Oh, suddenly we're worried about what the Palace knew but the fact--the FACT--that Meghan knew for eight years isn't the actual uncomfortable question? Come on. The royals never even met this man, something Meghan made very sure of, so this is all on her.
A.N. WILSON: So why did the Met Police sit on THAT letter... and what did the Palace know? The uncomfortable question about the Thomas Markle saga that must be answered... and why it could be so damaging to the royals trib.al/76oVaxq
When you've lost the Guardian: "He looked older and schlubbier – don’t we all – the diffidence of youth replaced by something more pompous and belligerent, undergirded by what, in recent years, has appeared to be his bottomless well of hurt feelings."

"I'm not gonna say anything about your brother." But you just did. By suggesting there is soooo much you could say but you are holding your peace IS saying something. It's an old rhetorical device to claim the high road while making your dirty little point.
This is excellent.
"this despicable man has the audacity to preach about reconciliation for a rift he helped create, as though he can spend years airing his family’s private grievances, profit from the fallout, and then lecture everyone about letting go of the past."
Harry’s GQ interview raises a question that seems to escape him: what does reconciliation actually mean if the past is to be left behind only on his terms?
Harry says his family problems make him relatable because so many people experience disagreements with siblings and estrangement from parents. But there is a rather significant difference between an ordinary family falling out and turning your family’s private business into a global commercial enterprise.
Millions of people have difficult relationships with their parents and siblings. They live with resentment, estrangement and unresolved hurt. They do not all sell their family grievances to the highest bidder, publish private conversations for millions to read, and make a business out of explaining why everyone else wronged them.
Harry chose to do that. Interviews, a documentary, a memoir: year after year, the family feud became material for another public account of his grievances. He was entitled to tell his story. But he cannot claim that entitlement while expecting everyone else to absorb the consequences quietly, as though their privacy, reputations and feelings were merely collateral damage in his determination to tell his side.
And now he wants to talk about letting go of the past.
How convenient.
He has had years to explain what his father and brother did to him. Where is the same determination to acknowledge what he has done to them? Where is the recognition that trust cannot survive indefinitely when private conversations become public disclosures and family disagreements become material for commercial projects?
Harry speaks of scars that remain. Indeed they do. But he cannot invoke the permanence of those scars when discussing his own hurt while expecting the people on the other side to behave as though his choices left no lasting marks on them.
His appeal to relatability does not make this any less striking. Having family problems is relatable. Monetising those problems, repeatedly exposing the people involved, and then returning to the language of family unity when you want a different outcome is another matter entirely.
And this despicable man has the audacity to preach about reconciliation for a rift he helped create, as though he can spend years airing his family’s private grievances, profit from the fallout, and then lecture everyone about letting go of the past.
And William should be particularly wary of being drawn into another round of public pressure. He has not spent the past few years giving interviews about his brother or publishing intimate details of their relationship. Harry has repeatedly chosen to make their family conflict a public affair. William does not owe him a public response, a public reconciliation or another appearance in a story Harry has spent years telling.
There is also a fundamental difference between wanting a relationship back and accepting responsibility for what damaged it. Harry can speak about peace, forgiveness and the importance of family as often as he likes. None of those words answers the harder question: what is he prepared to acknowledge, and what is he prepared to do differently?
If he is serious about repairing these relationships, he knows where his father and brother are. He does not need another headline to communicate that he wants them back. He needs to stop treating reconciliation as another public narrative in which he remains the wounded party and everyone else is expected to provide the ending.
Harry is free to want peace. He is free to move back. He is free to say the past should be left behind. What he cannot do is demand that the permanent record he created be treated as a temporary inconvenience now that he finds it inconvenient.
The family grievances were his to publicise. The consequences are not his alone to dismiss. The scars do stick around. And he has only himself to blame for them.

Excellent analysis
Was thinking, he's been gone seven years.
That's a long time.
Putting aside his horrendous betrayal in that time, and ignoring the positive PR spin and character management the institution gave him 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵,
what does he have to offer the family and institution in order to be welcomed back?
How, in the last ten years has he demonstrated good workplace character and professionalism?
Positive interpersonal skills?
How has he demonstrated trustworthiness and reliability? Ability to show humility?
Show personal growth, emotional maturity, ability to own mistakes, accept criticism and take accountability?
He can't 🤷🏻♀️ because nothings changed.
The entitled and bullying behaviour remains, including workplace issues.
The family resentment etc remains.
The obvious fear of irrelevance remains (which means H would be targeting the Wales children).
So why on earth would William (or anyone) accept him back? With the cloud of instability and toxicity that would follow (including increased bullying and abuse towards the Wales children)

No one is obliged to give anyone access to their life. He doesn't like the terms now, but this is the consequences of the choices he took. Sometimes the door stays shut because of what happened when it was open.
Prince Harry opens up about his relationship with his father and brother: “With everything else that’s going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile.”

Well, would you look at that. Seems it’s not the first time we’ve seen this exact pose from Meghan Markle. EXACTLY the same pose.
She leans in, drops her left hand on the other woman’s back, tilts her head, and locks in that ‘caring’ stare - like the moment actually means something to her. Then you put the two photos next to each other and it tells a different story.
This isn’t Meghan being naturally warm. She’s acting. She clocks the cameras, hits the pose, and holds it long enough for the money shot.
Meghan Markle doesn’t care about either of these women.
Asking and being told "no comment" is not being fed.
Asking and being given other information than what you asked is kind of the very definition of being fed.
Jack Royston says he wasn't fed the Sussexes school story. Oh Jack, Jack, Jack...
Couple of points of discussion from Royston's latest newsletter.
• I believe him when he says he wasn't 𝘧𝘦𝘥 the school story, that it was given to him when he was seeking answers to other questions.
However that only clarifies 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦.
The Ssxes have been very strategic with their media manipulation, especially over the last year or so. They clearly wanted this information made public, as part of their security campaign (hence the RAF Fairford comparison)
• they have definitely lost the benefit of the doubt. Ten years of crying wolf in every way imaginable does that. Ten years of attention seeking and lies and hypocrisy.
Everywhere I look, 99% of the comments are doubting them now.
People don't believe them, don't care, don't like them, and are tired of hearing about them
{and the more this happens, the more desperate the two of them will become}
• Yes, they're are still talked about (🙋🏻♀️#guilty), but not as much, and it's about the stunts, including their media manipulation.
I don't believe there is anywhere near the commercial interest in them, that's been decreasing over the years.
