Denise Welch slammed Thomas Markle’s explosive tell-all interview in which he lifted the lid on Meghan Markle on Tuesday’s Loose Women
Denise Welch told Loose Women viewers that Meghan Markle shouldn’t have to forgive her father Thomas Markle following another bombshell interview.
Loose Women anchor Ruth Langsford asked the panel whether family members were always entitled to forgiveness after the Duchess’ estranged father, her half-sister Samantha and half-brother Thomas Jnr spoke with Australia’s 7NEWS Spotlight.
Denise began: “This is a broader talk than just about the Markles but I just feel I have to say this. Anyone watching [the interview] out of context, it would pull on the heartstrings of a father deserted by his daughter.”
“All I feel is that Meghan knows how despised she is, I’m a Meghan Markle supporter and have been for a long time, but she is despised by a lot of the British press and a lot of the US press.

“It would be very, very easy for her to go and visit her father, have a photograph taken and so much of the world would go, ‘Oh my God, she’s made peace with him, she’s amazing, she’s marvellous.’
“She doesn’t do that for the simple reason that there is more that goes on there that we know about.”
As Ruth interjected to suggest this may not be the case, Denise continued: “Why on earth would she allow herself to be so demonised by people, why would she?”
Denise later added if Thomas hopes his interviews will lead to a reconciliation this “won’t work” before questioning “the point” of talking to the press.

Janet Street-Porter agreed with Denise and also defended the Duchess of Sussex.
She began: “I had a very difficult relationship with my sister and then I thought her behaviour was quite challenging at times but I did forgive her towards the end of her life.
“But with this particular interview with the Markles, I find it very spiteful and they can only be motivated by spite and maliciousness, there can be no other reason.”
Janet continued: “I’ve never put myself as a big fan of Meghan Markle but I feel sorry for her now that she’s got these uncontrollable relatives and they really are uncontrollable.”
