Family fallout Sister-in-law not part of ITV coverage

For weeks, Tracy Dooley has graced morning TV sofas to talk of her relationship with sister-in-law Meghan Markle.

So when she and her sons, Thomas III and Tyler, flew in to Heathrow earlier this week, rumours were rife that they were to become guest pundits on ITV television in the run-up to the wedding.

It now appears the channel has pulled any contract it may have had with them. The exact reasons remain unclear. It is not certain whether Tyler’s decision to name a strain of marijuana, grown at his legal cannabis farm in Oregon, “Markle’s Sparkle” contributed to any fallout.

ITV yesterday issued a statement confirming Ms Dooley and her sons would not be part of any rolling coverage.

“The Dooleys will not be contributing to Good Morning Britain’s

coverage of the royal wedding,” a spokesman said.
