It was a week of bombshell revelations, celebrity snubs and, no doubt, heartache for Meghan, Duchess of Sussex after her dad once again laid bare his private pain for all to see.
In a newspaper interview, Thomas Markle, who turns 80 on 18 July, spoke about his sadness over his estrangement from Meghan, 42, and Prince Harry, 39, as well as his deep regret over never having met his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. He drew comparisons with their other grandad, King Charles, saying neither of them deserved “the treatment we’ve received” from Meghan and Harry.
Now that his revelations have truly sunk in for the royal couple, a source tells new that Meghan feels “under attack” yet again, especially from the dad she once had a close bond with.
“It’s been a hard week for Meghan and she feels like she’s constantly under attack,” they claimed. “The revelations about her and her dad’s private talks have been hard as she thought she had moved on from that. They were always so close and although she had cut him out from her life after everything, it still understandably devastates her that they no longer speak. Before she met Harry, she had a very good relationship with her dad but all that has changed.”
