Thomas Markle opens up on major fear about Meghan Markle and her children

Meghan Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle, turns 80 in just a few weeks’ time, and he has mixed emotions about hitting an important milestone in his life, feeling that everything has been “overshadowed” by what has happened in the last six years.

Growing up, Meghan had a close relationship with her father, but the two have been estranged for the past six years, making a reconciliation in the future unlikely – they have not seen each other since before her wedding to Prince Harry.

Mr Markle was unable to walk her down the aisle after he also suffered heart attacks on the eve of their wedding – and the couple have not spoken since. To this day, Mr Markle has also never met his grandchildren Prince Archie, five, Princess Lilibet, three.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “I’ve never been one for birthdays, but I know the one person I most want to hear from, Meghan, won’t be in touch. I would love to meet my grandchildren, but I would be happy with a photograph at this stage.”

The father of the Duchess of Sussex remains confused as to why he has never met his son-in-law. He said: “When I reflect back on my life, as you do when you are approaching 80, that’s one of the questions I cannot find an answer for.”

He added: “Why didn’t Harry ever come to meet me? He has the resources to fly around the world – and does – but why didn’t he come to see me…” He further questioned: “What man gets married without meeting his wife’s father?”

The Daily Mail explains throughout the interview, Mr Markle “struggled to find words” or “stumbled over sentences” because of the effects of a serious stroke he suffered two years ago.

It is reported he feels “deep empathy” for King Charles, who is “in the same boat” as to not have spent time with his grandchildren.

He further questioned: “I have so many questions I’d like to ask Meghan and Harry. The main one being, why have they treated not only me but the Royal Family and the King so badly.”

Prince William’s brutal reason for cutting ties as Harry hurt him ‘more than he’d admit’

Prince William and Prince Harry were once incredibly close but the brothers’ bond has been shattered and there are clear reasons the future King cut ties

Prince William is “sensitive” and was hurt by his rift with Prince Harry “more than he’d care to admit” – but there was one key reason he found it “easier” to cut ties with his younger brother, a Royal expert has claimed.

Once upon a time, William and Harry were inseparable but it is believed the chasm between them has widened so much in recent years that a reconciliation seems unlikely. Since his departure from the Royal family, Harry, along with his wife Meghan Markle, have been vocal critics of the monarchy; their criticisms have been aired in their notorious Oprah interview, their Netflix series, various interviews, and in his memoir, Spare.

Their constant revelations have strained William’s relationship with Harry – and one Royal expert suggests there’s a personal reason why the future King decided to “cut ties” with his younger sibling.

Ingrid Seward highlighted the significance of stability in William’s life as she told the Mirror: “William is sensitive, he likes structure and has perseverance. He does not give up easily. His relationship with brother Harry upset him more than he would care to admit. But he found it easier to cut ties rather than allow himself to be continually annoyed.”

Reflecting on the tumultuous period for William, Ingrid Seward told the Mirror: “His father got cancer and Kate had a serious abdominal operation. Later to announce she too had to have cancer treatment. William played both mother and father to the children while he carried on with his royal duties supporting the Queen in his father’s absence. The traumas of the past year have made him a stronger person. He has become the kind of man Diana always hoped he would be. Kind considerate and able to take on whatever life throws at him.”

The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry appears to have deepened, with reports suggesting that the Prince of Wales has cut off contact with his brother. During a candid interview on ’60 Minutes’ in January 2023, Harry was quizzed about whether he communicates with William, to which he replied: “Currently, no. But I look forward to… I look forward to us being able to find peace.”

When questioned about the last time they spoke, Harry conceded it had been “a while.”

He also revealed a similar distance with his father, King Charles, stating: “We haven’t spoken for quite a while. No, not recently.”

However, Harry remains hopeful for a future reconciliation, saying: “But at the heart of it, there is a family, without question. And I really look forward to having that family element back. I look forward to having a relationship with my brother. look forward to having a relationship with my father and other members of my family. My brother and I love each other. I love him deeply. There has been a lot of pain between the two of us, especially the last six years.”

Prince Harry’s last appearance in the UK was at the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in May, during which he did not meet his father. This despite Charles’s offer of Royal accommodation to Harry, which was turned down, leading some to question the cited reason of a ‘full schedule’.

Harry and Charles shared their most recent encounter in February, a brief meeting of 45 minutes in London amidst Charles’ cancer battle.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle LIVE: Duchess ‘not happy’ after major Taylor Swift move

Meghan Markle in the past reportedly tried to woo Taylor Swift with a handwritten letter to convince her to appear on her podcast but was rejected.

Meghan Markle will likely be “not happy” to see Taylor Swift “choosing” to support Team Wales after the American popstar took a selfie with Prince William and his two eldest children, two commentators have argued.

The Prince of Wales last week attended the first concert of Swift’s three-night Eras Tour events at Wembley with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The trio later met with the singer backstage and took selfies with her.

Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi said: “If there’s one thing Meghan covets above all else is celebrity attention and the former actress probably isn’t going to be happy with Taylor Swift making time for William and his children.”

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield echoed her statement, adding: “If you recall, Meghan Markle handwrote a letter to Taylor Swift asking her to appear on her podcast and Taylor had her people reach back out to Meghan and decline that invitation.

“But Prince William and Taylor have a very good history, there’s a very funny video of them from 2013 rocking it out with Bon Jovi at a charity event. (…) I do think this is Taylor saying, ‘I found a side, I’ve chosen a side’.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s ‘graceless’ antics ‘would have appalled Princess Diana’, controversial Lady Colin Campbell claims

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s “graceless” behaviour would have “appalled” the late Princess Diana according to Lady Colin Campbell.

The controversial writer, 69, accused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of “trotting out the charm when it suits them” in an explosive new interview.

Speaking to Woman magazine she said: “Diana would be appalled, she had enough nous to know when to put on a show.

“She was very aware of how important it was to be gracious, while Meghan – and Harry to an extent – trot out the charm when it suits them, but otherwise are graceless.

“Her behaviour shows a lack of understanding and appreciation of what  being royal is. I’m not sure who she thinks she is behaving this way.”

The outspoken author, who has published three books on the royals, went on to say that she thinks the Duke and Duchess are “depriving” fans by being “pretentious.”

It comes just days after Lady Colin warned Meghan “to be a lady not a hustler” on Good Morning Britain.

She said the Duchess of Sussex, 38, needs to “change her act” from being an actress to royal.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Lady Colin said: “I have an awful feeling that Meghan needs to understand things that she doesn’t yet understand.

“Like there’s a massive difference between being a celebrity hustling your way from the bottom to the top – and she was a very proud hustler, she used to use the word hustle for herself and her first husband very proudly – and being a lady or being a royal.

“You don’t hustle, the values, the embodiment is completely different.”

Last month she urged the Duchess of Sussex to stop acting like a celebrity and branded her “cheap and vulgar” in an explosive interview.

Speaking to Closer magazine she said: “She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one.

“Royalty do not behave like celebrities do. It’s cheap, vulgar and irresponsible.”

In other royal news, a royal commentator has claimed that the Queen has made an “unusual” effort to welcome Meghan as she doesn’t want her to feel alienated like Princess Diana.

And we told you how the Queen “will gift Meghan and Harry a holiday home” according to a royal expert.

In April she advised that Meghan should avoid becoming a “political activist” as the “royals must represent all of the people” and she should know when “keep her mouth shut”.

Lady Colin added: “There are many conservative people, all over the world, many religious people, who do not have these ‘woke’ and ‘right-on’ views.”

The project saw the Duchess of Sussex select 15 women to be featured on the cover, choosing not to star herself, whom she hails “forces for change.”

The magazine has sparked a storm of protest, with critics reminding Meghan that royals must remain neutral at all times.

Meghan has since been criticsed for the “leftie” cover by Leo McKinstry who, similarly to Lady Colin, warns Meghan must stay out of politics like Kate.

Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe said: “Royals have not only got to keep out of politics but they have got to be seen to keep out of politics.”

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: “The Duchess of Sussex has done a huge favour for the House of Conde Naste (Vogue’s publisher) and rather less for the House of Windsor.”

In other royal news, we told you how the Queen “will gift Meghan and Harry a holiday home” according to a royal expert.

It was revealed that the Queen has a secret Love Island connection after villa owner revealed as distant granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

Certainly! Here’s a refined version of the content focusing on accurate details and removing speculation:

Recently, Celine Dion marked a triumphant return to the spotlight at Katy Perry’s Las Vegas show, showcasing her enduring talent following a brief absence due to illness.

Her presence at the Resorts World Theater was celebrated, demonstrating her enduring appeal in the entertainment world.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the event, reportedly seated separately from Dion and other celebrities.

Despite Meghan’s attempt to engage with Dion, it was noted that their interaction did not unfold as expected.

This incident, including a purported remark about Dion’s health, has sparked some controversy, highlighting the challenges Meghan and Harry face in navigating their public appearances.

In the broader context, there have been discussions about Meghan and Harry’s evolving social status and relationships within the entertainment industry.

Reports suggest they may be experiencing a shift in how they are perceived, contrasting with the growing popularity of Prince William and Kate Middleton, particularly in the United States.

Additionally, anticipation surrounds Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, with speculation on its potential impact on his relationship with the royal family, notably with William and Kate.

Amidst these developments, there is also speculation about Meghan and Harry’s attendance at King Charles’s 75th birthday celebration, with their representative clarifying that no formal invitation has been extended.

These recent events underscore the complexities of royal life in the public eye, where perceptions and relationships can evolve amidst media scrutiny and personal challenges.

This version provides a clear and factual overview of the events and speculations mentioned earlier, focusing on accurate information and avoiding the speculative elements present in the original content.

Meghan Markle’s biological mother condemns the British royal family for pushing her daughter into a corner, revealing a plan: “My daughter will be queen.”

Doria Ragland, a steadfast pillar of support for her daughter Meghan Markle, exuded a blend of pride and concern during an intimate gathering with a carefully selected cadre of journalists at her residence.

With a graceful yet resolute demeanor, she illuminated the complexity of Meghan’s position within the royal family.

In her poignant address, Ragland first highlighted Meghan’s intellectual prowess and remarkable achievements, acknowledging her daughter’s status as a formidable force within the royal circle.

My daughter,” she began, her voice imbued with maternal pride, “embodies not just intelligence, but a rare courage to confront power with truth.”

She underscored Meghan’s unwavering commitment to speaking truth to those in authority, including King Charles, Prince William, and even her own husband, Prince Harry.

‘Oh my God, this is not possible. This isn’t true. What’s happening?” Meghan Markle’s Mom Doria Ragland not happy with daughter after Kate Middleton unveiled heartbreaking secret

 

As most royal nerds and Californians already know, a little more than a week ago, it was reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left Canada to move to Los Angeles. And according to a source, the reason for this seemingly sudden change of location was because Meghan and Harry “realized Canada would not work out for various reasons and they want to be based in the Los Angeles area. They have a big support network there…Meghan has lots of friends there and, of course, her mum, Doria.”

 

However, a new report in The Sun says Meghan hasn’t seen her mom since moving to L.A. even though they live “just 10 miles away.” But of course, it’s not because Meghan and her mom have any issues but rather because Meghan and Harry are carefully self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic. A source shares:

“Meghan is absolutely heartbroken—after all, one of the main reasons she decided to live in L.A. was to be near her mum. Because of her age, Doria obviously has to be careful and Meghan and Harry are sticking rigidly to all formal guidelines when it comes to coronavirus. They’ve been WhatsApping and FaceTiming almost daily but obviously it’s not the same.”

And while it’s hard for all of us to self-isolate from family and friends amid the pandemic, it’s one of the best ways to keep everyone safe. So kudos to Meghan and Harry for setting a good example and helping to protect their community. ❤️

 

“If she comes there will be a huge amount of adverse publicity because of the way she has acted for the past four years. On top of that, you have the issue of Archie and Lilibet — who are completely blameless.”

Fitzwilliams also said now that the Sussexes lost their bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection would also be an “excuse” not to visit.

“If she comes there will be a huge amount of adverse publicity because of the way she has acted for the past four years. On top of that, you have the issue of Archie and Lilibet — who are completely blameless.”

Fitzwilliams also said now that the Sussexes lost their bid for taxpayer-funded UK security protection would also be an “excuse” not to visit.

“The security would be decided on a case-by-case basis, they would make sure the trip was secure from the point of view of the UK,” he continued. “I think security could be used as an excuse not to come though.”

“Meghan has every right to come but they have been thrown out of Frogmore and for a good reason,” Fitzwilliams added.

“Spare and the interviews around it were horrible frankly. She has the perfect excuse not to come over because Harry has lost his security case.”

The Waleses have had a years-long rift with the Sussexes, but it was recently reported that the pair may be looking to bury the hatchet once and for all.

Meghan Markle will ‘no doubt’ overtake Kate Middleton in popularity

Rumours have been circulating that Meghan Markle is set to make a big return to Instagram, with one expert suggesting she could overtake Kate Middleton in terms of popularity

Meghan Markle has faced a tough few months recently, but things could be about to change for the Duchess of Sussex.

Speculation has been mounting that Meghan is set to return to Instagram and relaunch her popular blog The Tig, with one PR expert suggesting she could overtake her sister-in-law Kate Middleton when it comes to popularity. A recent survey showed Kate and her husband Prince William way out in front in terms of popularity among the public.

However, PR to the stars Mayah Riaz believes this will soon change. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “It’s no doubt when Meghan re-joins Instagram she will overtake Kate in terms of popularity.

“Kate’s Instagram is curated with huge precision. There are things which Kate isn’t able to post.”

Mayah pointed out how it’s likely Kate has staff posting to social media on her behalf. The PR expert added: “Therefore, it paints a picture perfect life which the Royal Family are keen to portray.”

Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family three years ago, before moving to America with her husband Prince Harry. Mayah said this will allow Meghan to “post what she wishes”.

“She wont have to run it by anyone for approval before posting it,” Mayah explained. Speaking about what we could expect from Meghan’s Instagram, she added: “We can see all aspects of Meghan and her family life.”

Mayah said Meghan is likely to grab widespread media attention with her Instagram account. She told us: “We don’t often see Kate’s Instagram posts making headlines. However, Meghan’s life on Instagram will lead to headlines. We can also expect to hear news of projects announced first on her Instagram.”

Meghan and Harry were recently spotted dancing the night away at Beyoncé’s concert in California. Mayah said: “We have seen footage of Meghan dancing at Beyoncé’s concert as well as public display of affection with Harry. We would never see Kate and William like this.

“This is why there will be day and night difference between Meghan and Kate’s Instagram. Let’s not forget, people who love to hate Meghan will bizarrely still follow Meghan’s Instagram.”

However, she warned Meghan could be targeted by online trolls. “We are more likely to believe that Meghan herself will be posting on her Instagram. This will lead to an explosion of followers very quickly when it’s confirmed that @meghan is her account.

“Along with the explosion of following, I fear that a lot of it will be trolling. We have seen the amount of hate directed her way on Twitter (X) and sadly, I think that will follow on Instagram too.”

Royal fans call for Meghan and Harry to return to the royal family but Princess Anne opposes

Amid Princess Anne’s increased royal duties, there’s growing chatter about Meghan and Prince Harry’s potential return to the fold.

As Princess Anne reportedly takes on 70% of the royal family’s duties, royal fans call for Meghan and Harry’s return to the royal family.

Princess Anne’s hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Recent reports indicate she’s been shouldering the lion’s share (70%) of royal responsibilities. The spike comes in the wake of King Charles and Kate Middleton stepping away from their royal duties as both grapple with health conditions and intense media scrutiny towards Kate for posting an ‘edited’ family image on Mother’s Day.

With her unwavering efforts, Princess Anne’s workload has exceeded that of her brother, King Charles. Princess Anne’s dedication to royal duties raises questions about the workload distribution within the royal family.

As Princess Anne’s workload increases, there’s a presumption about who will step up to share the burden. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit from the royal family left a gap that hasn’t been filled yet. Nevertheless, with the recent developments concerning Princess Anne’s responsibilities, some reason that it’s time for Harry and Meghan to rethink their decision. The calls for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to return to the UK gain voice to relieve these mounting workloads.

The Royal family’s official diary, from 18/03/2024 to 10/5/2024, has in it 55 public engagements that Princess Anne agreed to. Her day will be exhausting, as she is attending five events on the same day, and the remaining weekends suggest that the national tour means she also attended a trip to Scotland recently. The huge amount of her responsibilities is one of the pivotal reasons for people to get concerned about her mental health and the conversation of whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should return to being working royals keeps on happening.

In total, the eight-week period in question lists 78 public royal engagements. The Duke and The Duchess of Edinburgh will jointly attend two of these. The breakdown of the engagements is as follows: The Princess Royal with 55, The Duchess of Edinburgh with 13, The Duke of Gloucester and The Duke of Edinburgh with four each, Birgitte, The Duchess of Gloucester with three, and The Queen with one.

The royal family is observing a break for the Easter holidays, with no engagements planned from Good Friday, March 29th, until April 5th. Kate is also set to return to royal duties after Easter.

The thought of Prince Harry and Meghan coming back into the royal family isn’t without its challenges. Questions about their roles, duties, and public perception would need to be handled. Furthermore, Prince Harry and Meghan have voiced their desire for financial independence and sovereignty. Returning to the royal fold could mean forfeiting some of the freedoms they’ve achieved since stepping back.

The couple’s place in the monarchy has come up again in the spotlight due of Princess Anne’s workload. Calls for Prince Harry and Meghan to return have been made, but will they follow their own course?
