Meghan explains why she did not let her father see her children

Meghan has explained that she cut contact with her father, Thomas Markle, to protect her children after being informed of disturbing allegations about him in 2018. Their once-close relationship had deteriorated before her wedding to Prince Harry, particularly after Thomas gave numerous media interviews and withdrew from the wedding days before the ceremony. He later repeatedly complained that he could no longer see his daughter, Harry or his grandchildren, while Meghan remained silent. Her statement responds to speculation that she had rejected him to protect her reputation or privacy.
