Meghan Markle Refused Queen Elizabeth's Request to See Her Father; Queen 'Annoyed' by the Rejection
A new book has claimed that Meghan Markle has refused Queen Elizabeth's request to visit her father, Thomas Markle.
Express News reported that the Sussexes' refusal to see Thomas allegedly brought confusion to the palace. It was the Queen and Prince Charles who suggested Markle fly out to speak to her estranged father.
The book was entitled "Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors," written by investigative journalist Tom Bower.
It focuses on Markle and Prince Harry's wedding in May 2018, as well as Markle's relationship with her father.
Harry and Markle reportedly gave reasons for not reconnecting with Markle's father. However, "inconsistencies" were reported to have irritated Charles.
Bower wrote in the book that Charles never really understood Markle or what she wanted. The Prince of Wales allegedly "berated" Harry, telling him, "can't she just go and see him and make this stop?"
The remark came after Charles was irritated about Thomas' TV appearances, particularly his criticism of the Royal Family.
Bower revealed in his book that the "inconsistencies of Meghan's excuses" also irritated Queen Elizabeth.
New Book Claims and Royal Family
The British journalist noted that Thomas had said he did not attend the wedding as he was embarrassed about staging paparazzi photos. He had also criticized the Royal Family in interviews while claiming that he had no way of contacting his daughter, according to a Page Six report.
He added that he feared he would die without speaking to her again. Thomas also contradicted the Duchess of Sussex's explanation that he was too ill to fly to the wedding.
Meghan Markle said during the conference call with Harry, Charles, and the Queen that it was "completely unrealistic" for her to fly to Mexico, where her father was living. She added that it could bring "more embarrassment to the royal family" with the media attention and intrusion.
Aside from Markle's issue with his father, she was also reported to be angry at Palace officials for not protecting her image, and in her perspective, she was "isolated, vulnerable, and stifled by conventions."
Markle and Harry then announced on Instagram that they are stepping back from their senior royals roles weeks after the call conference.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
After stepping out of their roles in the royal family, the Sussex couple is now worried that Lili will be "written out of royal history" as she was not able to spend more time with her great-grandmother.
Cosmopolitan noted that royal expert Neil Sean spoke to a source about the situation.
It is not yet known when Markle and Harry will be back in the U.K. with their children.
The family traveled to the U.K. for the Queen's Jubilee. However, they were reported to be denied a picture of Queen Elizabeth and Lilibet.
The two had installed their family in California and currently have several deals with Netflix and Spotify for content.
