Meghan Markle is unlikely to visit her father Thomas Markle in the United States despite his recent leg amputation and return from the Philippines, a royal expert has claimed. He argued that the Duchess of Sussex feels 'ashamed' about their long-running estrangement.
Relations between Meghan and Thomas Markle have been strained since before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. The former lighting director, now 81, did not walk his daughter down the aisle at Windsor Castle after suffering heart problems and becoming embroiled in controversy over staged paparazzi photographs. Since then, the pair have rarely spoken, and the family rift has largely unfolded through interviews, court papers and comments from people around them.
