Mr Markle was countering media reports that he has not reached out to her after an unnamed friend of the duchess told USA magazine People: "He's never called; he's never texted". Of course, Meghan hasn't officially said anything about it, but Thomas has been doing his fair share of speaking to the press.

In the alleged letter Meghan wrote she never heard from her father that he wouldn't be attending her wedding - nor did she receive messages from him about his heart attack.

The star went on "we've seen how that ends, I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see that".

Here's the first part, taken from the Daily Mail, followed by reproductions of extracts that make it easier to read.

The actor, who is a friend of the British royal and her husband Prince Harry and attended their royal wedding with his wife Amal last May (18), gave the warning after United Kingdom tabloid the Mail on Sunday published a letter Meghan reportedly wrote to her estranged father, Thomas Markle.

The five anonymous friends gave a series of interviews with People where they said the Duchess has "silently sat back and endured the lies and untruths".

In the interview, Meghan's friends said that her father never called or texted her - something he denies.

"You've told the press that you called me to say you weren't coming to the wedding - that didn't happen because you never called".

"Please stop lying, please stop creating so much pain, please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband", she pleaded.

Sarah Ferguson has opened up on just how hard the world of online bullying is and why she has concerns for the current royals - in particular, "feuding" wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. So to hear about the attacks you made at Harry in the press, who was nothing but patient, kind, and understanding with you is perhaps the most painful of all. "How are you?' I'm not even allowed to ask about her until she finds out about me". "We have disagreements and he was protecting you from me, but I didn't feel that I was attacking him??" "The truth is, it's not acceptable to post abuse or threats on social media or news sites, and it's not acceptable to harangue other users simply because they disagree with you", she wrote. "Fake it for one photo".

And while no members of the royal family have ever addressed the rumours, people online have been commenting on the so-called drama on the Kensington Palace Instagram page.
