Meghan Markle’s estranged father Thomas dubs the Sussexes’ silence over Scobie book as ‘unusual’

Meghan Markle’s estranged father Thomas believes the silence from the Sussexes is ‘unusual.’

Mr Markle, 79, who fell out with daughter Meghan when he suffered two heart attacks on the eve of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry and was unable to walk her down the aisle, said: ‘Another letter? Again?’

Meghan wrote her father a five-page letter after her wedding. The existence of the letter was ‘leaked’ to People magazine by five of her friends six months later.

Mr Markle said: ‘Here we have another letter from my daughter which has somehow made it into the public domain. Another letter? Again? The fact that Harry and Meghan have not publicly distanced themselves from this strikes me as unusual.’
