Thomas Markle sends heartbreaking message to Meghan after royal title comments
Thomas Markle has spoken out about Meghan Markle’s decision in not wanting to be referred to as ‘Meghan Markle’, as she clearly stated in her new Netflix show ‘With Love, Meghan’. Meghan’s father, who watched the series, has taken particular issue with Meghan correcting her friend Mindy Kaling on this issue.
He told the Daily Mail: “My mum loved Meghan very much, but she would be so disappointed to hear that Meghan no longer wants to use the name ‘Markle’. My mother was proud to be a Markle. So am I. Meghan never had a problem with the Markle name until she met Prince Harry.”
He also added: “Now I have to say, ‘I am Meghan Sussex’s dad.'”
In the series, Meghan declared that she is no longer Markle but Sussex – in a nod to her royal title, the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan also doubled down on the name, explaining how meaningful Sussex was to her.
Thomas Markle also disputed Meghan’s claim that she was a “latchkey kid” who ate TV dinners on a tray. According to Thomas Markle, Meghan lived with him full-time from age 11 until university.
