00:00 Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, wants to meet his grandchildren before it's too
00:07 late, and he absolutely can't stand that Meghan Markle is stopping him from seeing
00:13 his grandchildren.
00:18 Despite being caught taking fake photos for money before Meghan and Prince Harry's wedding
00:23 and repeatedly criticizing the couple on TV, Thomas says that he has done nothing wrong.
00:35 In an interview on Good Morning Britain, this is what Thomas had to say.
00:47 In California, I can actually sue to see Archie and Lillibet, but I don't want to do that.
00:57 There's nothing that points to say I'm a bad guy.
01:01 Thomas also stressed that he is very loving as a father and Meghan in fact knows this,
01:08 and he firmly believes that there is no good reason for the way he's being treated by
01:19 Meghan.
01:20 Thomas, who divorced Meghan Markle's mom, Doria Ragland, back in 1987 after 7 years
01:26 of marriage, mentioned that he observed Meghan change completely as she got older.
01:32 He went on to say this in reference to the current drama between them now.
01:43 I never saw the kind of woman she turned into.
01:47 I'm shocked.
01:52 And then from there, Thomas added these comments.
01:57 I think she has an influence on Harry more than he does on her.
02:01 I'm always here for her.
02:02 I still love her.
02:03 I'll love her forever.
02:05 That will never change.
02:06 But I want her to reach out to me and let me see my grandkids.
02:12 Then, interestingly, Thomas Markle compared his situation with Meghan to King Charles
02:17 and his situation with Harry.
02:19 And this is what he had to say specifically.
02:21 King Charles has done nothing wrong too, and he has denied the kids as well as I am.
02:26 Thomas Markle had a stroke in 2022 and it was a very scary time.
02:32 He hasn't seen Meghan Markle in 5 years.
02:35 He wasn't there at the royal wedding, also because of this whole scandal with stage photos.
02:41 And on top of that, he leaked a private letter from Meghan to the press.
02:46 And Meghan is also not on good terms with her half-sister, Samantha Markle, who took
02:52 legal action against her for defamation in 2022.
02:56 Also in the media, suggested that she was the Cinderella that just rose up out of rubbish
03:00 or out of nowhere.
03:01 No, that is rubbish.
03:02 I don't know your middle name.
03:04 I don't know your birthday.
03:05 You're telling these people that you raised me and you've coined me Princess Pushy?
03:08 And when it comes to that Oprah interview that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did back
03:12 in 2021, Meghan referred to her father's involvement with the paparazzi as an unforgivable
03:18 betrayal.
03:19 At that time, Meghan also had this to say.
03:22 I look at Archie.
03:23 I think about this child, and I genuinely can't imagine doing anything to intentionally
03:28 cause pain to my child.
03:31 I can't imagine it.
03:32 It's so hard for me to reconcile that.
03:35 But I knew that if I didn't, that I would do it.
03:38 And I just didn't want to be alive anymore.
03:41 Thomas Markle also had said that he tried to fix their broken relationship multiple
03:46 times in the past, but nothing worked.
03:49 And he also mentioned sending Meghan Markle flowers for her birthday back in 2021, but
03:55 he didn't receive any response at all.
03:58 And this is such a tricky situation because here you have a father, Meghan Markle's
04:04 dad, also a grandfather, and he's getting older and getting more sick as the days go
04:09 by and he's not able to see his grandchildren.
04:12 Then again, on Meghan's side, it's like you sold her out pretty much.
04:18 Like Meghan, your own daughter, Thomas, like you sold her out to the tabloids and have
04:23 said a lot of things about her publicly and you're going to find fault with her for not
04:29 allowing you to see her grandchildren and not getting involved in her life.
04:34 I don't know.
04:35 It seems a little hypocritical there.
04:36 So guys, I want to know what you think about this.
04:39 Is Meghan Markle in the right for staying away from her father completely like this
04:44 after what he did to her?
04:46 Or should Meghan Markle forgive her father and kind of mend that family rift?
04:52 Maybe that's where it's going to go.
04:54 But as of right now, she does not want anything to do with Thomas Markle.
05:00 And no matter how much Thomas pleads, it's like, nope, the blinders are on, the ears
05:04 are plugged.
05:05 Meghan doesn't want to hear anything about it.
05:08 She doesn't want anything to do with him.
05:10 Really sad to see.
05:11 I like to see families work, but either way, guys, curious to know your thoughts.
05:15 Sound off down below.
05:16 Thanks for hanging out with me in another video.
05:18 I'll catch you guys in the next one.
