In the same boat as King Charles: why Meghan Markle hasn't spoken to her father in 6 years and still hasn't introduced him to his grandchildren

American filmmaker Thomas Markle is sure that he will celebrate his 80th birthday without a greeting from his youngest daughter. After all, the Duchess of Sussex hasn't been in touch with her father for six years and hasn't introduced him to her grandchildren.

According to the Hollywood director, Meghan Markle broke off ties with him in 2018 when, due to two heart attacks, he was unable to walk the monarch down the aisle at her wedding to Prince Harry. The man noted that he feels "in the same boat" as King Charles III as they have similar health and family problems, the Daily Mail reports.

Thomas Markle said that his daughter's decision to stop communicating was a real surprise to him, "I could never have imagined that Meghan would turn against me at this point in her life. I thought she would always be by my side."

The Duchess of Sussex was angry with her father when he appeared in several paparazzi photos before her wedding.

"I was completely alone and being followed. The photographer approached my daughter Samantha and convinced her that the photos would improve my image. It was a mistake, and I have apologized for it many times," the Hollywood director explained.

Since the grand wedding, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have never met Thomas Markle or introduced him to their grandchildren. According to the 79-year-old man, such actions will have a bad impact on the children's future because they do not know their grandfathers, even King Charles.

"The decisions made by Meghan and Harry will affect the lives of their children. I wonder how Archie and Lilibeth will feel in a few years when they realize all they have missed. They have two grandfathers who want to see them, one of whom is the King of England. In my 80 years, I never thought that I would be in the same boat as the king," the director said.
