Meghan Markle ‘Wants to Stay Away’ From Her Dad As Long As He Blasts Her New Royal Family
Yet another "close friend" of Meghan Markle is talking to Daily Mail, making it clear that if Thomas Markle decides to give yet another interview to that outlet, TMZ, The Sun, or wherever else this weekend, he's just further reducing his chances of ever reconciling with her. "The more he speaks with the media, the more she wants to stay away," the source said. "The more he blasts the royal family, the more she wants to stay away."
Meghan at this point is so embarrassed by him and sees the drama with him as "the elephant in the room when she's with people she doesn't know very well," the source said. "What frustrates Meghan the most is that her father doesn't seem to take responsibility for any his actions, as if he can do no harm, and everyone else is to blame. Well, he is harming her by putting down the royal family. He's harming her by making everything public."
As Thomas himself said during his Good Morning Britain interview, Meghan and Prince Harry told him not to speak to the press. The friend echoed this, explaining that "from the get-go, she made it crystal clear that speaking to the press was absolutely prohibited. That out of respect for Harry, this was completely taboo....The last thing she ever wanted was a media circus starring her dad."
Young Meghan "was the family people-pleaser, always trying to make others happy, including her dad," the source explained. "She's not the same person anymore. Of course she feels hurt."
This new report comes days after sources told The Sun that Thomas has treated Meghan like this most of her adult life and she has a "long history of dad disappointment." It also follows a report from The Sunday Times that, per multiple sources, Meghan has no plans to respond to Thomas publicly. “Meghan doesn’t think it’s a fair game between her father and the media so she’s not going to engage in it or instruct anyone on her behalf to set the record straight,” one source told The Sunday Times. So this continues until Thomas stops giving interviews or outlets stop running them.
