Unlike Piers Morgan and many others in this country, we should recognise a fundamental principle of fairness: Meghan should not be held responsible for the actions of her father, nor should she be subjected to public criticism over matters entirely beyond her control. Whether people like or dislike Harry and Meghan is a matter of personal opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own view. However, that does not justify dragging her name, her husband or, worse still, their children into controversies for which they bear absolutely no responsibility. Whatever her father may or may not have done is a matter for him alone. It is neither Meghan’s responsibility nor that of her family. Attempting to manufacture headlines by exploiting those family connections is deeply unfair, wholly unnecessary and, frankly, inexcusable. There comes a point when common decency must prevail over the pursuit of publicity. We should draw a line under this now. The actions of a parent are not the responsibility of their children, and no family should be made to suffer simply because their name generates headlines. Enough is enough. Leave Meghan and her children out of it.
