Why the debacle surrounding Meghan's father would never have happened if Diana was still alive
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 16, 2018 | Sarah Vine

Every bride finds the final days in the run-up to her wedding rather fraught. It doesn’t matter how meticulous the planning has been, something always goes awry.

That said, poor Meghan Markle seems to be having more than her fair share of pre-wedding stress. At a time when all she should be thinking about are last-minute finishing touches, she and Prince Harry are having to deal with a full-blown family crisis.

At the time I write, it’s uncertain whether Meghan’s father — 73-year-old Thomas — will fly to the UK for Saturday’s royal wedding following revelations that he accepted money from a paparazzo to stage a series of cheesy pictures.

After his conduct was exposed, the poor man — who is clearly not in the best of health — was so mortified he decided to pull out of giving his daughter away on her big day. Last night he appeared to have had a change of heart.

Her family has all the class a Kartrashian would show.

Agreed. And that’s why this is a five-year marriage at best.

I really don’t get what he sees in her. I’m sure he could do a lot better.

They should have seen this coming.

Meghan wisely wrote off her wretched siblings and their big mouths, but she should have looked out for her troubled dad.

When Harry chose to marry a plebeian, he made sure to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

I disagree with the author. Diana would not have made this situation better. If she were alive, she’d be right in the middle of it, seeking attention and creating more drama.

My mother used to work at a bridal salon. The owner always said that groom’s mother should wear a beige dress and keep her mouth shut. Diana could not have done that.

Harry could have had any woman in the world. He picks this trash?

The UK is fast becoming a Fascist State and the Men over there are busy beating each other up over Soccer. Screw the UK.

What trash would that be? He picked Meghan Markle - she's behaved with perfect dignity and class so far. So has her mother. Trash would be her white half-siblings, who are busy trying to exploit every ounce of her success and fame.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle do not look like a couple.
His brother and his wife do.

The lack of knowledge on the subject of P-Whipped on this board is astounding , Harry just isn't very bright when it comes to women. I don't care how wonderful she is. I've read she has been married twice already. That's some powerful P. Sometimes that P completely Numbs the brain and shuts down all reason and makes a man deaf, dumb and, blind!!

The Charles-and-Camilla relationship, making a fool of Diana, started the ball rolling to turn the royal family into a trash heap.

If only Charles had behaved himself, not expressed his desire to be Camilla’s tampon, ended his affair with her, etc., he could’ve kept it classy. Diana began married life pretty innocent and wanting to do the right thing, so if she went off the rails toward the end, it’s hard to blame her. JMO.

Remember the insane rumor that the Brit secret service arranged her death to prevent the royal family from having Muslim kin folk if she married DoDo Dodie Fiase? Now the bastard prince chooses to marry a kaffir. If his bimbo mom were around would she show up at the broom jumping ceremony in a burka?

While I don’t defend any of Prince Charles’s behavior, the pairing of him and Lady Diana made no sense and was doomed to fail. The age, educational, and intellectual gaps were enormous...and, of course, that Prince Charles continued his relationship with Camilla didn’t help.

I am betting the marriage makes it for life...BECAUSE, in part, Meghan's family is such a disaster. Besides the fact that they seem in love, what does Meghan have to back to? Her birthfamily is a disaster; she has no money of her own; she's about to be married for the second time; any babies she has (at her age) will be with Harry...and she'll never be allowed to take the royal children out of the UK.

Turns out several of her Suits co workers are attending the wedding.

“What trash would that be? He picked Meghan Markle - she’s behaved with perfect dignity and class so far. So has her mother. Trash would be her white half-siblings, who are busy trying to exploit every ounce of her success and fame. ”

Yeh, for sure. I predict that once the wedding is over and past and the couple are allowed time and space to settle in Meghan will fill her role just fine.
