Royal Revelations Thomas' BABY Bombshell

While trying to set the record straight, Meghan’s dad blindsides the palace with an interview.

It was meant to be a way of doing damage control and making up for previous faux pas like those staged paparazzi shots. But Thomas Markle’s decision to talk about his daughter Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in a British TV interview has led to him copping even more flak.

He’s been criticised for not respecting his daughter’s privacy and for continuing to cash in on her new role, and royal experts believe the Queen will not be amused that Thomas revealed personal details about Prince Harry’s political beliefs.

Thomas (73) gave an exclusive interview to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on the TV show Good Morning Britain to set the record straight about why he missed Meghan’s wedding, and also why he collaborated with a paparazzi photographer. During the interview, he talked about the heart attack he suffered in the days before the wedding and also explained that he’d arranged for the fake paparazzi pictures to be taken because he wanted to be seen in a more positive light. However, he also managed to reveal that Meghan (36) longs to have a baby, and shared Harry’s views on Brexit and US president Donald Trump.

Critics say the interview was a mistake, and that he should remain tight-lipped when it comes to personal details about Meghan and Harry’s relationship, as well as their political leanings. Harry’s biographer Angela Levin was horrified to hear Thomas recounting the conversation about politics.

Thomas said the prince – who he has never met – told him he was “open to the experiment” of Brexit. They also chatted about Donald Trump and when Thomas complained about the new president, Harry (33) told him, “Give him a chance.”

“I would say he’s probably changed his mind now – I hope he has,” added Thomas.
