Meghan Markle’s estranged father rips Netflix series, accuses Duchess of ‘faking it for the cameras

Meghan Markle’s Estranged Father Criticizes Netflix Series, Accuses Duchess of ‘Faking It for the Cameras’
Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, has once again publicly criticized his daughter, this time taking aim at her Netflix docuseries with Prince Harry. In a scathing commentary, Thomas accused the Duchess of Sussex of “faking it for the cameras” and questioned the authenticity of her emotional moments in the series.
Thomas Markle’s Latest Criticism
Thomas Markle, 79, has been vocal about his estrangement from Meghan since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018. In a recent interview, he expressed his disapproval of the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, claiming that his daughter was putting on an act for the cameras. According to him, Meghan’s portrayal of personal struggles, emotional hardships, and her claims of being mistreated were exaggerated or fabricated.
“She’s faking it. It’s all for show,” Thomas said. “This is not the Meghan I knew. She was never this way before.”
A History of Family Drama
The Markle family’s tensions have been in the public eye for years. Meghan has distanced herself from her father, citing betrayal and a lack of trust, particularly after he staged paparazzi photos before her wedding and later leaked private letters. Despite repeated attempts by Thomas to reconnect, Meghan has remained silent, choosing not to engage with him publicly.
Thomas has consistently painted himself as a heartbroken father who simply wants to mend his relationship with his daughter and meet his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. However, his repeated media interviews and criticisms of Meghan have only deepened the divide.
Public Reaction and Meghan’s Silence
Despite the harsh words from her father, Meghan has not publicly responded to his latest accusations. The Duchess has largely chosen to ignore negative press from her estranged family members, instead focusing on her charity work, business ventures, and life with Prince Harry in California.
Many royal watchers and Meghan’s supporters have dismissed Thomas Markle’s claims as another attempt to seek media attention. Critics argue that his repeated public attacks on Meghan only reinforce why she has chosen to keep her distance.
The Bigger Picture
The Netflix series Harry & Meghan sparked a global conversation about the couple’s struggles with the royal family, mental health, and media scrutiny. While some praised the documentary for shedding light on their perspective, others like Thomas Markle questioned its sincerity.
With Thomas Markle’s latest comments, it remains clear that the rift between him and Meghan is far from being repaired. Whether Meghan will ever respond or reconcile with her father remains uncertain, but for now, she appears content keeping her distance from the ongoing family drama.
