Staged photos and selling relationships: Meghan Markle's father wants to profit from his daughter?
Recently, a number of photographs of Meghan Markle’s father preparing for his daughter’s wedding were published on the Internet. The man looks rather pathetic, taking measurements of his suit practically at the market, looking sadly at photos of Meghan and Prince Harry together in an Internet cafe, and returning from the store with a can of beer to his hotel room costing $70 a night. It turned out that all these photos were faked, and Thomas Markle made good money on the image of an abandoned, unhappy father who was neglected by his own daughter, and who still comes to the wedding to take her to the altar. Details - on WANT.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 based on 2 votes
The photographs are fabricated: Meghan Markle's father was spotted in the company of photographer Jeff Rayner during a photo shoot in an Internet cafe known to all Internet users.
In addition, the “tailor” taking measurements from Thomas Markle turned out to be a certain 17-year-old exchange student David Flores, who works part-time in a local store. Flores said Markle came to him with a photographer, took a tape measure from his pocket and asked him to measure him while Rayner took them from across the street.
The “abandoned” father even paid the guy $15 for the work. “I don’t speak English well, but I understood what this man wanted from me. I took measurements and told him, but he didn’t even write them down, and the guy with the camera took pictures of us. About 20 minutes later he thanked me, gave me a 15 dollar tip and left. They left with the photographer in a gray minivan. I had no idea who these people were until I saw the photo on the news,” Flores said.
It became known that Megan's father sold these photographs to world publications for a tidy sum - about 100 thousand pounds sterling! This news was a real shame for the future spouses and the entire Royal Family.

Meghan Markle's childhood
Rachel Meghan Markle, which is the name the future duchess received at birth, was born on August 4, 1981 in Los Angeles. Megan is of mixed ethnicity: her father is of Dutch and Irish descent, and her mother is African-American.
From an early age, the girl was a frequent guest on the set, because her father is a successful director of photography.

He remembered his mother, the late Princess Diana: “I lost my mother and now I see my wife falling victim to the same forces.”
Harry and Meghan are paying for their own lawyers. If they are awarded compensation, all the money will be donated to an anti-bullying charity, they said.
What does the newspaper say in response to Meghan's lawsuit?
The Mail on Sunday, as is clear from 44 pages of material collected in response to the duchess's claim, intends to build its defense strategy as follows:
- Meghan claims she hasn't made public attention about her relationship with her father - but the newspaper claims she didn't stop her friends from talking about it in an interview with a US magazine;
- The Duchess claims that the publication of her letter violates her copyright - but the Mail on Sunday counters that the letter is not copyrighted as an "original literary text", but is merely a recitation of existing facts;
- Megan claims that this publication violated her right to the protection of personal data - however, the newspaper believes that this data was not confidential and related to things that she had already made public;
- Regarding "selective quotation", the Mail on Sunday claims that the extracts that were published fully convey the tone, content and meaning of the entire letter.
How will the Mail on Sunday defend itself?
According to official documents, the newspaper claims that members of the royal family, including the duchess, are the subject of "public coverage of their lives in order to maintain their privileged position."
According to the documents, the Duchess could not have expected the contents of the letter to be private and remain so.

“There is enormous and justifiable interest in the royal family and its activities, as well as in the behavior and lifestyle of its members,” the document says.
“This extends not only to their behavior in public, but also to their private lives and family relationships, because this is important for the smooth functioning of the monarchy.”
To argue that the Duchess's privacy had not been violated, the newspaper cited the fact that the letter to her father was written in Meghan's impeccably neat handwriting - such attention to detail, according to the publication, shows that the Duchess expected the letter to be seen and read by others People.
