Analysis of Markle Family Interview | Is Meghan Markle Justified in Cutting Off Her Family?

[@gnas3390]

Whether you are a fan of Meghan or not, it's probably best to keep your family conflicts private instead of hashing out your problems on a public platform.

@Nana I am not a fan the gruesome twosome BUT taking family matters to the world stage doesn't seem like the solution. It's as if harry and his wife have drug her family down to their level.

[@laurenr1417]

Something that you said, paraphrasing, was that, "if Meghan did reach out and talk to them, (her family), they would certainly speak out to the media, which would affect her reputation, etc. For those reasons, she can't trust them, so she probably shouldn't do so. " Mmm...sounds somewhat familiar, doesn't it? Isn't that how the Royal Family have come to feel about Meghan? They have to worry about video, being recorded, misinterpreted, misquoted, their family privacy violated, etc., and have concluded that it's best not to open themselves up at all by keeping her at a distance. Also, exactly what reputation does Meghan seek to preserve? Most people see right through her and have nothing but disdain for that manipulative, narcissistic, vile woman.

[@gregsmith141]

​​​@@arinerm1331metimes it is but me and my wife slowly cut off most of our families. When your life changes and you suddenly have alot more money than you did your life changes then your life really changes. You can't fully trust people that are around you because of money. For years me and my wife struggled with our businesses and our family's would barely talk to us because they said we were always too busy for them so they didn't have time for us. We didn't ask them for money or to work for us but they always seemed to act like we owed them. Then after about 7 or 8 years of struggling with the businesses something changed and they all took off like they were tied to a jet and then we went from very little money to too much to spend and then we did offer family members jobs but they all wanted a percentage of the business just to work there instead of a high paying job. We wouldn't do that because they wouldn't have nothing to do with us before so why now when things are great and you want most of our livelihood to be pieced out just for you to have the highest paying job most of them ever had. So we talked and agreed that we don't need greedy fair weather friends or family. So yeah cutting of friends and family doesn't always equal a red flag because sometimes it's a necessity.

[@Gilberto90]

​@@gregsmith141 I doubt the British royal family are begging Harry and Megan for cash or a percentage in this situation - it seems to be the opposite.

[@tomaseire]

Interesting how Harry publicly proclaimed, how MM now has the family that she never had. Then his aging grandmother, HRM Queen Elizabeth, God rest her soul, and indeed his whole family had to face the nonsense of allegations made to OW in relation to family talk about the colour of Archie’s skin! It’s no coincidence that Harry is now alienated from his family. Dr. Grande should note Thomas Markle’s hurt and there is no excuse for not speaking to one’s parents.

[@caramelbilquees]

Look at the Royal family Harry sold lots of personal information about William, Charles and they have never cut him off they really love him you can tell. Thomas Markle spoke to the press once and she cuts him off and forgets him like he never paid for her acting lessons?

Dr. Grande, you don't think it's in the least bit odd that M Markle is estranged from basically ALL family, markle side, and Royal Family side? With the exception of her mother? That's a WHOLE lot of people to have burnt bridges with. Ive know since her royal wedding, where only one family member was present, that she was bad news.

[@sallyrobertson1687]

You got one thing wrong , Thomas sr sat on that letter for six months , and so she had her “five anonymous friends“ leak the parts of the letter that made her look good to People magazine , he then divulged some of the letter to the mail to clear his name ! Apparently there are many extremely nasty accusations in the letter that Thomas has never shared

[@TabithaJones-rg9ig]

I think the parts of the letter he didnt reveal "because they were too hurtful" possibly contained reference to his sick predilection for very young girls (he spent all his lottery winnings on drug parties and going to Thailand for child prostitutes). My analagy is that he is a p%do and Lady C referenced that she had been told that he compromised Meghan. Lady C didnt believe it...,I do.

[@Sara-706]

It hurt when Dr. Grande seemed to mock Thomas’ bad money habits. Thomas blew all his money putting Meghan into the best private schools, dance classes, early cosmetic enhancements, etc. Yes that was a bad investment. I didn’t see any anger or contempt in his expressions or words throughout the whole episode with the Markles. He seemed genuinely sad and bewildered. He has had no way to contact Meghan to talk privately. She did “kill him and mourn him.” So did Harry. When she met Harry, she had already concocted a fake sob story that she had no family and put herself through school. I agree with her half sister when she stated that Meghan lied about her family and her upbringing to win Harry over. This isn’t the first time someone tries to hide their past or embarrassing family in order to create an image of themselves that looks more impressive. How much have we heard from Meghan about her father? It’s okay for him to defend himself. Unfortunately for Meghan, her father isn’t dead yet and can still speak. Dr. Grande does very thorough work, but not this time.

[@Jlim8668]

Totally agreed. Thought Dr had been unbiased in all his reporting, except this time. Not sure why, I am stunned.

[@clararob9869]

Wow so many people cannot see narcissist family dynamics. A good father would NOT go anywhere near the press, from day one. Kate Windsors family managed to stay out of the press for 15 off years, Megan's father has a direct line to them. He is vile and clearly betrayed her for a quick buck. There is no money in the world worth hurting your daughter for a GOOD FATHER, I'm no MM fan. She is fake but her family are level 10 and she is level 5. Vile the lot of them.

[@Iconic58]

Money management is money management. How does it become Meghan’s fault that he supported her as her father as he should have done. The implication is all of the 750,000 was spent on Meghan and no one else and that would be a falsehood. Meghan nor her mother have never publicly addressed the fall out from the senior Markles marriage or where his money went so this commentary is speculation at best.

[@KateWoodehouse]

Just an FYI about that 'dear daddy' letter. Thomas only released parts of that letter to the media after several of Meghan's friends told People Magazine parts of what that letter said.

[@chanelv5373]

Exactly! Also the media were swarming him and saying very negative comments. The poor man has had a heart attack and now a stroke (he should not be traveling by himself). This whole debacle could have avoided of Harry would have met him before marry MM. Most people would not be able to handle the scrutiny this man and also Thom Jr and Samatha have had because MM married a prince. They needed assistance to navigate the press. So I blame MM once again to not warn then ahead of time and help them. She’s been in the spotlight by her own doing, her family hasn’t been. Remember MM didn’t invite her mom’s side of the family either and they all said they were hurt by it in an interview.

[@deedsh6280]

And when writing it, she knew it would be 'leaked', so we had the language deliberately designed to 'pull at the heart strings'. (her own words). The family may be iffy, but I'll put their stack of spin up against her documented 'forgetting/multiple version stories like not knowing anything about the Royals', including in a coutroom when she forgot she 'helped' with Finding Freedom after she said she didn't. I forget lettuce..she forgets helping with an internationally released book. I get a bit of saying M didn't fall far from the tree, but when you seek to destroy, don't be surprised when your family fights back.

[@ms.shineray]

So, it's understandable her half sister would be extremely upset with her. Her father did everything for her, sent her to the best schools, best dance lessons, plastic surgery. She ruined her own family, as soon as she got a hint of fame. Fame, her father had a lot to do with. She's a spoiled brat. She had her mother at her wedding, not family, not many friends (if any) but a TON of celebrities. Some she barely knew. It's the MeAgain show! Just the way she wants it. She made a ton of money bashing her family in interviews. No excuse for that. She's no better than anyone in her family. They're all still together! Without her. They're better off that way.

She made herself out to be a poor victim and said she worked hard to send herself to school, etc. She didn't. Her father spoiled her and paid for EVERYTHING including her college tuition. Her family isn't perfect definitely but I have no respect for someone who preaches compassion but has no trouble turning her back on her family and lying about them for money.

A shady character and a hustler from early on. Harry thinks MEghan is just like his mother. But in reality, MEghan is exactly like HER mother.

Odd how the “paparazzi” guy who published those infamous pics of Thomas Markel in Mexico was the same photographer who published pics of Meh… turns out he was part of her PR circle… coincidence? Remember TM was approached in MEX to stage those pics- big mistake to agree to it. It seemed like a setup to make him look bad from the start. Also strange how no one talks about Doria disappearing n the extended Raglan family.

I think the family is very hurt, especially Samantha who has been personally discredited by her sister in the public domain. I feel Samantha is angry about all of the money Thomas Snr spent on Meghan and how spoiled she was by him. When Samantha was growing up her father was still building his career and could not afford to give her what her younger sister got. Samantha seemed to be holding back a lot in this interview. If Meghan was a decent person she would not have lied about her upbringing and discredited her family. She started this breakdown not the Markles.

Just a couple of things. Thomas was getting paps following him around, taking pics coming out of a liquor store and generally disheveled, portraying him as a drunk. He wasn't but felt he was embarrassing Meghan. He reached out, asking for help about how to deal and was told to ignore. A pap from Backgrid reached out and convinced Thomas Sr and Samantha that a few nice photos of him looking at books about England and looking at her on the internet would show him as a dad excited about his daughter's wedding which would help rehabilitate his image and reflect better for Meghan. The pap leaked that Thomas was paid. The same pap and Backgrid frequently take pics of Meghan. Yes, he needed money too, but he was trying to improve his image. When Meghan asked him if he was paid, he was embarrassed and lied. So she cut him off. Even though she does paid pap strolls and lies about it all the time. Meghan wrote "the letter" at the suggestion of the late Queen and the Primce Charles. and it came out in court that she wrote in an email to her assistant in the RF that she would call him "daddy" in the letter so if it was leaked it would "tug at the heartstrings". It didn't leak for a while, so several friends of M leaked content of the letter to the press (who told them the contents? Hmm?). It was then Thomas leaked the entire letter. I think the guy keeps falling into her traps and making it worse. Remember Harry wrote that M booked her dad a first class flight out of Mexico on Air New Zealand to the UK to lay low before the wedding, but he refused, saying he had other things to do. And that would have been the accepted story if Air NZ hadn't come out publicly to say they didn't have first class and didn't fly to Mexico. Thomas' comment of 'I wont let her bury me" is a direct response to H's book where he said something like "she mourned the loss of her father". Sounds like she has buried him to me. Samantha wasn't just upset about the only child comment (I'm part of a step/half family dynamic with big age differences and there are better ways to say that age gaps created a different family dynamic) Meghan also said, as noted, that Samantha changed her name back to Markle to capitalize on the royal wedding, which was demonstrably false by several years. Plus M claimed that Samatha lost custody of her daughter when she surrendered custody because of her disabilities. Samantha lost clients and recieved death threats. So I'm not so sure it's all jealousy there. I'd be ticked off too if my sibling used a very public platform to sic her sugar squad on me. Because you may think M is not engaging, but she's got her little army out there threatening the Markles and wishing despicable things on the Wales (especially Catherine and Charlotte because, you know, women supporting women). All that had to be done was for M and H to have the RF office reach out to the really naive Markles and guide them a little about the coming storm. And for Meghan to not invite her siblings or aunts and uncles on either side of the family because she'd "lost touch" doesn't come off as a valid excuse when she had dozens of Hollywood celebs who stated they never even met her. Also her first husband announced at their wedding in front of her mom and dad that he and his family would now be "the family M never had" which was the exact same thing Harry said in his book. So I think the Markles have been trying to defend themselves from this no good family that was never there for poor M story. Graceless? Sure. Making money? Why not? But not the villians in this story. (Edited to fix typos).

I have a ten year old boy from my previous marriage and a toddler and baby from my current marriage. My ten year old loves his siblings a lot despite the big age gap. I cannot imagine the absolute heartbreak he would experience if my toddler and baby claimed they, toddler and baby, were the only offspring. Like as if he didnt exist. I imagine my ten year old would be absolutely shattered. Whats worse is that my ten year olds biological dad was never really around much and so the family he grew up knowing and loving was my now husband and our toddler and baby. My heart break just thinking about it. Meghan is a monster.

[@ladameeidolon]

Absolutely with you. Thank you for your excellent comments. Thomas only released a small amount of the letter. I believe from what he has said on previous occasions that much of the letter was cruel and abusive. He didn't release those much larger parts of the long letter, and he could have. Dr. Grande's utterances clearly show that he does not have a comprehensive knowledge of her outrageous behaviour. This family have made mistakes, but unlike Ms Markle, they own up to them. Thomas spoiled his daughter rotten. A devoted Dad. Where was her mother for all those years? In jail, allegedly. Thomas forgave all Doria's illegal exploits, paying to help the woman who ruined his business. Dr. Grande hasn't looked at all at the family background. He paid for Doria to help her even after all the terrible things shed did to him. Ms Markle's a fantacist. She's a somatic narcissist. There's a plethora of appalling lies, a bot army.. outrageous financial exploitation of the Royal Family. Bullying a small child, Charlotte...even at her own wedding Charlotte needed to be protected from her. If a person has no family at her wedding...run for the hills. Seeing the wedding set alarm bells. We already knew the havoc she was wreaking within the Royal Family, with the staff. You have to live in a bubble not to know this information. She can't even keep up with her own lies! Good God! How could he not spend a few more minutes more on the internet. I suggest the good Dr. needs further research in order to be accurate. Ask us for some pertinent links. He slayed the Bud Light debacle... brilliant. This, I was extremely suprised and very disappointed.

I don't understand how you can ignore the fact that Meghan never introduced Harry to her father.

None of us are perfect parents, but we love our children and are terribly heart-broken when they ignore or even hurt our feelings.Can you just imagine being cut off completely?

Hello, two points in addition to your very valid observations. IIRC, about ca. 18 months ago (around or even before the Oprahcle) Lady C made some allegations about the ALLEGEDLY *for legal reasons™* disgusting stories RR told H, so that H did not even want to meet Mr. Markle Sr. before the wedding! In my book RR perjured disgracefully against her father to keep them apart for good. TMK H AND RR also did not follow the suggestion of the royal household offices to let them prime Mr. MSR to the impending media attention, but told the officials that they themselves would handle the situation - until it was too late, and MMSR had already stepped into the trap, IMHO set by his cunning "darling daughter" ™. Most of this to my experience has vanished from the easily accessible information channels, but I remember very well when all this stuff was daily news. RR is a dangerous person, and more so with a loose todg-, ahem, gun in her hands. This is my opinion, and also I think that this time Dr. G did not have all information properly collected and appreciated.

So many people dislike Meghan that they eat this stuff up. My guess is that she would love to publicly respond to rip her family apart and of course, play the victim. And say, oh by the way, people dance in the streets and cry over how great I am.

[@MusgraveRitual]

I wonder if in the past royalty would only marry other royalty/aristocracy in part to avoid situations like this. At least then they knew in advance how many crazy uncles and obsessed stepsisters the future bride/groom had for generations back. This way, just marrying any random person, it's anyone's guess who or what will crawl out of the woodwork.

[@mirianakovachevic748]

Yes, that was the reason. Even ordinary people were more careful when choosing wife or husband back in the time. It was important to check them out.

[@wendybond2848]

She must be quite cold to not contact her father after his stroke, and deny her children their right to know BOTH of their grandfathers.

[@michellebastiani6470]

Smfh. Wow 🧐 really??? I think that Samantha was 100% correct when she said nutmeg would still be a waitress if it wasn't for their father. My biological father beat my mother so badly at seven and a half months pregnant that she had to have an emergency C-section due to the beating he handed out that particular day. In which I went into distress and wrapt the umbilical cord around my neck and when my mother got to the hospital they couldn't find my heartbeat. I am now a grown woman, that is married with three children and happy. My biological father continued to scar my childhood with traumatic abuse of every facet. But ten years ago I forgave him, and I forgave him not for him but for myself. He has access to his three grandchildren with a once-a-year vacation and weekly video chats. At 4 years old my mother remarried and for the first time in my four years on the planet I had a father who didn't scream at me didn't hit me didn't punish me in cruel ways. He was my stepfather from the time I was three and a half years old till the time he put a bullet in his head after he lost the business and our home. I was 13 years old when that occurred. So my stepfather, my second chance at having an actual father ended with him choosing to end his suffering but my mother and I we're left with nothing. No I take that back we were left with plenty, plenty of questions and for me the feeling that I wasn't important enough for him to even remain alive for. Millions and millions of people in this world go without a father or they have one that is absolute toxic waste. But Meghan Markle had such a loving and caring father, but just like most all narcissists that I've ever known the second he was of no use to her any longer she threw him out like trash. I really don't give a care what Samantha or Thomas Jr have to say, but to watch that man in that condition practically begging to just have one more conversation with his youngest daughter was beyond heartbreaking. Her mother was missing in action for over 10 years, and in that period of time over a decade it was her father that took care of her in every way shape and form possible. Yes I can agree that the stage paparazzi pictures were tacky and vulgar, but in what world is it okay for her to do anything and everything she feels she needs to do in order to climb that "ladder" but her father isn't allowed a single slip up??? I sit on the other side of the screen watching her father speak and I could only dream of having a father that cared for me a quarter as much as this man did for her. Amazing private schools, dance lessons, all the bells and whistles that a little girl could want on top of him paying for her freaking college too. Smh. Since I've been paying attention to Harry and Rachel for the last 2 years I have contemplated in my mind whether she is just a severe narcissist or if she also shares some comparisons to a person with antisocial personality disorder. Honestly out of all of The harotld and Fraud videos that I've seen in the past few years this one has to be the most outrageous I have ever come across. It's actually a very very simple answer when it comes down to it and the answer is her family simply wasn't good enough for her and the person she made herself to be. You couldn't have her family come in and have them tell the royal family that everything she's been saying since the day they met her is utter lies. At least until she has guaranteed herself that she has greener pastures to graze in.

Perfect assessment. Megan is identical to my ex wife who is a diagnosed vulnerable narcissist... she wouldn't let me meet her friends or family (to hide her lies from me) and completely cut ties with them, she attempted to start problems with my family to isolate me from them... identical to Megan's actions.

The shortcomings of Meghan’s family members are certainly not more severe than her own. She’s a thoroughly poor excuse for a daughter, but excellent at pointing out all of the character defects of others. Her particular brand of self-centeredness leaves no room for anything like normal family relationships. Isn’t it funny that Meghan can be found at the center of unhappiness now for TWO families on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean? I’m sure that it will be the fault of her father, or his father, or somebody’s blasted father when she becomes forced to dump Harry for the sake of her mental health!

[@JJJJJJ5076]

I think if Meghan was still an actress and had another network show better then Suits, the conversations with the Markle family would not be known. The abandonment issue wouldn't have happened. Meghan is scared what comes out of her family's mouths and keeping her distance helps build the wall around her. She has a "Brand" to sustain and her family is not supportive. Her mother keeps her mouth shut unless it is supportive of Meghan. Hence, their relationship is still intact.

[@alisonj9533]

Perhaps analyse research more. Check out HG Tudor for a critical analysis on MM and how Thomas Markle was snubbed and blocked unable to contact his daughter prior to marriage! No invitation sent, no accommodation nor flights provided, no suit fitting organised and the man is living week to week! How do you think he would be feeling at that stage, let alone not able to make contact, hearing and seeing reports of the upcoming wedding you are meant to attend but have no information on? It was obvious he wasn't coming, i too would be embarrassed as hell not knowing how to behave when youve been publicly written off and how humiliating to watch the charade on tv seeing another man give your daughter away.

[@natalielawyerchick]

I think her family needs to just leave Meghan alone. Whoever is wrong or right, it’s over. Leave each other alone. Stop talking about each other. No one is winning in this situation.

[@chrisward1691]

Sure her family are not perfect, but she shares genes with them AND her mother's family. Instead of acknowledging that as part of her identity, it seems she has gone through her life fantasizing another history for herself. And she keeps on revising that self-history to suit current trends and goals she is chasing. Until recently she was able to get away with all the lying, but now that she's on the world stage her lies have caught up with her. We know what her family has always known - you can't believe a word she says.

[@sweetpea6843]

Sorry to say, but you got this one so wrong.... Meghan wrote the letter with the intention of it being leaked to the media, (this came out in her court case with the Mail on Sunday). But after several months of her father not leaking it, she had her friends leak it to People magazine.... It was only after that incident, that Thomas shared the letter with Mail on Sunday... Also, it's been proven that Meghan was being the press hounding Thomas to take photos to clean up his image! He told them no, over and over again.... He finally gave in.... The photographer is the same photographer who takes all of Meghan's staged photos for the paparazzi...

[@ellescott2680]

It seems to me that Meghan has started this public display of family dysfunction. Her family would not have felt the need to go public had she not started this. Regardless of how her father has mishandled the press, he is still her father. After his heart attack & strokes, it’s rather heartless that Meghan has not shown any concern for her father & reconciled with him. Life is too short to carry on this estrangement. Her father has not met Harry and she’s kept his grandchildren from him. Also, heartless. Many families have issues and yet they manage to work through them for the best interest of their kids. One day her kids will be unhappy that they never got to know their grandfather, regardless of his faults. They don’t have to be close but she should suck it up and be a good daughter, at the end of her father’s life. Yes her family has gone public and been unflattering to her, however, she doesn’t have a leg to stand on to hold that against them. I believe that she is embarrassed by her family and wanted to distance herself from them. She could have stood up for him before the wedding. She should have understood that the paparazzi play dirty and cut him some slack. I don’t blame her family for wanting to tell their side, although they could have been less harsh. Her father was speaking from a place of hurt.

Thomas Markle was a good father and MM wants to paint him as a bad person and she’s lying about him by saying her mom raised, when her mom disappeared for years. He may not be the best father but she should be grateful for him not abandoning her. So sad.

Meghans' mother wasn't in her life for much of her childhood, but now she's the only family member she acknowledges. Meghan dumped her first husband as soon as he'd served his purpose. She would have made a beeline for William he hadn't already been taken. She orchestrated everything surrounding the meeting with Harry. If it wasn't for her father, she'd have ended up in care, with no education and no career in acting. Ungrateful doesn't even describe this narcissistic woman, and whatever his faults, he doesn't deserve being frozen out of her life

Well that was thought provoking…. I’m no fan of Meghan purely from her actions (not family related) and attitude towards other people. It’s plain to see she is ambitious and egotistical, however she is married to Harry who is only the ‘meal ticket’ to another life. A royal life. I don’t agree she’s had a hard life. She saw there was more to be had by being manipulative etc, etc. Not a marriage made in heaven, more a marriage of convenience and a bank roll.
