Meghan Markle's family is over, is not it?

For a time, it seemed that the royal family had collectively thrown its hands in the air.

Without any recourse to stop Meghan Marklethe dad, Thomas Markleby giving interviews to the press, they had trouble knowing how to best manage the situation. And when his daughter, Samantha Markle, was involved in his searches on Twitter and his endless comments, well, they seemed really lost.

Giving her requests and reaching out meant she risked immediately passing the conversation to the nearest media outlet. And while holding their stiff upper lip stiff and waiting for history to repeat itself, well, it did not seem to work as well as Samantha's emboldened proof, first at Buckingham Palace and then at Kensington, where Meghan shares a comfortable two bedroom cottage with a new husband Prince Harryin a way, facilitate a sit-down with his half-sister long since distant.

Yet the royal family seemed determined to stay calm and continue on and on.

Because, in fact, they knew something we did not know: a baby changes everything. Nothing soothes the heart of a grandparent's future that to learn that he will become daddy again, that he can no longer ask the only question to which he harasses the young people married since the return of their honeymoon. And apparently, it works for aunts too. Because suddenly, Samantha had a totally new perspective on the family feud she had spent enthusiastically over the past year.

Meghan was not a cold-hearted DUCHASS who had practically tasted the Markle side of the family since her first stint at Kensington Palace. No no no. She was just waiting for the right moment to be forgiven for her old father, for example, maybe when she would have real news to share and that she could discuss the design of a nursery and present his plans. And Cruella de Vil? It was lost. In fact, she is more like the protagonist of the film, a woman desperate to protect her family at all costs.

"This must make everything that happened last year disappear," Samantha told the British newspaper. The sunshortly after the announcement of the news. "I want Meghan to be happy and calm and to have peace, everyone needs to be positive."

Thomas, in particular, has reason to feel good. Because if it was his first test, he was doing it wonderfully well. according to The sunWhile Meghan did not call the retired lighting director, 74, to invite her to come, he was warned before the announcement was made public.

Which means that he had at least a brief window of time where he was aware of one of the biggest headlines in the world and he kept everything for him. While this is not a major achievement in itself, it is a marked difference from a few months ago when Meghan feared that any communication she had with her father would end up making headlines. TMZ. Now, the man who has threatened never to be silenced, just refused to keep quiet, just did that. He has not granted any interviews since the month of August, when he unfortunately compared the royal family to a cult. And if he intended to renew his love affair with the British press, the time has come, they will certainly be ready to listen.

So … small steps, if you want.

Yes The sunThe report is true, Thomas's renewed reluctance can be attributed to his desire to become a grandfather present for the future Baby Sussex. Naturally "absolutely delighted", as revealed by an insider, he already boasts of the quality of his future mother. (Which, of course, she will do, she's proven to be a fan of lovely kids, and if she gives birth to a little woman, she already has a fantastic welcome gift at hand.)

At the same time, he allows himself to dream, for example, on Sunday at Kensington Gardens with his future grandkid. "Thomas sees this as a chance to solve the problems between him, Meghan and Harry," the journalist told The Journal. "He is desperate to be there for his grandson and wants to play an active role in their lives."

And despite all her talk about letting their problems go away and going forward, Samantha is also desperate to want that to happen.

Trying not to be hung up on the fact that his father was not mentioned in any of the press releases sent from the palace ("I hope for the baby, the family, the world and my father – only leave it out of the statement was not intentional ", she is already launching ideas for a possible summit of reconciliation." I hope my father is included and at the right time, "she confided The sun before adding, somewhat disturbingly, "If he is excluded, I will not be happy.It is in the interest of the baby that my father be included."

According to his point of view, his father should expect an express invitation to tea at Nottingham Cottage by next spring. "In due course, there should be a session where everyone can solve this problem properly," she said. Which, it deserves to emphasize, is not so different from what she once claimed, when she insisted with enough strength that Meghan call Thomas and "bow before Dad". Except that now their little meeting will have a secondary purpose. "Everything has to work out," she explained. "I want to allow Meg and Harry to bring my father in there at a time that suits them, because they should be doing very well."

What is magnanimous of her.

Really, she explained, in an interview a few days later with DailyMailTVIt's not just his father's desire to play a role. She is also looking for the future Lord or Lady. "I really want it to be part of the baby's life because my father is so funny, he was so funny to us when we were kids, so I think the baby would miss not being able to meet his grandchild. father and I know that he has a big heart and wants to be involved. "

She has also put forward her own theory of why Meghan ignored her plaintive pleas, although this has nothing to do with her repeated insults or the fact that half-siblings were never so close to 'on board. Maybe, she thought, the Duchess was coping with a lot of things, trying to manage the changes that come with the pregnancy without leaving out the fact that nothing was different from what the eyes of the world were driving on his abdomen looking for the most imperceptible bumps.

"I was not happy with the way my father was treated," she said. The sun in one of his greatest euphemisms so far. "But, you know, we're also seeing now that there was a lot going on – there may have been a lot of stress."

Fortunately, now that they have revealed their little secret, Meghan and Harry have spent the stressful part of her pregnancy. All that remains to be done is to grow a human being while the whole world is watching and preparing for parenthood, knowing that at any given time, half of the population will not fail to be in disagree with your decisions.

In the few days that have passed since Meghan confirmed that, yes, she expects to have already accepted enough gifts to fill a crib and more than a few suggestions as to how to call the # Spring arrival. "We have received a long list of names from everyone," Meghan would have told a group of kids during a trolley ride to Melbourne on Thursday. "We will sit down and watch them."

While the couple filters out all the helpful hints, suggestions and recommendations of not so subtle names (cough, Diane, cough, cough), Samantha insists they will not hear it. With the exception of the congratulatory card she plans to send, she wants to send out a request for information as to when their tete-a-tete with Thomas should take place.

As a mother of three, who said she was very happy to hear the news, she jumped for joy in her wheelchair, said DailyMailTV, "I think everyone really needs to get together and realize that it's really important and special for Meg, for Harry, for the child, for all of us, and that we need to stop I want everything going well in my family and everyone must be on the same page, I want it for the child but I want it for Meg too. "

To this end, she officially apologizes for "the past tension, confusion, misunderstandings and small ideas that I've said when I did not understand what was going on" and vowed that all the tweets to come are of the complementary variety.

"A baby is amazing," she said at the exit. "You can not say anything negative – you can not feel anything negative – it's just a beautiful and amazing thing, so my reaction was:" fuck all that and all that was said. & # 39; "

And she commands others to "put their ego aside" and do the same. "Everyone just needs to be quiet," she insisted, "and that this is a good thing for them, for the whole world, for the family and that's where I am."

Hoping that she is ready to follow her own advice.
