Meghan Markle said that she was asked to send the letter to her estranged father Thomas Markle, which was eventually made public by a newspaper, by both Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, who is now the king.

Meghan discussed the specifics of the episode in the first episode of the Netflix documentary.

When discussing her relationship with her father, Meghan remarked that they had been close for the majority of her life.

“You know family, never easy, never perfect.

But of course I talked to my dad several times a week.”

When asked when things started to go wrong there, she responded, “When the media got involved.”

The Duchess of Sussex stated,  “After the wedding my dad started doing interviews mostly saying things about me. It was incredibly painful. The world is watching this drama play out.”

And after that, she continued, “he started criticizing the royal family.

“But it was very embarrassing for the family.

It was a problem that needed to be solved and they wanted me to make it stop.”

“I had reached her Majesty (Late Queen Elizabeth),” the Duchess of Sussex remarked.

“But ultimately it was suggested by the Queen and Prince of Wales that I write my dad a letter. And I had gone to great lengths to get that letter to my dad discreetly. Because I can’t put this letter in the mail with the return address being Kensington Palace and send it to Tom Markle and assume its gonna get there.”

“So send it to my business manager in Los Angeles, ” she said. He’ll recognise that name, I thought. And then get the picture of signature confirmation that this has been delivered. And it is not his signature. That’s not my dad’s handwriting. It just says “Thomas”.

The letter was made public.

She said, “It was horrendous. The Daily Mail said, “we have full and complete five-page letter.”

“You want to print my letter which you know you can’t do legally. But you want to print it and paint a completely different picture of who I am and what’s my relationship with my dad.”

Prince Harry claimed that the newspaper printed the letter because they believed that the family would convince us not to file a lawsuit.

Meghan said, “We sat down with the lawyer for the institution and senior members of the palace. And it was in those meetings that I reminded them that ‘Iwrote that letter at the guidance of senior members of the family’. ‘Youknow this is unlawful so we have to draw the line. We have to take legal action. They said ‘yes, of course’.”

The Duchess said, “And I would follow up for weeks and weeks and weeks.”

Hey, what’s going on with this. Nothing.”

“After months of saying she needs to something about this’, Prince Harry remarked,  we took separate legal advice.”
