Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, has drawn a poignant comparison between his own suffering and that of King Charles in a recent interview.
According to OK! magazine, a source revealed that the Duchess of Sussex is struggling with the resurgence of painful memories following her father's latest public appeal.
In an emotional interview with the Daily Mail, the retired lighting designer expressed his desire to reconcile with his daughter as he nears his 80th birthday.
Meghan has been estranged from Thomas since he leaked personal information to the press for money around the time of her wedding to Prince Harry.
“It’s been a hard week for Meghan, and she feels like she’s constantly under attack,” the source shared. “The revelations about her and her dad’s private talks have been hard, as she thought she had moved on from that.”
The source continued, “They were always so close, and although she had cut him out from her life after everything, it still understandably devastates her that they no longer speak.”
The insider noted that the estrangement has left Meghan feeling increasingly isolated. “She no longer speaks to her own family, apart from her mum, and they no longer have anything to do with Harry’s family. At times, it is understandable that she feels quite isolated.”
“She was always so close to her dad and misses being able to talk to him, as he would always give good advice. But Meghan knows that she can’t go back,” they added.
