Meghan, as a high-profile self-media creator, has always been in the limelight, and despite having withdrawn from the British royal family, her topic has always made waves in the media. This time, we'll explore the complex relationship between Meghan and her father, from intimacy to conflict, and her father's desire to meet his grandson.
Meghan's childhood wasn't as perfect as some might think. Although she grew up in a single-parent household, her father, Thomas, gave her full fatherly love. Meghan's brother once said: "My father dedicated his life to her (Megan) – she owes it to him for what she is today." This view has been confirmed by some people familiar with the matter, who say Thomas has been working hard to raise Meghan alone. However, she put her mother at the top of her wedding but did not invite her father, which sparked speculation that there was an untold story between Megan and her father.
However, Thomas's account is different, stating that Meghan's mother left them when she was very young, and Meghan was raised by him. This means that Meghan spent a lot of intimate time with her father, who played a major role in her upbringing. However, a royal writer named Andrew Morton mentions in his book that Meghan actually grew up with her mother and only went to her father's house for one night every weekend. The two accounts are far from each other, and only Meghan herself knows the truth.
Although Thomas did not anticipate such a change in his relationship with Megan, he still expressed his deep affection for his daughter: "I will always be by her side, I still love her, I will always love her." He believes that his daughter distanced herself from him because of a misunderstanding. When one of Meghan's letters was leaked, she thought it was her father who leaked it, so she severed all contact with his father. However, Megan believes that it is the father who wants to make money by smearing her. Now, five years later, Meghan has become a U.S. citizen, but she still hasn't forgiven her father or given him the opportunity to see her grandson. Thomas repeatedly appealed in front of the media: "Let me meet Archie", he felt deprived of the right to visit his grandson, heartbroken and sad. Although Thomas could well have taken legal action under U.S. law, he chose not to do so out of love for his daughter.
Thomas's son Tom also came out to appeal: call his father and ask him not to leave regrets before he dies. Thomas once said that his only wish on his death was to see Archie. However, Meghan seems uncompromising on this.
The conflict between Meghan and her father casts a shadow over their relationship. No matter what happens, they should try to untie the knot, especially for the innocent Archie, who deserves to bond with his grandfather. Thomas is over seventy years old, and the future time cannot be predicted, but after all, they are the bond between family relationships, and this family relationship should not be broken.
Thomas's performance in front of the media is distressing, but past events should also be dusted. The relationship between Meghan and her father is sad, but they should both try to repair it. Love is inclusion and tolerance, and perhaps Megan could consider fulfilling her father's wish to meet his grandson. After all, this is essential for family harmony.
