Chatting with Lady C: Samantha Markle book review concludes as Shakespearean tragedy/farce

In the hundred and seventh episode Lady Colin Campbell concludes reviewing Samantha Markle's memoir 'The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister' covering such aspects as Meghan's false memories about their Grandma Markle; confirming that Meghan's claim in her renowned letter to their father that she barely knew Samantha is fanciful; touching upon Samantha's suggestion to Meghan, once she started making good money in Suits, that she repay their father some of the fortune he spent on her education now that he had fallen upon hard times, only to be informed that there were too many cooks in that particular kitchen; how the family was left to flounder without help from the Palace or Meghan once news of her relationship with Harry broke; how she came to realise that Meghan, not the Palace or Palace protocol, was responsible; how the British tabloids boosted Meghan's profile at the expense of the Markle family in the run-up to the marriage; how embarrassed and humiliated both the Markle and Ragland families were when they did not receive invitations to the wedding while several hundred strangers did; how Meghan played games with their father in the run-up to the wedding and, in Samantha's book, seemed to set up the situation which resulted in Thomas Markle not attending the wedding; and how, if one half of what Samantha says is true and fair, Meghan comes across as a Shakespearean character right out of King Lear and Macbeth.

Lady C has incredible analytical skills, she really impresses me, the puzzle is perfectly recreated, you can be a brilliant lawyer.

I didn't give a hoot about M and H till I stumbled across Lady C's vids. Now I watch her because I LOVE how she speaks; her phrasing, diction, clarity and that laugh!

[gion]

Lady C is FIERCE! She's my new icon. Strong, witty, stylish, tasteful, poised and above all, intelligent

As much as Thomas has been made to suffer, Thomas made the correct choice to stay with his older children.

I read that Prince William was in shock when he realized that only her mother was at the wedding, and asked, "Where is her family?" I can only imagine what he was thinking at the time. Given that he told Harry to slow down and get to know her better and visa versa, he must have realized at that moment that his fears for Harry were about to be realized!

I bought Samantha's book and had to cry because I felt all the pain her father had. This poor man! 😭 This story is relateable.

If my family were not invited to my wedding, all hell would have broken loose. Good on Samantha, I say for not suffering an insult.

MM replaced her family, who she viewed as an embarrassment, with her ideal family of celebrity. It was a crystal clear example of how shallow she truly is. Her values are so tacky, facetious, vacuous, there's nothing endearing about her.

[frenchygigi]

The royal family should never have allowed that wedding, the moment she refused to invite the family, then the RF should have told them to have a small private wedding.

I am waiting for Just Harry to become just Harry, no titles of any kind, no Duke etc or even Prince.

How many families has Megan destroyed and how many friends

[Bergantin]

I was born in California. As Meghan was born in. Calif also, and went to Northwestern University, her father would have had to pay out of state tuition. Then he paid for her Apartment, and all utility bills, food, car, etc. It could easily have cost a million dollars.

Not ok to be ashamed of your roots, you are part of them

Interesting mad Meg won’t be suing Samantha about the contents of this book as she well knows it’s the truth and wouldn’t get anywhere in court with this one ☝🏼

[mrs.herculepoirot]

In the big splashy article she did in Vanity Fair before they were engaged I found something I thought odd. She talked about how she spent weekends with her Dad and when he brought her back to her Mom's house on Sunday night they would have dinner together and watch the tv show Jeopardy together. I know it is a small point but Jeopardy was never on Sunday night. It has been a very popular show since the 60's, first during the day then on week nights. I think she did it to make her family seem like they enjoyed educational shows together as one must be quite bright to do well on the show. It was clear early on what kind of family image she wanted to project.

And good on Thomas Junior & the others for not being ignored.

[Sam]

And the Oscar goes Colin Campbell (for her mesmerising, brutally honest performance as Meghan Markle, The Duchess of Sussex) 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[selmahassan]

Loved that review and the last 5 minutes when you acted megsy and stuffed that cushion up your jumper to show the huge baby bump after 2 weeks is the funniest thing I've seen 🤣

[idacoetzee]

The cruelty of Megan was clear in the photos of her dad being fitted for a suit, everytime I see that photo I see an ordinary dad that loves his daughter and wants to be at her wedding!

[janettesinclair]

I was horrified to find that MM told her father that he would not get an invite to the wedding unless he disowned his other children. What a callous and cruel thing to do. At the time of the wedding I did think it was bizarre that only her mother was invited, and she filled the church with all those "celebrities", but we didn't really know her real character then. Surprised that the RF did not insist family was invited out of courtesy no matter what MM said.
