Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex have been extremely quiet since Christmas. Harry was seen on the royal Boxing Day shoot, and Meghan allegedly joined the Queen and Duchess Kate for lunch with the shooting party. But after that, Meghan and Harry either went to their country estate rental in Cotswold, or they went on some kind of babymoon out of the country. We know when they’ll be back though – Meghan and Harry are due to make their first 2019 engagement next Monday, the 14th. They will spend the day in Birkenhead, Merseyside, where they will unveil a plaque honoring poet Wilfred Owen, then meet with veterans and women recently released from prison.
All of that would have been thought out and coordinated and planned very specifically. Unfortunately, they still haven’t found a way to control Meghan’s rogue relatives. Thomas Markle decided to spend the first weekend of the new year sh–ting all over his daughter and her husband. Thomas sat down with The Sun for what I can only assume was another paid interview. You can read the nonsense here – he doesn’t make any sense, and I actually laughed out loud a few times because Thomas is either the most illogical man in the world, or he’s the thirstiest. Or both. This is the section that made me laugh:
“This whole thing should have been one of the proudest moments of my life. Now it’s like a dream that has turned into a nightmare. The royals and Meghan can help end this nightmare by simply giving me a call. To this day, I cannot think of anything I’ve done to deserve how I’m being treated now. I’ve been a good father I’ve done nothing wrong. Axe murderers kill 19 people and their daughters still come and visit them in prison. It’s just incomprehensible for Meghan to treat me this way.”
“I’ll keep talking and I’ll probably get louder. Meghan and Harry’s silence empowers all the crazy tweets and insults against me and my family.” Thomas admits he has made mistakes in the past, but said he is keen to make amends. He also hopes for an eventual first meeting with Harry. But today his message to him is: “Man up and get over it.’ If I’m the first person who’s insulted you or hurt your feelings, you’ve got a long way to go. He’s human just like the rest of us. I feel that he feels he is above everyone else and that he has a right to talk down to people. And I cannot accept that. It feels like arrogance.”
“To this day, I cannot think of anything I’ve done to deserve how I’m being treated now,” he says in his 20th paid interview in the past year, after he and his unhinged daughter organized paid photoshoots with a paparazzo ahead of the wedding, even though Meghan and Harry warned him about all of it. He could have been brought into the fold. HE f–ked it up with his lies and his instance on selling out his daughter. For the British papers to still give him money for these exclusive interviews is just…bad business. It’s also “helping a toxic parent publicly abuse his daughter, who has made it clear that she wants nothing to do with him.”

“Axe murderers kill 19 people and their daughters still come and visit them in prison.” This blew my mind. The axe murderers didn’t sell out their daughter for fame and fortune. He honestly hasn’t learned that the more you shout and run to the papers, the more you will be shunned. At this point, for me, there would be no way I would ever get in touch with this person again.
If your entire argument is that “Well at least I am not as bad as an axe murderer” you should maybe stop and take time to reflect on your actions, this yahoo won’t do that though. He does not care that he is hurting his daughter.
Lol right?
Yes! Exactly!
Thank you!!!!!! This f*cker is ridiculous.
Came for this. Was not disappoint.
Could we get a list of axe murders with loyal, prisonn visiting daughters tho?
Ax murders are so 19th century. And do people still kill with axes??? I need receipts!
Would a pick-axe do?
I saw an episode on ID on Sunday where the mother convinced her daughter to kill the father with a pick-axe.
@bluesky – yes, people still do. Axes, hatchets, sledgehammers. Oh and mortar & pestles (not only for grinding spices, apparently).
A royal prince, arrogant??? Well I never!!!!
(but seriously though the whole “if I’m the first person who has insulted you…” is just ludicrous. I thought Markle wasn’t insulting anyone????)
I can’t help but think this is the first time the Meghan has actually properly ghosted him, even Doria isn’t talking to him and IIRC he always had Doria as a way in to get to Meghan when they were estranged in the past.
On top of that he has nothing new to sell or say so the paps are losing interest – the only rag interested in him is the Fail and that’s because of that vile creature Piers Morgan who has his own reasons for attacking Meghan and Harry, like how dare she not kiss his ring.
She will never ever let him in her life again, after all he has done he can never ever be trusted – she has her unborn child to protect. He is a poor example of a man and one that I know I wouldn’t want around any child I had.
Now we can all see why Doria kicked his fat ass to the curb.
@DU, perfectly said. This story is so 2018, so boring. Let’s stop contributing – hopefully coverage of him will disappear, it’s not even ‘news’.
I imagine that the Duchess discovered Morgan’s history re hacking scandals and dumped him faster than a cockroach-infested salad. Morgan is the nadir of journalism: he puts the “trash” in “tabloid”. He and Pa Markle have a lot in common: all bruised narcissist ego. Boo-fucking-hoo, as we say over this side of the Pond.
OMG just shut it!
Right????
Signed,
The World
He really should be on Scotland Yard List.
give it time and might as well add Pierce
Why are they still interviewing this man?
Why indeed?! How many ways are there to say “Shd won’t talk to me.” It’s just the same nonsense, over and over.
I cannot even imagine what this must be like. I have been totally estranged from an immediate family member for 8 years-I (and I shouldn’t have) read a psychiatric report where they said a lot of harmful, negative things about me while trying to downplay their own issues and I honestly felt rage. I am a very placid, mellow person and I was angry for days.
To have your father going on months later, I just can’t fathom it. It’s so sad for her.
How much are they paying him for all these interviews I wonder? If I was Megan in this situation, I would never speak to him. I have a similar father, I don’t speak to him unless I run into him somewhere, sometimes on holidays or special occasions. This Christmas I was going to go see him at my grandparents house on Boxing Day, but than my in laws wanted to take my daughter to go see family friends. They have three youngs daughters that my kid adores and I didn’t want to say no so she went. My dad called my sister who lives in a different province, he complained that he never saw us and I never called. My sister said “You have a vehicle and a phone, you could’ve called or went down to see them”. His reply, “I never thought of that.” He’s a narcissist who constantly thinks of himself, and never seems to consider anything else but how things effect him. He’s always the victim.
There’s a Blind item out there that he gets paid $10K, cash.
$10k? So assuming a modest $5k/month lifestyle he’ll be doing this every two months?
That is so trashy. You take ten grand to keep selling your daughter out. Despicable.
By now I’m convinced that Thomas must have been a horrible husband and father. I would not be surprised if he had committed verbal or physical violence.
I think he has an unhealthy obsession with his daughter that a psychologist would love to dissect. He is not normal.
He sounds more like a stalker than a father
She’s not a person to him, but a possession. He “made” her. She “owes” him. The wedding was about him. The grandchild is about him. Everything is about…him.
He apparently made many demands before the whole pap stroll setup was exposed – he wanted to bring an entourage and expected the RF to pick the whole tab up, he demanded to make a speech at the ceremony in the church; things that he has admitted to in his many paid interviews. I think one of the reason he refused to go to the wedding and faked the heart attack was that he expected her to drop everything and go run to him when that happened he turned nasty and the attacks started. His real problem is that in his mind she chose her husband over him and thats unacceptable – thats whats really got a rocket up his ass and why he is hell bent on ‘punishing’ her, she wouldn’t let him manipulate him. He’s been banging on and on about them coming to him, he’s never ever made any effort to go to her – tells us all we need to know. He has no control over her and he blames Harry for that, hence why he is so bitter toward the Prince.
Well considering both his older kids have had run in’s with the authorities for domestic abuse there must be some truth to this – Scammy has had almost all of her kids removed from her care (they live with her mother) and wasn’t Jr recently involved in a domestic incident with his partner (I think she was violent to him).
Not sure about Doria and from what Jr has said, Doria kicked him out after the cheating (he was paying for it in the Philippines when married to her and Meghan was a baby) and the drug use (he was a coke head).
Now his ex-wife must have a few stories to tell about him and I often wondered what went down to make the 2 oldest not speak to him for several years before Megs got with Harry.
Your comment got me thinking. I’m actually kind of surprised that some enterprising radio DJ’s haven’t called him up pretending to be a senior member of the Royal Family. A person could have a lot of fun with him while pretending to be William or Andrew or even Paul Burrell.
I think after the poor nurse committed suicide after the Australian team did that during Kate’s pregnancy that DJs are spooked by that sort of thing. Rightfully so
When he told Prince Harry to “promise never to raise a hand to my daughter,” that said an awful lot about this vile human being. I’ve no doubt he’s been violent before. Also the way he talked about Kate “popping out a kid,” well what does that tell you? He expects to get a call from “the royals,” does he? Meghan and her dad have been estranged for much of their adult lives. This is not new; his behaviour around the wedding was the final straw and now it’s just more of the same garbage. Bye. I think he is dead to her and he just does not get it.
Why would it even occur to him to ask for such a promise unless he lives in the kind of low-rent world where raising a hand to your wife is a likelihood? And asking this of HRH Prince Henry of Wales — as if Harry had a history of beating women!
This man will not go away as long as there’s a payday, and there will be a payday as long as his appearances on GMB get good ratings.
If they ever reached out to him, he wouldn’t know what to do because that’s not his goal. He is making a career of being the outcast and wronged party. He and his vile daughter are not interested in a relationship with her. They want access so they can continue to sell her out.
Yes and no. To me it’s ALWAYS been about access to the RF to sell them out and/or mooch from – Meghan has always been their way into a fantasy royal lifestyle. Daddy wants direct access to The Queen, he is obsessed with meeting her – he thinks they owe him (money, access, a title – it all) simply because he is Meghan’s father.
I wonder how much time he spends studying the Middletons and seething. Invites to all the weddings and royal events, fancy clothes, giant houses, glowing front page interviews, etc. Never mind how or why they have it, that’s exactly the life he thinks he’s entitled to live too.
He could have met her, been invited to tea, been treated very well by then if he’d only GONE TO THE WEDDING.
Spot on. He’s discovered a gravy train in these paid interviews. Being brought into the fold would cost him money. He may get access, but for what? I don’t imagine many people in his Mexican hometown would care.
@Bluesky ITA. If for some reason Meghan ever decided to start speaking to him (never going to happen) and he got his wish of meeting the Queen (never going to happen)….then what? He would have nothing to do.
His whole life is playing the victim for $$.
This is just an “appetizer before the main course” folks. Wait until Meghan has her baby, the tearful interviews and pleas to see the baby will be off the charts. Thomas (and Samantha) are just warming up for more attacks on Meghan.
Oh God yes!!! This is just the prequel.
OMG what if they wait outside the Lindo wing (or wherever) for the whole “show the baby” thing??? Cant you just imagine him giving interviews as the press waits for baby news?
How horrible.
Now that I’ve typed that I bet there wont be any “show the baby” or if there is it will be in a VERY controlled setting.
Becks1, how the press has trashed Meghan. I hope they don’t show the baby.
Thomas is just so terrible. Keeps saying he hasn’t done anything to be treated this way. He can’t be serious.
Thomas I know you and Samantha love to see what’s being said about you so I hope see this.
You have betrayed your daughter’s trust. That’s why you’re where you are now. Your ex was given the same instructions as you, her name was dragged through the mud like you claim yours was, but Doria listened to what Meghan and Harry said, and didn’t engage. You made the situation you are now dealing with.
Telling the world private conversations and collaborating with people(tabloids) who have been terrible to your child just since the wedding alone shows how much you don’t care for your daughter and I hope she continues ignoring you.
He’s just on replay now. “Either speak to me or I’ll get louder.”
Wanting to meet your son-in-law by calling him arrogant is certainly a winning approach, right?
Growing up my dad was an alcoholic with rage issues. As bad as he was, he would have never have sunk as low as Markle has…selling one of his kids out to the press. Meghan is completely justified in ghosting Markle. He has proven himself too toxic to be part of her or her child’ life.
He is so mean, why does he keep hurting her. The gutter press is giving him a platform to continue inflicting pain and embarrassment. I no longer read those articles as he is dead to me too. Now we know why Harry said she enjoyed spending Christmas with the family she never had. A mistake on his part, for sure. that is what I believe riled up the estranged family.
What an idiot. He contradicts himself. In the first paragraph he has done nothing wrong. But in the second paragraph he has made mistakes, admitting to insulting his daughter and her husband. Of course, it is all good and they should just get over it. My guess is he has been treating his daughter like crap for years. This just happens to be the first time she has completely cut him off. Now he has a public platform to further shame her and spread his woe is me narrative.
This mess is laughable and now the royals are at the point at eyerolling on the interviews. Have you noticed Evil Papa Smurf has not defended Sam on being on the fixated persons list, saying it’s wrong? I think this interview is a distraction as well as his tell all book about Meghan. Now that Sam is on Scotland Yard’s radar she’s damaged goods to a legitimate publisher (if she wasn’t before that happened). I think the royals have something else planned for Bad Dad. In the meantime Sam is still fighting people on Twitter saying Meghan wouldn’t be in the world if Sam wasn’t in the world. Yep Scotland Yard made the right call on Sam.
” In the meantime Sam is still fighting people on Twitter saying Meghan wouldn’t be in the world if Sam wasn’t in the world.”
How does that even make sense?? God, that woman is delusional.
What say what now???
Has Scotland Yard identified him as a threat?
“The royals and Meghan can help end this nightmare by simply giving me a call.”
He’s still extorting them. “let me in or I’ll keep talking”. The truth is that if he were “in” his talking would accelerate and be even more damaging. Ghosting him is the only way to go. Same for Samantha – who is truly psycho in her behavior.
He has control issues. If someone tells him what they want/ how to do something he purposely won’t do it that way and blames them for wanting it that way. They react and he doesn’t like it? We all know people like this. Please order 20 boxes specific item and they purposely order differently and say the did not misunderstand, but think their opinion even if incorrect was right. They have no explanation since the office doesn’t even have the type of printer/ stapler /equipment they ordered the incorrect supplies for!
Oh, Gm, I know exactly what you’re talking about! Aggravating, ain’t it?
I can’t wait for his inevitable attempt at character rehabilitation on Dancing with the Stars. His dance partner will call him a “big teddy bear” and in his first post-dance interview with the host he will refer to being “misunderstood” and he just wants to make his daughter proud of him. He’ll then be the first one voted off and spin it into an expose about how unfair the show is.
It could happen; this is a show that had Bristol Palin.
Classic narcissist with tinges of sadism and would be machiavellianism. Narcissists cannot, cannot STAND being ignored. Their sense of grandiosity/superiority leads them to conjecture that the entire world owes them listening time. And the more they’re ignored they louder they grow and the more unhinged. (I spent many years with a narcissist: the signs are painfully obvious.) If they’re not love bombing, they’re threatening. If they’re not threatening, they’re dissolving in self pity. Or becoming insulting, abusive, childish. They have no moral compass because they have no Morals. They’re a shell, an outside image they present to the world (aren’t I fabulous?) and internally, emotionally stunted and self-loathing. There is no behaviour they won’t justify.
The RF’s response has been impeccable. You have to cut out Narcissists as if they were cancerous tumours. They’re always looking for a way back in. Soon enough, he’ll self implode or the world will stop listening. His cheerleaders now only dwell on the Daily Heil and the Express comments pages.
Sucks to be him, I guess.
I was married to a man who has been diagnosed with NPD and a borderline personality disorder. I’ll admit I haven’t paid much attention to TM but out of curiosity I listened to this interview. I don’t see narcissism with this man. Keep in mind all people have some narcissistic traits. I see a man who is “desperate to understand” why the silence from his daughter continues. She has given speeches and interviews praising her father, plus she asked him to walk her down the aisle and he was silent for a very long time after the engagement. The pictures of him getting measured for a suit were super tacky and so is talking to the media.
Then you missed his “she owes everything to me. I made her the duchess she is. She would be nothing without me.” from this summer. You missed him calling her and her mother “uppity” this summer. You missed him lamenting that he regretted missing the wedding because HE missed out on a piece of history. You missed him deliberately sharing personal conversations, personal letters she sent over the years with the media. You missed him telling the media that she gave out marijuana at her first wedding. If you can’t see the narcissism you need to get your eyes checked.
Your examples arent necessarily narcissism. You don’t have to agree with me. I’m not emotionally involved in this matter. Its simply my personal opinion based on my experience with someone who actually has been diagnosed. Keep in mind we all have some narcissistic traits. One of the most telling is wanting to be the centre of attention and delusions of granduer. Considering he was silent for so long leads me to believe there is something else going on. My eye site is fine thanks.
@Lanne Don’t bother, TORI doesn’t like Meghan so she’s just sprouting the same nonsense folk on the daily fail sprouts. They NEVER see Thomas as what he really is but see Meghan as the narssasist. Just look at her past posts!
well never mind then, Tori. I won’t bother with you anymore.
I agree with you Tori. Thomas Markle is an awful, selfish human being and his daughter is right to cut him out of her life based on the behaviour we’ve seen, but I don’t think we can armchair diagnose him as a narcissist. It is a term that is thrown around too easily – I’ve noticed that any celebrity that is disliked is labelled a narcissist these days.
@Bohemian, actually I’m ambivalent towards The Duchess. I don’t fangirl people I don’t know personally.But thanks anyway for being mean.
The Narcissist’s Prayer:
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did…
You deserved it.
Meghan has no doubt learned through bitter experience that saying anything at all fuels the narcissistic fire. Any action or inaction on her part is seen as justification (not that they need it) to continue to mouth off to the press.
They are horrible.
Exactly! Best comment re this mess I’ve read so far. That’s exactly what I had to experience with both my parents. That’s exactly why I had to cut them out of my life….and every cut hurts, but every cut can possibly heal….. Poor Meghan! I unplugged my phone, changed number, informed my inner circle and hid within my save space of friends…. Meghan, on the other hand, has to deal with a myriad of strangers who think they know it all, courtiers, racist dumba*** and the worst tabloids of the World.
She is smart. She has real friends. She is resilient. But all that doesn’t make the cut less hurtful.
I wish her all the best. Amen.
You made a brave and painful decision for the sake of your sanity and a chance at a happy life. All the best, @Greta.
That prayer hits the nail on the head!
YES! Exactly.
LOL at the “World Exclusive”. This isn’t exclusive nor newsworthy anymore.
Ok, 1. Why is this Harry’s doing? It’s clearly
Meghan who has cut him out.
2. There is a quote from Tombstone that applies here. I can’t remember the exact words but something about the bad guy being mad at the world for being born. TM and Samantha will never let Meghan forget where she came from or that she is one of them. Instead of being happy for her and enjoying her success, they need to bring her down so she knows she isn’t better than them. They would rather wallow in their misery and make her miserable too. It’s an astonishing thing that is being played out on the world stage.
“I’ll keep talking and I’ll probably get louder.” – this is nothing but a thread. A horrible, obvious thread. If I were Meghan, I would panic. Hell, I don’t know that poor woman or this complete creep but nevertheless this sentence gives me breathing issues. The horror of it.
Why would she be scared? He knows absolutely nothing about her life and can’t possibly hurt her any more than he already has. Nothing left for him to do but throw racial slurs at her and her mom (yes, I expect him to sink that low). There is only so many times he can ask her to get in touch with him. People are already bored and tired of the same-old-same with him and Scammy. He is old and sickly; Scammy is already in the process of mental and physical deterioriation. All Meghan has to do is wait these two clowns out. Karma will take care of them.
If anyone should be scared its him- she has highly trained professionals around her protecting her, he has his McDonalds wrappers and beer cans. At some point the RF will do something about him and his skeletons will be outed, so far they are respecting Meghan’s wishes to ignore him but that won’t last. If he and Scammy start attacking the baby then it will be open season on their fat asses. At some point you know one of them is going to say nasty things about a child.
Even on the Fail (I peeked) a lot of the commentators have turned against him. Comments on twitter are against him. He’s wearing out his welcome. How much more can he really have to offer? The marijuana story was a really low blow. I read it as a “I’ll hurt you in any way I can if you don’t give into me” move. How many more stories like that does he have? He hasn’t been a part of her life in a major way for a long time. Unless he out and out lies, there’s not much more mud he can sling at her, and it will be the Queen’s great grandchild he attacks if he attacks a baby. He’ll be on the Fixated List as well if he isn’t already. He probably is and Scotland Yard doesn’t want to tell him. I really wish he would make the mistake of being interviewed by a real journalist instead of a tabloid hack. He’s got serious skeletons of his own.
I don’t think he has any more stories on her of substance because IMO if he did he would have spilled. The marijuana at first wedding did not end up as much of a story. Maybe he will resort to making stories up but the problem for him with that, like the marijuana story, is there isn’t proof. Sure a few people come out of the woodwork but not with photos of M holding a joint or anything, and even if they did I don’t think today’s society cares much. M strikes me as keeping her stuff locked down, not that she hasn’t done stuff, she may have, just that she is pretty good about keeping it quiet.
This quote stood out to me:
“If they ever want to speak to me, maybe I’ll quiet down a little bit”
So he’s not even pretending that he’ll stop speaking to the press if Meghan reconciles with him – just that “maybe” he’ll do it a “little bit” less.
It’s a threat. If you talk to me I might pipe down…a little.
I think th RF will continue the silence…until the baby arrives and then they will take steps to protect meghan, Harry.. and th newest member of th royal family… from this emotional abuse. Steps will be taken, I have no doubt about that.
“I’ll keep talking and I’ll probably get louder.”
Hello fixated persons list! Which is so sad but if it works out the way I think it will, the press will be forced to cut off the oxygen for these fools so they can slither away. I know she doesn’t need the sympathy but I still feel sorry for Meghan. Her dad though? Yeesh SMH!
I hope every time this fat turd opens his gob Meghan adds another 2 years to never speaking with him. What a creepy disgusting man. I have no doubt it my mind this man could get angry enough to physically harm her if she were ever in his presence. Him and Scammy for sure are capable of this. No doubt in my mind
Even if he’s been a good father in the past, the fact remains, he sold her out to the press, embarrassed her publicly, and continues to harass her, all because she won’t let him or his grifter family profit off of their association with her. Because that’s what it all comes down to isn’t it?
Why isnt he complaining about Samantha not visiting his abusive ass?? Why he keeps getting paid to basically say “nope, i still haven’t talked to my daughter” is beyond me. He has nothing else to say.
