What Kind Of Human Being Cuts Their Own Father Out Of Their Life And That Of His Grandchild?

[thesshhh]

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7414917/Thomas-Markle-asks-meet-Archie.html Is the supposedly caring compassionate image of this person just a role she plays?

[jno]

A human being who’s had enough of greedy, selfish, manipulative parents, perhaps?

Nobody has any right whatever to a grandchild.

[Cloverjo]

People don’t cut their dad out of their life for no reason.

[waterboatman]

As has been said, there is a reason. We don't know the full story.

[thesshhh]

Is that reason not ruthlessly ambitious social climbing?

[waterboatman]

We don't know the family history.

I think there's an element of avarice in her family's constant maligning by media.
They're not doing themselves any favours by constantly complaining about their perceived shoddy treatment. The more they bad-mouth her to the press, the more they destroy any chance of family reunion.

Sadly not everybody has the kind of parents that deserves love and respect. Hard to walk away from family but sometimes one has to.

He split up with Meghan’s mother when she was 6 and didn't have much to do with his daughter after that. He had children from a previous marriage.
He won $750,000 on the lottery but blew it on himself filing for bankruptcy.
His relationship was never very good, and she took exception to her father doing paid interviews and cashing in on her fame. The Daily Mail have lined his pockets many times, and I imagine he took money for this latest sob story. The final straw was him posing for paparazzi photographers. Harry blames paparazzi for the death of his mother, so the fathers stunt didn’t impress him.
He sounds pretty embarrassing and pathetic, so she is probably right to have nothing to do with him.

I have no idea why some are constantly maligning this woman....the mail seems particularly keen to whip up unpleasantness and stir the pot up...I don't know how this man treated her or her mother and it is nice to see that she is keeping her reasons close to her...but I can think of loads of reasons why one would close the door on ones parents and why that door would be kept closed.....the sister is a bit of a stirrer too....Oh sudden thought...the father and sister wouldn't be getting paid for all this bile they are letting loose would they??

Her mother is African American, so she is not racially pure enough to be a Royal for the likes of the Daily Mail.

Many people do the same thing for their own very good reasons. None of them have to explain or justify those reasons to the OP or to anyone. What makes the situation of the Duchess of Sussex any different? In my own family which had its own issues, we had an agreement that certain relatives would be invited to weddings (hoping they wouldn't come) and then nothing more. The "invite to wedding thing" was out of love and respect for the older generation of our family who would have been devastated by a complete breach.

[LadyCG]

The family is probably lamenting the fact that they're not riding on the coat tails of her newly found fame and fortune.

Having said that, I note it says in the Mail's article that Mr Markle neither sought nor received payment for this latest interview.

[Bobbisox1]

What kind of father sells his story to the American media for 30 pieces of silver?

[woofgang]

It occurs to me also that this action may be at least partly out of love and respect for her mother?

[cassa333]

Someone who’s had enough of someone who is a father/grandfather in name only.

Someone who’s had enough of said father/grandfather cashing in on your position.

[Ken4155]

Not the response you were hoping for, is it thesshhh?

[NellieMay]

Without knowing the circumstances we can't judge. I have e a close family member who has cut her father out of her life. It is totally justified and he definitely should not have any contact with her children. It happens!

[Rockrose]

The kind who has to put up with a father who sells stories and pictures to the media

[DeeLicious]

I don't like what I see and hear of Meghan and that has nothing to do with the colour of her skin. It's partly based on her cutting her Dad dead. She and Harry (who should certainly have known better) could have avoided all this, by either getting advisors to help Mr Markle or by properly welcoming him into the fold. Only looks to me like her new-found status is more important to her than anything. I'd say the Dad is better off without her in this case. She seems a nightmare, and soon enough weak Harry will feel he full force of that. Hell will have no fury like Meghan scorned. Mark my words. And if she then tries to make up with her Dad, I hope he slams the door in her fake Disney face

[bednobs]

My husband. My loving caring husband. That kind of human.
He's the best kind
