Meghan Markle’s ‘Dear Daddy’ blunder may be the final nail in the coffin of her credibility
Exclusive comment piece by Karren Brady
THERE is a time for indignation and a time for sympathy.
First, the indignation. After months of her wanting to “speak her truth”, the real truth is out about Meghan Markle.
This week she apologised to the Court of Appeal for “failing to remember” she told an aide to brief the authors of the Finding Freedom biography.
I have a memory like a sieve about where I’ve left the car keys and the date of my wedding anniversary. But even I can’t quite imagine forgetting I’ve told someone what to write — in detail — in a supposedly unauthorised biography.
Now the sympathy. I don’t expect many of you will agree with what comes next, but here goes: Whatever you think of Meghan, there is no doubt in my mind that her father, in the run-up to the 2018 wedding, appeared hellbent on cashing in on his daughter’s new-found fame.
Knowing, therefore, that any communication she had with her father was more than likely to become public knowledge, in a way, can you blame her for having that in mind when she wrote to him?
The court may accept her forgetfulness was genuine. Whatever they decide, I wonder if Meghan will live this down, but I suspect not.
