‘Cruel’ Why Meghan Markle is ‘last person who should talk about love’, says Royal expert

 

A royal expert has slammed Meghan Markle for what they say is her ‘cruel’ treatment of her dad Thomas Markle – and for her hypocrisy. A Royal expert has accused Meghan Markle of hypocrisy over her treatment of estranged father Thomas Markle, amidst a bitter family divide. The Duchess of Sussex stands accused of “freezing out” her own father in a manner described as “cruel.”

Last month saw the embers of scandal re-ignited when Lady Colin Campbell, former ‘I’m A Celebrity’ contestant, set up a GoFundMe page ostensibly to cheer Thomas Markle on the eve of his 80th birthday on July 18. However, Jennie Bond, former BBC Royal correspondent, has slammed the notion of a fundraiser for Thomas – embroiled previously in a media furor over staged paparazzi snaps – as utterly “ridiculous”.

Speaking candidly to OK!, Jennie didn’t mince her words: “I think it’s rather a ridiculous idea to set up a fund for Thomas Markle. I’m sorry that his daughter doesn’t want him in her life and I think it’s quite cruel of Meghan. However, he has another daughter and a son who surely can perfectly well look after their father.”

She continued her critique by saying: “There are an awful lot of people in the world who need money far more than Mr Markle. So I think it’s really a mischief-making exercise to make Meghan look bad. “Meghan seems to have completely severed ties with her American family, except for her mother and perhaps a cousin.

It’s incredibly sad for Thomas not to know his son-in-law or his grandchildren.” Yet, family dynamics are notoriously complicated, and feelings run deep. Both Samantha and Thomas Junior have made some rather extreme allegations about Meghan, with Samantha still anticipating her day in court.
