“Transformaron la familia real en un Walmart con corona”. Con esta declaración, Thomas Markle, padre de Meghan Markle, criticó duramente a su hija y a su esposo, el Príncipe Harry, tras renunciar a los títulos nobiliarios de la familia real.

“Ella y Harry están convirtiendo a la familia Real en un Walmart con una corona, me avergüenzan (…). Esa no es la chica que yo crié”, comentó a la estación televisiva Channel 5, que prepara un documental sobre el “Megxit”.

“Cuando se casaron, asumieron una obligación, y la obligación es ser parte de la realeza y representar a la realeza. Y sería una tontería que no lo hicieran”, agregó Thomas, quien desde el inicio de la relación ha causado polémica por los dichos sobre su hija.

“Esta es una de las instituciones más antiguas. La están destruyendo, la están abaratando, la están desgastando… No deberían estar haciendo esto”, afirmó en el mismo adelanto de Thomas Markle: Mi Historia, documental que explora su relación padre-hija.

“Todas las jóvenes quieren convertirse en princesas y ella lo consiguió, y ahora está tirando eso… Parece que lo está tirando por dinero”, señaló, e incluso fue más allá: “Aparentemente 3 millones de dólares y una casa de 26 habitaciones no es suficiente para ellos… Es algo embarazoso para mí”.

Sobre una eventual reconciliación con Meghan, Thomas se mostró escéptico. “No me imagino que me vaya a buscar, menos con lo que estoy diciendo ahora (…). Ambos se están convirtiendo en almas perdidas en este momento. No sé qué es lo que están buscando. No creo que sepan”, señaló sobre la pareja.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

As we continue to reflect on some of the organisations supported by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, today we wanted to share more about @TheMayhew, an animal welfare charity which The Duchess became Patron of earlier this year. Mayhew believes in the power of community and the special bond between humans and animals, which is why their programming does not simply focus on rescuing animals but rather takes a more holistic approach to shaping the lives of pets and humans, alike. Their TheraPaws dogs and volunteers now visit not just care homes and hospitals, but also mental health facilities and youth groups – expanding the benefits of animal assisted therapy into much needed areas. They also work with the homeless community assisting with treatments and check ups for their pets so that the most vulnerable can trust that their pet will remain by their side. This year, Mayhew has continued its specialized work overseas, vaccinating more than 30,000 dogs against rabies and other diseases, and empowering locals to improve animal welfare humanely and sustainably. The Duchess is also proud that they are creating opportunities for women, with the female led vet team in Kabul neutering 2,500 dogs so far this year. As a long-time rescue dog owner, The Duchess of Sussex is proud to be Mayhew’s Patron and applauds them for the vital work that they do every day. Please visit @TheMayhew to learn more, as Mayhew continue their very important contribution to the community for all of us and the pets we hold dear. Photo © PA / Ivan Flores / Tamara Yoxall
