Thomas Markle has culminated in revenge against his daughter, Meghan Markle, in the film Thomas Markle: My Story in which he leaves no subject undone.
While she does not stop asking the British media for more privacy, something that was key in her resignation, her father has sided with them to portray what his life was like before joining the "rigid" British royal family.
For the 90-minute film broadcast, the father of the former American actress has shared never-before-seen videos and images of Meghan's life. From newborn images, her high school graduation and Christmas scenes, to posing with Doria Ragland, her mother.
Since she married Prince Harry, Meghan has had no respite from her father even when she was pregnant, and it has been one of the main reasons why the Duchess has been chaining a controversy with another for months.
The former director of lighting in audiovisual productions has also spoken about her feelings about the Duchess's attitude after meeting Prince Harry, she says that she changed and stopped wanting to see him. In the film he has accused Harry, whom she has never met in person, of acting like a "sensitive" 12-year-old.
Without feeling guilty, Thomas Markle has defended his decision to speak in the film and to receive payment for the interview he has given. "I don't mind. At this point, they owe me. The royal family owes me. Harry owes me, and Meghan owes me. For what I've been through I should be rewarded. My daughter told me that when she reaches my senior year she will take care of me. Now I'm in my senior year, it's time to take care of Dad."
The couple is pending a lawsuit against the publisher of Mail On Sunday after the publication of a private letter from Meghan to her father, which he leaked. Some British media are already speculating that Thomas Markle could be called to testify at the trial, of course, not for the duchess's defense.
Thomas believes he is a defender of the British crown when he says that Meghan and Harry "are destroying it, they are turning it into Walmart – about a well-known low-cost supermarket chain -". "Every young woman wants to become a princess and she achieved it and now she is throwing it away and it seems that she is doing it for money", has been another of Thomas's darts at his daughter.
The end of the good relationship between Meghan and her father was public knowledge on the day of the wedding in the Windsor Castle chapel. Days after being caught faking photographs to sell them to the media, he did not take Meghan down the aisle as planned, alluding to a heart problem, from which he recovered to give multiple interviews to the press in which he portrayed himself as a victim of Meghan's snobbery, and to which this is now added.
