Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir might shed light on his and Meghan Markle’s strained relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, according to insights from royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams. In a recent discussion with GB News, Fitzwilliams hinted that the Duke of Sussex could potentially reveal details of the rift in his forthcoming book.
The speculation arises amid recent remarks made by Thomas Markle in an explosive interview with the Daily Mail. During the interview, the 79-year-old expressed his disappointment over never having met his son-in-law or his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Lilibet. His comments have rekindled interest in the complicated dynamics within the Sussex family and their extended relations.
“Before the engagement, it has never been explained why Harry has never met Thomas Markle,” he said. “That is something that perhaps will be explained in a future memoir, but this is all very sad business.” However, he noted that the Sussexes may never reconcile with Thomas. “It’s not going to be resolved. The fact that Thomas is appealing to King Charles and so forth is not going to mean anything happens, I’m afraid,” he added. “As far as the wider royal drift is concerned, the Royal Family has other priorities at the moment, putting it mildly.”
Fitzwilliams suggested that Prince Harry’s memoir could offer a platform for him to address these personal issues, providing context and perhaps reasons behind the ongoing estrangement. “The reason for the estrangement may be revealed in a future book,” Fitzwilliams stated, pointing to the potential for significant revelations that could clarify many unanswered questions surrounding the family’s public and private conflicts.
As anticipation builds for the release of Harry’s memoir, which promises to be a candid and revealing account of his life within and outside the Royal Family, readers and royal watchers alike are keenly awaiting his version of events, especially regarding his relationship with Thomas Markle. This forthcoming book could serve not only as a tell-all from the Duke’s perspective but also as a critical piece of the puzzle in understanding the high-profile familial tensions that have captivated global audiences.
