Meghan Markle’s Dad Upset Over Ignored Birthday Gesture
Thomas Markle, the 77-year-old Emmy Award-winning lighting director, expressed his disappointment as he claimed that his sweet birthday gesture towards his daughter Meghan Markle was ignored.
The relationship between Thomas and the Duchess of Sussex has been strained, especially after Meghan turned 40 last year.
According to reports, Thomas sent Meghan a bouquet of flowers for her 40th birthday, along with a personalized card wishing her a happy birthday and brighter days.
The bouquet featured a dozen red roses with two yellow roses in the middle, symbolizing Meghan and Prince Harry's two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Thomas wanted to incorporate his grandchildren into Meghan's birthday celebration, expressing his desire to be a part of their lives as he feels they lack sufficient family around them in Montecito.
Despite his efforts, Thomas claims that Meghan has been ignoring him for years and has denied him access to his grandchildren.
Feeling frustrated, Thomas is reportedly considering legal action against the couple to gain access to Archie and Lilibet.
In an interview with Fox News, he emphasized that the children should not be punished for the actions of Meghan and Harry, stating that they are entitled to the same rights as any other royal.
Thomas also criticized Prince Harry for his upcoming autobiography, questioning the need for more revelations after multiple sessions with psychiatrists and Oprah Winfrey.
He expressed his intention to petition the California courts for the right to see his grandchildren in the near future.
On another note, before finding her prince charming in Prince Harry, Meghan Markle had a list of previous boyfriends.
She dated Corey Vitiello, Rory Mallory, Michael Del Zotto, and Trevor Endleson.
Meghan's relationship with Michael, who was also married to Trevor, ended in divorce after two years.
Meghan's longest known relationship before Harry was with chef Corey Vitiello, whom she dated for three years.
Prior to that, she was married to director Trevor Endleson in a lavish ceremony that ended in divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
Rumors of a romance between Meghan and professional golfer Rory McIlroy surfaced before she met Prince Harry.
The two were seen enjoying a meal together in Dublin, sparking speculation among fans.
However, both Meghan and Rory dismissed the dating rumors, confirming that they were just friends.
Despite her past relationships, Meghan eventually found love with Prince Harry, with whom she shares two children.
The journey to finding her prince charming was filled with ups and downs, but Meghan seems to have found her happily ever after.
