Meghan Markle was left stunned by the recent revelations made by her father, Thomas Markle, as he brought to light what he called earth-shaking lies about her childhood.
The strained relationship between Meghan and Thomas has been an ongoing saga, reaching a boiling point in 2018 when Meghan married Prince Harry in London without her father in attendance.
Since then, the public has witnessed a tumultuous back-and-forth between the father and daughter, with Thomas seemingly eager to share his side of the story with any media outlet willing to listen.
In a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain, Thomas defended his actions, stating that he only speaks to the press when they reach out to him first.
He also made it clear that he would stop talking to the press once Meghan decides to engage in a conversation with him.
Reports suggest that Meghan and Thomas have not communicated since the time of her wedding to Harry, with sources revealing that Meghan was growing increasingly frustrated with her father’s interactions with the media, especially considering he has not met her two children.
The latest clash between Meghan and Thomas arose in December when Thomas disputed claims made by Meghan in a letter to US Congress regarding her family’s financial struggles.
Meghan had described her modest upbringing, mentioning how special it felt to eat out even at a budget-friendly restaurant like Sizzler.
However, Thomas contradicted her account, asserting that Meghan had also dined at upscale establishments in Los Angeles and had never experienced financial hardship.
This contradiction in narratives is just the tip of the iceberg in the ongoing disagreements between Meghan and her father.
Previous disputes have revolved around how Meghan financed her college education, with Thomas claiming he incurred significant debt to support her studies.
Meghan, on the other hand, highlighted scholarships, financial aid programs, and a work-study arrangement as the means through which she funded her education at Northwestern University.
The scrutiny on Meghan’s credibility has intensified, with challenges emerging from various quarters, including the media and critics.
The discrepancies in accounts provided by Meghan and Prince Harry during their interview with Oprah Winfrey have also come under fire, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing saga between Meghan and her father.
