Meghan Markle did not tell her father Thomas Markle about the exciting news she was expecting her first child with husband Prince Harry, Us Weekly repots.
A source told the publication, “Meghan did not tell Thomas Markle about the pregnancy. He found out the same time as the rest of the world.”
Meghan and her father’s strained relationship has been broadcast across headlines for months, following the lighting director’s “staged” paparazzi photos just days before her Royal Wedding.
Mr Markle has since spoken out on multiple occasions referring to the royal family as “cult-like” and “like Scientologists or the Stepford family.”
The Duchess of Sussex informed her mother Doria Ragland of the news “immediately.”
“Doria is so delighted about the news of her first grandchild,” a source told Us Weekly. “Doria has been helping Meghan through this time in her life immensely. Meghan really looks to Doria for all advice in anything she does.”
The news of Harry and Meghan’s royal bub was announced last night by Kensington Palace, shortly after the couple landed in Australia to begin their first international tour.
“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019,” the palace’s statement read. “Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public.”
