Meghan Markle has reportedly snubbed her father, Thomas Markle, on his 80th birthday, despite his hopes for reconciliation. According to reports, Thomas celebrated this milestone without any contact from Meghan, as their feud continues into its sixth year.
Thomas Markle, who resides in Rosarito, Mexico, roughly 250 miles from Meghan and Harry’s Montecito mansion, expressed his birthday wishes last month in an interview with the Daily Mail. “I’ve never been one for birthdays, but I know the one person I most want to hear from, Meghan, won’t be in touch. I would love to meet my grandchildren, but I would be happy with a photograph at this stage,” he shared.
In the same interview, Thomas pleaded with Meghan to resolve their differences in time for his 80th birthday. “I wish we could have worked this situation out. I was always ready and willing to do that,” he said.
Thomas also revealed his emotional concern that he might die without ever meeting his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. This ongoing estrangement from Meghan has been a source of public interest and personal sorrow for him.
This latest development adds another chapter to the long-standing tension between Meghan and her father, highlighting the personal challenges that continue to impact their family dynamic. Despite Thomas Markle’s public appeals, the rift shows no signs of mending, leaving the family divided.
