Well, folks, it looks like Meghan Markle's dad, Thomas Markle, isn't too thrilled with Lifetime's take on his daughter's life. In case you missed it, Lifetime released a movie called Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal, and Thomas isn't exactly a fan. According to TMZ, the 74-year-old feels incredibly let down by how the network portrayed him in the film. He says he feels "personally attacked" by the whole thing, and honestly, I don’t blame him. Let’s dive deeper into what’s really going on here.
Thomas Markle has some serious concerns about the movie's accuracy. One of the biggest issues he has is the way the film handles why he wasn’t at Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry. In the movie, there’s a scene where the actress playing Meghan is on the phone with her dad, learning that he can’t walk her down the aisle because of "heart palpitations." The movie suggests that Meghan had to find out about this through the tabloids, which Thomas insists is not the truth. He says he didn’t just bail on the wedding—he had a heart attack and was recovering from surgery. That’s a pretty big difference, don’t you think?
Thomas Calls the Movie "Dumb Fiction"
Thomas isn’t holding back his feelings. He’s calling the Lifetime movie “dumb fiction,” and honestly, who can blame him? The way the film portrays his absence from the wedding is not only inaccurate but feels like a stab in the back. Imagine being the father of the bride and having your reasons for missing such a monumental occasion misrepresented on the big screen. It’s not just about the movie—it’s about respect and truth. Thomas is clearly upset, and I don’t think anyone can fault him for feeling that way.

The Complicated Relationship Between Meghan and Her Dad
The relationship between Meghan and her dad has been up and down, to say the least. Her sister, Samantha Markle, has been vocal about wanting to mend fences between the two. Back in 2018, Samantha sent Meghan a Christmas card urging her to reconnect with their father. She wrote, "This is not meant to be formal. The holidays are a time for family and are sentimental." It was a heartfelt plea for reconciliation, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as smoothly as Samantha hoped.
