Daddy Wants Cash

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!

We happen to know that right now he is shopping around an opportunity to interview him.

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!

    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.

  4. KikiWinter says

    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. MinnieMe says

    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. badgerette85 says

    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.

  11. reality check says

    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

    Sparkle Markle

    Daddy Markle

    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.

    Daughter: Meghan Markle

    Meghan as every right to cut her family off. They’re incredibly toxic.

    Thomas Markle

    Publicly shame him for using her, turn the tables and then walk away.

  20. Este8888 says

    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.

  23. SueCitySue says

    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. reen57 says

    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. Gerseychick says

    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….

  37. oyevey says

    Meghan Marckle and her father. Really feel sorry for her. Who wouldn’t want to switch continents just to get away from these deadbeats!

  38. mrs_right says

    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.

  39. amesr09 says

    Meghan Markle and Her dad Thomas Markle. I would honestly just pay up. The more you ignore him the more he wants to talk to the press.

  45. wasteoftime says

    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…

  47. cassadaga says

    This sounds an awful lot like Markle, aka Duchess Difficult. Is she really reading BG? Guess the royals are just like us after all.

  52. Jeanesgenes says

    Meghan. Duchess of Sussex.
    Her father, Thomas Markle.
    It’s between a rock and a hard place. Ask her mother to intervene?
    He’s not doing himself any good with these interviews.

  57. Wallcat says

    Meghan Markle and her father Thomas.
    Optional – I think it’s really sad to cut ties with your parents, so I’d do everything in my power to mend the relationship. I’d give him an ultimatum though – her own father stories on her shows the lack of respect on his part.

  58. Mills007 says

    pffff And people still wonder and blame her but maybe this is why she has no contact with her family….. and had for many years before this circus..

  59. Bo-bong says

    daughter: meghan markle
    father: thomas markle
    honestly this dude sucks and seems like a TERRIBLE father. If i was her I’d cut him out of my life too.

  60. Pinkieswear says

    Markle. Maybe she’s a saint, maybe not. I’m tired of hearing about her family strife, both with her new family and her biological family. This probably should have been addressed BEFORE she was married, because now she’s helped to create a neverending nightmare for herself and her husband.

  63. TexasHeat says

    Meghan Markle

    Her father…

    I say for her and the Royal Family to stay the course, i.e. ignore him and her wackadoodle half-sister. The moment they give in to their demands will be just a hot mess.

  64. elliedee says

    Daughter: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex

    Father: Thomas “Worst Father of 2018” Markle

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

    Stay far, far away from him in every way – can you imagine how much money he could get if she made any contact at all?

  65. zappy2050 says

    Meghan Markle. Her family is horrible but she doesn’t seem far behind. Hopefully, she has someone close by who is advising her – if not here goes.

    Stay away from your family, continue to ignore them and take your nice pill everyday. You need more friends in the palace. The people talking to the press about you (about inside stuff) are people who work in the palace. Be nice and calm the F down.

  66. Nataliexyz says

    Rachel Markles Sparkles. She should have just made nice with her entire family, up front, invited them to the wedding, did a “grin and bear it” and went on with her life, instead of the circus she created with her actions of passing them over.

  68. shelaur22 says

    Meg Markle and her father. She should patch things up with him some way, somehow, because if he dies while they are estranged she will look monstrous.

  69. firefly nights says

    Rachel Meghan Markle aka Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex.

    Her father is a complete NIGHTMARE. I honestly couldn’t even imagine having such a horrible family. I would have moved to Mars!

    Optional: I honestly am at a loss. I have no idea.

  71. fimelo says

    Daughter: Sparkles

    Father: Papa Tom

    What advice would you give her about how to handle this situation?
    The Apple didn’t fall far from the tree !

  76. chalupacabra says

    Meghan Markle’s dad. Honestly, as a mom, I feel terrible for her. Parents should have your back, not risk your well-being or reputation for a check. (In contrast, her very dignified mother never talks to tabloids). Meghan is under no obligation to maintain unhealthy, damaging relationships – even with relatives. When her dad decides to stop being so awful, maybe she can reconsider, but I wouldn’t blame her if she had a hard time trusting him after all this.

  80. Elliegurl says

    Daughter: Meagan Markle

    Father: Thomas Markle (aka– Father of the Year)

    [Optional] What advice would you give her about how to handle this situation? Cut him and her obnoxious sister loose- permanently. Those two are not even subtle about being money grubbers.

  81. mary55geelong says

    Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,

    Thomas Markle.

    Ignore the lot of them. They are just leaches.

  82. JoshuaTree says

    Sparkles and her dad.

    Still, she should talk to him. She looks cold hearted by cutting off the man she gushed about on The Tig nonstop because his looks don’t fit her new royal narrative.

  89. Cerise94 says

    Meghan Markle
    Thomas Markle

    God, the man is scum.

    In my case, I cut ties with most of my family. Though, I’m not a famous person. No idea what I would do in this case.
    Perhaps go after the newsoutlets that grant him their time and make sure they stop giving him attention.

  90. IamnotMe says

    Wow. Meghan’s Dad doesn’t listen. If he continues, The Firm will probably decide it’s time for another heart attack.

  96. Khaleesi says

    Thomas Markle/Duchess Meghan. I feel bad for her. Having a toxic father sucks and hero’s just won’t go away. She must be mortified. Classic Narcissistic parent. Since you read this Meghan, look up the narcissistic family. One of the dynamics is at least one narcissistic parent(your father), one child referred to as the golden child, who can do no wrong (your sister Samantha) and the black sheep scapegoat narcissist’s target(you). I suggest you read up on it.

  99. Henriette says

    Daughter: Meghan Markle
    Dad: Thomas Markle

    Advice: maybe try asking the lady for help. She won’t stand by and leave your father be anyway so better be proactive.
