Thomas Markle, 74, who had no idea his daughter was pregnant until he heard it on his car radio, has intensified his efforts to heal their rift since hearing the news.
According to Mirror, royal sources claim he has spoken of his “rights” and how the baby will be part of his family too, having “Markle blood” as well as “blue blood”.
Thomas has made more approaches to Kensington Palace and even appealed to Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who married Prince Harry and Meghan, for help.
And sources say his anger at being cut out of his daughter’s life is such that he may even hire a legal team to force visits through the courts.
A source said, “The palace is acutely aware of what problems could lie ahead with Thomas. He strongly believes the baby should be as much a part of his life as they will be Prince Charles’s.”
He has offered to fly to the UK if he can sit down with Meghan, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, when they return from their royal tour of Australia.
He said about the first time he heard about the baby: “The first thing I thought about was holding Meghan as a newborn. I thought, ‘My baby is having a baby’. A baby is a blessing and I look forward to seeing a little Meghan or a little Harry.”
Friends of the retired Hollywood film lighting technician claim he would even like the baby to be called Thomas if Meghan has a boy. His only son is also called Thomas.
Meghan has not spoken to her father since her wedding in May.
