Thomas Markle, 74, never got the chance to walk his daughter down the aisle. To make matters worse, they are now so estranged that he said he tries to reach out to his daughter every day but hasn’t received a response.
Thomas Markle Sr was a guest on Good Morning Britain, GMB, where he sat with Piers Morgan and Susana Reid to talk about his relationship with his daughter and make an appeal for her to repair their relationship. He also begged The Queen to intervene.
He told presenters and viewers he texts his daughter every day, but has never received a response.
Thomas said:
“Well I’m very disappointed by it I’m not sure why its happening and I’m waiting, I’m reaching out. I’ve been trying to reach out for her every day for weeks, every day I’ve tried to text her. I just keep asking her to respond back to me. I have sent a letter as well.”
He added that in the messages he sends to his daughter he writes:
“I love you very much, you’re my daughter and I’d really like to hear from you. Please reach out to me. Whatever differences we have, we should be able to work them out, we’re family.”
The father of the pregnant Duchess of Sussex looked very troubled as he said:
“I’ve been quiet for six months and no-one’s spoken to me, I’m confused. I love my daughter very much, she has to know that.”
He called for Queen Elizabeth’s help, saying:
“I would appreciate anything [The Queen] could do.”
