I am sure he must have shown a keen interest before now in his beloved daughter’s adult life and participated (even a teeny weeny bit) on the special occasions of her life as an adult (ie. her 1st wedding), the way Doria has. Surely there are photographs floating about somewhere that depicts a loving, close father relationship with his adult daughter. Childhood, prepubescent pics of them together are constantly shoved in our faces. And no, I don’t believe a generic photo of a group of hands posted on Thanksgiving via instagram (captioned and perhaps trying to hark back to happier memories) necessarily mean they were hands of her with both parents at the time. She hasn’t been shy in presenting full photographs of her as an adult with one of her parents, and did so frequently. He isn’t shy either and my goodness hasn’t he and his inner circle gone out of their way in making it known he would love to attend her wedding this time around. And walk her down the aisle. It is not something that would be done publicly in that way if there weren’t uncertainties, or it was already assured/guaranteed that he would be granted that honour as is usually the case with most weddings if a healthy very close adult daughter/father relationship existed. Markles along with their friends constantly trying to force the issue via the press, media is just eek. Plus not meeting Harry before the engagement announcement, perhaps not even before the big day itself. To me there is something off and like someone else previously pointed out certain things simply don’t add up. It is not a crime for a Person to try paint a rosy picture of a difficult/estranged parental relationship, even if that wasn’t a reality, especially when you’re in the public eye. I think she does love her dad in her own way but they were probably not as close in her adult years enough to keep in touch, up until now that is. Anyway he is no longer shy it seems and now desperately wants to walk Meghan down the aisle on such a momentous Royal occasion. I do hope he gets chance to, even if he it means he might have to share that platform with Meghan’s mum. Happy ending all around, eh. I’m done with this topic
