Will Meghan Markle Reunite With Estranged Dad In The US? Experts Weigh In

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are embarking on a six-week trip to the United States next month. The royal couple will be joined by their 5-month-old son, Archie.

While in the United States, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to spend time with Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, in California. Royal experts are also wondering if the upcoming trip could finally see a reunion between the “Suits” alum and her estranged father, Thomas Markle, Sr.

During a recent discussion on ITV’s “Lorraine,” royal expert Dan Wooton said that a reunion between the two Markles is indeed possible. The former lighting director, currently, lives in Mexico. However, Wooton said that it wouldn’t be a very long trip for him to drive up to where his daughter will be staying.

Talk show host Lorrain Kelly said that a Meghan and Thomas reunion may be a bad idea. After all, it may just open old wounds that they both want to forget for good.

Since Meghan and Prince Harry will be staying in the U.S. to free themselves off of the stresses back home in London, meeting up with her estranged father should be out of the cards. There are also some rumors suggesting that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may stay in America beyond six months.

“What I have learned is that after six weeks in California they are considering a potential part-time move there,” Wooton said. “We could be looking at a situation where they might spend great swathes of the year in the US,” he added.

But, as of late, nothing has been cast in stone just yet. In the past, there were also claims suggesting that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may relocate to South Africa since the continent is very close to their hearts.

However, during their recent interview on ITV’s “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey,” Prince Harry said that, as much as they love South Africa, permanently residing there may not be beneficial at the moment. Also, during Meghan’s recent outing, she was photographed in a recycled purple dress that conveyed the message she isn’t going anywhere. This suggests that she and Prince Harry’s trip to the U.S. will only be temporary.
