Meghan Markle ‘has no plans to ever see her father again’

A source close to the Sussexes said Markle is now determined to ‘maintain boundaries’ with her estranged father.

They added: “She has made it clear that she wants this exchange to remain private and has no intention of revisiting previous issues. Privately, she says she will never see Thomas in person again.”

Meghan is said to have deleted her father’s phone number, a move that dates back to shortly after her marriage to Prince Harry, now 41, which Thomas did not attend.

He never met Harry or the couple’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

A palace source described the Duchess’s current position as firm.

They said: “She believes she has made careful and safe contact but her decision is final – no visits will take place.”

Before their estrangement, Markle and her former lighting director father were close.
