British Royal Family News find that Meghan Markle’s childhood boyfriend Joshua Silverstein says the Duchess of Sussex always had a complicated relationship with her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
That’s why all of the news about their family drama certainly doesn’t surprise ex-boyfriend Joshua Silverstein, as he knew the Markle family well while growing up. Here’s what he has to say.
Joshua told Us Weekly in a new interview that things unfortunately were never stable for Meghan during her childhood, seeing how her two parents, Thomas and her mother Doria Ragland, were divorced.
Meghan Markle’s Ex-Boyfriend Says Duchess Always Had A ‘Complicated’ Relationship With Father Thomas Markle
“Being there when Meghan’s parents were divorced at that time…it’s hard raising your kids without the secondary parent,” the Braid Theater performance artist explained.
“It’s all challenging. I don’t think there was anything specifically surprising to find out at that time because there were a lot of people that I knew [who] had challenging relationships with their parents. But I did know about it.”
Joshua went on to say that he “couldn’t speak to the specificity of what Meghan went through” with Thomas, 76. He suspected the relationship between the father and daughter “might have been strained” due to the divorce.
“I think at the end of the day, we’re all human beings and we all have to create boundaries with people that we may not want to create boundaries with,” he said. “But at the end of the day, you have to do what’s best for you and your family. If that means creating a boundary with your parents, sometimes that’s what you have to do.”
Meanwhile, it looks like Thomas wants his turn to speak to Oprah Winfrey just so he can tell his side of the story. Thomas personally drove to Oprah’s house in Monetcito, Calif., this week, where he was photographed handing a security guard a personal note that he had written for her.
As many fans know already, Oprah interviewed both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a bombshell special that has been viewed by more than 50 million people from around the world.
The Duchess of Sussex revealed that she felt betrayed by his father, who leaked a private letter that she had written to him in 2018 to the press.
Apparently, this is something that Meghan’s father has been thinking about for a long time now. Thomas told a newspaper last year, “I was going to write Oprah a letter asking her to let me have an opportunity to speak.”
