Meghan Markle Criticizes Daily Mail for Reporting from Father's Hospital Bed
Meghan Markle, who is married to Prince Harry, recently sent a letter to her father, Thomas Markle, who is in the hospital in the Philippines.
She had a hard time contacting him because a reporter from the Daily Mail newspaper was there the whole time.
Meghan said the reporter was breaking the rules by reporting everything that happened.
But the Daily Mail said their reporter is actually a friend of Thomas Markle and was there to help him.
Meghan and her father haven't talked much in the past few years.
Prince Harry is also going to court soon to sue the Daily Mail for some other things.
Meghan Markle sent a letter to her hospitalized father, Thomas Markle, in the Philippines, despite the Daily Mail's presence at his bedside.
Meghan's spokesperson criticized the Daily Mail for breaching ethical boundaries by reporting from her father's hospital bedside, making private contact difficult.
The Daily Mail denied the accusations, stating their reporter is a friend of Thomas Markle and was there to provide care and support at his request.
Meghan and her father have been estranged since 2018, with Thomas Markle moving from Mexico to the Philippines earlier this year.
Prince Harry is set to start a privacy lawsuit against the Daily Mail's publisher, along with six others, including Elton John, alleging unlawful information gathering dating back 30 years.
