QUEEN TIED TO GET MEGHAN TO REPAIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FATHER
Royal expert Katie Nicholl claims that Queen Elizabeth II tried to get Meghan Markle to repair her relationship with her estranged father Thomas Markle.
“The Queen could see how damaging the situation was between Meghan and her father and she did speak to Meghan about it and tried to encourage her to talk to Thomas,” wrote Nicholl.
A royal source told Nicholl that the Queen felt “the whole thing was quite badly handled with Thomas Markle and it if had been done differently, it would have come out better.”
Nicholl also claimed that the Queen thought that it was a mistake that Prince Harry did not travel to Mexico to meet Thomas.
“I think she felt that Harry should certainly have met Thomas Markle and it was unfortunate that that had to happen,” she wrote.
Thomas was set to walk his daughter down the aisle at St. George’ Chapel. However, King Charles III was eventually the one to walk Meghan down the aisle.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER
There were photos of Thomas getting a suit measured for the wedding. However, he admitted to staging those photos for the paparazzi and bowed out of the ceremony – according to Page Six. He later underwent heart surgery.
“The service was beautiful and it’s history. I will always regret not being able to be there and not being able to hold my daughter’s hand,” he said off the ceremony he watched from his bed according to the publication.
The father-daughter relationship continued to deteriorate after Meghan accused Thomas of leaking a private letter she had penned after the wedding. The Duchess of Sussex sued and won a lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday for publishing her private and emotional letter.
In the letter, Meghan begged her father to stop causing her so much pain.
“Please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband … I realise you are so far down this rabbit hole that you feel (or may feel) there’s no way out, but if you take a moment to pause I think you’ll see that being able to live with a clear conscience is more valuable than any payment in the world,” she wrote.
Meghan was also reportedly labelled a “narcissistic sociopath”. Another royal bombshell claim was that the Queen was hurt by Prince Harry and Meghan’s drama.
