Meghan Markle’s closest friends say she wrote a heartbreaking letter to her father
According to Meghan Markle’s close friends, the Duchess of Sussex has tried to repair the relationship between her and her father, but there’s a good reason why she has distanced herself from him.
"Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal" wasn't an accurate portrayal of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's dealings with the Duchess of Sussex's father, Thomas Markle claimed in a new report.
The Lifetime film, which premiered over Memorial Day weekend, featured Duchess Meghan confronting Thomas over staging paparazzi photos ahead of the royal wedding, as well as Thomas allegedly standing the couple up on their big day.
Thomas told TMZ he takes issue with the latter point more than anything, claiming he was undergoing heart surgery and couldn't possibly make it to the U.K. to walk Duchess Meghan down the aisle.

Duchess Meghan sent Thomas a handwritten letter begging him to stop speaking to tabloids — which he later released to a tabloid, allegedly to clear his name after he'd felt wronged by several of her friends who'd spoken about their difficult relationship in the media.
A royal expert previously said that Thomas may never meet Archie at all, claiming, “I can’t think for a moment that Thomas Markle will ever be able to meet his grandson or granddaughter.”
