Little Ms Sparkle simply expected her impoverished father to show up fully suited and booted for her big day. All these years that she has been making the big bucks, has she ever thrown any his way? I'm sure the tabloids will soon inform us. If true, the idea that she is only now trying to salvage the situation about who will walk her down the aisle three days before the wedding is a disgrace on her, and says nothing good about Harry, either.
The Palace ruined it so badly with Charles and Andrew's marriages, in no small part because they apparently have no natural EQ and failed utterly to consider the actual human dynamics of the persons marrying in. In the old days, royalty just beheaded unwanted spouses or in-laws. So I guess this is progress, unless you believe the rumors about what actually caused the wreck of Princess Di.
With all their money and free time, why didn’t Harry and Meg fly to southern California at some point to meet Meg’s father? They could have met him in San Diego or somewhere close to the border with Mexico and not had to worry about security in Mexico. Harry supposedly has not met her father to date.
