Royally Ticked Off! - Why Thomas Hung Up On Harry

The Duchess’ Dad Delivers Another Stinging Rant.

- Judy Kean

If Meghan, Duchess of Sussex was hoping that her dad’s New Year’s resolution was to stop mouthing off about her and her in-laws, she must be sadly disappointed.

Thomas Markle has kicked off 2019 with yet another rant about his estrangement from his pregnant daughter, promising that until Meghan and her husband Prince Harry stop ignoring him, he won’t shut up about their treatment of him.

“I’ll keep talking and I’ll probably get louder,” he told The Sun newspaper. “I only speak because of the deadly silence from Meghan and the royals. No-one was standing up for my family – so I had to. I’ve been quiet long enough.”

The former TV lighting director, now retired and living in Mexico, is unhappy Meghan (37) and Harry (34) haven’t been in touch with him since shortly after their wedding and won’t return his phone calls or messages.

“If they ever want to speak to me, maybe I’ll quieten down a little bit. But in the meantime, I’m not going to become a monk in a monastery and take a vow of silence.

“The bottom line is that I’ve done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. I cannot cut my tongue out and never speak again. I can’t shut up because they have opened the door for a million people to criticise me and my family.”
