'Meghan Markle will still be a waitress if not for her father': Half-sister Samantha Markle

Duchess of Sussex- Meghan Markle might have received a plethora of birthday wishes as she turned a year older on Wednesday but what caused a buzz on the internet were the unexpected greetings from the British Royal Family and her father Thomas Markle, amid an ongoing family dispute. 
 
Meghan received a bouquet of roses as a birthday gift from her father, but according to Thomas-it doesn`t seem to be melting their icy relationship. 
 
Thomas told TMZ that he sent Meghan flowers for her 40th birthday, along with a personalized card that simply said, "Wishing you a happy birthday and brighter days."He told that the bouquet featured a dozen red roses with 2 yellow roses in the middle, signifying Meghan and Prince Harry`s two children- Archie and newborn Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. 
 
The grandfather of two said he wanted to "incorporate his grandchildren", Archie and Lilibet, in Meghan`s birthday flower arrangement, adding that he wants "to be a part of their lives" because it seems to him "the kids don`t have enough family around them in Montecito."Thomas and Meghan share an icy relationship that turned testier after Meghan and Harry`s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March. 
 
Thomas further shared that he didn`t hear any reply from Meghan after he sent the gift, but he said that is fine and he is just hoping she likes the flowers. 
 
On a related note, despite reports of family tension, the royal members extended heartfelt birthday wishes to mark Meghan`s special day on Wednesday. The royal members including Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, Camilla, and Queen Elizabeth II took to their official Twitter handles, to share mesmerising pictures of the duchess and sent their best wishes on her big day.

Meghan Markle's father accuses daughter of 'destroying', 'cheapening' royal family

Meghan Markle`s father directly appealed to Britain`s Queen Elizabeth on Monday to intercede and end his estrangement from his daughter, the wife of Prince Harry. 
 
Former U.S. actress Meghan, now the Duchess of Sussex, married Harry, the queen`s grandson and sixth-in-line to the throne, in a glittering ceremony at Windsor Castle in May. 
 
But the immediate build-up to the wedding was overshadowed by her father, Thomas, a former lighting director for U.S. TV soaps and sitcoms, who pulled out days beforehand after undergoing heart surgery. 
 
Meghan`s father said he had not had contact with his daughter for months and repeated text messages to Meghan had gone unanswered. 
 
When asked what message he had for Queen Elizabeth, 92, Thomas Markle said: "I would appreciate anything she can do and I would think that she would want to resolve the family problems." 
 
"All families, royal or otherwise, are the same and they should all be together certainly around the holidays," Markle added. 
 
Markle said that Meghan, 37, had not sent him a Christmas card but that he was hopeful that they could at some time build their relationship. 
 
"Please reach out to me," he said of Meghan. "I love my daughter very much and she has to know that... Just send me a text." 
 
"All I can say is that I`m here she knows it and I`ve reached out to her and I need her to reach back to me. I love her very much," Markle said. "This can`t continue forever."

Harry, 34, and Meghan are expecting their first child in the spring of 2019. 
 
"I am certainly hoping that everything goes well and that they produce a beautiful baby and I`ll get to see a little Meghan or a little Harry - that would be very nice and I look forward to that happening," Markle said. 
 
"I think she`ll make a great Mom." 
 
Markle dismissed reports that Meghan could at times be rude. She was, he said, very polite as she had been raised on Hollywood stages. 
 
When asked if she was a social climber, her father said: "She`s always been a very controlling person and that`s part of her nature but she has never been rude." 
 
Kensington Palace did not immediately comment on the interview.

Prince Charles to walk Meghan Markle down the aisle

Will he? Won't he? &nbsp;As millions wait eagerly for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to walk down the aisle on Saturday, their wedding has been marred by confusion as on Tuesday Markle father told a celebrity news father he was no longer attending the royal wedding.&nbsp; 
 
Harry, 33, Queen Elizabeth`s grandson and the sixth-in-line to the British throne, and Markle, 36, will marry on Saturday at St George`s Chapel in Windsor Castle in a ceremony that has sparked huge global media interest. 
Markle`s father Thomas, 73, was due to walk his daughter down the aisle in front of 600 guests including all the senior Britain`s royals and a smattering of celebrities. 
 
However, the TMZ website reported on Monday that he had decided not to attend the glittering wedding at the castle, the home of English and British monarchs for almost 1,000 years. 
 
He told TMZ he did not want to embarrass his daughter or the royal family after reports he had staged pictures with a paparazzi photographer for a fee. He also said he had suffered a heart attack a week ago. 
"This is a deeply personal moment for Ms Markle in the days before her wedding," Kensington Palace, Harry`s office, said in a statement. "She and Prince Harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to Mr Markle in this difficult situation." 
 
A spokeswoman for the prince declined to comment directly on the TMZ report or to say whether the statement meant Markle`s father would be at the wedding.&nbsp; 
 
The bride-to-be`s parents are divorced and while Harry has been pictured with her mother Doria Ragland, 61, there had been speculation about how Thomas Markle, a former lighting director for TV soaps and sitcoms, would feature. 
 
However, Harry`s communications secretary told reporters last week he would have an important role and would give away his daughter on the couple`s big day. He had also been expected to meet the queen, her husband and the other senior members of the Windsor family this week. 
 
Thousands of journalists from across the world are descending on the genteel town of Windsor for the wedding, and Thomas Markle told TMZ that the media attention had taken its toll. He said he had been offered up to $100,000 for interviews and been ambushed by paparazzi whose snaps had shown him buying beer and looking dishevelled. 
 
TMZ said he had agreed to the staged pictures, which showed him looking at images of the couple on a computer and being sized up for a suit, because he hoped they would improve his image.&nbsp; 
 
Prince Harry and his elder brother Prince William have both made clear in the past their dislike of the press, fuelled by the death of their mother Princess Diana in a Paris car crash in 1997 as her limousine sped away from chasing paparazzi. 
 
Kensington Palace has limited press access to the ceremony itself and strictly controlled the release of details about the wedding to the media. 
If her father does not come, British newspapers suggested that Markle`s mother, with whom she is spending the night before the ceremony at a nearby luxury hotel, would walk her daughter down the aisle.
