Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly still don't know what to do about her dad, who's given paid interview after paid interview despite her obvious frustrations, but apparently the palace is considering a more aggressive approach to the matter.

"The Palace, who normally takes a firm policy of not commenting on personal matters, is now considering a more aggressive strategy to deal with the situation with both her father and her sister," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "No one wants to see this continue."

It's definitely TBD as to what a more "aggressive" strategy would be, but it seems like if anyone could shut someone down it'd be the British Monarchy, right?

Meghan reportedly hasn't spoken to her dad in the ten weeks since the wedding, where she walked herself down the aisle after he decided not to come the week of the ceremony.

Despite earlier reports, she and Harry are not planning a trip to go see him to smooth things over. "She has gone through periods of difficulty with her father in the past, but she does love him," the source said. "That’s what’s been so difficult about this."

It's not just Meghan's father that's cause for concern. Just this weekend, her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. gave an interview where he called her "selfish" and "cruel." Her half-sister Samantha had some thoughts, too, calling Meghan "inhumane."

The palace isn't as concerned about them, though, particularly Samantha "because she has never had a real relationship with Meghan," the source said.
