Thomas Markle slams Harry and Meghan for being ‘cold’ towards him

A week after the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby girl, Thomas Markle has spoken out once again, claiming he only found out about it like the rest of the world, via the media.

Markle did an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, which aired on Sunday, June 13 2021. Harry and Meghan welcomed their daughter Lilibet “Lili” Diana on June 4 and are also parents to two-year-old Archie – Meghan’s father has never met both his grandchildren and said he last saw his own daughter two days before her wedding in May 2018.

Meghan and her father haven’t been on the best of terms since he was caught staging paparazzi photos not too long before she was set to marry Prince Harry. He was unable to attend the nuptials after suffering from a heart attack.

Markle admitted he had made a mistake, supposedly referring to the staged photos, but bemoaned Meghan and Harry for punishing him for it.

“There are axe murderers in prison and their family comes to see them. I’m not an axe murder. I made one dumb mistake and I’ve been punished for it. This show they’ve been on, they talk about compassion, there’s no compassion for me, no compassion for my family, and no compassion for the world.”

Markle lays into Oprah for the Harry and Meghan interview

Thomas Markle has further taken aim at talk show host Oprah Winfrey for the explosive interview she did with Harry and Meghan earlier in the year.

The tell-all is said to have caused a further rift between Harry and his brother. Markle has accused Winfrey of using his daughter and her husband for her own benefit.

“I think she is using them to build her network and build her new shows and I think she’s taken advantage of a very weakened man and has got him to say things that you just shouldn’t be saying on television,” he said.

“She will disagree of course, and she may even sue me, I don’t care. But the bottom line is she is working Harry.”
