<p>Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, doesn't have an "active relationship" with her father, Thomas Markle, any more.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 38-year-old royal has been publicly blasted by her father on several occasions, and sources close to the former actress - who is married to Prince Harry - have now said she won't be letting Thomas back into her life, and doesn't want him to meet her three-month-old son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.</p>

<p>An insider told The Sun newspaper: "It's a terribly sad situation, but Meghan has made the very difficult decision that she doesn't have an active relationship with her father any more. This was actually a decision she made some time ago, and it is something she's now coming to terms with.” </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The source continued: "It's obviously heartbreaking for her, but she has to protect herself, her husband and her son. Thomas hasn't met Harry, and it's unlikely he'll meet Archie either."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Meghan's decision comes after Thomas - who hasn't seen his daughter since before she married 34-year-old Harry in May 2018 - recently said he hoped that motherhood would have "mellowed" the former <strong>Suits</strong> star and she'd have ended their estrangement so he could develop a relationship with his grandchild.</p>
