What even happened between Megan and her father

[@The_EclecticSkeptic]

I have found myself embroiled in the royal circle drama for some time now, and I must admit that my initial perception of Meghan Markle was positive. However, I have come to realize that there is much more to her character than meets the eye, and unfortunately, it is not for the better. Allow me to elaborate on some concerning incidents that have raised doubts in my mind. One incident that struck me was when Meghan Markle attended a reading with children from underprivileged backgrounds, many of whom were fatherless. While this initially seemed like a noble gesture, she arrived wearing an expensive dress and read a book that portrayed her deep affection for her own father. This choice of attire and book seemed insensitive and self-serving, raising questions about her true intentions. Another incident that deeply troubled me was when she reportedly ousted grieving families of Texas shooting victims from the cemetery in order to stage a photo opportunity of herself placing flowers on a grave. This occurred while her own father was battling illness in the hospital. Such behavior is callous and lacks empathy. Furthermore, I find it contradictory that Meghan Markle frequently complains about her desire for privacy, yet she willingly invited Netflix to document her life. Additionally, there have been instances where she has been accused of contacting the paparazzi for personal gain. These actions raise concerns about her authenticity and the consistency of her values. I must also express pity for Prince Harry, although he too has shown questionable judgment. As a young adult, he dressed up as a Nazi, which was deeply offensive and inappropriate. Moreover, there have been instances where his actions have caused his brother to miss important moments, such as the Queen's final moments.

[@mirrorballgirlie]

I could never even imagine such negativity and hate towards a CHILDREN’S BOOK promoting diversity and love. If these people were this passionate about issues like global warming, racism, sexism and/or any and every type of discrimination I can’t even imagine where we would be now.

@@girlmonday2941 are you so shallow as to only see the skin color and not what lurks behind it? I think not, so why don’t you give people some credit for being the judges of character ? What people see is a total hypocrite, who is cruelly dismissing her own father, thrashing the family of her husband, who caused a rift between her husband and his father. And YET preaches about the father/son relationships. By the way, people do not like Harry just as well and he is white last I checked. So stop pulling the racist card when it is not due. It’s totally disrespectful to people that face the real racism in their lives.

You know, the way Meghan Markle pulls at her father's heartstrings when she wants her letter to him published (written in ridiculous flouncy handwriting, for historical purposes, of course). And the way she honors and respects Harry's relationship with his own father - destroyed because of her. How long before she ruins the relationship between Prince Henry IX and his surrogate son?

[@sarahwinston7828]

@@plum7t I AM a grown woman, with many decades of experience and perspective to draw from. I, like millions of others around the world, easily identify Markle for what she is. A fraud. She has no respect for others' relationships, certainly not between fathers and children, nor fathers and sons, in particular, Harry and his father. Their relationship was functional before he met her, and now it is nonexistent - but for the abuse Henry hurls at his father, brother, stepmother, the deceased Queen's entire family and institution. Her relationship with her own father mirrors that malignant, manipulative tactic, so typical of narcissists. So, tell me, *what* relationship experience does she bring to the table when instructing other people how to bond with their fathers - or sons? Neither of them knows a darn thing about that. They are both fundamentally destructive and emotionally selfish and cruel. That you fail to see that indicates a major blind spot in your own judgement. And no, I am not embarrassed, so you may save your false concern for your therapists' couch, should you ever choose to get help.

British people hate her cos she's such a hypocrite. She and harry moved away to America and gave up their role as royals because they wanted to stay out of the public eye and live more private lives, apparently, but then they went on Oprah and are getting netflix deals and are basically doing the direct opposite of staying out of the public eye. They went on Oprah to slander Harry's family whilst his own grandfather was seriously ill in hospital, and told several lies throughout the interview such as that they secretly got married prior to the public wedding (they didn't, the priest who they claimed married them privately has come out to say that it never happened), and they complained about how Prince Charles had stopped sending them money after they quit the royal family, oh boo hoo daddy isn't giving his millionaire son money any more boo hoo.

They can’t read that sorta stuff hence there being childrens books. “The military soldier looks like harry but he never was in the US army” what if its not him but just some military father, and even if it was harry why should it matter?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard tbh. She's in the wrong for using royal money, she's in the wrong for making her own money.

As someone who has had to sever ties with their family, I really appreciated your kind and understanding words on the matter, especially the comparison to an appendix that's hurting you and needs to be removed. I haven't had any family since I moved out at the age of 18, and people never understand. I'm 26 now, and I still have to suffer people saying that "family is family", as if I wanted to be completely alone in the world out of some sort of misplaced lack of appreciation. No, those people abused me, so they had to go. I would love to have a father, but not one who regards me as filth that doesn't deserve to be alive. From what I've seen of them, Harry and Meghan seem like really nice and intelligent people, and I can relate to her so much. I'm not from the UK, but I've seen enough British media posts on her to be deeply shocked by how they were being treated, so when they announced they we're going to leave, I saw it as an absolute win for the both of them. I'm genuinely happy for Meghan that she's found a kind partner who is a good father to her children. Maybe I'll be even half as lucky as her, because I hope to have children one day as well.

I know exactly how you feel. I have also cut ties with what was left of my family. Abuse is abuse. You don't get a free pass simply because you raised a child.

Even before I cut ties with my family I had to learn how to be alone, self-sufficient, and care for myself in so many ways. I have a chosen family who loves and respects me and I couldn't be happier. You're strong for doing what is right by you.

I mean, yes, it is made for parents to read it aloud, but a bigger font size would have made it a learning book as well for the kid where they can read along.

I'm happy that she wrote this book, alot of media has a very negative view on fathers, just look at The Simpsons, we've had years of negative views on fathers that it's normalised to a dangerous degree.

I absolutely cringe when watching shows like The Simpsons(which I almost never do). My father finds it hilarious and loves the show. We don't have a good relationship

[@JiminBts_JayEnhypen]

True

[@js66613]

The Simpsons isn't really that bad a show. Yes, homer screws up as a father a lot, but the show acknowledges this, and the jokes are on him, not on anybody expecting him to be a more present or loving father. There are episodes where he really does become a better father - but being episodic, the show usually returns it's characters back to square one after the episode. Granted, the more recent episodes aren't as good, but it's not a terribly show and I don't think it promotes bad parenting or toxic masculinity. Maybe you haven't actually seen the show, but I have... it's really not as bad as "woke" people make it out to be now.

[@ayelen2492]

Isn't The Simpsons a satire of american culture and "tipical american families"?

[@killitwithfire5377]

I mean I agree, but the simpsons specifically was a parody of classic american sitcoms where the father was the wise head of the house and everyone, including his wife, looked up to him. The simpsons recreated that idealized family structure in a more grim way. Of course, this context is lost to time and differences in cultures and the simpsons now has helped create this very negative stereotype of a father

[@CarriUSA]

@hello hi the world and you need to get off this racist agenda and rants...besides wanting to teach the children ( indoctrinate). So let’s get this straight here. Meghan is 30% black, with a mixed race mother. She is primarily Irish . She looks white and grew up privileged and spoiled...all private schools and wasn’t lacking i any way. Meghan never embraced her black roots...she ignored them. Their children is all of about 15% black....they are white basically and will grow up privileged, not for want. The boo sucks in regards off using their royal status, it is not a children’s book....not a story meant for children with the imagination and learning that provokes a child’s mind. It is a story about Meghan, through Meghan’s eyes and it doesn’t rhyme and uses words children do not identify with. As all say...it should have never had made it to the publisher. Enough with the race card and shame on you or anyone for provoking it. The world is done with this false ideology. FYI children are not born racist and don’t look at children in that light...it’s radicalized adults ( aka BLM , CRT, Teacher’s, and bad parents ) that breed the hate.

[@Soundless_life]

@@CarriUSA I wasn't saying anything about the world being racist. Also Meghan and her child (I don't remember his name) have been discriminated against, just for being partially black. It is also baseless of you to say that the book is wrong because it allows inclusion with many different races. Children are not born racist, but might feel left out if the only children's book only mentions being fully white and fully black instead mixed. I also think that you're the one bringing racism into action, because all I mentioned was how it's a good thing that a children's book is addressing different races. I am also assuming that you haven't read the book, so you can't judge the book (even if you watch someone review it) until you've read it yourself. I'm not sticking up for Meghan in any way, I'm not that involved with the royal family in general, so when I wrote my comment it had nothing to do Meghans position in society. I just happend to like the thought of a children's book being more inclusive to allow society to be more oppen for mixed kids.
