Meghan Markle is being asked to consider reconciling with her estranged dad, Thomas Markle over the holidays.
In its Sept. 25 issue, Closer UK claimed that Markle reconciling with her dad would do wonders for the Duchess of Sussex’s image. And since Markle and her dad will always be family, it’s best for them to reconcile as soon as possible instead of dragging things out further.
The source insisted that Thomas is already old and he’s not also doing very well health-wise, so there’s no reason for Markle to not give him the time of day.
“He is elderly and not well so for her own peace of mind, she must try to make peace and let him see his grandchildren before he dies. Once he’s gone, she may well feel huge regret,” the source said.
Royal commentator Katie Nicholl also said that what Markle is doing isn’t sitting well with everyone. After all, she’s a philanthropist who can’t seem to forget her dad for what he’s done.
It’s been years since the Duchess of Sussex last spoke to her dad. And Thomas has also apologized to his daughter both publicly and in private. However, Markle still chose to freeze him out.
So, when she had her children, Archie and Lilibet, she never shared their photos with their grandfather. Thomas also previously revealed that he found out that his daughter had given birth in the news.
For Nicholl, Markle is now being depicted as someone who is unforgiving because of what she’s been doing to her dad.
“Meghan does risk appearing unforgiving and uncaring of her father, who’s getting older and isn’t in great health. There are now two grandchildren Thomas hasn’t met, which must be upsetting,” the source said.
The royal commentator also said that reconciling with her dad should be finally done over the holidays.
However, it seems that a reconciliation between the two won’t happen anytime soon. After all, Thomas continues to shade his daughter in public and until he stops, Markle might not give him the time of day.
Prince Harry hasn’t also spoken to Thomas in years. And the last time they spoke was years ago.
Markle and Thomas’ relationship started to become strained after he posed for a series of fake photographs before his daughter’s royal wedding in 2018.
