TENSIONS and divisions in the Royal Family over Meghan’s strained relationship with her father were revealed yesterday.
The Duchess of Sussex blamed Prince Charles and other royals for “constantly berating” Prince Harry and forcing her to write a letter to her estranged father.
Meghan suggested she had written to Thomas Markle to get members of the Royal Family off her husband’s back. She complained that the Windsors “fundamentally don’t understand” her dysfunctional relationship with her father.
A cache of text messages and email exchanges between Meghan and her then-communications secretary Jason Knauf show that it was while she and Harry were staying with Charles and Camilla at the Castle of Mey in Caithness, Scotland, in August 2018 that she decided to write to her father to placate her in-laws.
In one of the messages, she wrote: “The catalyst for my doing this is seeing how much pain this is causing H. Even after a week with his dad and endlessly explaining the situation, his family seem to forget the context – and revert to ‘can’t she just go and see him and make this stop?’ They fundamentally don’t understand so at least by writing H will be able to say to his family, ‘She wrote him a letter and he’s still doing it.’
“By taking this form of action I protect my husband from this constant berating and, while unlikely, perhaps it will give my father a moment to pause.”
It is the latest revelation of trouble between the Sussexes and Charles. During their television interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, Harry said he “felt let down” by his father.
