Explaining why this latest drama has been a “public relations disaster”, Mr Dolan said: “This is a nightmare for Meghan, and it is a public relations disaster because she’s trying to rehabilitate herself in the world of Hollywood. She’s got her ailing business empire, As Ever, which is basically a bit of honey and a couple of flower sprinkles. It’s turned into a bitter war of words, and all Thomas Markle gets from Meghan is one of her creepy calligraphy letters.
“When you’re dying, and your last hope is to meet your daughter, and you get some correspondence, I think that’s a real slap in the face. Given that Meghan knew Thomas Markle was fighting for his life, if that’s not a wakeup call, and you can’t jump on a plane or call him, then nothing will change. Meghan would have to have an entire personality transplant. She has to develop some empathy, of which she has shown precious little.”
