Done With Daddy

[Blind Gossip] This recently married celebrity is still having family problems!

She was very sincere about having her husband meet her father. However, she asked her father not to talk to the press and then warned him three more times not to talk to them, yet he persisted. She is done with him now. He will NEVER meet her husband. He cannot be trusted. She is working with her representatives to devise some standard evasive statements to make whenever someone enquires as to the current status of their relationship.

    • It’s sad but I’m surprised they didn’t fly him in for some etiquette training right from the start… who knows if it would have worked but maybe he would have more respect for the family than he apparently does for his daughter 🙁

  5. Terrible all round. If you look at the family relationships of any other normal person that marries a major royal, such as princess Mary of Denmark, they end up estranged from their family. I feel really sorry for them, this is the end of their having any relationship and I think the dad knows it and is struggling to accept that he’ll probably never have a relationship with Meaghan again. This is the price of choosing money and power and of course love in marrying into royalty.

    • True.

      Even though Mary, Frederick and the kids come back to Australia every year or so in Summer for a holiday, that must be hard on her and her family. Also, I remember when she came back home once, she was interviewed by one of our TV journalists and she was actually struggling to speak English, that’s how immersed she’d become with her new life in Denmark!

    • Catherine is doing awesome though. She had one troubled relative but that seems in the past.

    • I don’t believe this is necessarily true. Duchess Catherine has a very good relationship with her family. The Middletons are hardly alienated. In fact they are usually included. I think it all depends on the person who marries in and how hard they. Wish to ensure they retain a relationship with their family. I don’t blame Meghan for distancing herself though, her fathers side of the family is horrible!

    • Catherine has maintained a relationship with her family after marrying the brother in direct line to the thrown. Her family know better then to run to every tabloid too.

    • kate’s family seems to still have a good relationship with kate & the others. it really depends on the family i suppose.

    • Kate Middleton was a commoner and very much has a relationship with her family. Her parents play by the rules and stay away from the press. Samantha Markle has been running her mouth to the press for months and their father said he was upset that she wouldn’t stop talking to the press but yet turns around and does the same thing. The entire family is toxic and are trying to milk this while they can. Expect them to pop up again when she’s pregnant.

    • I should clarify, I’m referring to relatives with ordinary or very low incomes – the Middleton’s aren’t ordinary, but extremely rich. And wealth has always been acceptable to blue bloods. But being low middle class or heaven forbid, poor, nope. The divide will get wider. If he was rich, they would have reached out to him, he’d be recreated as eccentric. Hideous time though for the poor girl who should just be on cloud 9 with Harry, not having all this.

    • Not sure why Kate came into the convo, bc I thought everyone b4 was trying to say this happens especially when you leave your OWN (native) culture, & marry into royalty. Kate wasn’t part of a royal bloodline, but she was still from a posh, upper middle class ENGLISH family, & came in knowing (at least) the general royal protocol, the culture, etc. She also dated Wills for YEARS, being slowly immersed. It’s much harder when ur a foreigner & had a short courtship to boot, like Meghan.

    Daddy Markle

    I can’t believe he sold his soul again, what a numpty! What’s the chances his horrid bitter older daughter had a helping hand in this too!

    Optional: If the firm aren’t willing to send someone over to straighten him out or he won’t accept help or even listen to her then he gotta go!

  9. Meghan Markle not letting her father meet the Royal Family
    She is doing the right thing. The father’s side of the family is awful and she needs to cut them out entirely.

    • That side of the family is awful? I guess you don’t know anything about the Royals. LOl. Ask Fergie. Or Diana. Oops. Read any of the Vanity Fair articles on the Windsors (not their real family name, for starters). British Petroleum is owned by them. They love destroying the environment and then running around in private jets and yachts preaching about “global warming.”
      Her dad hasn’t murdered anyone.

    • Apples and oranges. No one is saying the Mountbatten-Windsor family fka Saxe-Coburg and Gotha are perfect. Irrelevant. The Markle family has shown their true colors as soon as it breaks that she’s dating the prince. They don’t have to like it but the family members do need to respect that she has a different life than them. If you truly love someone, you don’t make it about you. These are selfish people.

    • EXACTLY. He’s been given so many chances and all he’s proven is how selfish he is. Unbelievable.

    • Exactly. That family is toxic.
      Samantha is bitter. Her brother is mentally troubled, but at least he apologized. I think the problem is that her father will not turn down money to run his mouth, no matter how much he tells his other family not to talk. The press knows that all they have to do is wave money in Daddy’s face, and his mouth spews forth tabloid fodder. Sad, sad, sad.

    • Ooh colfaxcarol, stop getting your info from Vanity Fair, they dont own BP, nor are they running around in private jets and yachts. SMH

  12. Duchess of Sussex

    She needs to cut ties with him. He has proven to be a complete embarrassment. Harry doesn’t need to met such an uncouth bum.

  13. Meghan Markle

    It’s her only choice. He doesn’t care about her that much because if he did he would have listened to her in the first place.

  15. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

    I think it’s the right thing. He needs to shut up.

  16. Meghan Markle

    Sure. Just because you’re related doesn’t mean you have to put up with crap.

  19. Meghan & Mr Markle. That’s too bad. I guess he needed the $$ from the tabloids more than the love and trust of his daughter. Stupid move. He’ll regret it.

    • yeah. He’s thinking short term and gambling that she will forgive and forget. Fat chance the rest of the family will.

  20. megan markle

    she is right to protect her husband. her dad had proven he’s insincere and untrustworthy. if he actually had good intentions, he’ll be fine with her decision instead of selling her out yet again.

  25. Obviously Megan and Harry. As sad as it is… her dad can’t be trusted. Jen Aniston had to go through the same thing. It’s tragic but there is such a thing as setting healthy boundaries in your life.

  27. Thomas Markle – Yes it’s the right decision. I felt sorry for him at first but now it seems he’s just like the half sister

  30. Meghan and Harry

    Good… get rid of the Dad and the rest of the trash. She is better off without them. Meghan has her incredible mum, and that is the most important thing.

  36. Meghan Markle

    Yes. He’s walked out on his two families, so he’s already proved his untrustworthiness long before she ever met the prince.

  37. Meghan Markle & Thomas Markle

    I get it .. just because someone is “family” doesn’t mean they aren’t “toxic” to you

  38. Murky Markle.

    I still think she’s the wolf in sheep’s clothing. After dating quite a few guys who came from “messed up families” I’ve realized they typically the odd one out and the one who’s truly the problem. Still not falling for this act, but what an Oscar-winning performance.

    • Feel the same.
      Had the similar experience. Apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree.

    • I totally agree with you. Something seems very contrived, phony and manipulative about her.

    • Her stepsister sold her childhood photos and sold a book deal; another trashed her to her then-fiancee – then backtracked and begged for an invite to the wedding; and her father traded her for his own 15 min of fame. But yeah, SHE’S the sketchy one. She went to an excellent college, has volunteered w/charities for more than a decade, and was building a business. If I’d dated ‘quite a few’ fake-damaged guys, I’d be asking why I’m attracted to them vs. projecting their dysfunction on her!

    • Agreed.
      I think Sparkle has been running away from her past for a long time. She has always envisioned herself as a princess and has now made it a reality. The pesky peasant family doesn’t fit in.
      This is the perfect opportunity for her to cut all ties while looking like the victim. She is a master manipulator.
      I still don’t buy that Princess Diana would have been smitten with her. Something tells me that Diana would have been on to her.

    • I agree. She’s pretty much disowned her entire family – even those who haven’t uttered a negative word about her to the press. Can give Oprah and George Clooney prime seats at her wedding, though. There’s something shady about her.

  39. Celeb: Meghan Markle

    No, I don’t think so. She should talk to her father but not tell him much of anything, let him do the talking. As for meeting Harry, yes, he should meet PH. Maybe seeing PH in person and talking to PH might give him more sense about not blabbing out their business. I do think the father will keep going and maybe tell somethings he definitely shouldn’t if MM and PH ignore him. Plus it’s her father, for Heaven’s sake; I think ignoring him is very poor form.

  41. Megan Markle
    It must be hard to have your family care more about 15 Mins of fame than respect your wish!

  43. Meghan Markle.

    I think she is doing the right thing, it will certainly help her remain in the good graces of the royal family.

  46. Meghan Markle

    Her “family” are truly disgusting. They’re going against her wishes and speaking to the media for a damn check. Before she met Harry they didn’t care about being involved in her life now all of a sudden they want to make peace and come visit her?… especially her dad, he claims the media is on his back but he’s running to give them what they want. This is sick and extremely humiliating. she’s doing the right thing because it’s gone too far

  47. Meaghan Markle

    Unfortunately her dad appears to value money more than Meaghan. It is her only option. Maybe through this he will learn to blab.

  49. Celebrity: Meaghan Markle
    Optional: She did the right thing. Her family is crazy!

  50. Let it go Meghan Markle, let it go!

    Think of how this looks from the outside for one minute…none of your family attended your wedding except your mother so why continue the facade of having any sort of relationship with your father? Forget about the “evasive statements” and ignore the whole situation…trying to control the appearance of that relationship to try and put yourself in a favourable light is only going to bite you on your arse…

  53. Seriously, it’s her only option. Take a look how quickly the embarrassing spouses are taken down by The Royal Family.

  54. Meghan Markle

    If her father can’t resist talking to the media for the sake of her daughter’s marriage and happiness, then yes it’s the right decision.

  58. Meghan markle and her loudmouthed family. She’s absolutely right to cut them off, why feed them more stuff to tell the media?

  59. Meghan Markle Mountbatten-Windsor is in a tough spot. But, it’s obvious, her father cannot be trusted. Why do I think her half sister is pulling his strings? She’s been suspiciously quiet recently.

    • I thought the same thing. Samantha has been too quiet, I think she is the puppet master.

  62. Meghan
    Cut him loose. He cannot be trusted. There is nothing else she can do. He will probably record conversations and sell cards she sends (complete with her signature/autograph) to the press.

  63. Meghan Markel

    Optional: that’s for her to decide. But it seemed like they bungled the whole thing up with her father from the beginning. Some more support from the beginning may have seen this play out differently. Yes, her mother was fine, but her father was already a bit of a recluse and seems not as well.

  65. Megan Markle and her loudmouth dad who says he won’t talk to the press and then goes on to do exactly that.

    HINT: Obvious, plus the little girl in a tiara with her dad.

    OPTIONAL: I’ve got no love lost for Meg, but if I’d asked him a number of times to please not talk to the press and he persisted, I’d also minimize contact.

  66. Duchess of Sussex (aka Meghan Markle

    Unfortunately he cannot be trusted and he’s all about the Benjamin’s. IMO she is doing the right thing.

  67. Megan Markle, again.

    It’s almost as if she’s loving any and all attention, even negative. She really is reveling in the victim role, and the monarchy seems to push it, too.

  68. Meghan Markle…the drama never ends

    I suppose it’s the right decision for her. She seems to remove people from her life pretty easily. Didn’t she dump her second husband by mailing him her wedding ring?

  72. Duchess Meghan
    No, not the right decision. He could be developing dementia. Fly him over to meet Harry. Do it in secret and have him driven to their home. He is her father, maybe not the greatest, but still the father. Even children who had ruinous fathers from alcohol, drugs, or terrible family dynamics still mourn the loss. I don’t know if I would trust a woman who has no empathy for an old, sick man who fathered her and once had a good relationship with her.

    • Agree

      This is the guy who allegedly aided her rise. Paid for veneers, acting lessons, etc.

  73. Celebrity: Meghan Markle

    [Optional] Is this the right decision? What else could she do?
    I do not trust this whole situation. I don’t like opportunists (one ALMOST) ruined my life & I sense that there is one here. I hope I’m wrong.

  75. * have been (Like many state, I hate auto-correct but I’m also very sick right now so maybe it’s a sign for me to not further comment!)

  77. Markle

    Her father will get even more mad and won’t shut up. Well Harry, get ready for more * storm!

  78. Celebrity: Meghan Markle

    Optional: It is a difficult situation – I would make sure her father had extensive media training and understood the expected royal protocols. Having said that, both Dad and daughter understand Hollywood/ celebrity protocols and know that all publicity is good publicity.

  79. Meghan Markle

    She has no choice. It’s a sad day when you can’t even phone a dad, without them calling the media. The sister from hell probably has Thomas Markle’s phone and house tapped, in case she makes contact.

  80. Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex

    It’s a shame that her father refused to honor her wishes. I hope they can work something out so that he can meet his grandchildren, if there are going to be any.

    • I do wonder though, the last blind said he asked for his permission and her dad asked him not to be abusive, for me that shows they have good basic relationship then why the father’s being like this? It doesn’t add up to me

  85. The Duchess of Sussex. (the previous Meghan Markle)

    Yes. She’s doing the right thing. She’s gone above and beyond for this very toxic Father. It’s a sad, heart break. But alas! What a gorgeous reward in her new husband The Duke of Sussex. I don’t envy her new life and its restrictions. But Harry seems to be an authentically great match for her and her for him. He is true. The Father. Not.

  87. Meghan Markle
    Yes, she has to do something, but I wouldn’t stop calling just don’t tell him anything. Say hi love you and bye pops talk to you later

  88. Celebrity: Meghan Markle

    [Optional] Is this the right decision? What else could she do?

    No, she should stay silent because it’s a mess, she should have introduced Prince Harry to her Father ‘before’ her wedding, it could have prevented this. Though I don’t truly believe he was ever intended to meet him. It’s clear she isn’t close or cares too much for her family. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, she did press where it was unprecedented for any royal girlfriend to speak out…

  92. I have watched and read it all caus i am a Suits fan, i think she is doing the right (but very hard) thing, she must be sad that her dad is not doing what is good for his kid, just like her other family..

    I think she has to choose for herself now caus they are NOT in her corner AT ALL!!
    She has her strong mom like most mom’s ( i know not all) she stands by her daughter has her back is in her corner!!
    That’s what she needed from her dad, but they are all to egomaniacs to see that..

  95. Megan Markle
    Her dad has no respect. He is making money off his daughter and embarrasing her and English Royal Family in the process. I think he is not fully aware of the magnitude of the damage and dangers.

  96. Celebrity: Meghan Merkel

    [Optional] Is this the right decision? What else could she do? : They should have arranged for all her key family members to have media and etiquette training before the marriage went ahead.

  97. Meghan Markle

    Nothing, he’s backed her into a corner. Hope the money is worth it…

  98. Meghan Markle
    She just needs to go away. The Queen is going to regret this marriage.
