Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

If even half of the stuff in the book is true she’s a piece of work. I feel sorry for the father, dropped in favour of Doria who fitted Ms narrative better.

He knows what to do? Can you elaborate?

He has reached out hasn't he? Wants to know his grandkids. I guess Tom Sr absolutely spoiling his daughter gave her a sense of entitlement. Getting collected by Limo from her friends house would certainly do that alright. Not Meghans fault as such to go and develop notions. That was his prerogative as a doting dad but he contributed to cultivating the personality who subsequently ghosted him. He was ghosted because he was perhaps too fortright, too out spoken. As is right, a consequence perhaps of having risen to be a respected, award winning technician in his industry.

When in a position of power and influence having someone around to call you out is something to be welcomed. He had the capacity to torpedo her backstory. He doesn't strike me as a yes man. He couldn't be controlled as such and so he was unceremoniously dumped. He wasn't "on brand" so to speak. Is that what he is supposed to do? Be controlled? Meghan gets to speak her "truth" and, you know what, so does her Dad. The man isn't perfect. No one, including Meghan, is. Tom Sr has been, in my opinion, the victim of an incredible example of gaslighting. Imagine having spoiled your daughter, give her want for nothing, spend tens of thousands of dollars on her education and then have her, to a global audience deny any of that happened whatsoever just so she could aggrandise herself and dupe people at his expense. And yet he still wants to have a relationship with her, he still loves her. I suppose for some love really is unconditional.

He’s a lot more innocent than his daughter…..read the book, he doesn’t deserve how she & H have treated him

Could someone explain the origin of the title Revenge?

Can someone explain this...

Throughout the book, obviously race is discussed..

Why does the word "black" get a capital B yet the word "white" only gets a small w (when referencing race)?

By that logic white should be White though. 🤷‍♀️

I'm trying to understand it.. this is what I'm thinking..

It's to reference the culture not the skin culture?

Like I'm an Irish woman..capital I.

The argument is that not all black people identify as African American (for example) so they would be classed a Black woman..

Whereas white is deemed a race/skin colour and not really as a geographical culture specifically?

If I'm wrong, someone please explain better...

I understood that Doria is not 100% black ... is it as far back as the Ragland slave owner days?

he is no victim, he is responsible for losing the relationship with his daughter via his behaviour of selling stories to the media and using the media to immotionally blackmail her.

he chose the media and its money over his daughter.

M has treated him the same way she treats everyone who is of no use to her or doesn’t buy into her version of events. If she had supported her father the same way she supported her mother he wouldn’t have been driven to do what he did. His only mistake was that he spoiled her & turned her into the absolute madam that she is

Or. He was being portrayed as an obese drunk hobo living in Mexico considering his daughter was marrying into Royalty and the media frenzy surrounding him was out of control so, according to him, he thought it might be a good idea to take some control, to make some bank via the media, playing them at their own game, and putting some goofy images into the public domain to counter the optics of his general negative portrayal which was embarrassing to his daughter marrying into royalty. A mistake but not this emotional blackmail angle you're going for. His crime, if you could call it that, was denying he collaborated with those photos but seemingly he was damned if he admitted to it and damned if he denied it. Meghan was marrying a Prince and a consequence was she had family who would be zeroed in on. The man likely felt unprotected given how none of this was his decision and there is some understanding as to how he might wrestle some semblance of control from the maelstrom he found himself in. He was supposed to keep schtum, out of sight and he thought "f*ck that". Good on him for not allowing himself to be bullied into compliance.

Compassion. From those two. What an absolute joke that is.
