The “Suits” actress previously released a statement begging her father to stop exploiting her relationship with the Royal family. This comes after Thomas was bailed out of her wedding to Harry after it was revealed she had faked pictures of herself getting ready for the wedding with the paparazzi. Following this, Meghan, in a letter accused her father of using her marriage to Prince Harry to gain money and fame.
He also pleads with Thomas to consider the “pain” he has caused. It reads, per People magazine“…Please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband … I realize you are so far down this rabbit hole that you feel (or may feel) there is no way out, but if you take a moment to stop, I think you will see that being able to live with a clear conscience is worth more than any payment in the world.”
While Meghan blamed her father’s behavior for the rift between them, the late Queen held Harry partly responsible. According to royal commentator Katie Nicholl, Queen Elizabeth II stated that Harry should visit his father-in-law and make him feel welcome by the Royal family. He also believed that it would help in preventing a rift between the father and daughter.
