It seems that in the first three episodes of the new Netflix documentary “Harry and Meghan”, the Duke and Duchess managed to tell almost everything. However, Meghan drew attention to another aspect of their lives, namely, the discord with her father Thomas Markle. On the eve of the Sussex marriage in 2018, Thomas entered into an agreement with photographer Jeff Reiner and sold the pictures to the tabloids. He took a series of staged photos in which the father of the future royal person is allegedly preparing for the celebration. According to Megan herself, she could not believe that her parent was capable of this, given that he never showed up at the wedding.
I said to my father, “Listen, they say that you take money from the tabloids for staged photos – is that true?”
Thomas denied everything. Megan asked him to cancel the publication of pictures, but he gave an ambiguous answer.
It was really strange,” she said of his reaction. – I thought it didn’t make sense. I don’t know why, but I didn’t believe him.
Megan’s mom Doria said she was “absolutely stunned that Tom would be part of this circus.” According to her, the ex-husband began to ignore calls. Note that around the same time, Thomas Markle had a heart attack.
He didn’t return my call and instead spoke to TMZ,” Doria said in an interview with the Netflix documentary. – He had a heart attack just a few days before their wedding on May 19, 2018 and we were never able to contact him. Megan sent him dozens of messages and he ended up not showing up for the wedding.
Soon, Megan received a response message containing emoticons and dots, after which the future duchess thought that his phone had been hacked.
And he called me Megan. Meg! All my friends call me Meg, my parents call me Meg and I was like, “That’s not my dad,” she said.
Recall that the Sussexes have a difficult relationship with Thomas Markle. Not so long ago, he criticized his daughter and called Prince Harry. Mr Markle previously chided the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for not taking the kids when they visited the Queen earlier this month ahead of the Invincible Games in The Hague, the Netherlands, calling the gesture “a slap in the face of Her Majesty.” And in May of this year, Thomas Markle was hospitalized with a massive stroke, and, according to rumors, Meghan did not visit him.
