'No one wants to see this continue,' says a source about family drama surrounding the Duchess of Sussex.

AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle's dad Thomas Markle continues giving paid interviews against Meghan and Prince Harry's will. Now, it's reported that the Palace is considering an "aggresive strategy" to deal with the retired lighting director.
"The Palace, who normally takes a firm policy of not commenting on personal matters, is now considering a more aggressive strategy to deal with the situation with both her father and her sister," says a source. "No one wants to see this continue."
Thomas' actions reportedly left his daughter upset. "She has gone through periods of difficulty with her father in the past, but she does love him," the sources says of the Duchess of Sussex. "That's what's been so difficult about this."
Thomas is not the only one who's giving Meghan and the royal family a headache lately. The 37-year-old brunnette's half-sister Samantha has also been attacking Meghan in interviews and social media. However, the report suggests that Kensington Palace is "less concerned" about Samantha than Thomas "because she has never had a real relationship with Meghan."
"She has not spoken to her father in more than 10 weeks since her wedding and is still hurt by her father, who has both staged the photos and continues to give paid interviews," the source notes. "The Palace is at a loss of what to do and is re-evaluating options, including a more aggressive strategy to stem the embarrassment caused by Meghan's dad, half-sister and half-brother."
Just recently, Thomas revealed that he "hung up" on Prince Harry during a heated phone call about his staged paparazzi photos ahead of his daughter's royal wedding. Harry asked him if he had cooperated with the photographer. The former TV lighting director, however, lied to Harry and denied it. He told Harry that he "was being measured for a hoodie."
The prince allegedly called Thomas again, as the latter was recovering from a heart attack at that time. "If you had listened to me this would never have happened," Harry reportedly said to Thomas, to which he responded, "Maybe it would be better for you guys if I was dead... then you could pretend to be sad." He added, "Then I hung up."
