Meghan Markle is facing a new wave of emotions as her father, Thomas Markle, extends his heartfelt wishes to King Charles amidst the monarch’s health struggles.

The King recently announced his withdrawal from royal duties due to a battle with cancer, prompting an outpouring of shock and sympathy nationwide.

Thomas Markle, in a gesture of support, conveyed his well wishes to King Charles through an interview with the Daily Mail.

However, this unexpected move has stirred speculation about its impact on Meghan, given the strained relationship between father and daughter.

PR expert Ryan McCormick, speaking to the Daily Mirror, expressed his belief that Meghan may not welcome her father’s public display of goodwill towards King Charles.

The situation, he noted, could potentially cast a shadow on the Duchess of Sussex and reopen past familial conflicts.

The rift between Meghan and her father dates back to 2018 when Thomas controversially posed for staged paparazzi photos ahead of the Sussexes’ wedding, leading to a breakdown in their relationship.

Subsequent actions, such as releasing private messages to the media and participating in critical interviews, further strained their bond.

Notably, it was King Charles who accompanied Meghan down the aisle during her wedding, a role that Thomas was unable to fulfill.

The dynamics within the royal family have been under scrutiny, especially following Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal duties in 2020.

Amidst these complexities, Harry, despite his own strained relationship with his father, made a poignant visit to the UK upon learning of King Charles’s health condition.

However, the reunion did not extend to Prince William, highlighting the ongoing tensions within the royal family.
