Royal expert says Thomas Markle is using author Tom Bower's book against Meghan Markle.
Roya Nikkha believes Duchess' estranged father treats Mr Bower's book as a 'platform' to 'reinstate'
Ms Nikkha said: "I think Thomas has used the book as a kind of platform to try and re-establish his side of the narrative."
She added: "Thomas Markle's perspective about Meghan's upbringing [and] the time she spent with her father gives you a lot of sense.
Ms Nikkha continued: "The relationship that is now portrayed as very close is the relationship between Meghan and her mother.
"[But] really for the great part of her childhood and adolescence, she was living with her father".
She said it was because Meghan's mother, Doria, "wasn't that much."
Meanwhile, royal expert Omid Scobie claims the relationship between Meghan and her father has 'really ended'.
