The Duchess of Sussex reportedly wants to distance herself from her estranged father following a series of explosive interviews.
A source in the US said: “Royal officials have met and discussed how to deal with him complaining that she has cut him off. They know it is a problem.
“Meghan loves Thomas and does want to maintain a relationship with him in the long run. But at the moment she feels he needs a bit of space.
“She also wants to take a bit of time out. She is adjusting to married life and her new role in the spotlight. Meghan is hopeful that things will get better but it will take time.
“There is no quick fix.”
However, the 74-year-old is reportedly okay with his daughter’s latest wishes.
Mr Markle told The Sun: “I don’t expect to see her or hear back from her and that’s OK.
“All I was doing was saying things I wanted to say.
“I now want to go on vacation somewhere and try to get some peace.”
This is a marked change from previous interviews where the ex-TV lighting director revealed he hung up on Prince Harry during an intense conversation.
Mr Markle told the Mail On Sunday that the hung up on the Duke of Sussex after being confronted about staging paparazzi photos for cash.
He said Prince Harry was “absolutely right” to challenge him but because he was so “rude” he slammed the phone down.
Mr Markle said: “Harry told me that I should never go to the press.
“That it would end in tears. He said, ‘They will eat you alive’. He was right.”
However, Mr Markle still gave a number of interviews and he was also caught out staging a series of pictures with the paparazzi that raked in £100,000.
Once the CCTV footage of the plot came out, Prince Harry furiously called Mr Markle.
The estranged father reportedly told Harry before hanging up: “Maybe it would be better for you guys if I was dead, then you could pretend to be sad.”
He told The Sun on Sunday that he felt “disrespected”.
Mr Markle said: “I was recovering from a heart attack, lying in a bed, having a phone call, and the things were being said that hurt me. I felt disrespected by them.
“I felt like I was being blamed for my mistakes when I was in my hospital bed recovering from a heart attack. I felt like I had to defend myself.”
“I just had surgery and I’m laying in a f***ing bed. This changed my attitude.
“I followed all this b****** protocol all year and it was the last f***ing thing I needed.
“My response was, ‘Would you rather have me dead so you can cry about it’?”
When the staged pictures scandal broke, Mr Markle says he suffered a heart attack and was admitted to hospital – despite being pictured lugging a six-pack of beers out of an off licence the day after.
He pulled out of his daughter’s Windsor wedding on May 19 leaving Prince Charles to walk her down the aisle at the eleventh hour.
