Meghan 'I'm Tormented By Guilt!

As she enjoys life as a royal, the Duchess of Sussex’s past still seems to be haunting her

Meghan 'I'm Tormented By Guilt!

There’s no denying that since her engagement to Prince Harry was announced last november, the Duchess of Sussex’s family have been causing quite the royal scandal.

With her outspoken half-sister Samantha Markle constantly slamming her on both TV and social media, and her father Thomas speaking out in the press, it’s perhaps understandable why Meghan, 37, would want to distance herself from certain members of her family.

But, as she prepares to welcome her first child with Harry, 34, it would seem that the Duchess is plagued by guilt over her strained relationship with her father.

GUILTY CONSCIENCE?

‘Meghan feels terrible and has a huge sense of regret about the situation involving her dad,’ says a royal insider.

‘After all, this is her own flesh and blood and the person who raised her, not a distant relative who she barely knows or cares for any more.’

Meghan is thought to have cut contact with her dad after he spoke publicly about both her and Harry. In one damning interview Thomas said, ‘I’ve just about reached my limit with meghan and the royal family. She’d be nothing without me. I made her the Duchess she is today.’

Get moving to beat that low mood

Look, I know it's November. The days are shorter (like our patience) and darker (like, sometimes, our mood) and moving our body gets pushed further down the must-do list. We hunker down and become insular.
