SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This father is estranged from his celebrity daughter.

The reason that they are estranged?

He can’t keep his mouth shut.

She has asked him multiple times not to talk to the press, yet he keeps doing so.

Why?

Money. Money, money, money!

He will do an interview for $10K. Cash. The subject will be how his dream for his daughter has turned into a nightmare. Topics include what he thinks of her new family (some are heroic and some are arrogant), how upset his is over the criticism his daughter is getting, and his dismay over the fact that his daughter wouldn’t even send him a Christmas card and won’t speak to him. He believes that he is being treated worse than a criminal!

The daughter has been known to read Blind Gossip, so now she knows exactly how much he is demanding for these interviews!

[Optional] What advice would you give her about how to handle this situation?

SOLVED!

Daughter: Meghan Markle

Father: Thomas Markle

Well, that was fast!

Thomas Markle just gave an interview

He says, “My dream is now a nightmare,” Kate Middleton is a hero, Harry is arrogant, and Meghan didn’t send him a Christmas card.

That’ll be $10,000 please!

From The Sun:

Meghan Markle’s emotional dad Thomas begs Duchess to pick up the phone and ‘end his nightmare’

Meghan Markle’s dad Thomas has urged her to repair her rumoured rift with the Duchess of Cambridge, saying: “This just isn’t like her.”

Thomas, who has had no contact with Meghan since she married Prince Harry last May, said he is heartbroken that he cannot step in to help.

…

“I’m not buying that she made Kate cry. First off, I think Kate is a stronger woman than that.

“I think Kate also knows she is in a stronger power position than Meghan is.

“Kate’s the hero mother. I can’t see her being that weak.

“No woman is who pops out a kid then walks out of hospital the same day.

…Thomas, speaking exclusively to The Sun from his home in Rosarito, Mexico, said the wall of silence from Meghan was piling misery on him and the rest of his family.

He  said: “This whole thing should have been one of the proudest moments of my life.

“Now it’s like a dream that has turned into a nightmare. The royals and Meghan can help end this nightmare by simply giving me a call. To this day, I cannot think of anything I’ve done to deserve how I’m being treated now.

“I’ve been a good father I’ve done nothing wrong. Axe murderers kill 19 people and their daughters still come and visit them in prison.

“It’s just incomprehensible for Meghan to treat me this way.”

Thomas had hoped to join Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland at the wedding in Windsor last year but suffered a heart attack shortly before. And while recovering in hospital, he hung up on Harry, 34, during a heated row.

The Prince had urged Thomas not to speak to the press — but he was caught co-operating with a paparazzi photographer.

Harry told him: “This is what happens when you don’t listen to what we tell you to do.”

But Thomas said: “I’ll keep talking and I’ll probably get louder. Meghan and Harry’s silence empowers all the crazy tweets and insults against me and my family.”

Thomas admits he has made mistakes in the past, but said he is keen to make amends. He also hopes for an eventual first meeting with Harry. But today his message to him is: “Man up and get over it.

“If I’m the first person who’s insulted you or hurt your feelings, you’ve got a long way to go.

“He’s human just like the rest of us. I feel that he feels he is above everyone else and that he has a right to talk down to people.

“And I cannot accept that. It feels like arrogance.”

…But while Thomas remains proud of Meghan, he said he did not even get a Christmas card from her.

…

“If they ever want to speak to me, maybe I’ll quieten down a little bit. But in the meantime I’m not going to become a monk in a monastery and take a vow of silence.

“The bottom line is that I’ve done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. I cannot cut my tongue out and never speak again. I can’t shut up because they have opened the door for a million people to criticise me and my family.”

…“If she called me right now I would simply say ‘How have you been? I am glad to hear from you’.”

She is not going to call you, Thomas… because you keep selling her out!

Congratulations to Haley1020 for being first with the correct answer!

    • Tom didn’t say a word until she didn’t invite him to the wedding.
      I know she said she was going to but has no intention in real life. That’s where he did the fake tuxedo sizing pics etc.
      He’s not on brand, apparently

  3. Blaming the father who bankrolled your private school and college isn’t the smartest move when people can easily look this info up. What a poor choice by Harry, unless that was all who would take the gig.

    • Unless you live in the house with them, you have no idea what their lives are like. Bankrolling private school and college is wonderful but that does not make a parent. She stands by her mother and is very close to her. Makes me think there is a good reason she isn’t close to Thomas. For starters, he can stop talking about her to the press. How odd to claim to want a reconciliation yet continue to do things he knows will keep her away.

    • I can’t say I agree with that. I don’t know what’s true and what isn’t true about the Duchess of Sussex and I’m sure like all humans she’s far from perfect. That said, there’s no doubt that her father is profiting from and using her status for his own benefit. I’d be devastated if my father let me down like that. It doesn’t matter that he paid for her private school years ago. Profiting from her now publicly is truly tacky and a betrayal of their relationship.

    • I agree. This is her father. So if Megan wasn’t married to Harry would she still be talking to her dad?

  4. Daughter: Meghan Markle

    Father: Thomas Markle Snr

    Optional: I’d say your father is just replicating your hustle, just enjoy it whilst you can, because it’s wearing thin on the British public and the only thing stopping demands for a republic is sentimentality for the Queen, sadly for you she won’t live forever.

  5. Once again, Megyn Markle
    Mr Markle, her father, prime leach and she learned a lot from him
    Annul your marriage to Prince Harry and go back to Hollywood. Your family won’t want to bother you there.

  6. Sounds like Megan Markle’s Father
    I would insist on a one and one chat and try and smooth things out. It’s evident that the alternative isn’t working.

    • it will work i she will pay him for being quiet. In every interview he says he doesn’t know why she broke up the contact, but he can’t be that stupid. He’s milking it while he can, and bother more about the money he can get, than about his daughter.
      I presonally can’t stand her, but I bet she said him multiple times she can’t speak to the media, and why BRF hate this kind of behaviour, and that is damaging for her.

      all I can say is “like father, like daughter”, all about the money

    • Thomas is making a very good living off of his pension. He’s a horrible father and needs to stfu about his daughter.

  11. I do not blame him at all- but he could get a lot more done f he told ALL the truth, including about the college marriage.
    It truly takes a very horrible person to discard her father and pretend he never loved her. The letters she wrote clearly show this was all a lie. Instead, it looks like she wasthe apple of his eye, and even with him “What Meghan wanted, Meghan got”-
    Look at how his quiet life has changed.
    She is heartless to first pretend she had this “ poor lonely” girl childhood

    Optional: She isn’t going to get him to stop and apparently she was unwilling to pay him off initially so she may as well just ignore him at this point.

  20. Her side can spin this all they want but she ghosted her father and she is the one treating him abominably. She should have done whatever it took to reconcile with him. He wouldn’t be babbling to the tabloids if the royals, one of the richest families in the world, took care of him. And if they weren’t willing to take care of him, they should have put the kabosh on the marriage.

    • The Royal family doesn’t “ take care” of any of the other “married in” family members so why should they take care of him? He’s a grown man he can take care of himself.

  23. This is Meghan Markle and her daddy, Mr. Markle (don’t know his first name)

    I don’t know if anything I told her would help. It’s a messy situation…maybe ignoring him is best. One thing I do know is that, despite rumors of high-handedness and social climbing, I do feel some amount of sympathy for Ms. Markle (or the duchess of whatever-not interested in that stuff). After all, she’s a human being.

  24. This is the Duchess of Sussex and her toxic family.
    There are those that WILL NOT accept her and believe anything negative published about her, and this includes those in the US and those in the UK who are appalled that the blood royal is being mixed with hers. While she has her faults, she does work hard. She’s made mistakes which have been magnified because trashing her sells. I hope it dies off. Keep away from the father. Pretty soon no one will want to hear what her family has to say.

  28. Wallis Rachel Megan Pot smoking Markle Windsor
    Thomas Markle who paid for everything in her life..Private school, acting classes…Took care of her while her Mother did jail time…She will use you and than dump you….Nobody in the Royal Family likes her…….Take care of your Dad….Do the right thing, he has a heart condition….

  39. Duchess Meghan
    Thomas Markle

    Oh, wow. That’s rough. I don’t know the family dynamic well enough, but if there are toxic people in your life, all you can do is avoid them and cut them out of your life.

  46. Meghan Markle.

    It sounds like her dad can be very petulant and manipulates his children by hanging up on them if he doesn’t like the way the conversation is going. (That’s probably where MM learned this kind of behavior) but when he hung up on Harry, it was prob a first for the prince and Harry prob told MM to forget him.
    Her dad wants attention/flattery/adoration & money.
    She should quietly visit her dad, make peace, & give a monthly allowance, dependent on his not ever talking to the…
