[Blind Gossip] You already know that Meghan Markle filed a lawsuit in 2019.
She was upset that a newspaper had published parts of a handwritten note she had sent to her father, Thomas Markle, in August 2018.
We’re going to talk about some new legal documents filed today!
First, a reminder about the letter Meghan sent her father in 2018.
The note basically chastises her father for talking to the press.
Daddy,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this, not understanding why you have chosen to take this path, turning a blind eye to the pain you’re causing.
Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces – not simply because you have manufactured such unnecessary and unwarranted pain, but by making the choice to not tell the truth as you are puppeteered in this. Something I will never understand.
He manufactured pain!
He was puppeteered!
Markle certainly has a flair for drama. She should be an actress!
You’ve told the press that you called me to say you weren’t coming to the wedding – that didn’t happen because you never called.
You’ve said I never helped you financially and you’ve never asked me for help with is also untrue; you sent me an email last October that said: ‘If I’ve depended too much on you for financial help then I’m sorry but please could you help me more not as a bargaining chip for my loyalty’.
If you love me, as you tell the press you do, please stop.
I have only ever loved, protected, and defended you, offering whatever financial support I could worrying about your health…and always asking how I could help.
That’s an interesting bit about Meghan giving her father financial support.
Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, was out of the picture for several years of her childhood for some reason.
Thomas Markle basically raised her as a single parent and put her through college.
We wonder how much Thomas Markle spent on Meghan versus how much Doria Ragland spent on Meghan. We also wonder how much Thomas Markle spent on Meghan versus how much “financial support” Meghan Markle gave him.
It is also very interesting that Meghan quotes Thomas’ email back to him at length.
That is not something people normally do in a heartfelt personal letter. It seems like she is trying to set up some sort of trail of evidentiary support for any future legal actions.
Sneaky!
So the week of the wedding to hear about you having a heart attack through a tabloid was horrifying.
I called and texted… I begged you to accept help – we sent someone to your home…and instead of speaking to me to accept this or any help, you stopped answering your phone and chose to only speak to tabloids.
If you love me, as you tell the press you do, please stop.
Please allow us to live our lives in peace.
Please stop lying, please stop creating so much pain, please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband…
If the British Royal Family was to ever send a letter to Meghan Markle, we imagine it would contain a similar sentence: Please stop lying, please stop creating so much pain, please stop exploiting your relationship with my grandson/ my son/ my brother…
By the way, in the newest legal documents, Meghan Markle claims she felt “unprotected” by the “institution” of the royal family and could not defend herself against all the false claims leveled against her.
I realise you are so far down this rabbit hole that you feel (or may feel) there’s no way out, but if you take a moment to pause I think you’ll see that being able to live with a clear conscience is more valuable than any payment in the world.
I pleaded with you to stop reading the tabloids. On a daily basis you fixated and clicked on the lies they were writing about me, especially manufactured by your other daughter, who I barely know.
That “other daughter,” whom Meghan refuses to call by name, is Samantha Markle.
You can judge for yourself whether or not Samantha Markle manufactured lies about Meghan Markle.
Samantha Markle said that Meghan had always fancied Harry because she was ambitious to become a princess.
Meghan Markle claimed she didn’t really know who Prince Harry was when she met him, despite the fact that she had posed for a photo in front of Buckingham palace years earlier and was supposedly “obsessed” with Princess Diana.
Samantha calls Meghan “Princess Pushy.”
Samantha also said that Harry should have married Cressida Bonas because “she is much more like Diana.”
Ouch.
More from Meghan’s “private” letter to her father:
You watched me silently suffer at the hand of her vicious lies, I crumbled inside.
We all rallied around to support and protect you from day one, and this you know.
So to hear about the attacks you’ve made at Harry in the press, who was nothing but patient, kind and understanding with you is perhaps the most painful of all.
For some reason you continue fabricating these stories, manufacturing this fictitious narrative, and entrenching yourself deeper into this web you’ve spun.
The only thing that helps me sleep at night is the faith and knowing that a lie can’t live forever.
I believed you, I trusted you, and told you I loved you.
The next morning the CCTV footage came out.
You haven’t reached out to me since the week of our wedding, and while you claim you have no way of contacting me, my phone number has remained the same.
This you know. No texts, no missed called, no outreach from you – just more global interviews you’re being paid to do and say harmful and hurtful things that are untrue.
On and on. Drama, drama, drama.
Let’s get back to the friends.
So, Meghan Markle shared this letter with five of her friends. Then, all five of those friends went to the media to talk about this letter.
Astonishingly, Meghan Markle denies that she had anything to do with these five friends all contacting the media about this letter at the same time.
The five friends all supposedly acted independently and without any direction or coordination from her.
Does anyone actually believe that?
Anyone?
Bueller? Bueller?
After People published the five friends’ stories about the letter – which clearly vilified Thomas Markle – Thomas Markle felt compelled to defend himself. He gave a copy of the entire handwritten letter to The Mail on Sunday, which published the letter.
Meghan Markle is not suing her five friends or People. She is suing The Mail on Sunday.
Meghan Markle’s basic claim is this:
- It is fine for me to share the letter with my friends.
- My five friends and I may leak the existence of the letter and select content of the letter.
- None of us coordinated that leak.
- People is allowed to publish what we leaked.
- My father – the recipient of the letter – should not have shared the rest of the content of the letter or the physical letter.
- The Mail should not have published the physical letter.
If that sounds unfair to you, you are not alone. This is about legal games and Meghan Markle controlling the narrative, not common sense.
Today, new legal documents showed that Meghan has named the friends. They had previously only been known as A, B, C, D and E.
While those names have not yet been disclosed to the public, we have a vague description of the five friends: a longtime friend, a former co-star, a friend from LA, a one-time colleague and a close confidante.
Your job is to guess the identity of the five friends.
Who do you think they are? Guess any or all!

Oh please! I’ll admit I try to see the best in people and I wanted to like her but I don’t trust anything she says. The lies and double standards are all coming out and I feel like a bit of a fool for ever believing in her right now. Once bitten twice shy!

Lindsay, Genevieve, and Heather have all known Meghan and each other for a very long time. Jessica and Abigail must know each other from Suits, where Jessica was a stylist for the show (the “former colleague”).

@ShockingBlue yes agreed totally! I have read several books on handwriting analysis and after seeing her handwriting I came to a very similar conclusion as yours.

3. Her family members, with a possible few exceptions, fear her.

layman says
Definitely MM and definitely orchestrated. If she didn’t intend for the letter to be leaked to the press, why did she use the British spelling of
‘realise’?
listenToWhatI says
That “note”…honestly, who does the swoopy things over the letters? Is this some Regency novel? Is she sending out invites to Lady Noseworthy’s masquerade ball?! Here’s an upper crust word for the Duchess…
PRETENTIOUSNESS
the skeptic says
This is obv Meghan. But what’s up with the obviously affected handwriting? WHO DOES THIS?
Jessica Mulroney is one of the friends. Only the court will care who the others are.
Team Thomas/Team Samantha.
Roryss says
I don’t know who those friends are but she’s putting them in a VERY BAD position. If they lie for her (=tell that she didn’t send them to that magazine with the letter) and it will come out, they can have serious legal charges, not to mention trashed careers. I wouldn’t lie for my friend’s petty fights in courts with her family members. It’s not worth it. Let her clean her mess herself for once.
Pinkieswear says
After reading her “letter” to her father, I find it hard to believe that she has a college degree. It seems as though she wrote down what she wanted to say, and then she and her 5 “friends” all sat down with a thesaurus to figure out the most eloquent words and fancy phrases possible. Instead of being a beautifully written, the letter is clunky, choppy, and silly. Instead of making her appear humble, anguished, and intelligent, she looks ridiculous and childish.
Now, everyone sees…
carriebradshaw says
Her lawyer said she discussed this with her mother, Harry, friends, press team and her lawyer. This thing was designed to be leaked to the media, therefore this time her wordsalad contend so many “sophisticated” words. She thinks fancy word makes her look intelectual, exactly like she thaught expencive dresses, even ill fitted and ridiculously looking, will make her fashion icon.
foraccts says
Your answer is spot on. When I was reading it, I just thought “Not very educated.” Then my thoughts ran to how obvious she is, how transparent her machinations were and are.
What is the most frustrating about her and her drama is that, if one speaks negatively about her one is branded a racist. Really? Toxic narcissism knows no color.
ShockingBlue says
I really don’t know who the friends are, neither do I care. BUT I know how to analyze handwriting. Wow. Strategic and vindictive are the two best words to describe her handwriting.
jerseymom says
That’s funny, I was thinking the exact same thing. The inconsistency of her lettering is cause for concern, but it is in line with the inconsistencies in her personality. It’s almost like she was writing like she was from the Victorian era. I’d love an expert’s opinion on this!
kurlykolly says
He really is not a good parent. Imagine not being safe and comfortable with your dad. That’s awful. He’s toxic.
carriebradshaw says
I am not. My father is a horrible person, he was never caring father or good husband, his priorities were always very questionable, and I would not rely on him in anything, not even to feed a cat, but I know for sure by all his many flaws, he really loves us. Meghan’s father did whole lot for her, and she decided to dump her, because he was not useful anymore. You know, she likes to move on.
zappy2050 says
I watched a documentary on Meghan and the father said she lived with him from the time she was 13 or so until she went off to college + during her college years when she came home. Her mother was definitely in her life but Meghan LIVED with her dad.
Family dynamics are difficult, so it is probably a complicated situation. Very rarely do kids from multiple parents come together and get along. I have seen it a few times, but it is rare.
FRIENDS? I can only think of Jessica Mulroney

Misha Nonoo?
That letter was written with the intent of being read by someone else besides her father. I think she thinks she’s smart enough to fool people meanwhile she’s so transparent and manipulative. Like when she “celebrated” Archie’s birthday by backhandedly telling the world how misunderstood she is. Or when she ” accidentally announced” she’s dating Harry by wearing his bracelet- knowing the media would catch on.
Midsomerfan says
Sorry, I don’t know who Megan Markle’s various friends are but I just ran an eye over the current story on this subject. I would like to go on record to say that it seems to me that she has been 38 years old for a number of years now!
I am eager to see everyone’s guesses!
Coffeemad says
I’m with you on this – face and body look way older. I’m convinced she’s past 40. My guess is she’s 42/43.

She’s a psycho, definitely narc who is never happy and doesn’t care about anyone but herself. She’ll sell her own mother if she’s in her way, she already sold out her Dad. I feel bad for that kid she has. Poor child.
Whisper says
Personally I think the money a parent spends on a child is part of their responsibility. Of course if a child does well and can help a parent out they should. But do we know that she didn’t? I’ve never understood why Thomas or any other Markle went to the press to begin with. Since I don’t follow the Royals much I probably missed something. The five friends all leaking to the press simultaneously does seem coordinated. Doubt the lawsuit will go anywhere.
aaajb44 says
I agree. Mr. Markle does not get any credit, in my opinion, for spending money on his daughter while raising her. That is his responsibility as a parent. It appears, when she became an adult, and was in a position to help her dad financially, she did. As for her family saying negative things about her in the press, why would they do that? Apparently, to purposefully hurt her or to gain revenue. I have no sympathy for her family at all. They behaved disgracefully.
foraccts says
Too much to say and not enough space. I think she is a narcisist who has preyed on men to try and get ahead, She has visions of grandeur that she totally screwed up with her need for absolute devotion.
ILUVCA4evr says

The way I heard it, Doria was out of the picture due to jail time? Honestly, that WHOLE Markle/Ragland fam is NUTS.
funsized_49 says
Dear lord…. if anyone doubts that letter was written SPECIFICALLY for the media then they are as delusional as she is. She has done nothing but try to get sympathy and publicity and when each pathetic attempt and stunt fails she sinks lower and scrapes the bottom of the barrel. I seriously call on the world’s media to do a 7 day blackout – then we’ll all see just how utterly despicable she really is
beachchick218 says
I honestly don’t believe this vile drama queen has five friends. No one of any integrity would enjoy her lies and schemes. She may have co-horts, but not good friends. BTW, she’s got the maturity of a 13 year old.
Bye
Roryss says
me neither. Most likely they’re in her circle because she’s married into Royal Family or are her employees . They shouldn’t trust her however. Like typical narc, she’ll throw them under bus to save her own skin without a blink of an eye.
