Meghan Markle’s estranged
father Thomas on Monday pleaded with his daughter to get in touch, saying the
rift caused by her marriage to Prince Harry “can’t continue forever”.
Markle told ITV’s Good
Morning Britain (GMB) that he was “hopeful something will be resolved,” adding
“this can’t continue forever.
“I don’t plan to be silent
for the rest of my life… I would really appreciate if she just called me,” he
said.
Markle revealed he had not
spoken to his daughter since they fell out in the buildup to her wedding to
Prince Harry last May.
The 74-year-old missed the
event due to heart surgery, amid a furore after he was found to have received
payment for staged paparazzi photographs.
He ended up watching the
wedding from California, with Prince Charles taking his place and walking
Meghan down the aisle.
The couple are expecting
their first child next year, and soon-to-be-grandfather Markle said he was
“hoping that everything goes well and I get to see a little Meghan or Harry.
“There has to be a place
for me, I’m her father,” he added.
Meghan, the Duchess of
Sussex, has faced a barrage of negative headlines in recent weeks over her
relationship with royal staff.
Her father ran to her
defence, telling GMB that “she’s always been very controlling, but she’s never
been rude… she’s always been polite.”
