Meghan Markle and Prince Harry pled with Thomas Markle to stop blabbing to the media before their Royal wedding … according to text messages sent by the Sussexes.
Meghan and Harry’s pleas to Thomas leading up to their nuptials have just been made public in Meghan’s lawsuit against an English tabloid, and the text messages spell out the family drama bubbling over before the ceremony.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Prince Harry texted Meghan’s father 5 days before the wedding and 2 days after Thomas was caught staging photos with the paparazzi, saying … “Tom, it’s Harry and I’m going to call you right now. Please pick up, thank you.”
Another text from Harry to Thomas reads … “Tom, Harry again! Really need to speak to u. U do not need to apologize, we understand the circumstances but ‘going public’ will only make the situation worse. If u love Meg and want to make it right please call me as there are two other options which don’t involve u having to speak to the media, who incidentally created this whole situation. So please call me so I can explain. Meg and I are not angry, we just need to speak to u. Thanks.”
Remember, Thomas was awfully chatty with the press after it was announced he would not be attending the Royal wedding.
Another text from the Sussexes to Thomas says … “Oh any speaking to the press WILL backfire, trust me Tom. Only we can help u, as we have been trying from day 1.”
The docs also reveal texts Meghan sent to her father in May 2018, asking which hospital he was being treated for a heart attack and offering him protection.
Meghan wrote … “I’ve been reaching out to you all weekend but you’re not taking any of our calls or replying to any texts… Very concerned about your health and safety and have taken every measure to protect you but not sure what more we can do if you don’t respond…Do you need help? Can we send the security team down again? I’m very sorry to hear you’re in the hospital but need you to please get in touch with us… What hospital are you at?”
The Duchess followed up with another text telling her father she and Harry were “dispatching the same security guys you turned away this weekend to be a presence on the ground to make sure you’re safe.”
The docs say Thomas rebuffed the offer, even though Harry “pleaded with Mr. Markle to let them help him.”
The emotionally-charged texts were included in legal docs submitted to the court Friday by Meghan’s legal team, as part of her lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
