In a startling allegation, royal expert Tom Bower has branded Meghan Markle as an "agent of poison" and a figure of "remorseless hatred" during an interview with Sun Royal editor Matt Wilkinson on the Royal Exclusive show.
Bower's scathing critique of the Duchess of Sussex was unrelenting, focusing on her alleged tendency to ruin relationships for her own gain. He claimed, "Meghan is an agent of poison. She is capable of destroying relationships, and when she cultivates them, it is always for her own benefit."
Bower further asserted that Meghan lacks a generous spirit and has inflicted significant sadness by driving a wedge between Prince Harry and his family, as well as estranging herself from her own father and half-sister. The tension between Meghan and her father, Thomas Markle, has been extensively covered in the media. Thomas has been estranged from Meghan since suffering two heart attacks on the eve of her wedding to Prince Harry, which prevented him from walking her down the aisle. Their communication has since ceased.
Reflecting on this, Bower remarked, "It is truly one of the great sadnesses of this saga that Meghan has not only destroyed the relationship between Harry and his family but also with her own father and half-sister." The situation deteriorated further when Thomas posed for paparazzi pictures before the royal wedding, exacerbating the rift between them. Bower claimed, "She is not someone with any generosity of spirit."
Despite the estrangement, Thomas has attempted to reconcile with Meghan. He has publicly acknowledged that the paparazzi photos were a mistake and has sincerely apologized. However, these reconciliation attempts have been unsuccessful, and the estrangement continues. Thomas Markle recently celebrated his 80th birthday, a milestone filled with mixed emotions due to his separation from Meghan. Despite this, he likely celebrated with his son, Tom Jr., and may have communicated with his eldest daughter, Samantha, who is unable to travel due to multiple sclerosis.
Netizens have criticized Meghan for not reaching out to her father on his milestone birthday. One user on the social media platform X wrote, "Thomas Markle played a significant role in Meghan's life, providing support and care throughout her childhood and formative years. Remembering these positive aspects can help Meghan see beyond their recent conflict and recognize the enduring bond they share." Others echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation. "Everyone makes mistakes, and holding on to past grievances can be a heavy burden. Forgiveness isn't just a gift to Thomas, but also to Meghan herself," another user added.
However, critics were quick to respond. One wrote, "Why would she? She's taken everything useful that he had. That's why she is desperately trying to hang on to the royal family, as that's where the money is." Another commented, "She's just so gross. How dare she lecture everyone about kindness, family, and friends when she knows nothing about it?"
Speculation about Meghan's motives and the potential impact on her relationship with her father continues to be a topic of public debate. Some believe she fears he might reveal damaging information about her past. Regardless, many hope for a resolution, especially given Thomas's age and health. As one commenter noted, "Eighty is old. Who knows how much time he has left?"
