If a qualified psychologist recommends that the first thing to do as a father who wants to reconcile with his daughter who broke off everything is to go on TV and open everything up, then he probably isn't really qualified and you might want to cut off any contact with the above counselor. Especially if you are Thomas Merkel - Dad Of Megan, Duchess of Sussex.
Just when we thought Mr. Merkel was a little silent, he pushed another check into his pocket for an interview and returned to dig into the wound of the British royal house with the constant monologue of "My daughter doesn't talk to me anymore".
"I want Harry and Megan to watch the movie and understand that it's unfair. Whether Harry realizes it or not, he belongs to my family and I belong to his family," Merkel explains immediately in the opening 70-minute documentary filmed in October, which includes six sessions by director David Model with Megan Merkel's father.
The movie "Megan's Dad: My Side," which was screened in Israel last week a week after it aired in the UK, is a work that is hard to take away. It's juicy, nauseating and yellow, it's trash at its best. Merkel shares the viewers with all of his private conversations with Harry, in their arguments, on the phone slam to Prince, and also compares his personal situation to that of Princess Diana, Harry's mother.

Through the film, Merkel clarifies his complex relationship with Megan, restores her shared period of adolescence and even returns with the photography team to the same home. He admits that he cried while watching TV on Prince Charles leading her to her wedding, giving a detailed explanation of why he directed paparazzi photos, and boasts that the same images that complicate him are also the ones that make him a percentage of the profits every time they are published somewhere in the world.
Thomas Merkel's living room has good merchandise. For example, a mug marking the birth of Archie - the grandson he has not yet met; And strange letters he received but was afraid to open for fear of his life. "The years with Megan were the happiest years of my life," the interviewer puts words into his mouth, and Thomas cooperates completely.
Compared to the recent publicity film Megan and Harry filmed in Africa, her father's film transmits authenticity. It has fewer planned scenes and little thought of its implications. It's a movie that came out of Thomas's heart, and it's all about trying to squeeze the lemon and make as much cash as possible. Therefore, his disappointment is understood by the fact that the couple has renounced their royal status. "Every girl dreams of being a princess, and Megan throws it away. Probably $ 3 million and a 26-bedroom house isn't enough for them. Shameful."

75-year-old Merkel is a frustrated and miserable man who misses his daughter and has more alienated and sarcastic treatment than he deserves. However, he does not at all understand the reality and the form in which his actions are seen in other eyes. For example, the movie is packed with his personal videos with Megan - school plays, vacations, etc. It helps to understand their relationship, but in light of contemporary reality - exposing the films in such a yellow film can also be interpreted as a violation of Megan's privacy on such turbulent days.
Merkel repeatedly complains about the advice he received from Harry throughout, as they spoke here and there. "Stay home, close the door behind you and don't talk to anyone," the prince told him, but Father Merkel just couldn't shut his mouth. If he had that ability, this whole story would never have happened.
