Meghan Markle’s estranged dad Thomas says she’s denying Archie, Lilibet their ‘birthright’: ‘Very sad’
NY Post
Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., said he’s “saddened” that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are being “denied” a royal lifestyle.
The retired TV lighting director, 79, has been expressing interest in meeting his two grandchildren ahead of his 80th birthday — but his pleas have so far been met with complete silence from the Sussex camp.
His desperation kicked into high gear after last month’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, to which the “Suits” alum and her husband, Prince Harry, did not receive an invitation.
After watching the annual event, Thomas Sr. said his grandkids are being denied their “birthright.”
“It struck me as very sad that Meghan and Harry’s kids are being denied the right to know their cousins, who look like fantastic children, or take part in things like Trooping the Colour, which is their birthright,” he told New Zealand Woman’s Weekly.
“They are getting to the age where they will start to ask questions, as all kids do. I find myself wondering how Archie and Lilbet will feel in a few years’ time when they realize all the things they have missed out on.”
