Meghan Markle has reportedly reacted to her dad Thomas Markle’s recent interviews, according to her close friends.

Karen Ruiz, a journalist for Daily Mail, claimed that the Duchess of Sussex spoke to her friends, and they shared details about their conversation with the former actress. Markle’s friend said that Prince Harry’s wife has had enough of her father’s interviews.

“For the life of her, she can’t understand why he’s digging such a deep hole for himself and to say things like, ‘It would be easier for her if her dad died.’ She said she just wishes her dad would stop blathering to the press. That’s the one birthday gift she wanted from her father,” the source said.

Ruiz’s insider also said that Markle has no plans to reach out to her dad anytime soon. So reports about the Duchess of Sussex allotting two days to visit Thomas in the United States are false.

“Meghan has no immediate plans to contact her father. Firstly, she’s deeply hurt and secondly, she can’t trust him to keep their conversation private. Meghan is big on being true to herself and taking care of herself, and if this means avoiding toxic relationships, so be it. It’s not like she’s never going to speak with her dad again, but certainly not now, not in this climate,” the source added.

In recent weeks, Thomas told reporters that his daughter cut him out of her life completely. The former lighting director said that she used to have a contact number of Markle’s palace aides, but they blocked him. Thomas also said that he wanted to greet his daughter on her birthday, but was unable to do so because he couldn’t reach him.

Markle’s close friend revealed that this wasn’t the first time that she had to deal with her dad’s drama.

“Behavior like this doesn’t happen overnight. Why do you think her parents got divorced in the first place? Meghan’s had to deal with a lot of self-esteem issues growing up with a narcissist. She has tools to cope with emotional blackmail. She does pray for him,” the insider concluded.
