Meghan Markle, the tears of her father Thomas: "My daughter keeps me away from Lilibeth too"
«I suffer, it seems absurd not to be able to take my niece Lilibeth Diana in her arms. I have apologized millions of times to my daughter and I hope it will be possible sooner or later to be able to talk to my Duchess again ». It is the outburst of Thomas Markle, the father Meghan removed from her life. Thomas Markle, 76, a retired senior Hollywood lighting director, lives 70 miles from the Los Angeles home of the Dukes of Sussex. He no longer has relations with Meghan, since the day of his wedding with Prince Harry, which took place three years ago.
ARCHIES
He has never met Archie, the first grandson, and now he fears he will not even be able to meet little Lilibeth Diana, the eleventh royal babies. An estrangement that he cannot overcome: he does not resign. "I don't understand", he revealed in an interview with a popular American newspaper, "how such an important relationship could have crumbled." Those between Meghan and her father Thomas are long-standing disagreements: the man should have accompanied her daughter to the wedding, but he withdrew from the ceremony due to health problems. A heart attack that would have caught him a few days after the event. The relationship was further soured when Thomas began giving interviews in which he claimed that he had not been officially invited to the wedding and that he had been "cut off" by the Dukes of Sussex.
Oprah Winfrey
Meghan is convinced (she revealed it to Oprah Winfrey on TV) that her father has betrayed her and intentionally hurt her and that a rapprochement would only be possible if her father were able to truly apologize for her. Which Thomas claims he has done thousands of times, and now also publicly in an interview.
Buckingham Palace
But while in the Markle house, the birth of Lilibeth created new turmoil, in the house of the Royals, the arrival of the child was almost warmly welcomed. A daughter strongly desired by the fugitive couple, who now also holds the bench on social media in opposite ways, until the next real event. According to mere mortals, by giving the little girl the nickname of her grandmother, Meghan and Harry averted the danger they fear most, namely the revocation of the noble title that according to a survey carried out in the UK they do not deserve to keep, but which would cause damage for them of image.
THE POST
Others, on the other hand, indicate baby Lilibeth Diana as the "miracle child", thanks to which the tension generated by Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey and by Harry's careless public statements will ease. If in fact the official statement of Buckingham Palace is very formal ("The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been informed and are delighted with the news of the birth of a daughter for the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex "), the post on the Royal Family's official Instagram profile is much warmer:" Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the birth of Lilibet Diana! The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted with the news. Lilibet is the eleventh great grandson of her Majesty ".
Harry and Meghan, Queen Elizabeth was not informed about the choice of the name Lilibet in honor of her. Here's how she reacted
The Dukes of Cambridge
Even the post of the Dukes of Cambridge on their Instagram profile is just as courteous and seems sincere and decidedly like "uncles" and including a diminutive for the child: "We are all happy with the good news of the arrival of little Lili. Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie ", and so is that of Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla:" Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie on the arrival of little Lilibet Diana. We wish them all the best in this special moment ”. Who knows if the Markles are approaching a reunion too. The father is under "indictment" for declaring that Harry would not properly support Meghan at a delicate moment when he was thinking about suicide. "I must have made a lot of mistakes," he adds, "but I've never done striptease in the pool or dressed up as Hitler like her husband did."
Doria Ragland
He never stopped loving her, she assures her, and he never will. Meghan is very attached to her mother, Doria Ragland, who in these days, friends of the family tell, she would live in the pharaonic residence in LA taking care of Archie. The father asks in every way to be accepted at the American "court". And he who knows if the reconciliation does not take place directly from Oprah Winfrey who for months has been collecting confidences and secrets of the rebellious Sussex.
