To be ghosted by Prince Harry and Meghan should be seen as an honour. Yeah, I’m being sarcastic there. They’ve thrown so many people aside in the five years they’ve been together that it’s given me metaphorical whiplash. They’ve slowly lost their credibility, and 2021 was when it fell to 0%.
Today’s Chronicles of Harkle post is about the people Harry and Meghan have ghosted. Moreover, this is a long one.
Thomas Markle
Meghan’s dad, Thomas, became her first ghosted casualty. Furthermore, he doesn’t deserve to be left out to hang by his ungrateful daughter. He gave her a fulfilled life of eating at the best restaurants. He even paid for her private education.
So, what was the reason he got ghosted? Well, it all started when he posed for paparazzi shots alluding to him getting ready for the 2018 royal wedding. Meghan cried about how upset she was with him and then cut him off. Since then, Thomas has tried and failed to reach out to her.
The biggest strike in the face is Meghan referred to his father in the past tense when she spoke to Oprah. In her mind, her dad is dead. Then, there were the texts that Harry sent Thomas while he lay in a hospital bed. The existence of these messages became official public knowledge during Meghan’s court case against the Mail on Sunday.
Going back to the pap shots, Meghan was upset, but she forgot she’s done the same thing. So it’s okay for her to do it but not alright for him? Talk about massive double standards.
Doria Ragland
Why is Doria on this list? If you’re a regular reader of Project Fangirl, you’ll be aware of the alleged incident of Meghan and her mother getting into a physical fight.
Though, given that Doria hasn’t been mentioned in months makes me question whether or not it happened. Anyway, apparently, the reason Ms Ragland got ghosted was that she dared question her daughter over why baby Lili wasn’t named after her. It has long been speculated that Meghan has no love for her mother and only uses her when she needs her. In other words, they have a fake relationship.
Doria was nothing but loyal to Meghan and didn’t speak out against her as her dad did. For her to be treated the same as Thomas shows how cold Meghan is.
Samantha Markle
Samantha Markle doesn’t enjoy being ghosted by the little sister she always adored. Like their father, Sam has been outspoken in her criticisms of Meghan. She knows that her half-sister will never counsel with the family, let alone Thomas.
What is disgusting, Meghan has made various claims against Samantha that she [Sam] was able to prove weren’t true. For example, Meghan claimed she hadn’t seen her sister in over twenty years and that she’d only reverted her surname to Markle in 2016 when Meghan’s relationship with Harry became public knowledge.
Samantha refuted this with a photo of her and Meghan together in 2008 at Samantha’s college graduation. The certificate she received says Samantha M. Markle on it.
Thomas Markle Jr
Meghan’s half-brother, Tom, also didn’t escape being ghosted. He famously wrote that letter to Harry saying Meghan would ruin his and his family’s lives. Tom ended up being correct as the royal family has coped criticism after criticism from the Sussexes and haven’t been able to defend themselves given their mantra of “never complain, never explain”.
However, a few months ago, Tom appeared on Big Brother VIP Australia, where he wrote another letter to his sister and brother-in-law, forgiving them. He even spoke about when Meghan was married to her first husband, Trevor Engelson, he [Trevor] treated her like a princess.
Ninaki Priddy
Of all Meghan’s early friends, the first one to speak out about being ghosted was Ninaki Priddy, Meghan’s best friend of 30 years. She spoke about how she and Meghan were like sisters growing up and how they’d go travelling together.
The friendship allegedly ended when Priddy sided with Meghan’s ex-husband during the divorce and suddenly “ran out of time” to see her when her star rose on Suits. According to Ninaki, Meghan can be cold when she freezes people out of her life.
Lizzie Cundy
When Meghan was starting to find her ground in the UK, she befriended reality star Lizzie Cundy at a charity event. According to Lizzie, she had been asked to look after Meghan since she knew no one at this event. Anyway, she was able to get her an interview despite the producer Lizzie was working with saying no as Meghan wasn’t famous enough.
Meghan allegedly told Cundy that she loved English men and wanted an English boyfriend. Anyway, time goes by and what happens? Markle gets herself engaged to England’s most eligible bachelor, Prince Harry. What’s more, is Lizzie has come up with the theory that the Sussexes named their daughter, Lilibet after her. I went over my thoughts on this in the linked post, but to slim down my answer, no, I don’t believe Lili was named after Lizzie.
Trevor Engelson
Before Harry even entered Meghan’s orbit, she ghosted her first husband, Trevor Engelson. As I mentioned above, Tom Jr claims Engleson treated Meghan like a princess. Do I believe this? Yeah, I do.
Meghan decided the marriage was over without even telling Trevor and sent her wedding and engagement rings back to him via the mail. Engelson was blindsided by his wife’s decision to end their marriage but has remained silent on what happened. The information I’m providing you comes from people who have spoken about the relationship previously.
Usain Bolt
Moving over to Harry’s relationships for a second and Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt came a good friend of Harry after meeting him at several events. According to Tim Hanlon of the Mirror, the athlete admitted to “losing touch” with the royal. To me, that’s code for “he’s ghosted me”. From what has been said, Bolt said he would’ve loved to organise Harry’s stag (bachelor party) do when he got engaged to Meghan.
Usain met Meghan at the wedding of Harry’s former best friend Tom Inskip. Bolt also said that he believes the Sussexes relationship got serious too quickly and that he would’ve liked to keep in close contact with his friend. However, things have changed with Harry having a new circle of friends in Hollywood.
Tom And Lara Inskip
Speaking of Harry’s ghosted friends, two other associates that have gotten the cold shoulder are Tom Inskip and his wife, Lara. According to what I’ve heard. Tom, who has known Harry since they were kids, warned him about Meghan’s intentions. Of course, word got back to Markle, and well, she took revenge. The Inskips ended up being invited to the wedding but not the afterparty. Instead, their spots were given to people the Sussexes didn’t know.
Entire Markle And Ragland Families
Did anyone think it was odd that only Doria scored an invite to the Sussexes’ wedding? I thought it was strange. Anyway, Meghan loves to pretend her family doesn’t exist. She had Harry believe it when he said in the engagement interview “My family will be the family she never had.”
At the time, I believed this and that her family were trash, but the more I looked into the situation more I realised how wrong I was. The Ragland and Markle families had done nothing wrong. Well, I will be honest here and admit I wasn’t criticising the Raglands. Only the Markles. I made a grave mistake in doing so.
As I’ve been following this endless drama, it has left me wondering; what did the families do to Meghan was so bad? I’ve seen a LOT of fascinating comments, but if I’m truthful, I would say their status as part of the working class is not something Meghan wanted to be associated with. She wanted the high life and had to erase all of the people who don’t fit with the narrative she wants people to see.
It shouldn’t matter if you’re working class or in the top tier. People are people and shouldn’t be looked down upon. Meghan is too much of a narcissist to care about anyone but herself.
Royal Family
Of course, one of the biggest groups the Sussexes ghosted was Harry’s whole family. First, Meghan cries to Tom Bradby that being a royal is hard and she’s not being treated fairly. Then, Harry says he and William are on “different paths”. Skip to the Oprah interview in March 2021 and they shit all over the royal family’s reputation by claiming racism. Finally, Harry claims his pleas to help Meghan were left unheard which he saw as “total neglect”.
The Sussexes have no boundaries they won’t cross with the royal family. Meghan threw Catherine under the bus, which prompted death threats and targeted attacks that William had to shield his wife from.
William only ever wanted what was best for Harry. They both knew that there were women who would take advantage of them due to their status and privilege.
Piers Morgan
Finally, I wanted to cover our old mate, Piers Morgan, Meghan’s number one critic. We know how he felt about being ghosted. He has been vocal for the last five years. At the time, he was just an annoyance. However, he made so many people wake to how Meghan is not a good person, despite what she wants you to see.
When the Oprah interview happened and he voiced his opinion, he pissed a load of people when he said he didn’t believe Meghan’s mental health claims. As a result, he lost his job on Good Morning Britain because Markle cried to the head of the network by using the “We’re both women an mothers” card.
To end this post, I wanted to explain how Piers was ghosted. According to reports, Meghan slid into his DMs on Twitter and they struck up a conversation. They met in person and became friends. However, the second she met Harry she ghosted Piers. He still has the DM to prove she sent him a message.
