Commentator Neil Sean Predicts Media Change Toward Meghan Markle

Neil Sean, a royal commentator, suggested that over the coming days and weeks, people might see a softening towards Meghan Markle in the mainstream media. Read on to find out what he’s suggesting.

A Distraught Meghan 

Talking to his Daily News Headlines channel on Friday, the commentator said that the media is already coming out with stories that Meghan Markle is “distraught” and desperately in need of family support, with her mother, Doria Ragland cast as the concerned, heartbroken parent.

Sean’s argument seemed simplistic, but then often it takes a simple argument to debunk what others speculate about. He asked why, if Meghan’s mom is so distressed in the aftermath of Thomas Markle Sr.’s arrest, doesn’t she get on a plane and go to the UK? 

Notably, Neil didn’t mention Thomas Markle at all, but everyone who follows the royal family knows that it’s being reported that Meghan Markle is allegedly disturbed by the CSAM allegations. Plus, Doria reportedly helped to identify Thomas Markle Sr. in photos.

What He Said About Doria

Sean said that “according to an excellent source, Doria has no plans to come over here to the United Kingdom.”

Then he opined, “There’s nothing stopping her coming over… There’s nothing to say that she couldn’t travel.”

Slamming Prince Harry and Meghan, the royal family commentator went further, saying that “given the penchant that these two have for private jets, of which they undertook when they went to Brussels… that really wouldn’t be a problem to hoof the mother over here just for some support for his wife who apparently is on the edge at every given moment.”

Viewers who follow Sean heard him lean into a theory that  the “distraught Meghan” story seems a bit doubtful given that the one person who could reportedly comfort her chooses not to show up.

The Support Network

Sean also took aim at recent news about Meghan’s support network. For example, HELLO! reported that a source said: “She speaks to her mum a lot, and Doria has been really supportive. She has a lot on her mind, but she is being supported by friends.”

Well, Neil Sean responded with skepticism. He asked, “What family? I mean, we saw that she got no family at her own wedding.

Meanwhile, People reported “Meghan and her mother are very close…They’re supporting each other.”

Sean wondered, “what family exactly are People magazine talking about? Her friend Kelly’s gone back to California.”

Technically, there was only Doria at the wedding, so it might be worth noting that at least. But her sister Samantha and her younger brother, Thomas Markle Jr were not present. 

The Timing 

Sean predicted that royal family fans would see more about Meghan Markle being “stoic” and mentioned the Brussels outing despite her personal turmoil.

He called out the “mainstream media acolytes” who “want to get behind” Meghan, and urged his audience to “look at the connections on who owns these things, the people behind them, and the narratives that they’re trying to do.”

A PR Exercise?

Mostly, he seems to think that the media talking about the tragic, stoic figure of Meghan holding up during this terrible time is a simple PR exercise rather than a spontaneous outpouring of concern.

Perhaps Sean’s most pointed observation was about the position the Thomas Markle saga puts the royal family in.

The Royal Family

If the palace responds to the “Meghan is distraught” story, they are “involved in this particular story,” which is really what Priince Harry and Meghan want, Sean opined, saying that they “want to bring the monarchy in.”

He claimed a source told him Prince Harry felt “the best place they could be would be in… a sanctum of the royal enclosure, i.e., security.” Not Buckingham Palace, but Windsor. “That’s where she’s always wanted to be,” Sean added.

His advice to the royals was to stay well away from it and stay out of it. He said, “In my opinion, I think the royal family should keep well away from this ongoing narrative. It looks bad. It is bad. It will be bad.”

On Doria’s Parenting

Sean also reached back into Meghan’s history to debunk the “devoted mother” story. He described Doria as “allegedly a free spirit” and said that Meghan “allegedly didn’t see too much of her mom when she was growing up.”

His conclusion was that nothing’s really changed there, and the only thing that’s “changed now is publicity and narrative.”
