Meghan ‘will not let family back into her life to protect Archie
Meghan ‘won’t let her family back into her life in order to protect baby Archie’ as she turns to father-in-law Charles for support instead, sources claim
- Meghan, 37, ‘wants to surround Archie with positive influences only’ sources say
- She has believed to have grown closer to Charles amid tensions with father, 74
- Mother Doria Ragland, 62, will be involved in baby Archie’s upbringing however
The Duchess of Sussex is refusing to let her family back into her life in order to protect her newborn son, sources have claimed.
Meghan, 37, has not spoken to her father Thomas Markle, 74, since before her wedding and has repeatedly ignored pleas for reconciliation from her half-sister Samantha, 54.
Mr Markle recently used a mutual connection to reach out to his daughter but she did not respond, claiming she had been ‘betrayed’, reports the Mirror.
She is believed to be growing increasingly closer to her father-in-law Prince Charles, 70, as she and Harry, 34, prepare for baby Archie’s christening on Saturday.

A source close to the couple told the newspaper: ‘Meghan’s overriding view is that there is no place for her father or his extended family in her life right now.
‘She has a strong family unit around her in Harry, with their adorable newborn son, and he has been very, very clear that she only wants positive influences for Archie.’
They added there was ‘zero chance of reconciliation’ and while she doesn’t see Charles as a replacement for her father, he does act as a ‘father figure’ and she believes he is ‘principled man’.
Charles stepped in to walk Meghan down the aisle at Windsor Castle last May after her father suffered heart problems.
He was previously pictured in staged paparazzi shots and has made several unsuccessful attempts to get Meghan to forgive him and let her back into his life.

While Thomas Markle has been seemingly cut out of Meghan’s life, her mother Doria (pictured with her the day before her wedding last year) remains a huge influence on her and baby Archie
Her mother Doria Ragland, 62, was at the wedding and travelled to Britain for her grandson’s birth.
She is set to have a considerable influence on the baby royal’s upbringing.
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, will be christened in Windsor this weekend in the chapel where his parents were married and his father was baptised.
Wearing a replica of the vintage lace gown in which his father was christened, young Archie will be welcomed into his faith in St George’s Chapel in Windsor as Harry was in 1984.
A row broke out over the couple’s expenses bill for renovations at their new Windsor home Frogmore cottage when it emerged £2.4million of taxpayers’ money was spent on the improvements.
Later, when the couple announced Archie’s christening will be a ‘private ceremony’, critics slammed them for trying to have it ‘both ways’.
MailOnline has contacted a Palace spokesman for comment.
