How Meghan Markle Was Betrayed By Her Father Thomas Markle

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has spoken up about how her father Thomas Markle betrayed her by going behind her back to speak to the press.

Meghan's disclosure was captured during her interview with TV personality and actress Oprah Winfrey in which she dished on her relationship with her father.

She said, "There was such an obsession about anything in my world., including tracking down my parents. And I did everything I could to protect both of them in that media frenzy."

"But for over a year, the UK tabloids were trying to find my dad, offering people so much money to try to find his address."

"Once they did, I remember being told there was a huge headline like, 'We found him' or 'We've got him'. You're talking about someone's father."

"And from that point, the tabloids, they moved into the apartment next door and across from him. Descended on this small town, which is giving him gifts. The whole thing brings us to where we are today."

Meghan Markle was asked if she felt betrayed about her father later speaking to those tabloids and she replied that she did not know if she was comfortable talking about it.

if we were going to use the world betrayal, it's because when I asked him, when we were told by the comms team, this is a story that was going to be coming out, which by the way, the tabloids had apparently known for a month for a month or so and decided to hold until the Sunday before our wedding because they wanted to cerate drama, which is also a really key point in all this."

Speaking further, she said that the tabloids do not report news, they create the news. On her father speaking to the press, she said when she reached out to him about it, he declared that he had "absolutely not" being talking to them.

"I said, you know, the institution has never intervened for anything for us but they can try to go in and kill this story. But if they do this once, we're not going to be able to use the same leverage to protect our kids one day."
