Late Queen Elizabeth II once advised Meghan Markle regarding her issues with her father Thomas Markle hoping for reconciliation.

New Royal Book Claims Queen Wanted Meghan Markle to Mend Her Relationship With Father Thomas

Meghan Markle does not share a cordial relationship with her father, Thomas
Markle. The father-daughter duo seemed to have resolved their issues following
Meghan’s engagement with Prince Harry, as Thomas looked enthusiastic about
walking his daughter down the aisle. However, things went downhill just before
the wedding as the former television lighting director did not attend the
ceremony in May 2018 in the United Kingdom.

In the month of the wedding, there were various yes and nos from Meghan’s father
regarding his arrival at St. George’s Chapel. The royal family finally released
an official statement two days before the wedding to confirm Thomas’ absence.
King Charles III was the one who walked the former actress down the aisle. The
late Queen was compassionate towards the whole situation as she urged Meghan
Markle to reconcile with her father.

WHAT WAS QUEEN’S OPINION ABOUT MEGHAN MARKLE AND HER FATHER?

In her book, The New Royals, Katie Nicholl revealed that Queen Elizabeth II
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-what-reservations-queen-elizabeth-ii-had-with-meghan-markle-pure-white-wedding-dress/]
was concerned about the relationship between Meghan Markle and her father. She
wanted the father and daughter to reunite by leaving all the grudges behind. The
late monarch told the Duchess of Sussex to sort things out. She also felt that
Prince Harry should have met Thomas before the wedding. Notably, the Duke never
had a personal meeting with Meghan’s father before the royal wedding. 

“She thought the whole thing could have been better handled. From a practical
point, the Queen did what she could for the family’s newest member and given
Meghan’s boots-on-ground approach made sure the new duchess had the support she
needed,” the royal expert mentioned in her book as quoted by ET

Thomas gave his heart surgery as an excuse for missing his daughter’s special
day. However, rumors suggested that his act of staging photographs with the
British tabloids a week before the wedding did not go well with Meghan Markle.
In one picture that was released before the royal ceremony, Thomas was trying on
his suit while the other photograph pictured him reading a book on Britain.
