Breaking News: Meghan Markle’s dad claims he is in ‘same boat’ as King for one reason…. See More

Meghan Markle has a strained relationship with her father, Thomas Markle.

Meghan Markle’s dad has claimed he is in the “same boat” as the King when it comes to one relationship in their lives.

Thomas Markle, 80 , is believed to have not seen his daughter Meghan, 43, since before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, 40, after he was caught staging paparazzi photographs at the time.

This move is believed to have fractured their father-and-daughter relationship, which was later worsened after extracts of a letter from Meghan to Thomas were also leaked in the press.

Despite the fact Meghan is now no longer a senior working royal after quitting in 2020 along with her husband Harry, this has not changed the relationship with her father, despite the fact she now lives much closer to him.

Thomas told the Daily Mail before his 80th birthday in July last year that he would love to hear from his daughter and see his grandchildren Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, who he has never met.

He said that he is in the “same boat as the King” on this matter, as it is believed the 76-year-old monarch also has a limited relationship with the children, having only seen them very few times.
