Dad rejects Meghan’s rift plea

THE full content of a sensational letter written by the Duchess of Sussex to her estranged father shortly after her wedding has been revealed for the first time.

Friends of the Duchess told an American celebrity magazine that she penned the anguished letter begging him to patch up their differences pri- vately. But Mr Markle, 74, said the letter, extracts of which were published yesterday by The Mail on Sunday, is far from conciliatory and has left him feeling devastated.

In elegant script, the Duchess accuses him of breaking her heart into a million pieces by giving interviews to the press, fabricating stories and attacking her new husband. The former award-winning Hollywood lighting director, who now lives in Mexico, said that he never intended to make the handwritten missive public out of respect for Meghan — but says he has been forced to do so now because its contents have been falsely portrayed.
