Thomas Markle hits back at daughter Meghan’s claim about her childhood: ‘She’s trying so hard to be perfect’ 🔽

Thomas Markle claims daughter Meghan Markle’s grandmother would be ‘turning in her grave’ over her decision after marrying Prince Harry

Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, has accused his daughter of “faking it for the cameras” and trying too hard to stay in the limelight, following the release of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

In a scathing critique, Thomas claimed that his late mother – Meghan’s grandmother – would be deeply disappointed by Meghan’s recent dismissal of the Markle name in favour of Sussex.

“My mum loved Meghan very much. But she would be so disappointed to hear that Meghan no longer wants to use the name ‘Markle,’” Thomas told MailOnline. “My mother was proud to be a Markle. So am I. Meghan never had a problem with the Markle name until she met Prince Harry.”

He added that Meghan’s grandmother would be “turning in her grave”.

Thomas also took issue with Meghan’s portrayal of her childhood in With Love, Meghan.

In episode two, the duchess claimed that she was a “latchkey kid” who grew up eating TV dinners.

Speaking to actress Mindy Kaling, Meghan reflected on her upbringing. “[I grew up with] a lot of fast food and also a lot of TV tray dinners,” she said. “It feels like such a different time, but that was so normal with the microwavable kids’ meals.”
