures or info about him from the last 10 years, they'd have sold them to the tabloids, like they sold everything else. The dad probably moved to Mexico to get away from them

Does anyone know what the deal is with that Gary Janetti weirdo?

Every instagram is either a picture of a random quote or something inappropriate about Prince George. He is obsessed with Meg and sound like a scorned lover but also like a creepy pedo with his obsession with George.

R2, I have family members that remind me of MM half-siblings. Not White Trash per se but see absolutely nothing wrong with answering questions very honestly. That includes giving out my personal info to total strangers including my phone number and address. Every single time they would show up to my apt complex I got a call from management that I was an excellent tenant but that they needed to be permanently 86'd from my life.

MM cannot help that she has totally uncouth, ill-mannered relatives who are much more focused on themselves than on her well-being. That's a clear sign of mental illness. Bet her dad's 1st wife was the same way. Continue to cut them out of your life MM if you possibly can do so. They obviously don't respect you otherwise they would not act in this manner. Her dad is smarter. He' avoided the paps.

[quote] MM cannot help that she has totally uncouth, ill-mannered relatives who are much more focused on themselves than on her well-being. That's a clear sign of mental illness. Bet her dad's 1st wife was the same way.

It's funny you mention MM's dad's first wife. She's actually gone on the record (in the Daily Mail) saying that her daughter (MM's step sister) is a liar and a terrible person who is just telling lies about Megan. The step-sister's daughter also said the same thing. Her brother is just as bad though. He sells nice stories, but he has tried to black mail her for money in exchange for not giving more interviews. The both of them are shit. The Markle side of the family is complete shit. Megan only turned out okay due to her Mother's side of the family

You couldn't script a better farce.

I can see it now...the happy couple riding around Windsor after the wedding encountering a group of badly dressed, picketing relatives of the bride, carrying signs like "We Love You Meg" or "Why Weren't We Invited?" or "Beware, Harry".

That's the first I've heard that the sister tried to be an actress. And she's saying that her ex is only trying to take advantage of Meg's fame?

Is there any member of the Markle family, past or present, who hasn't spoken to the press? Seems like the father is the only one. I especially love how whenever one of them comes out with some new story all of them have to take their turns responding, ensuring it's never too long that they aren't in the news.

The half brother says, "Don't invite my sons. They're Dooleys. You can't pick and choose when your a Markle"

Meghan Markle's brother says his sons should be banned from royal wedding

Tom Markle says Thomas, 26, and Tyler, 25, haven’t seen Meghan since both were tots. And he accuses them of trying to cash in on the Markle name. He also takes a swipe at his ex-wife Tracy Dooley and says of the trio: “They should not be getting any invite to the wedding.” The outburst from Tom, 51, is the latest twist in a Markle soap opera that will cause further embarrassment ahead of Meghan’s nuptials with Prince Harry, 33.

Tom, who has the same dad as Meghan, told the Sunday Mirror: “Tracy and me stopped living as man and wife three months into the marriage because the relationship was such a disaster. She never wanted the Markle name when we were married and now suddenly she acts like she’s still part of the family. “I don’t want her to have anything to do with us and the boys shouldn’t go along with it. They shouldn’t be at the wedding either. “Both boys were always Dooleys as kids. I got sick of making the name an issue with Tracy and ultimately she had her way. They’re Dooleys. “You cannot pick and choose when you’re a Markle.”

He blasted a TV interview in which Tracy and their sons said Meghan’s romance was “a fairy tale” and that they would be “honoured” to attend the wedding. Tom, who got divorced from Tracy in 2000, added: “It’s got to stop. The boys were babies when they met Meghan last and Tracy has never even met Meghan, ever. “I don’t believe Tracy or my sons have the right to call themselves Markles. If this embarrasses Meghan then I am sorry, but Tracy can’t go on claiming to be a Markle. “Tyler has been really strange with me since news of Meghan and Harry’s relationship came out. It’s like the boys and Tracy have ganged up on me.”

Was Sparkle the only one who got the grade A, high cost education?

Sounds like Dad should have spread some of that money around to his other kids.

He might not have had the money at the time to send the older ones to private school when they were young. It seems he started to make more later on.

Tom Jr. told a story about his dad having a pile of cash, $75,000, on his bed under a blanket. Of course the son asked the dad where the money came from and the dad said he won the lottery. The California lottery has no records that he ever won. So where did the money come from? Gambling? That was supposedly the money that paid for Meghan's college. Now Meg spends that much on a dress and the dad lives in a slum in Mexico.

Not missing his chance to be left out of the soap opera, her gay nephew pens a letter to Auntie Meg

Meghan Markle’s Nephew Pens Desperate Letter To Royal Bride: ‘Stop By & See Me!’

Hi Aunt Meghan,

I just wanted to let you know that I am proud of you. We have not known each other in a long time, but you have been there in my thoughts from time to time.

Ever since your status became known with Prince Harry, things have been a little bit crazy. I never imagined that I would be getting a phone call from a reporter asking what I thought about you dating the prince. I had no idea because I have not known you for a long time, So all I could say was that I was very happy for you and I thought that was awesome. I had few memories of us together that I was able to recall and the reporters seemed to think that was very nice. Never in my life had I dealt with reporters and being interviewed like you have, so it was a whole new experience for me. As you could imagine, the wide range of questions I have been asked has been unreal. I honestly did not have answers for 95% of them, but I said what I could and it was all very nice because that's what I knew of you.

I want to apologize for my Dad's behavior too. I have not had a relationship with him for the past 12 years or so until he moved up to Oregon. I didn't know much about his life or the situation he was coming from, I just knew it was not the best. He moved to Oregon and expected all of us to have a normal relationship and it has not been easy. I, since then, have chosen not to be a part of his life because he never included me in his. It's quite the personal struggle, but that's for another day. I'm so sorry he has been doing these interviews about you and your life, because a lot of what he has said is untrue. It seems he has fabricated a relationship with you and grandpa and it is just so unfair to you guys. His behavior and sense of responsibility seemed to have gone haywire and again, I apologize.

Things have been great for my husband and I. We own a Domino's Franchise in Mammoth Lakes, CA (Ski heaven of the west coast) and we have built up a nice little family of our own (no kids, just the best dog in the world). We have been together almost eight years and we could not be happier. Our life has been a tough road together at times, but we have always managed to get by and make the best out of things. We have worked really hard to get where we are at and it is only the beginning. Recently our dog Cody was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma and in an instant our lives changed. We had to make the quick decision to amputate and start chemo and let me tell you, that was a tough situation to be in. He was overly spoiled before, now he is literally the higher power we bow too (not literally, but you get what I mean). You never know what life is going to throw at you and it's all about how we confront situations. I think that's one of the reasons Ronnie and I do so well together, is because we make the best team with each other. I really think that you could appreciate the hard work that it takes to build a successful life and given the chance, I think we could really relate to one another. It's so nice to see that a lot of our family is doing well. Being happy, healthy, and successful is all anyone could really wish for. Don't get me wrong, there are still bumps in the road but that is life.

continued

My Mom Tracy and My brother and I have made such a nice family together. Now we are all starting to sprout roots our our own and it's really just nice to see our lives growing. Sadly that does not include my dad or his other sister, but you cannot ask for it all in life. Though it is probably impossible to ever really get to know each other now, I really think you would be proud of us and the men we have become. You knew us as kids, more like monsters, but you would be happy to know that we have grown up into fine adults who are always striving for more and loving life at the same time. I wake up every day thinking how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place being married to my best friend and having a business that we worked very hard for. . . . . unreal right?

All in all, I just wanted to say that I am proud of you and that I can relate to how determination and great sense of loving life can really make the difference. I know you would be proud of me too and it's too bad that our lives went separate ways, but that was no fault of our own. It just happens sometimes as unfortunate as it is, but everything happens for a reason. I don't know if this will ever reach you, but I hope it does. If you ever happen to be in Mammoth Lakes, strap on some skis or a snowboard, have some fun, then stop by and see me at Domino's. I hope your life is going well and I hope it's not to chaotic. With your face everywhere, I bet you are very busy all the time. Remember to take some time for yourself and breathe occasionally. Best of luck with wherever life takes you. I love you Aunt Meghan

Sincerely,

Thomas

Holy shit. Her family is a thirsty mess.

We all have those people, though. I’m not holding it against her.

Her family isn't Jerry Springer adjacent, they need their own episode.

Sparkle's family will attend the wedding and reception, only to bitch about how there was no Jell-O Salad or Corn Dogs.

I actually think the letter from her nephew is quite humble and well intentioned. The rest of the fam is a hot mess. To be a fly on the wall at a Muckle family reunion...

[quote] I actually think the letter from her nephew is quite humble and well intentioned.

It wasn't. He sold it to Radar online. He also sold some other stories to the media too. He also says if she doesn't invite him, he will show up in England anyway

Let the brother show up- he won't get any closer to the church than the public.

With his criminal record I don’t think the brother would even get into the country.

Sparkle did well getting away from her half siblings. They seem too awful for words and just the trashiest people. Every interview they give confirms that. I agree with whoever posted upthread that the father probably moved to Mexico to escape them.

Btw, I've never heard anyone but her sister call Sparkle Princess Pushy. That's what the press often calls Princess Michael of Kent.

No well intentioned relative writes a letter fo a tab to pubish. That is stupid. He could send it to her in care of the palace privately. They are all trying to benefit from this. These people are unbelievable. I am sure some tab will pay for them to go to England even if they are not invited just for the publicity. I would think only her mother and father would be invited at this point. And boy, will they have to let everyone know how they feel about it. Unfortunately, if they are invited they will continue to sell shit to the press, including details of the wedding.

R164 The link doesn’t work...

Woman is SO thirsty.

A lot of DM links don't work.

Harry is believed to have struck up a close relationship with Thomas Markle Snr. The pair have reportedly never met but enjoy regular phone conversations. Friend of Thomas has claimed he will walk daughter down the aisle on May 19.

He has already won over his future mother-in-law, and now it seems Prince Harry is working his magic on Meghan Markle's father too.

The prince has reportedly struck up a close bond with Thomas Markle and been making 'regular' phone calls to discuss their upcoming nuptials.

Lori Davis, a friend of Thomas, told the Daily Mirror: 'Talk that Harry had upset Tom with comments about their family aren’t true.

'He thinks Harry’s a great guy – he couldn’t have wished for a better son-in-law.'

The latest reports appear to contradict claims that Meghan and Thomas have lost contact and that he will not be invited to the royal wedding on May 19. Lori, a 38-year-old mother of one explained: 'He doesn’t plan on not going [to the wedding]. Out of respect, Tom says little – but I can’t imagine him not being invited. He’d love to walk her down the aisle.'

Ms Davis added: 'He stays to himself, but is very friendly.'

She also refuted claims that Thomas's limp would prevent him from walking his daughter down the aisle - insisting it is little more than a 'slight limp'.

It comes after the Mail on Sunday spoke to a friend of Thomas about the wedding, who said: 'He’s very excited about it.

'He’s very close to her [Meghan] and he’s very happy. All the pressure has been hard on him and he’s just trying to stay out of the limelight.’

Former lighting director Thomas, 73, is believed to have moved to his seafront bungalow in Rosarito, Mexico in 2016 after going bankrupt and lives a reclusive existence.

He previously called Harry and Meghan ‘a very good match,’ saying: ‘It’s wonderful. I’m very happy for them.’

Pictures taken last summer confirmed Harry had forged a close relationship with Meghan's mother, yoga teacher Doria Ragland; the pair were spotted deep in conversation while watching the Invictus Games closing ceremony in Toronto.

Doria and Thomas tied the knot in Los Angeles in 1979 before splitting when Meghan was six years old.

The former actress is set to marry Harry, 33, at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, in May.

MailOnline has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.

Thanks, R167

The royal sycophants are laughable. Nothing is trashier than this royal.family drowned in adultery, Nazism, paedophilia and murder.

Anyone marrying into this elitist trash is cleaner than a rubber duck.

Now we know what Harry meant when he spoke of the Windsors as being "the family Meghan never had."

It is weird that the brother and sister have been so quiet. Especially with conflicting stories about whether their father will walk Meghan down the aisle. They were taking any opportunity they could to blab to the press and even tho neither one of them are supposedly on speaking terms with their father they usually have something to say on his behalf whenever there are stories about him.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

She's a grifter just like the rest of them.

Harry is really unmarriageable... that's why they are making so many allowances and exceptions for him. All of these eligible more suitable women have all fled. There's a reason why. And Meghan, older, divorced, an ACTRESS?!?? The Queen snubbed Princess Grace's wedding because there were too many film stars there and now Harry's marrying a television star? Her race doesn't matter since Queen Margrethe of Denmark allowed her second son to marry a Eurasian woman. Bit at least the then Princess Alexandra had a more suitable background. Meghan's in for a rough ride with that crazy family and the press. She might be an adventuress but damn...

Why do you say Harry's "unmarriageable," [R174]? Because of the (alleged) illegitimacy?

No r175, because he has some obvious maturity and mental health issues...and his family is nuts - the lot of them!!!

Maturity issues, certainly. Mental health issues.....?

He drinks a lot...he is self medicating for a reason.

That's some diagnosis: completely fact and logic-free.

Just like your reason for living r179. No logic to that at all, save for the fact you might fill up a quota for pompous assholes.

ooh, snap.

Poor Meghan. It's such a trial to have unseemly relatives.

The Markles give the Buckets a run for their money, that's for sure. And how horrible that they're all trooping to London for the wedding to give color commentary to the press. Apparently the dad is somewhat phobic and ordinarily is a recluse--I wonder how he'll cope with all this fuss.

Between the leaked nude pics and the Markle family who won't show up...

How are the British public taking all of this?

This is a better photo of Hyacinth and siblings.

My partner has some horrendous relatives that we never see. His own brother has not once in 25 years invited us to his home for dinner, even when he was married. He's been to our home many times. We include him at holidays because he's alone but he never does a thing to reciprocate.

I have no sympathy for estranged relatives who have messed up their lives and then descend upon a successful person for a share in the wealth. It disgusts me. Get your own life in order and have some self-respect. People make choices in life. Some get active and strive to improve their lot, like Meghan,some others sit around and wallow in their vices and complain about and demean others. What Meghan's family is doing is akin to blackmail.

I'm British and a dyed-in-the-wool anti-royalist. I want them all out, the wealth they've hoarded returned to the people and everything we save on their upkeep to go to the NHS.

That said, I tolerate Harry more than the rest of them, at least he's likeable and does good public works.

I have no issue with her being American. I certainly have no issue with her being a woman of colour. These are positives, in my opinion, they need to expand the gene pool and better represent contemporary society.. But I don't think this marriage will last. She oozes throne-hungry gold-digger, and one who has no idea what she's getting herself into.

This is all going to end in tears.

...and Harry with no pre-nup. He'll end up living in a shack in Mexico with the Markle dad.

I agree with R174 and R186. They are giving her a lot of leeway. I can't remember the specifics, but there was an article about how she is not having to wait for some things like Kate. She seems born to the role of meeting people while wearing expensive clothes and having her photo taken. She seems to like it too much. I remember when Diana would break from the stress and in the beginning you could tell Kate found it tiring. But not Miss Sparkle. She seems to have him wrapped around her finger. The Queen seem to be in a hurry to marry them off. Could she be pregnant?

Sparkle is given protection, tutoring and already doing engagements because the RF found out it didn't work out the old way. Good for her getting that fabulous ginge cock. Plus, Harry had a great ass.

Two sides to her family: Her Mother's side and her Father's side. Notice how only ONE side came for her in a very public way, while the other side remains silent, albeit respectful. NOTICE IT!

I think everyone noticed it. How could you not?

Her Markle relatives apparently are pond scum. I can hardly fault her for not wanting to risk whatever capers they might be planning to cut.

Let's be real. Meg was spawned not too far from that pond herself. She's not completely pond scum free.

Of course she's not. But she's managed to get out of the pond, learn some social skills and cultivate at least a veneer of civilized behavior. The rest of that family are deadbeats with very limited social skills.

Gloria won't stay in London after the wedding and will go back to LA as soon as she can. I think Meghan is not really close to her or to her mother's family.

Lol at the Markles siblings. They gonna milk it again and again, she should invite them so they shut up.

I don't know those people on Datalounge.

I just assume they're all Lesbians.

Don't we all have a few embarrassing relatives we'd rather not associate with?

Nah, I don't have this kind of trash in my family.

Some on Smarkle's mom's side have told their stories and sold (or provided for free - which would make them idiots) pictures, including her mom's brother and step-mother (or step-grandmother she was just in the DM).

The RF has centuries of craziness; add the apparent inability not to fame whore of the Markles, including Megs, who is a fame whore extraordinaire, and the Harkle spawn don't stand a chance.

BTW: one of Sparkle's nieces - the one who talked to the press to say how her mom, the crazy half-sister, didn't really know Sparkle - seems to be a Satanist/ neo-Nazi with an apparently well-documented fondness for Hitler.

Lol, the niece who defended Meghan?

At least, the niece has a common point with NaziHarry and a good part of the RF.

Exactly R204. This is a Jerry Springer show. Not just a normal family with a colorful member or two.

A lot of us do, but our embarrassing relatives don't sell stories to the press EVERY SINGLE WEEK. That cunt of a half sister sold really nasty stories when news broke of Megan and Harry dating. They were terrible, point of no return stories. I guess that stupid cunt thought Harry would break up with Meg. When that didn't happen the sister changed her tune completely and said she was just joking. The half sister and that useless piece of shit half brother plan to go to England for the wedding and be commentators for some tv channel. What pathetic losers. The Markles are pure shit.

And Megan's mother's side of the family sold pictures, but they didn't say anything bad about her. Unlike the scummy Markle's, they didn't want to ruin it for Megan
