Papa Markle seems like a classic narcissist parent, doing everything short of wearing a wedding dress to elbow his way to the center of attention.

Did he though? Did he?
If her relationship with her dad is anything like mine, they planned ahead for his inevitable no-show. She never really believed he’d come through, and part of her is relieved he isn’t and she now has a convenient excuse to have her mom walk her like she really wanted all along.
Cash bars at weddings are THE WORST. That is all.
I feel like I could handle either the Princess Training OR the shitty family, but not both. You’ve gotta have at least one grounding influence. Unless being a royal is her way of distancing herself from the shitty family, and then more power to her.
I mean, in 24 hours he goes from staging photos around town to suddenly, kinda, maybe pulling out? And everyone is very publicly devastated? Sure.
I still it bad that I am SO FUCKING HPPY her shitty family is on the white side? With all the racist bs floating around it would have been even uglier.
Correct. It is the traditional joke of royal weddings.
He wasn’t at her first wedding either. He hasnt even met her groom in the two years they’ve dated. Meghan was in the States just last month and didn’t see him. I think his invite was forced by protocol. Just as well that her real parent (Daria) will get the honor of walking her down the aisle.
Bingo. It’s gotta be all about him, right? At least as long as he can make it all about him.
Doubt there’s as much kerfluffle about Meghan’s dad not going as the tabloids are milking it for. Apparently he’s had serious heart problems and can you imagine the stress being part of the wedding would be? If he was fine then yeah it would be weird him not turning up, but if he’s not healthy and collapses halfway…
I am projecting, but I have a feeling Meghan knows her father and isn’t half as ruffled about this as the gossip blogs are making her out to be. He’ll likely say he’s going at the last possible second to milk this manufactured nonsense for all it’s worth.
I hate to say it, but her white family is an absolute and complete mess. Not surprised she is estranged from them. We don’t hear much about her mom and that side of her family. Hope she has a good group of supportive aunties, uncles, and cousins on that side.
man that joke was old at Queen Victoria’s wedding
There is protocol for everything in the royal family, including the royal wedding night. The bride kneels before the prince and recites “I offer you my honor.” The prince then replies “I accept your offer.” And it goes on like that all night: “Honor, offer, honor, offer, honor, offer.”
So, it seems the only reason they want Thomas involved is to uphold some antiquated tradition of the father walking his daughter down the aisle. Because, otherwise, why would Meghan want this man—who collaborated with the half-sister whose been endlessly trashing her in the press—to have any involvement in her…
I know this was her decision to marry the freaking Prince, but I feel bad for Meghan. This level of public scrutiny (which she will have to deal with FOR LIFE) cannot be easy. She had successful C list career and flew relatively under the radar, now she is daily tabloid fodder, called racist names and every move she…
I have to work :( but I saw commercials for the wedding special on HBO with Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon and will definitely be recording it.
