Meghan Markle's Future in the Royal Family Hinges on Reconciliation with Ailing Father
Meghan Markle's relationship with her ailing father, Thomas Markle Sr., has become a significant factor in her future within the Royal Family. While she currently holds no official role, the trust and reconciliation between Meghan and her father may be a crucial step towards any potential rekindling of her connection with the royal family.
Strained Relationship with Her Family
According to reports, Meghan's relationship with her family, particularly her ailing father, has been strained for over six years. In 2018, when Meghan married Prince Harry, she was already estranged from her half-siblings, Thomas Markle Jr., and Samantha, due to privacy invasion issues. When her father required medical attention, he chose to stage a fake heart attack to avoid traveling to Meghan's wedding, which further damaged their relationship.
To add to the complexity, her father's behavior, which included selling pictures to tabloids, has been cited as part of his bad behavior. This behavior has likely contributed to a more cynical or realistic view of the dynamics within her husband's family.
Loss of Role within the Royal Family
Meghan Markle's official role within the Royal Family is non-existent. She was asked to leave her position due to demands for payment to only perform tasks that aligned with her preferences, rather than the 'boring stuff.' This decision was made by the Royal family themselves, effectively 'sacking' her.
The royal family's reasoning behind her departure was due to her insistence on only performing tasks they liked, a claim reportedly dismissed by Meghan Markle as a cover-up. The situation underscores the tension between personal and royal duty, further complicating any potential return to the royal fold.
Future Prospects and Public Perception
Public perception of Harry and Meghan's role in the royal family is a significant factor in any future reconciliation. When a member of the royal family, like Harry, allows his wife to disrespect Britain and its traditions, it often leads to public backlash. Even if Charles and William forgive Harry and Meghan, the British public might not.
The couple's actions have resulted in the burning of bridges with the British people. Therefore, any attempts to reconcile or return to royal duties would likely face substantial public opposition. The cover-up of Harry's immigration paperwork, for instance, would be better left unexplored, as it only heightens the public's distrust.
Conclusion
Given the estranged relationship between Meghan and her father, any future efforts by Meghan and Harry to re-enter the royal fold will need to address these dynamics. It is hoped that efforts to reconcile with her ailing father will pave the way for more constructive interactions with the royal family.
