Royal News continues to be lively after a new round of criticism has been thrown at Meghan Markle regarding her communication with her father, Thomas Markle, during his hospitalisation. The matter has escalated to such an extent that TV presenter Mark Dolan has come in, strongly disagreeing with the Duchess of Sussex’s decisions. Reading on will give you more information about it.
Pressure Intensifies On Meghan Markle To Explain Her Actions
Mark Dolan called Thomas Markle an old man, thus suggesting that he has some pretty serious health issues. In addition to that, he didn’t just mention the father’s age and health, but also that he is healing in another country, which is a considerable distance from most of his family.
He says that journalist Caroline Graham played a crucial role during this period. According to him, she stepped in when others were not present full-time. And while Thomas was recovering in the hospital, she offered her support. Furthermore, he says that the criticism towards Graham was unfair. And it’s especially after her closeness to Thomas during a vulnerable period.
A spokesperson for Meghan Markle also addressed Graham’s presence. They said that a reporter who was at Thomas’s bedside made private communication extremely difficult. And when Meghan wanted to contact her father, the situation was complicated. However, her correspondence eventually reached him using trusted contacts.
Dolan says that poorly reflects Meghan’s public relations strategy. He says that this situation is a narrative that is still followed by the Duchess. And it’s especially as she looks forward to establishing herself in Hollywood.
Royal News: Questions Around Timing And Personal Contact
Moreover, this criticism has escalated due to Meghan’s decision to stay back in California during her father’s hospital stay. Dolan says it is a public relations disaster. He also argued that a letter was insufficient because of Thomas Markle’s condition.
He also pointed to reports from Thomas Markle Jr. Elsewhere, he had stated that his father was fighting for life. Moreover, Dolan says that receiving written correspondence and not a personal visit or direct call is disappointing. It’s because someone was hoping for reconciliation during a health crisis.
He also questioned whether Meghan’s actions were empathetic. He also says that even if the news of her father’s condition was not enough to visit, then there are low chances ot things moving forward. For more Royal News and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
