Meghan Markle’s Father Longs for Reconciliation on 80th Birthday, Sparking Criticism

Estranged Duchess Faces Accusations of Hypocrisy

Thomas Markle, father of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, is expressing a deep desire for reconciliation with his daughter on the occasion of his upcoming 80th birthday. However, his interview with the Mail on Sunday paints a picture of despair, with Mr. Markle fearing there’s no chance of reuniting with Meghan.

“The one person I most want to hear from, Meghan, won’t be in touch,” he revealed, highlighting the complicated and fractured relationship they share. Mr. Markle’s birthday will be bittersweet, overshadowed by the estrangement that has plagued the family for the past six years.

This longing for reconciliation extends to his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. Mr. Markle admits to a simple desire for a photograph at this point, expressing his disappointment at never having met them.

Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich took aim at Meghan in response to the interview, criticizing what she perceives as hypocrisy. “It is a frightfully sad story,” Ms. Fordwich stated on GB News, “She claims to care about so many other people, yet has no empathy for her own father.

This sentiment extends to Mr. Markle’s comment about feeling a kinship with King Charles, another royal figure estranged from his grandchildren.

The interview has sparked concerns about the impact on the Sussexes’ public image. Mark Dolan, the GB News host, believes Mr. Markle’s words will be a “thorn in the side” for Harry and Meghan, considering their focus on public relations.

Meanwhile, reports suggest Meghan is reaching out to former co-stars from the television show Suits for her new podcast. However, socialite Lizzie Cundy raises questions about potential difficulties, alleging Meghan “ghosted” some of these same actors in the past.

Royal commentator Lee Cohen takes a harsher stance, labeling the Sussexes as “Hollywood toxicity” and claiming they’ve become “box office poison.”
