PUBLIC CONFESSIONS

Thomas caused controversy among the royal family when he set up staged paparazzi photos of himself ahead of his daughter’s wedding. The images included shots of him being measured for a suit and even reading books about British landmarks. The humiliation didn’t stop there, with him continually talking to the media, too. But, we’re told that Meghan can’t help but feel partly to blame for her father’s outbursts. ‘Meghan worries that her dad didn’t have the guidance or support from her and that perhaps she could have done more to protect him at the beginning of the media storm,’ adds our insider. ‘It was all new to her too and she didn’t really know what to do. The public outbursts were embarrassing, but she didn’t feel that it was appropriate to be pandering to him given what he was saying in the press.’
