Queen Elizabeth's Furious Reaction to Meghan's Dad's Stunt

Let’s just say Buckingham Palace is not a happy place right now. According to reports, Queen Elizabeth herself is beyond furious with Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, after he made headlines by staging paparazzi photos of himself reading a book about the British monarchy. A source close to the royal family told The Daily Express, “Lord Chamberlain, Her Majesty, and the Duke are extremely upset with Meghan’s father.” And if you think that’s bad, just imagine how Meghan and Prince Philip feel now that Thomas has officially decided not to attend the royal wedding.

It seems Thomas Markle was caught in a whirlwind of indecision over whether he would attend the nuptials. He was back and forth about coming, citing health concerns, until he underwent heart surgery recently. Before the surgery, he told TMZ, “The doctors will go in and clear the blockage, repair any damage, and place a stent where necessary.” It's clear this has been a stressful situation for everyone involved, but especially for Meghan, who's about to walk down the aisle.

On Thursday, May 17, Meghan issued a heartfelt statement confirming that her father wouldn’t be attending the wedding due to his health. She said, “Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I’ve always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health.” She continued, “I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday.”

Now, let’s backtrack a bit to the root of this drama. It all started when it was revealed that Thomas Markle had staged paparazzi photos for a cool $100,000. While the exact reasons remain unclear, his son, Thomas Markle Jr., claims that Thomas is “deeply embarrassed” about the situation. It’s been reported that Meghan’s father plans to apologize to both Meghan and Prince Harry privately. But will that be enough to repair the damage done?

The Impact on Meghan's Wedding Preparations

Regardless of whether Thomas apologizes, the entire scandal has undoubtedly caused Meghan immense stress as her wedding day approaches. There’s tangible evidence of this strain, especially in the statement released by a Kensington Palace spokesperson addressing the staged paparazzi photos and how the couple is handling the situation.

“This is a deeply personal moment for Ms. Markle in the days leading up to her wedding,” the spokesperson said. “She and Prince Harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to Mr. Markle in this difficult situation.” It’s hard to imagine how Meghan and her father’s relationship will recover after all that’s happened.
