this morning, mr markle's daughter by his first marriage defended what he had done.lly suffered at the hands of the media. they have presented him in the most horrible ways, highly inaccurate, and the goal of those photographs was basically because he was feeling defenceless. they had the advantage of both portraying them however they wanted, which was entirely inaccurate. and i think a person has a right to say, wait a minute, enough is enough. whether kensington palace could have done more to guide mr markle is open to debate. he is a private american citizen living thousands of miles away, but it is clear there have been concerns at the palace about his vulnerability for some weeks. in windsor, preparations for the wedding are gathering pace, with a question mark over whether the father of the bride will be there. meghan markle, by all accounts, is still hoping very much that he will. nicholas witchell, bbc news. with me is someone with a very interesting perspective on some of these stalls and not least the challenge of marrying into this kind of amazingly promin
