Decades before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry abruptly announced to the world and their family members they were stepping back as senior royals, the Duchess of Sussex was known as a "daddy's girl" who was often seen alongside her now-estranged father Thomas Markle as he happily shuttled his "determined" daughter around to her daily activities.
Fox News spoke to a family friend of Meghan's this week, who recalled just what the young duchess was like as a pre-teen and later on in her years as a high school student at Immaculate Heart in Los Angeles, Calif
Meghan's parents, Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland, were divorced when she was in junior high. Meghan lived under the same roof as her dad during these formative years, the family friend said.
Despite their current estrangement, the family insider shared that Thomas and Meghan's relationship in the 1990s was nothing but loving and supportive on both sides.
"Meghan was a very happy, determined girl," the family friend said of Meghan as a young girl. "She was very close with her dad."
The family friend, who did not wish to be identified, spent years watching Meghan being picked up and dropped off at various locations by her father. Meghan's dad was viewed by other school parents as a consistent parent, the source said, making the father-daughter duo's current rift "sad" for many to see, said the source.
