He didn’t sell her to a slave trader did he, just a story along with many other stories written about her by many other people.

CUT ADRIFT Harry and Meghan rejected offers to help protect her ‘troubled’ dad Thomas Markle, bombshell book claims.

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle rejected offers to help protect Thomas Markle, sources have claimed.

Palace aides have revealed the pair refused to "engage" with Meghan's dad ahead of their wedding in 2018.

Sources told the Sunday Times they didn't listen to suggestions they should meet Thomas, 76, before and after announcing their plans to get married.
And when courtiers raised worries the retired lighting director would be overwhelmed without support, Harry and Meghan are said to have rejected ideas on how to prepare him.

A source told the newspaper: "We repeatedly sat down with Harry and Meghan before the engagement announcement to say this needed to be handled sensitively, but that it had to be handled.
"We desperately asked them to engage with Thomas, but they wouldn’t. Aides also offered to go personally and see him to try and find a way to protect him.

"There is genuine disbelief and bemusement in the household at the couple’s approach to him and that Harry has still not met his father-in-law.”


Another aide said: “Thomas is troubled, but Harry and Meghan would not engage in the issue of going out to see him and for Harry to meet him. It was raised before their engagement and again constantly in the months afterwards, leading up to the wedding.

"Everyone knew it would be a huge issue that would explode if they didn’t address it and deal with it.”

In Finding Freedom, serialised in The Sunday Times reports how Meghan blamed the media for the fallout, saying: “He’s vulnerable. He’s been baited.

"A lot of the tabloid journalists have been coaxing him and paying him. I don’t know if he really even had a chance.”

The Sussexes had declined to comment.

The Duchess has blamed the breakdown of her relationship on the press before, revealing in new court papers filed by her lawyers they became distanced when he was "targeted three years ago".

She said they “had a very close father/daughter relationship throughout her childhood and remained close", until he was unable to come to her wedding 2018.

...yeah absolutely...Harry I think has been very scarred by the media particularly because he’s had his parentage questioned as well....

How can anyone claim fo be close to their Dad and not introduce them to the person they are going to marry

"The book also claims Meghan expanded Harry's "spiritual world", introducing him to yoga through her own practice and with her encouragement he began a daily session of meditation."

As per the article I posted:

Quote:
Sources told the Sunday Times they didn't listen to suggestions they should meet Thomas, 76, before and after announcing their plans to get married.
And when courtiers raised worries the retired lighting director would be overwhelmed without support, Harry and Meghan are said to have rejected ideas on how to prepare him.

A source told the newspaper: "We repeatedly sat down with Harry and Meghan before the engagement announcement to say this needed to be handled sensitively, but that it had to be handled.
"We desperately asked them to engage with Thomas, but they wouldn’t. Aides also offered to go personally and see him to try and find a way to protect him.

"There is genuine disbelief and bemusement in the household at the couple’s approach to him and that Harry has still not met his father-in-law.”
This is so strange, as it was BEFORE he had the pap photos taken which was said to be the cause of their estrangement.
Thoughts?

One day I will accept my destiny and be crowned and all you peasants will be sorry

Poor Harry all those rumours about his parentage.
My brother often said I was the postman's because he and both my parents had dark hair and skin that actually tans and I was ginger with lily white skin. Although.....my mum did work for the Post Office

I have always found the whole thing very odd, the idea that her Dad had no protection or guidance from the Palace seemed at odds with how carefully the Palace choreograph every move
