Six biggest bombshells from Thomas Markle as he issues desperate plea to Meghan Markle

Thomas Markle Snr has been estranged form his daughter Meghan Markle for the last six years and he’s now issued her a desperate plea to end the bitter feud

Thomas Markle Snr has pleaded with Meghan Markle to end their feud and give him the chance to meet his grandchildren.

The pair have been estranged for six years following a massive fallout before Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry. Thomas was caught staging paparazzi photos before the big day, leaving Meghan devastated.

As Thomas is getting ready to celebrate his 80th birthday next month, he’s now sat down for a new interview and opened up about his relationship with his daughter. Here, we’ve taken a look at some of the biggest bombshells from the chat.

Thomas will be celebrating his 80th birthday on July 18, but admitted he doesn’t expect to hear from Meghan. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he’s now begged his daughter to end their feud in time for his special day.

If the pair can’t put aside their differences, Thomas said he would like to finally meet Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, or at the very least have a picture of them. He said: “I’ve never been one for birthdays, but I know the one person I most want to hear from, Meghan, won’t be in touch.”

Thomas has never met his grandchildren as they were both born after his fallout with Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex gave birth to Archie on May 6 2019, before welcoming Lilibet on June 4 2021.

Archie and Lilibet have made very few trips to the UK and don’t have a close relationship with members of the Royal Family. Thomas said he finds it “very said” that the youngsters are “being denied the right to know their cousins”.

He said they should be given the chance to develop that “special” bond. He also said Archie and Lilibet should be given the opportunity to take part in Royal events such as Trooping the Colour, something he described as their “birth right”.

Thomas also warned the youngsters will soon start asking Meghan and Harry questions about their family. He explained: “It’s inevitable that they will ask their parents why they have cut them off from both sides of the family?”

Thomas said he feels as though he is “in the same boat” as King Charles, who is also estranged from the Sussexes. Meghan’s father expressed his “deep empathy” for the monarch as he said he would “love to speak to him”.

Thomas suggested Charles might have the same “unanswered questions” he does and said neither of them “deserves the treatment we’ve received”. The former film producer pointed out how the King is currently undergoing cancer treatment, which would be the perfect opportunity for a reunion.

In the interview, Thomas also admitted he didn’t expect to make it to 80 years old as he confessed “Markle men never do”. His own father, Gordon Markle, died aged 61.

Gordon worked as a printer at Olmsted Air Force Base outside the family’s hometown of Newport, Pennsylvania, while his mother Doris Markle ran the sweet counter at a budget store.

Despite not expecting to reach 80, Thomas admitted he isn’t afraid of dying. In a defiant statement, he told the Daily Mail: “It is what it is.”

With the drama surrounding Thomas in the build-up to Harry and Meghan’s wedding, the Duke of Sussex didn’t get to meet his father-in-law. The pair have remained estranged in the years since.

Thomas admitted he found it strange that Harry never offered to meet with him before marrying Meghan. He pointed out how the Duke had the “resources to fly around the world”, but didn’t fly to America to see Thomas.

Meghan has grown estranged from her father over the years and the last time they spoke was when he was in a hospital bed before her wedding. The pair stopped speaking after Thomas was caught staging paparazzi photos before Meghan and Harry’s wedding in 2018.

Thomas has opened up about the incident and admitted he made a “mistake”, but has since apologised “repeatedly”. Thomas explained: “Meghan was mad at me because I posed for some paparazzi pictures before the wedding. I was totally alone and being hounded.”
