In a stunning turn of events, Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the center of controversy, this time in relation to her father’s health. Thomas Markle suffered a stroke last year, and the Duchess of Sussex, who has had a strained relationship with him since before her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, reportedly chose not to acknowledge his hospitalization.
In an interview with The Sun, royal biographer Tom Bower expressed his sympathies for Thomas Markle, describing him as a “decent man” who has been “treated appallingly” by his daughter. Bower criticized Meghan for allegedly ignoring her father’s struggles, even when he had a heart attack that prevented him from attending her wedding.
Bower also called out the Palace for their handling of the situation, accusing them of abandoning Thomas Markle and suggesting that Meghan and Harry themselves may have played a part in dismissing him. The story of Meghan and her father continues to unfold, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for their fractured relationship. The drama surrounding the royal family never seems to end, and Meghan Markle is once again at the center of it all.
