Yesterday, I tweeted about this Daily Mail story because I didn’t intend to write about it. I truly thought that at this point, we had all collectively decided to ignore Thomas Markle and his many toxic shenanigans. Turns out, people still want to talk about it, mostly in the context of “I can’t believe the Daily Mail is still running these kinds of stories.” They are. It seems that Toxic Tom decided to organize another “candid” photoshoot, just like he did before his daughter’s wedding, and just like he’s been doing this whole time. Thomas organized the photoshoot at Home Depot, where he wandered around the store alone, buying himself Father’s Day gifts this past Sunday. The Daily Mail wants to paint you a picture:
Thomas Markle Sr seemingly spent Father’s Day alone as his daughter Meghan celebrated husband Harry with a sweet snap of him and baby Archie. The Duchess of Sussex’s estranged father was spotted shopping at a Home Depot hardware store in Rosarito, Mexico, on Sunday without the company of any of his three children.
Meanwhile, Meghan enjoyed her first Father’s Day since welcoming baby Archie, sharing the adorable sepia-tone photo of the six-week-old in Harry’s arms. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is to be christened in Windsor next month. It remains unclear whether the baby’s maternal grandfather has been invited to the affair at the same chapel where Meghan and Harry wed last year without Thomas in attendance.
He purchased what appeared to be a Karcher pressure washer, some cleaning solution and a TV cable. The retired TV lighting director has three children, Thomas Markle Jr and Samantha Markle from his first marriage to Roslyn Loveless and Meghan from his second marriage to now ex-wife Doria Ragland.
Meghan’s estranged half-sister Samantha Markle spoke out last month about how devastated her father was when the first photos of his grandson emerged.
‘Being excluded is like a dagger through his heart,’ Samantha told The Mirror. She said she hopes motherhood helps ‘soften Meghan’s feelings’, so that Archie can get to know his grandfather.
Thomas has other children and grandchildren too. Funny how he didn’t spend Father’s Day with any of them, yet it doesn’t occur to anyone in the British press that maybe that’s a clue that HE is the problem, that no one in his family wants to deal with his sh-t and it’s not just Meghan. Anyway, spare me the “sad, lonely Home Depot photos.” He did it to himself.

Good riddance.
Nobody want to be with him.
Ugh he’s awful
My thoughts exactly, he has 2 other children and I think 5 other grandchildren that he could be spending time with. Interesting how the media never mentions that, just that it’s all Meghan’s fault that he’s alone.
This was my thought, too. Where is Psycho Sam, if she’s so concerned…he is HER father, too. And where are ANY of HER kids, or Jr’s kids?? Why do NONE of them have ANY kind of relationship with him, to be with him on Fathers’ Day? Why is Meghan the ONLY one required to do something with him? Screw the British press. I hope H&M keep them in the deep freeze. They don’t deserve anything better.
He was ghosted by his older two children. No one ever mentions that. He also ghosted his other grandkids (at least the three he bothered to meet) but no one mentions that.
Also spare me the “sad Home Depot pics” too. If he didn’t want to be papped, he could have stayed home. Who needs a pressure washer urgently on a Sunday? Oh wait, Thomas Markle does when he calls them come take his photo, but at the same time saying nothing to the media so he can stick with his “I’m being good and I’m still being punished because Meg is mean and uppity”
Boo hoo! He can’t take some of that pap money and get on a plane to see his other kids/ grandkids?
British media is really gunning for Meghan right now! So now they’re back to using Idiot Tom? Does that mean they’re desperate because nothing is sticking?
Get to know his grandfather? Please, Archie would be safer in a viper pit. That side of the family should remain estranged.
He’s a toxic clown
How very awful for malicious Markle to have spent Father’s Day alone! 🙄 Where are his beloved older children, screechy Sam and TM Jr?
The fact that his two older (awful) children don’t f@ck with him either is everything I need to know.
Imagine being his other children and they don’t even matter. Only whoever is the famous one.
No one wonder he’s alone. Even Samatha Markle can’t be bothered with her father unless she can rake in some money or press out of it.
I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s a total asshole and brought it on himself.
Thomas Markle wasn’t alone on Father’s Day, he was with a paparazzo.
Hoping they had a great shopping trip, then went home, threw some steaks on the barbie, had a couple of cold ones as the paparazzo gave T.Markle a hand made Father’s Day card.
It’s all about the family you choose/s.
People know that a REAL father would never sell their child out to the press or anyone for money and attention. That is exactly what Evil Papa Smurf did.
He got the Father’s Day he deserves.
Samantha needs to shut her bought-and-paid-for piehole.
I don’t feel an ounce of pity for Toxic Tom Sr. because this is what happens when you assign more value to money & attention over your own daughter. In the months leading up to Meghan’s wedding, Tom should have been there to provide her with love and emotional support as she prepared to take a monumental step in her life. Instead, he bleeted to the media and stuck his grubby hands out for riches. As others have noted, it speaks volumes that his remaining kids and grandchildren couldn’t have been bothered with celebrating him on Father’s Day. I hope that Meghan and Prince Harry continue their efforts to keep his narcissistic behind far and away from their child!
The Daily Mail ought to be ashamed of itself.
