Meghan Markle made history not only as an actress but as the first African-American woman to marry into the British royal family. In Royal Watch season 3 episode 16, titled "Meghan Wrote Her Dad a Letter After the Royal Wedding," viewers are given an inside look at the aftermath of the highly publicized Royal Wedding.

The episode begins with the excitement of the Royal Wedding still in the air. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have just said their vows in front of millions of people around the world, and the new Duchess of Sussex is still beaming with joy. However, while Meghan's wedding day was filled with love and warmth from the royal family, it was not the case with her own family.

Meghan's relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, had been tumultuous leading up to the wedding. In the weeks prior, Thomas was caught colluding with paparazzi in staged photos, and it was revealed that he would not be attending the wedding due to health concerns. However, he went back and forth on his decision and eventually made public statements about his daughter, such as revealing personal conversations they had had, that left Meghan feeling betrayed.

In the episode, it is revealed that Meghan wrote her father a heartfelt, emotional letter in the aftermath of the wedding. The letter, which Thomas later released to the media, was a plea from Meghan for her father to stop speaking to the press and to work on their relationship privately. The letter also revealed Meghan's pain and hurt at her father's actions and expressed her hope that they could mend their relationship.

The episode then delves into the fallout from the letter. Meghan's half-sister, Samantha Markle, went on a media tour in defense of their father, claiming that Meghan's letter was "fake" and that Thomas had been painted in a negative light. The media, as well as members of the public, were divided on the matter, with some sympathizing with Meghan and others siding with Thomas.

The episode shows how Meghan handled the situation with poise and grace, continuing to focus on her royal duties despite the drama. However, it also highlights the toll that the situation took on her. Meghan was forced to deal with the fallout of her father's actions on top of the intense media scrutiny that comes with being a member of the royal family.

Ultimately, the episode ends on a positive note. Meghan and Harry's first official royal tour to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga is announced, showcasing the couple's commitment to their roles within the royal family. It also hints at a hopeful resolution to Meghan's family drama, with the possibility of a reunion between Meghan and her father during the tour.
