Royal family ‘constantly berated’ Prince Harry over Meghan Markle’s father, docs say

They were royally steamed.

The British royal family heaped “constant berating” on Prince Harry while Meghan Markle’s father went on a media tour in 2018, according to Meghan’s texts released Friday by a London court.

The princess eventually wrote a letter to her father asking him to stop; that letter then leaked to a British tabloid, and Meghan sued the tabloid, which is how her texts ended up in court documents.

In the texts, Meghan said she wrote the letter because royals were pestering Harry, according to People magazine.

“The catalyst for my doing this is seeing how much pain this is causing (Harry),” Meghan wrote to her communications chief Jason Knauf. “Even after a week with his dad and endlessly explaining the situation, his family seem to forget the context — and revert to ‘can’t she just go and see him and make this stop?’

“By taking this form of action I protect my husband from this constant berating, and while unlikely perhaps it will give my father a moment to pause.”

Meghan decided on a handwritten letter because it would be harder to leak and wouldn’t invite a conversation from her father, People reported. But it leaked anyway, and Associated Newspapers, which owns The Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, published excerpts.

Meghan and Harry sued the tabloid publisher in 2020 and eventually won several key parts of the suit. Associated Newspapers is appealing the ruling.

In messages to Knauf, Meghan said she chose her words carefully in case the letter leaked, according to People.

“Obviously everything I have drafted is with the understanding that it could be leaked so I have been meticulous in my word choice,” she wrote.
