Thomas Markle, Meghan’s separate father, Duchess of Sussex, celebrated his 81th birthday on Friday, without any contact of his daughter or access to his grandchildren.
According Express United KingdomThe day was “full of mixed emotions” for the Hollywood lighting director, who has made repeated public supplications to connect with Meghan. Despite their efforts, the two remain separated, and still have to meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Meghan’s children with Prince Harry.
While neither Meghan nor their supporters recognized the occasion publicly, some real fans, particularly supporters of Prince William and Kate Middleton, resorted to social networks to share birth tributes to Thomas. Many praised him for speaking previously against Meghan, highlighting the ongoing divisions between the real observers.

The breakdown in the father-daughter relationship dates back to 2018, when Thomas posed for the paparazzi photos staged before Meghan’s royal wedding. The images, which included it by reading about British culture and being equipped for a demand, caused controversy and, according to the reports, caused shame for the royal family.
A few days before Thomas’s birthday, Meghan published a cryptic message on Instagram, feeding even more speculation but not offering direct comments about his father.
