Thomas Markle says he doesn’t want to have to sue Meghan, Harry to see grandkids

Thomas Markle said he could sue Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in order to see his grandkids.

The estranged dad, who is yet to meet his grandkids Archie, 2, and baby Lilibet, said the Duchess of Sussex was “childish” to cut him off.

He revealed “several lawyers” in California have told him he could win if he takes legal action.

But the frustrated parent today insisted he would wait before the drastic measures.

Speaking on “Good Morning Britain,” Thomas, 77, said: “I’d love to see my grandchildren.

“People have suggested in California I could sue to see my grandkids. But I think if I did that I’d be doing the same thing Meghan and Harry are doing.”

He explained: “I don’t want to include my grandchildren in this situation, I want to see my grandchildren with friendly parents and friendship all around.

“I don’t want hostile parents when seeing my grandchildren. So I’ll wait.”

Mr. Markle, who frequently hits out Meghan in the media, has not seen his daughter since before her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

But despite having heard “not a word” from the pair in years, he remains hopeful they can build bridges for the sake of the little ones.

He told Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid: “Eventually she’ll start talking to me. This is way too childish, this is kind of silly.

“It’s time to talk with each other, we’re family. The kids are going to grow up without knowing they have two families.

“This is more than just me and my daughter now — this is me, my daughter, her husband and two babies. So it’s time to do something. To talk.”

He went on to blame Harry for his bungled relationship with Meghan, saying things took a turn after she “hooked up” with the prince.

He also slammed “shameful” Prince Harry for “abandoning” the Queen, the Army and the British people.

Thomas blasted: “I think Harry has abandoned the Queen, his grandmother, the royal family, the British people and the Army.

“He’s abandoned them all. All he does now is ride a bicycle around the neighborhood… I don’t know if it’s much of a life for him either. It doesn’t make sense.”

Meghan has distanced herself from her dad’s side of the family who have repeatedly slammed her in the media over the years.

Her sister Samantha once blasted the duchess as a “social climber” who is “not fit to be a royal.”

Meanwhile brother Thomas Jr. is taking part in Australia’s “Celebrity Big Brother,” having previously dubbed Meghan a “phony,” a bully, and a “jaded, shallow, conceited woman.”

Dad Thomas said suggested his relationship with Meghan’s half-siblings were part of the reason for their split.

“She thought I was giving too much attention to her brother and sister,” he said. “She wanted me to stop talking to them and I couldn’t.”
