Ammon News - The Duchess of Sussex has accused the Daily Mail of breaching “clear ethical boundaries” by reporting from the bedside of her estranged father, following his claims he had not received his daughter’s messages.

Thomas Markle appealed to Meghan to see him in a Mail on Sunday interview at the weekend, after he underwent serious surgery in the Philippines.

However, a spokesperson for Meghan said she had been attempting to reach her father, and criticised the paper’s behaviour.

“Given that a Daily Mail reporter has remained at her father’s bedside throughout, broadcasting each interaction and breaching clear ethical boundaries, it has been exceedingly difficult for the duchess to contact her father privately, despite her efforts over the past several days,” the spokesperson said.

“With the support of reliable and trusted contacts, her correspondence is now safely in his hands.”

A spokesperson for DMG Media, the parent company of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, said Markle was a friend of the journalist that interviewed him, Caroline Graham, and denied unethical behaviour.

Meghan has been estranged from her father since 2018, when she married Prince Harry. Markle was supposed to walk Meghan down the aisle, but pulled out of the ceremony because of health problems.
