Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, evidently never runs out of things to say about his daughter and Prince Harry, and this week he’s back with another snide remark about the couple’s parenting decisions. The pair famously moved to California following ‘Megxit’ in 2020, and now Thomas has plenty to say on the impact leaving the UK will have on their two children.

Speaking to Australian TV program Sunrise in a recent interview, Thomas claimed that the two children “are being deprived of seeing all their grandparents” by staying in the United States, and he also announced that he feels the couple belong in the UK to “fulfil their obligation.”
Unloading his thoughts on his royal daughter, Thomas elaborated, “I think they (Archie and Lilibet) are being deprived of seeing all their grandparents, and I think they are being deprived of seeing all their relatives and I think that’s terribly unfair to them.”
He also added, "I would like to see them both go, all four of them, go back to England and fulfil their obligation," he continued. "It's better for the children and it's better for them. By not taking them back they are cheating their children. Also it's a matter of protection, they get much better protection in England than they would in Montecito. So I really would like to see them back in England and maybe make up with the Queen and make up with his father, and then maybe we can make up."
Markle has yet to meet his grandchildren and has not seen his own daughter Meghan since before her wedding in 2018. He also recently spoke candidly about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Times 100 cover, shown in a video for Fox News saying, "Well that is only Time magazine’s opinion, there are far more influential people, like the Queen." With their rocky relationship spanning the course of several years, it doesn’t seem like father and daughter are any closer to resolving their feud than they were on her wedding day.
