Thomas Markle's 81st Birthday: A Year of Drama and Absence from Meghan’s Life
The Royal Scandal: Meghan's Dad Causes Chaos Ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Wedding
As the world watched Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot in May 2018, two guests stole the show - Meghan's parents, Doria Ragland and Thomas Markle. While Doria kept a low profile, Thomas seemed hell-bent on capitalizing on his daughter's marriage into the most famous family in the world.
In his bombshell biography Spare, Prince Harry lifted the lid on the drama that engulfed the Royal Family just days before the wedding. According to Harry, Meghan had spent months trying to soothe her father's wounded pride after a series of humiliating photos appeared in the papers.
But Thomas had other plans. In a shocking twist, he staged a candid photoshoot with the paparazzi, claiming he didn't know the photographer or participate in any charade. Meghan believed him, but Harry was skeptical, writing: "A week before the wedding, this now became the story... Soon after the story broke, Thomas Markle sent us a text: 'I'm so ashamed'."
The drama didn't end there. Thomas's actions caused chaos for the bride and groom-to-be, with Meghan reportedly distracted by her father's antics when tensions erupted over Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress. According to Harry, Kate Middleton was left in tears after an altercation with Meghan over the dress.
But what really got our attention is the behind-the-scenes drama that unfolded during the royal wedding preparations. Did you know that Kate allegedly believed Charlotte should wear tights as per royal protocol? And that Meghan insisted on dropping this tradition? It's no wonder Kate burst into tears, with reports suggesting Meghan slammed the door in her face and threw away the bouquet of flowers.
The fallout was intense, with both sides painting each other as villains. In an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan revealed she had been left crying by Kate over the dress issue and that the media narrative had been skewed to portray her as a "diva."
Since then, Meghan and Harry have gone their separate ways, leaving Thomas Markle in a world of his own. He's now living on the tropical island of Cebu with his son, where he's struggling to adapt to the extreme heat and humidity. And despite claiming he wants peace and tranquility, it seems unlikely that Thomas will be reuniting with Meghan anytime soon.
But what really gets our blood boiling is Thomas's constant need for attention. He's given interview after interview to The Scholarly Note.com, repeating his claims about Meghan and Harry. We can't help but wonder if he'll ever learn to let go of the drama and allow his daughter to move on with her life.
