Meghan Markle’s ailing dad says he refuses ‘to be buried by her’

Meghan Markle’s ailing dad says he refuses ‘to be buried by her’ in likely ‘final ever’ interview

Meghan Markle’s ailing, long-estranged dad has said he refuses “to be buried” by his exiled-royal daughter after she repeatedly talked about how she already mourned him.

Struggling to speak after a debilitating stroke, Thomas Markle, 78, begged his daughter to reconnect — and finally allow him to see his royal grandkids, Princess Lilibet, 1, and Prince Archie, who turns 4 on Saturday, the day his other grandfather, King Charles III, is coronated.

Markle was asked by 7News Spotlight in a segment that aired Sunday about his daughter telling her Netflix docuseries that she “lost my dad” — and Prince Harry writing in his memoir, “Spare,” that Meghan “was mourning the loss of her father.”

“She killed me and then mourned me,” the ailing dad told the Australian news show in what he said was likely his “final ever” interview.

“I refuse to be buried by her.”

Thomas Markle shared touching videos of him with his daughter as proof that “she loved” her dad, who was “her hero” — before “suddenly I was thrown out.”

“I wish that we could sit down and talk,” he said, while conceding it is unlikely given that his daughter did not make any contact even after his stroke a year ago.

“If she doesn’t turn up for a stroke, if that doesn’t move her, what would?” asked the dad, who walks with a cane.

Thomas Markle said he has not heard from his daughter since she wrote a “so hateful and so cruel” letter to him more than four years ago, which he called “pretty much a kiss-off.”

In his memoir, Harry, 38, maintained that “there is nothing in that letter to be ashamed about,” while ripping the father-in-law he has never met for sharing parts of it with the press.

However, Thomas Markle insisted: “There are other things in that letter that are so hateful and so cruel, that I wouldn’t put it out.

“And that’s more protecting her than myself,” he said, claiming he’d “burn it before I sell it” despite being offered big money.

Meghan’s half-siblings, Samantha Markle and Thomas Markle Jr., also said they were offended by the estranged royal claiming she was an only child whose big “wish” was to have “had siblings.”

Samantha claimed that Meghan denied their existence because she didn’t think they were good enough for her new life.

Thomas Markle, meanwhile, said his goal is just to “sit down and talk” with his daughter, son-in-law and grandkids.

“It’s just very sad from a father’s perspective. It’s a huge disappointment and it’s sad every day,” he said of their estrangement.

“Meg I love you — I love my grandchildren. I’d love to see them,” he said, noting that the young prince and princess are “gonna have my nose, they’re gonna have my eyes.”

He called Harry a “nice guy,” telling him: “I love you for marrying my daughter.”

“I’m open to any kind of conversation,” he said in a final message to his daughter, smiling as he said, “Thank you.”
