The photos and the controversial secret pact of Meghan Markle's father that humiliated the future Duchess
Less than a week before the royal wedding, Prince Harry's father-in-law is involved in a scandal after being accused of "falsifying" and selling "armed" photos to the press
Less than a week after the historical event that keeps the United Kingdom in suspense, the royal wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, on May 19, the father of the American actress is the protagonist of a controversy.
Thomas Markle was discovered secretly collaborating with the press to take "stolen" photos. In the pictures, with an armed staging, he pretends not to know that he is being photographed by the paparazzi.
In the photos, he is seen in an internet cafe in Mexico palpitating the bond of his daughter. Sitting at a table, he acts as if he is reading Images of Britain, which tours British tourist sites.
The sequence continues with Thomas Markle in front of a computer watching online news about the royal wedding.
The responsible paparazzi was identified, it is Jeff Rayner, a recognized professional in the media who resides in Los Angeles. The security cameras of the premises where the images were taken show the photographer and the father of the bride rehearsing the shots, which according to the Daily Mail were sold for about $ 135,000.
Another one of the shows records him buying a suit for the great event, since Thomas Markle will be in charge of accompanying his daughter to the altar. "It was really strange, he was taking his measurements, but he was not writing them down," David Flores told the Daily Mail.
Faced with the news, which made headlines around the world, his son, Thomas Markle Jr., revealed that his father will apologize to Meghan Markle for the embarrassment he has put him through.
Despite the controversy, Kensington Palace has not come out to answer or clarify the transcendent, and everything remains according to the original plans: the father of the bride will act as best man this Saturday.
