Meghan Markle's father considers that his situations with his children are very similar.
At this point, Meghan Markle's father has no hope of one day being welcomed into the circles of the British royal family because his own daughter has become persona non grata within the palace.
Still, the retired lighting director insists he would "love" to speak to King Charles, as he imagines the monarch also wonders why he has so little contact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved to California after resigning. to their obligations as royals four years ago.
A few weeks ago it was rumored that Charles was deeply disappointed in maintaining such a close relationship with his grandchildren, Prince Archie, five years old, and Princess Lilibet, two years old, and the other grandfather of the little ones considers their situation to be comparable because neither of the two "deserves" to be treated "so badly" by the couple.
Thomas, who has not had contact with Meghan since before she married Prince Harry in 2018, gave a new interview to MailOnline, despite his daughter pleading with him to stop granting exclusives in a letter sent to him before his wedding, and which he gave to the press.
"I would love to talk to him because I'm sure he has as many unanswered questions as I do. Neither of us deserve the treatment we've received," he says.
"He is undergoing cancer treatment and I am not at my best. I am not afraid of dying. It is what it is. I have so many questions that I would like to ask Meghan and Harry. The main one, why have they treated me so badly not only to me, but to the royal family and the king."
Thomas was especially saddened when he saw photos from last weekend's Trooping The Color celebrations because Archie and Lilibet "are being denied" the opportunity to meet their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis, Harry's brother's children. , Prince William.
"It makes me sad that Lilibet and Archie won't have the opportunity to meet their cousins and take part in things like Trooping The Colour, which is their birthright. They are getting to an age where they start asking questions, like all children. At some point it is inevitable that they will ask their parents why they have isolated them from both sides of the family," he adds.
"They have two grandfathers who want to see them, one of whom is the king of England. Never in my 80 years did I think he would be in the same boat as the king."
Meghan's father wonders how Archie and Lilibet will feel in a few years, when they realize everything they have lost because of their parents' decisions. Thomas, for his part, will turn 80 next month and, although he will spend the day with his son Thomas Jr. and talk on the phone with his eldest daughter Samantha, he does not expect to hear from his estranged daughter or her family. he.
"I don't expect to hear from Meghan and Harry. I wish we could have resolved this situation. I was always ready and willing to do that."
