British Royal Family News suggests that before their fallout, Meghan Markle apparently did everything she could to make her father Thomas Markle quiet. That is, she was hoping he would stay quiet enough not to talk to the press but apparently that didn’t happen. According to new reports, both Meghan and her husband Prince Harry pleaded with the former lighting director not to talk to the press right before their wedding in May of 2018. Here’s what you need to know.
New court documents say that the prince did everything he could to try and keep the peace between his future wife and his future father-in-law, but that didn’t happen. Meghan and Harry were left furious after Thomas apparently worked with the paparazzi to stage a series of photos that made it appear as though he was getting ready for the royal wedding. If that weren’t enough, Thomas Markle also got paid handsomely for his participation in the staged photo op.
British Royal Family News: Meghan Markle Begged Her Father Thomas Markle Not To Speak To The Press In Lead Up To Royal Wedding
In a series of messages sent that was sent only a few days before the wedding, Prince Harry begged Thomas Markle to call him so they could make things right. The details of the text messages have been released as part of the legal action Meghan Markle is taking against Associated Newspapers, including the publisher of the Mail on Sunday for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.
Prince Harry said: “Tom, Harry again! Really need to speak to u. U do not need to apologize, we understand the circumstances but ‘going public’ will only make the situation worse.” Harry added, “If u love Meg and want to make it right please call me as there are two other options which don’t involve u having to speak to the media, who incidentally created this whole situation. So please call me so I can explain. Meg and I are not angry, we just need to speak to u. Thanks.”
Unfortunately, that never happened. Instead, Thomas Markle had to cancel his plans to fly to London before the wedding, citing a medical emergency instead. Even though it’s almost been two years, Meghan has not spoken to her father since the paparazzi incident.
