Meghan Markle row: Is the Queen behind Meghan’s decision to not let Thomas see Archie?

Sources close to the Duchess of Sussex have recently claimed she has no plans to speak to her father Thomas Markle again after his most recent interview. The former actress also has no intention of letting Thomas ever see his little grandson, Archie Harrison, who will exactly be four months old in a couple of days. One source told The Sun: “It’s a terribly sad situation but Meghan has made the very difficult decision that she doesn’t have an active relationship with her father anymore.

“This was actually a decision she made some time ago and it is something she’s now coming to terms with.

“It’s obviously heartbreaking for her but she has to protect herself, her husband and her son.

“Thomas hasn’t met Harry and it’s unlikely he’ll meet Archie either.”

Meghan’s father, a former Hollywood lighting director, stirred up more trouble at the weekend by having a dig at Meghan and Harry’s recent trips on private jets.

He said: “I’ve still never met my son-in-law. Why couldn’t Prince Harry have got on a plane and flown to see me to ask for her hand?

“He obviously has no problem getting on private jets.”

Thomas, who has two other children, also claimed he would “love to know” if his royal grandson has “the famous Markle nose”.

He told the Mail on Sunday: “I would like them to send me a picture of Archie so I can frame it and put it on my wall beside the one of Meghan.

“Of course I’m disappointed not to see Archie. I had hoped becoming a mother would mellow Meghan and she would reach out.”

According to a newly-resurfaced report, Meghan’s decision of completely cutting ties with her father might have been taken due to pressures from the Queen.

In 2018, the Daily Mirror reported that Royal aides in Buckingham Palace were plotting to silence Thomas Markle and that advisers had held at least three top-level crisis meetings on the subject.

A source close to Buckingham Palace told the Mirror: “Meghan is deeply hurt by what is happening and everything is being done behind the scenes to make sure her welfare is at the top of the agenda.

“It’s an increasingly desperate ­situation and now it’s come down to three options being on the table.

“Firstly, Meghan could contact her father straight away and appeal to him directly to ask him to stop hurting her, but right now she’s decided to cut him off.

“There is a possibility an ­intermediary could meet with him and appeal to him to stop making such hurtful ­statements.

“The final option would be for Meghan to cut him off completely in the hope he will stop, but the ­situation is so precarious no one knows when that would be.”

Phil Dampier, who has been writing about the Royal Family for 26 years also commented on the situation and claimed that it was “getting out of control”.

He added: “If this carries on I wouldn’t be surprised if the Queen herself gets involved and bangs a few heads together.”

In the wake of her estranged father’s explosive rants to the media, Meghan reportedly leaned on her sister-in-law Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.

A royal source said: “Kate’s well aware of what Meghan is going through.

“Her family has been dragged through the tabloids and she knows it’s not nice. She’s made a big effort to be kind to Meghan and look out for her.”

Meghan has had to deal with a number of family dramas since her relationship with Prince Harry.

Samantha Markle, Meghan’s half-sister, has also reportedly not spoken to the Duchess in years and continues to lambast her half-sister in TV interviews and online.

She recently branded the Royal Family a “disgrace for the family” and warned she would hold Meghan responsible if their father dies.
