Thomas Markle has broken his silence once again after watching Meghan’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and honestly, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. The audacity of it all is beyond belief.
In her latest Netflix cash grab, Meghan has now decided she no longer wants to be called Meghan anymore. That’s right—the name she had for 36 years before marrying Prince Harry is suddenly not good enough. During a conversation with Mindy Kaling, Meghan corrected her, insisting that she should be referred to as “Markle” and not “Sussex.” And now, she’s discarding the Markle family name altogether.
Thomas Markle’s response to this revelation was heartbreaking. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said, “My mother loved Meghan very much, but she would be so disappointed to hear that Meghan no longer wants to use the name Markle.” Then came the line that really hit home: “Now, I have to say I am Meghan Sussex’s dad.”
Can you imagine having to refer to your own daughter by a title she acquired through marriage rather than the family name she was born with? It’s a slap in the face, and the worst part is, it’s not even a real royal title in the traditional sense. “Sussex” is just a territorial designation Harry received—it’s not a surname like Windsor-Mountbatten.
This is the same woman who went on Oprah, claiming she felt silenced and trapped—yet she continues to exploit her royal connections at every turn. She’s quite literally crafting a personal brand out of her duchess status while simultaneously rejecting her actual family. The hypocrisy is staggering.
But wait—there’s more. In the Netflix series, Meghan portrays herself as a latchkey kid who ate TV dinners on a tray, feeding into the rags-to-riches, self-made narrative she’s been pushing for years.
Thomas Markle completely disputes this. He worked two jobs to ensure that Meghan never wanted for anything. He personally picked her up from school every day—she was never a latchkey kid. This rewriting of her personal history is just another example of her desperate attempts to seem more relatable.
Remember when she claimed she knew nothing about the royal family before meeting Harry? Then, old blog posts resurfaced where she had written about Kate and William’s wedding and even mentioned her dream of being a princess. The constant revision of her past to fit whatever narrative she’s pushing is exhausting.
Meanwhile, the Real Princess Handles Adversity with Grace
While Meghan is out of touch with reality, the real Princess of Wales, Catherine, has been enduring her health battles with dignity and grace. She has remained devoted to her family and duties without using her struggles for public sympathy.
On one hand, you have Meghan—leveraging a royal title she didn’t earn while rejecting her actual family. On the other, you have Catherine—who embodies everything a true royal should be.
Thomas Markle hasn’t seen his daughter since before her 2018 wedding. He was supposed to walk her down the aisle, but a heart attack prevented him from attending.
“I still don’t know why she cut me off,” he said, still bewildered by Meghan’s actions.
And the saddest part? Thomas has never even met his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. Can you imagine denying your children a relationship with their grandfather over what seems to be nothing more than wounded pride?
These children will grow up never knowing their Markle family heritage. And Harry? He seems completely blind to it all. This is a man who was once incredibly close to his brother William, beloved by the British public, and devoted to the Queen. Now, he’s isolated in California, cut off from family and friends.
One has to wonder what Prince William makes of all this—watching his brother throw everything away for a life of endless Netflix deals and publicity stunts. Seeing these public spectacles that continue to damage the monarchy must be frustrating beyond belief.
What kind of person cuts off both sides of their family and then has the audacity to claim they care about family values? The answer: someone who values status over substance. Someone who sees relationships as transactions rather than meaningful connections.
I know my channel attracts a lot of supporters of the working royals, and I’m right there with you. King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine represent everything right about the monarchy—duty, service, and dignity. They put the institution above personal gain, and they have remained steadfast throughout all of this nonsense.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan continue their endless cycle of repackaging the same grievances for different media outlets. It’s a masterclass in hypocrisy.
Thomas Markle deserves better. The royal family deserves better. And honestly? Even Harry deserves better.
