I don’t understand all these news about Meghan and Harry. Really nobody cares. I didn’t care that much about Princess Diana either. Really, It’s become too much.

That's to be expected that you wouldn't understand though, and that it's too much for you, since you don't live in a monarchy, you live in a country that is a republic. Monarchies are probably meaningless to you but it's incorrect for you to say that nobody cares. You don't care, but people who live in monarchies do care about their royal families. Many people who live in republics often can't understand the way people who live in monarchies may feel loyalty and pride about their royal families and like to talk about them.
If you were to read all the threads about monarchies and check the locations of all the people who post in them, you'd see that nearly all of the negative and disrespectful comments that get posted come from people who live in republics (usually it's always from the same republic too). That has happened in this congratulatory thread about a baby too, as usual, and the negative comments have come from party-poopers who live in the same republic, again as usual.
I don't understand why they bother. People who live in monarchies aren't interested in the criticism and disapproval from republicans who don't understand or know about monarchies and the people's royal families. Why should the monarchists care about what disapproving republicans think? It's not like it's going to make any difference to them except to create hard feelings and a sense of disgust.

I was told to take the birth of Prince Louie off a Scottish site Im on as it might cause friction hahaha honestly its laughable.. to argue over the birth of a lovely baby to a nice couple..but then some here in Scotland would rather make it into Little Ireland and thats the truth....they boast about the SNP and independence when its only hatred of the English. what a sad lot........for this Scot I aint moving Im British first and always will be... and I love our Queen..

Good for you. Well, where I live we hold our Queen of Canada (Elizabeth II) and her royal family in very high regard too. I just love the Queen all to little bits and pieces and think she's as cute as the cat's pajamas. And as far as I'm concerned, if something or somebody is good enough for the Queen and her family then it's good enough for me too, and that includes her approval of whoever her grandchildren choose to marry. I'm tickled pink with the beautiful, spirited women that both William and Harry have fallen in love with and married, and that goes for Eugenie and her new husband too. I wish nothing but the best for all of them, and for the successful continuance of the 16 respective monarchies of Elizabeth's Commonwealth Realms.
Meghan has got to drop this feud with Dad Markle! That poor man is driving a beater Volvo down in Mexico with the hub caps falling off and she has completely cast off her elderly, ailing father from her life! She spoke so glowingly of him in the past all over social media and now it looks like he will never meet his grandchild or Harry. Something seems rotten in the state of Denmark with this whole Dad Markle situation! That's as harsh as it gets to cut your own once beloved father from your life ESPECIALLY in his elder years!!

Plenty of blame on both sides, it would appear. His on again, off again wishy-washiness about walking her down the aisle or even attending the wedding could not have been easy for Meghan to deal with, and his selling of personal photos and later verbal indiscretions in paid interviews were embarrassingly beyond the pale.
That said, it would be helpful if some financial support for Mr. Markle, or perhaps a new car already paid for plus paid-up utilities and an allowance for the next year or so, were discretely provided.

I wouldn't have expected my elderly father in poor health to just hop a plane over to London and show up for a world wide televised wedding, and then on the cuff, mingle with the British Royal Family. It's absurd to think he would have been able to pull that off as he would have needed a lot of carefully planned accommodations to get through all the events. No wonder he waffled back and forth and was hesitant to do it. He understandably feared making a fool of himself and his family.
As for the selling of personal photos, he made that misstep but the Royals have made far worse ones and been excused, and so I think Mr. Markle can be forgiven for his relatively minor blunder...no real harm done. I think by the time those interviews rolled around, he was justifiably hurt and offended for being treated so poorly and dismissively by his daughter and Harry. He was being hounded and invaded by the media and he just put up with it, and her brother attempted to get her to intervene and she ignored him.
This is the father that she repeatedly posted so glowingly about on social media and now he has been completely cast out of her life in his elder years due to a few missteps. Huge, red glaring flag for her having narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissists pounce on reasons to discard others like trash when they are no longer useful to them.
Time will tell and things will unfold to reflect the underlying reality of the situation regardless of how rosy the surface appears. We only have to sit back and continue to observe.

Sad situation all around, though.
It could never be discreetly provided because as soon as Meghan and Harry give him money and bought him a new car, he’d run to the tabloids to provide them full details. The bottom line is he can’t be trusted and he obviously doesn’t have her best interests at heart as evidenced by his ongoing relationship with the tabloids.
Some family members over time (and some times from the onset) are toxic and it is best to cut them out of your life no matter who they are. I suspect Meghan has always had an up and down relationship with her father over the years, and it’s clear that she has never been close to her step siblings. It’s unfortunate that her dating and subsequent marriage to Harry has exacerbated what seems to have been an already challenging relationship between her and her father.
BOT - Her belly seems to be growing by the day.Lol. Ever since they announced her pregnancy it seems to have become more obvious. Thus far, she seems to be handling the tour well. She gave a wonderful speech in Fiji (?) at the University about the importance of educating women and has not yet cancelled an engagement due to tiredness. She is refraining from wearing heels so much though which I’m sure helps some with reducing expending so much energy.
I’m not in the UK but I couldn’t be happier! I’ve found the royals fascinating since Diana was in the news.
I don’t know why the Brits get so up in arms about people not liking the royals. People will always find something to be bitter about the important thing is that they are paying attention especially the ones who say they don’t care.
Can I say Chloe333 that I am not utterly convinced that Mr Merkle is at a beggar levelit she way he himself has become. Nobody really expected him over here due to his health and any issues are as much if not more at his corner. Because someone is a father it does not automatically mean that he wil remain above routine life. A family i am close to had a father whom they had a normal regard for but as he got older he started surprisingly to them change and get them sighing and occasionally head shaking.
The prince did well getting that pretty woman and i will try exceedingly not to get jealous.
