After Meghan Markle’s parents divorced in 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣7️⃣, everything has changed 😨💥 The once-close bond with her father crumbled, and today, Thomas Markle has never met his royal grandchildren 🥺💔 What fueled this explosive rift, and can the broken connection ever be repaired? 🥲🤔 Read more in the article below ⬇️
Meghan Markle, now part of the British royal family through her marriage to Prince Harry, has a close relationship with her mother, Doria Ragland, but her bond with her father, Thomas Markle, has been strained.
Thomas remembers a loving relationship with Meghan, but things changed after her parents divorced in 1987. As Meghan’s fame grew, Thomas made a mistake by engaging with the media, which worsened their relationship.
Ahead of Meghan’s wedding in 2018, Thomas suffered a heart attack and couldn’t attend. He also sold staged photos to the paparazzi, causing embarrassment for Meghan and the royal family. This led to a deep rift, and Meghan later took legal action when a private letter from her to Thomas was leaked.
Thomas has never met his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, and in 2022, after a stroke, he said Meghan and Harry never reached out to him. He still hopes for reconciliation, but Meghan, who feels betrayed by her father’s media dealings, remains distant.
Despite the pain, Thomas believes he was a good father and longs for Meghan to reconnect.
