In the interview with 60 Minutes Australia, the 76-year-old reveals that he hasn’t spoken to his daughter since before she married Harry more than three years ago.
In a sneak preview of the interview, he makes a reference to “dirty laundry”, leading to speculation that he will spill the beans about his difficult relationship with Meghan.
Thomas also says he is desperate to rekindle a relationship with Meghan and hopes the arrival of baby Lilibet will prove to be a catalyst for a reunion.
Thomas Markle found out about the birth of his granddaughter on the radio
In extracts of the interview that have already been released, Thomas says: “If I had done something terribly wrong, that would be fine, but I haven't. I just want an answer.”
He adds: "I'd love to talk to her. I've made mistakes. I apologised a hundred times for it.
"I'll be very disappointed that I don't get to hold my granddaughter.”
The 40-second preview clip features Thomas at his cliffside home south of Tijuana, Mexico, saying sorry for his "one dumb mistake".
Ominously for the Sussexes, he adds: "You want dirty laundry? This is the first time I've discussed these things."
The two Markles have had a strained relationship since Thomas posed for staged photographs ahead of Meghan’s May 2018 wedding. He later admitted that they were "hammy" and "stupid".
Thomas Markle has never met his grandson Archie.
He didn’t attend the wedding in Windsor, and said it was to avoid embarrassing Meghan and the Royal Family, but it later emerged he also had to have heart surgery at that time.
It meant that Prince Charles walked Meghan down the aisle instead.
Since then, Thomas has publicly criticised Meghan and the Royal Family.
Earlier this year, during the Sussexes’ infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said she couldn't forgive what her father had done because she "genuinely can't imagine doing anything to intentionally cause pain" to her own son, Archie.
In the 60 Minutes interview, which will broadcast this Sunday, Thomas says: "Of course it hurts. My daughter and I had a great relationship."

ReplyDeletewhy not take these dirty linen to the dry cleaners?
๐งบ๐งบ๐งบ๐งบ๐งบ๐งบ๐งบ๐งบshame!
This man has no shame honestly!
DeleteMeghan go and carry your papa.
DeleteVagabond father.
ReplyDelete๐๐๐
DeleteLike father like daughter, they are both cashing in on the royal family.
DeleteThat should both disappear, classless people ๐๐
Na real vagabond father.
DeleteWhatever Megan did to deserve this man? At this point, it has gotten out of hand.
ReplyDeleteFather from hell. He keeps doing such disappointing things and wonders why she want nothing to do with him.
DeleteThey both deserve each other. A Lion will never give birth to a pig.
DeleteIts in their blood to bad mouth, destroy people and Cash out from it, the elder sister and bro doing the same. You don't want to be a royal, you decide to step down but you refuse to give up your titles and constantly granting unnecessary interviews to destroy the royals.
Omo oju o rola ri. Classless, shameless and desperate lots ๐
What a narcissist. He hasn't done anything wrong he says but doesn't hesitate to badmouth her publicly, se were ni e?
ReplyDeleteEven what he is doing now is annoying, if felt he has apologized in enough for any of his wrong doing then he need not say more or else making amend becomes more difficult. Abi ta lo ni bร bรก รญ sแปnรน.
DeletePathetic man, she just gave birth for crying loud, let her breathe.
ReplyDeleteThis man is not worth calling a father,he's simply a sperm donor!!!
ReplyDeleteAttention seeking duo! Whatever!.I care less about them.
ReplyDeleteWhich other dirty laundry is remaining that he and Samantha hasn't said already.
ReplyDeleteHe has a son he hasn’t spoken to or seen for 10 years but it’s Meghan he’s bent on seeing. Useless old man
ReplyDeleteShe makes him look relevant. Does he not have other grandkids? What about samantha? Whose child wants nothing to do with her? Why does he not want to reconcile with that grandchild? This man no follow.
DeleteThis man is petty.
ReplyDeleteFather from hell! I hope M and H continue to ignore you! Attention seeker.
ReplyDeleteThis man makes me so angry
ReplyDeleteNwokea zukwanuike
ReplyDeleteUseless father. Tufiakwa
ReplyDeleteOnye ara oilmill, why not respect your old age
ReplyDeleteHousehold enemies! It's better to be raised in an orphanage than to have family members that want your destruction. A lot of enemies would not threaten to air your dirty laundry, what more your own blood. God abeg o ๐ฎ
ReplyDeleteUncle swerve. Events have overtaken you.
ReplyDeleteThis is tiring! What a father! ๐ฅ
ReplyDeleteMeghan please, forgive your father regardless.
Just be cordial. You must not be chummy.
It's for your own peace of mind.
They can do cordial but this man wants beyond. That they cannot afford that. Best kept at arms length till he is ready to do right by them.
DeleteMy thoughts exactly...
DeleteAbeg life too short for all this yeye talk.
What a family
Boy!! Which kind father needs this na
ReplyDeleteLiving proof to hold your friends close and your enemies closer. Sometimes trying to show off and prove something will only backfire.
ReplyDeleteNa wah o. With this type of father who needs enemies???? Useless narcissistic old fool.
ReplyDeleteThis man na agbaya i swear ๐คฌ
ReplyDeleteLike father,like daughter..she dey give the royals gbos,her papadey give her gbas
ReplyDeleteLol..The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
DeleteGod bless you Anonymous 00:28, really well said.
DeleteVery classless and shameless people, we all can see that na her papa really born her.
Awon eyan jati jati.
Calling God in the same sentence @anon 13:34...
DeleteDailymail and Piers Morgan are on a witch-hunt for the black girl that had the guts to marry into royalty. They tried to control her with the media, she dumped them waka go. They demanded for the rent money they paid for their cottage home. They paid back with trust Princess Diana left for Harry. As if that is not enough, they enter US, land million dollar deals, release bombshell explosive expose’ on royal life. Piers Morgan has a meltdown, walks out of his job, now he is looking to smell Meghan’s anus to see if she forgot to clean her nyash after shitting. Or if she ever forgot or brush her teeth. In fact at this point they will pay her father anything to lie about her. Next thing she will do is to gag her father from taking interviews or face lawsuit for running his mouth! Simple as that. The racists are on a witch-hunt! Colonial wizards!
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:49 u have said it all. Piers claims not to like her but has set his sensor so once anything Meghan comes on he’s first to comment. Useless set of people!!
Delete09:49, I just love it when ppl see it and say it as it is. U get eye. Let Morgan and the Press be kidding themselves as H&M keep delivering them steady knocks. Very petty set of jobless ppl.
