During his interview on “Good Morning Britain,” Thomas Markle shared his devastation over not having met Archie or Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor yet. He also accused Meghan Markle of being unnecessarily unkind by preventing a meeting from taking place. His take? Nothing he’d done was detrimental enough to warrant being so completely cut off from their lives — and that he’d always been a good father.
Thomas wasn’t only incensed at his own isolation, though. During the same interview, he criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for preventing Archie and Lilibet from having a relationship with King Charles as well. “This is a cruel thing to do to a grandparent. Not to just me, to the King of England as well,” he explained. It echoed a similar statement from 2022 when he responded to rumors that Prince Harry wouldn’t permit the late Queen Elizabeth II to meet Lilibet. “I think it’s the cruelest, meanest thing he can do,” he’d told GBNews. The rumors proved false, and the couple did introduce Lilibet to her great-grandmother. However, Thomas’ commentary undoubtedly added to the anxieties the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had about fostering a relationship between him and their children.

All that said, whether or not his attempts at meeting his grandchildren have been well-thought-out, it’s clear that Thomas feels his daughter and son-in-law are at fault. So much so, that he’s threatened to sue — twice.
