Meghan Markle’s Father Is ‘Frankly Dead’ To Her And Prince Harry: ‘They’d Like Him To Go Away’

Prince Harry isn’t the only one with daddy issues with King Charles; Meghan Markle has “no sympathy” for her father, Thomas Markle, even though “he deserves it,” royal biographer Tom Bower says. Speaking to The sunBower reveals that not only has the royal family completely abandoned Thomas, but also the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “they don’t seem to care anymore whether he is actually alive or dead, and would probably rather have him disappear.”

Expert Claims Meghan Markle’s Father “a very decent man, very hardworking and a great father.” However, the American Riviera Orchard entrepreneur thinks differently and said in an interview with Oprah in 2021 that she felt “betrayed” by her father. Thomas has also made his share of mistakes, such as lying or not walking his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day.

Now, at 80 and suffering from two heart attacks, Mr. Markle may not have much time left to make amends with Meghan, especially if she doesn’t want to. Bower tells the outlet:

“They have no sympathy for a man who deserves it and who, sadly, is getting sicker and sicker as he gets older and sicker. When he had a stroke, Meghan left her home in Montecito, but instead of going to Mexico to see her father, she went to the scene of a school shooting. Of course, it was all for the cameras.”

How true is the last statement in the quote, as Meghan called her father a “gem” in 2016 before later going on to say “erase him from her life because he didn’t fit her brand and story.” The top comment for this Reddit r/SaintMeghanMarkle post made an excellent point about the Duchess of Sussex’s true character:

“It just shows the depth of her hypocrisy, doesn’t it? Either he’s someone you loved and then dumped, or he’s someone you didn’t care about but you constructed this story for your own purposes. She should reach out to him while she still can.”

This situation is similar for Prince Harry, as “time is running out” for his chance to mend his relationship with his cancer-stricken father, King Charles. However, such a reconciliation seems impossible given how wide the rift has become, not to mention Charles, William and Harry’s anger issues.
