Meghan Markle has purportedly chosen to withhold her father, Thomas Markle, the chance to meet his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, fulfilling his dying wish. The Duchess of Sussex's strained relationship with her estranged father has been under public scrutiny, and Svar Nanan-Sen, the digital royal editor, explored Meghan's decision in a piece for GB News.
Nanan-Sen emphasized Meghan's decision to sever ties with her father, a move triggered by his orchestration of paparazzi photos and subsequent revelation of a private letter from Meghan. Consequently, Thomas Markle has been deprived of the opportunity to connect with his grandchildren.
In a recent public plea for a reunion with Archie and Lilibet, Thomas Markle not only expressed his desire but also criticized his daughter. He asserted that Meghan was no longer the daughter he once knew and described her treatment of him as "cruel."
Nanan-Sen drew attention to the marked contrast between Thomas' comments and
Meghan's relationship with her mother, Doria Ragland. The close bond shared by
the mother-daughter duo, evident in numerous public appearances, stands in
stark opposition to Thomas Markle's depiction of a 'cruel' experience with his
daughter.
"Meghan's tight-knit connection with Ragland, captured in
photographs alongside Prince Harry during significant public events this year,
contrasts sharply with the strained dynamic with Thomas Markle," noted
Nanan-Sen.
