The nose that says he’s a Markle

-

IN A 2016 post on her now defunct website, The Tig, Meghan Markle posted an effusive tribute to her father, Thomas.

In the Father’s Day missive, Meghan thanked her dad for ‘my work ethic, my love of Busby Berkeley films and club sandwiches, for teaching me the importance of handwritte­n thank you notes, and for giving me that signature Markle nose. I love you xo – Bean’.

And while Thomas Markle may never get to meet little Archie in person, it seems they have at least one thing in common – the adorable nose Meghan is so proud of.

The duchess and her father have long had a difficult relationsh­ip but spectacula­rly fell out after he colluded with a paparazzi photograph­er in the run-up to her wedding and conducted a series of interviews in the aftermath of the scandal.

Friends of Meghan have indicated that the duchess has no plans to try to repair the relationsh­ip in the short term.

Pictures of Meghan gazing adoringly at her baby yesterday also bear a marked likeness to grainy snaps which capture Doria Ragland gazing tenderly at Rachael Meghan, as she was named at birth, in her arms more than 37 years ago.
