Should We Feel Bad For Thomas Markle? Here's The Real Story

Alright, let's dive into this. Should we feel bad that Thomas Markle is "upset"? Meghan Markle’s estranged dad recently opened up in an interview about the reported tension between Meghan and Kate Middleton. And, let's be real, he's not thrilled with how his daughter is being portrayed in all this drama. So, what’s really going on here?

Thomas Markle, who's 74 years old, told The Sun, "If there’s any animosity between Meghan and Kate, they should put their differences aside." He then went on to defend his daughter, the Duchess of Sussex. "I’m very upset by the criticism Meghan is getting. Honestly, I don’t think she deserves it. And let’s be honest, I don’t think she’s doing even a fraction of the things she’s being accused of doing," Thomas said.

Now, Thomas also mentioned that he doesn’t "believe that Meghan is trying to hurt Kate in any way, shape, or form." But here's the catch—he claims he hasn’t had any contact with his daughter in months. "I cannot call Meghan and say, 'What’s going on? How can I help you?'" he admitted.

The former lighting director hasn’t heard from Meghan since he decided not to attend her May wedding. In a previous interview, he confessed he was surprised to learn about the rift between Meghan and her new sister-in-law. "I don’t recognize this person," he said in a new interview with The Mail On Sunday. "The Meghan I know was always sweet, kind, and generous. She was always demanding but never rude." Sounds like he’s holding onto some memories from the past.

Is Meghan Ready to Forgive Her Dad?

Thomas may be saying all the right things now, but does that mean Meghan is ready to forgive him? Not so fast. A royal source told Grazia that "Meghan’s strategy has always been to ignore her father’s comments and not give in to his demands." So, it seems like Meghan’s sticking to her guns.

The source added, "There have been talks about the palace being in crisis, but the truth is they’re sticking to their guns and Meghan is determined not to change her approach. It’s very doubtful there will be a change of stance." Another source doubled down, saying, "There are no crisis talks. The plan is simple, Meghan will continue to ignore her father. But many observers feel that there’s only one way to sort this mess, and that is for Meghan and [Prince] Harry to meet privately with Thomas—and then get him to sign a legally binding non-disclosure agreement." Wow, that's a lot to unpack, isn't it?
