AceShowbiz - Meghan Markle's dad Thomas Markle Sr. has been stirring up controversies even prior to his daughter's royal wedding to Prince Harry. Not stopping there, he appeared to throw shade at Queen Elizabeth II in an authorized interview with TMZ, and the royal family allegedly doesn't take it well.
Seemingly realizing the mess he's made, a source close to the 73-year-old claims that Thomas is begging Meghan to forgive and forget. "Thomas adores his daughter and swears he never wanted attention from the interviews," says the source to Us Weekly. "All he's ever cared about is protecting Meghan.” Adds the insider, “He wants the royals to stand by his side, but of course so far they haven't."
However, it may not be easy for Thomas to have his apology accepted since the Duchess of Sussex "hasn't spoken to Thomas since the day after her wedding," according to a palace insider. The insider adds that the entire royal family is “frustrated” that Markle Sr. continues to talk to the press. "Thomas is walking a fine line," another source warns. "This blabbing needs to stop if he wants to maintain any relationship with Harry and Meghan."
Thomas previously appeared on "Good Morning Britain" to talk about his absence during Meghan's nuptials due to heart surgery. "They were disappointed," the retired TV lighting director opened up, before adding his daughter "cried" when she knew he couldn't make it.
However, Meghan and the royal family felt they were being blindsided with the interview. "The proper thing to do would have been to let Meghan and Kensington Palace know he was giving an interview," a palace source says. "He already did damage before the wedding."
And recently, he slammed the Queen for meeting President Donald Trump before him. “If the queen is willing to meet our arrogant and insensitive president, she has no excuse not to meet me," he said on Tuesday, June 26 interview. "I'm nowhere near as bad," he said, adding that the royal family put him in a "penalty box" after "Good Morning Britain" appearance.
