Meghan Markle's father (I'm not gonna name him) getting airtime is foul. If you have never been in the position of having to estrange yourself from a parent you won't have a clue of the level it has to get to before you cut ties. No interest in his mewling display.
When you cut a parent off it's after years of pain. The act itself is horrendous. You lose people you've known your whole life as they decide the problem was you. Other people periodically tell you "he's very proud of you, you know" etc like you asked.
Imagine all of the above and then national publications and ratings-smash TV shows inviting the parent on to "give my side". Fuck you if you have anything other than empathy for the estranged child, no matter how "just annoying though" you find her.
Meghan Markle seems fucking awesome, for the record. I look forward to all the good she does over the next 10 years. She and Harry have escaped a toxic institution that does nothing but damage the people at the heart of it. For Harry it wasn't irreparable.
