According to the Daily Mirror, the Duchess has turned her back on her father Thomas Markle, and instead now looks to Harry’s dad, Prince Charles when she needs assistance.
Meghan has a strong bond with Charles, with a source telling the publication: “She sees Charles as a father figure.”
Doria, Meghan’s mum, also plays an important part in her daughter and grandson’s life, however the Duchess is said to be refusing to let her shamed father back into her life.
Meghan is determined to surround baby Archie with only positive influences as he grow up.
Since she married Prince Harry, her relationship with his father, Charles has grown.
“Her family-related struggles have only made her and Charles grow closer. This is in no way about him wishing to replace her father,” a source told the Daily Mirror.
“Charles just feels very protective over Meghan, and of course Harry, and in anything that may be affecting his family.
“He is very conscious that joining the family is a major step and is on hand if Meghan needs any advice at all.”
With Archie’s christening happening this weekend, it’s unlikely that any of Meghan’s family, aside from her mother, will be attending.
It’s been announced that the guest list will be kept small, with only 25 people present at the intimate gathering.
“This is a beautiful milestone and they are excited to share it as a family first and then with the world,” a source told PEOPLE.
