Meghan Markle is reportedly bereft of a parent after her dad, Thomas Markle, mentioned Princess Diana during his recent interview.

Angela Levin, a royal commentator, told Express that Markle is most likely worried about her dad’s next move. “It must be desperately upsetting to Meghan, who I think is a very good actor at putting on a good face, but she must be very hurt. She was very close to her father and she did want him to walk her down the aisle. For him to do that has made her speechless psychologically and physically – she can’t say anything to him now,” Levin said.

The author of “Harry: Conversations With the Prince” also said that she doesn’t think Markle’s issues with her family will go away anytime soon.

“I think it will be an ongoing issue. The half-brother and sister seem to imagine the nastier they are about her, the more likely she will come back and be a part of their family. But it doesn’t work like that, does it? I think they will spout at every possible occasion and if Samantha goes into ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ then God knows what she will say,” she said.

Levin also questioned the fact that Thomas shared details about his private conversations with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The author said that this shouldn’t have been the case because those discussions are not meant for the public.

During his interview last week, Thomas said that Princess Diana would’ve loathed the way the royal family has been treating him. The former lighting director claimed that he was cut out of his daughter’s life after he slammed the royal family during his conversation with Piers Morgan.

“The royal family have Meghan treating her father in a way that Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, would have loathed. That’s not what Diana stood for. Princess Diana is credited with changing the royal family, but she wasn’t perfect. She was still very much one of them. I think Meghan’s the one who’ll bring them into the 21st century if they’ll let her,” he said.
