She didn’t kick him out, he bowed out to avoid the attention he would get on the day. Personally, I think he is a coward; in bowing out with the bs excuse he gave about having a heart attack, he has passed the buck to Meghan. Apparently DM had a PI/pap on his tail all of last week. There’s no way he had a heart attack…

Yeah I don’t understand what they expect from her. Is she supposed to pay each of them like a million dollars and invite every single extended family member (who probably trash talked her behind her back her whole life) to a 200 person wedding comprised of the most aristocratic members of British society??

Kate’s uncle was a notorious partier with an infamous mansion in Ibiza called “La Maison de Bang Bang” who got caught bragging on tape in a press sting about his links to the palace and offering coke and prostitutes before Kate’s wedding. He gave a tell-all in2013,

Sometimes you don’t see family because there was a blowout, sometimes you don’t see them just because you don’t contact each other that much. This seems like the second version.

Both Meghan’s mom and Oprah have debunked that rumour.

I can’t think of anything I’d rather do less than spend weeks leading up to a wedding with in-laws. One week is quite enough!

As someone with some garbage family members, you always hope that the important ones (like a parent) can get it together long enough to be there for the big things in your life. But big events are triggers for the worst behaviors it seems.

Except selling staged pictures to the paparazzi isn’t really “out of his depth.” It’s not like he showed up with the incorrect waistcoat or something. I mean, he had to know that’s selling his daughter out. Or at least trying to cash in on her and that’s sad for a parent.

Except that he called TMZ to tell them he wasn’t going to the wedding instead of letting Meghan and the Palace handle the announcement, which seems really weird to me.

I think Meghan likes both her dad and mom, so would want them both included and walking her down the aisle tends to be a Dad Thing.

Concern over my family embarrassing me is the only reason I never married into royalty.

I’m thinking Mr. Markle won’t be attending the wedding due to shamelessly monetizing his relationship to his daughter health problems.

Fuuuuck, today is rough. Last summer my dad shot my mother and then himself. This is my first year without her. We were having a rare fight and hadn’t spoken in 5 days and the last text I have from her is “I guess I’m not supposed to have feelings.” All I want to do today is hug her again. Just for one minute. And…

I love it. It’s like Kate and Wills showing up 7 hours after the birth with the baby to say, “Here’s your photo op, paps!” The Daily Mail and other paps have been stalking this guy since the engagement was even a rumor, usually painting him in an unflattering way - hermit loser, rather than average American retiree in…

Well, children of the orange, anyway.

*gasp* the name of OUR sex tape!

The backstreet boys cold open alone should have earned them another season.

I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine but I’m baffled by all the people saying the show’s quality has stayed the same over 5 seasons. It’s still a fun world to visit, but it’s in full-blown Parks & Recitis; there are almost zero stakes, almost all attempts at realism have been thrown completely out of the window, and the…

You didn’t go through customs, you went through passport control. Because Ireland and The UK aren’t a part of the Schengen border free area.

Not sure who made this map, but there are literally millions of colors to choose from, so why would we choose 4 shades of green (including some incredibly close shades) for every single category?
