This relative of the Duchess of Sussex claims that it was through a controversial letter.
It is no secret to anyone that Meghan Markle maintains a very distant relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, although her father has tried to get closer to her daughter, he has not been able to get close to her.
That is why now, the duchess's father has recalled how he notified him of “the end of her relationship.” It was all through a letter that has been the subject of controversy between the Duchess of Sussex and the British tabloid Daily Mail.
The former American actress, 42, had denounced the newspaper for publishing extracts without authorization from the letter sent to her father, Thomas Markle. It was then that Prince Harry's wife, to avoid a potentially explosive process, requested a “summary trial,” a measure that allows a case to be resolved without a trial.
In a written statement to the judge, Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, assured that her daughter's letter “was not an attempt at reconciliation” but “a criticism of me.” He noted that the letter did not express love or concern for her health after she suffered a heart attack. Instead, he considered the letter to mark the end of their relationship, which could anticipate a legal confrontation between father and daughter.
The case, at the time, generated intense debate about the limits of the privacy of members of the royal family and freedom of the press in the United Kingdom. Meghan Markle fought tirelessly against media intrusion into her personal life, and this dispute with the Daily Mail is just one example of her determination to protect her privacy and that of her family.
