Filial piety comes first, and in any country, filial piety to parents is a commendable and indispensable thing. However, Prince Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, took the initiative to break off relations with her father, and even though his father pleaded, she remained indifferent and did not pay any maintenance expenses, which caused unanimous criticism.
In previous reports, the Sunday Post published a letter from Megan to her father, giving people a new understanding of the father-daughter relationship. The letter, which was part of a 2018 letter that Meghan wrote to her father Thomas, was supposed to be a very personal affair, but the media made it public with Thomas's consent, apparently violating Megan's right to privacy. So for two years, Megan had been suing the newspaper, and finally yesterday, Megan won.
As a result of such trials, the Duchess of Sussex and her father were once again in the spotlight. In 2018, Meghan married Prince Harry, a famous Bachelor in the United Kingdom, who confirmed through an official statement that her father Thomas would not attend the wedding, although Mr. Thomas has repeatedly said in the United States that he is very eager to attend his daughter's wedding, but he is obviously not popular.
Thomas Markle was once a staff member of American television, serving as director of television lighting and director of photography, and it can be said that Megan's career path was influenced by her father. But Megan not only forgot her father's nurturing grace, but after she became famous, she basically broke off relations with her father and siblings, and was unwilling to associate with these "poor relatives". Because of this, Thomas was provoked, and he began appearing regularly in the British media, telling the Daily Mail that Meghan's "sense of superiority" angered him.
Thomas Markle told Channel 5 that Meghan and Harry "owe him," adding that Meghan should take care of his dad. His exact words were: "At this point, they owe me, the royal family owes me, Harry owes me, Meghan owes me." What I've experienced, I deserve to be rewarded. He went on to say, "My daughter told me that when I was old, she would come and take care of me. And now that I'm old, it's time to take care of Dad. ”
Although Megan's father has been outspoken in the media for the past three years, the Meganians have remained silent. Megan spoke about the incident for the first time in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, arguing that Thomas had been working with the tabloids and that she felt betrayed.
Megan: "But I look at Archie and see the kids, and I really can't imagine that I would do anything to intentionally hurt my kids to cause pain, I can't imagine, so it's hard for me to understand my father either." ”
Megan said that she felt that her father should not be exposed in the media, which caused her to be hurt. In fact, the point of the matter is not this, if it is not Megan abandoned her father, did not fulfill her promise to support him, and did not pay any maintenance fees, how could the elderly Mr. Thomas go to the media to complain? If a person really does it right, why is he afraid of being exposed? Megan's statement, she is untenable, sympathetic to Thomas, just as this daughter was raised in vain.
