Thomas Markle Snr, 77, said he wanted to try and meet senior royals, especially Prince Charles, as they were both ‘ghosted’ by their children.

Meghan Markle’s estranged father will fly to the UK for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, as it’s unclear if his daughter and son-in-law will also be making the trip.

Thomas Markle Snr, 77, said he wanted to try to meet members of the royal family, in particular Prince Charles.

Speaking to Dan Wotton GB News, Mr Markle said: “I can’t wait to be there.

“I’m going to show my respect to the Queen and I’m going to make sure the Queen understands that my whole family respects the Queen and the Royal Family and we look up to them and we want them to know that’s how we feel about them. them. “

Mr Wootton said Mr Markle will make the trip with GB News as the retired American lighting director added: ‘I would really like to meet Prince Charles and thank him for accompanying my daughter on the journey. ‘way and sit down and talk to him.

“We have a lot in common now, we were both ghosted by our kids.”

When asked if he thought he could meet Prince Harry and Meghan if they also came for the Jubilee, he was optimistic.

He said tonight: “I feel like if they know I’m coming they won’t come, but if they come I’d like to reach out and talk with them and talk about what happened. gone wrong and how to fix it…I don’t see it happening but I’d definitely like to try.”

However, Mr Markle was quick to call his son-in-law an “idiot” for security reasons and criticize his daughter for traveling to see the Queen with Archie and Lillibet.

He said: “I think it’s ridiculous. He knows how much security they’re going to have.

“He’s totally safe in this situation and my God, I don’t understand half of the things he says.

“I have so little respect for this man and think he’s an idiot…and coming and not bringing the kids…most mothers don’t leave a nine month old behind.. .that’s one thing that really bothers me…the idea that they don’t feel safe is ridiculous.”

He added: “Not bringing the children is another slap in the face for the Queen and it was the wrong thing to do and it makes no sense at all.

“The Queen should have the right to see her great-grandchildren and I should have the right to see my grandchildren.”

Mr Markle also did another search at his son-in-law’s house and bizarrely questioned his military career.

He said: “He’s not a man…you can tell me he was in the army and I don’t believe him. He’s a wimp. He’s got a brother who’s a real man. “

Last week, Harry claimed he was making sure the Queen had “the right people around her” to “protect” her in his latest tell-all interview.

The Duke of Sussex told the US Today Show it felt good to be back with his grandmother, but insisted the US was now his “home” – for now.

He said: “Being with her was great. It was so nice to see her…She’s in great shape. She always has a great sense of humor around me and I just make sure she is protected and has the right people around her.”

Mr Markle’s comments come after he had already told his close friend Karl Larsen that he was prepared to testify against her in a court case brought by his half-sister Samantha.

He said he would be ‘thrilled’ to come face to face with his daughter and husband Prince Harry.

Mr Markle has also previously said he believes his eldest daughter should win her case and revealed he would be willing to give evidence on her behalf.

The lawsuit was first revealed by the Sunday Mirror in November and was officially filed in Florida last month.

Samantha, 57, is suing her half-sister Meghan for $75,000 (£57,000), claiming she lied about her to the authors of the controversial book Finding Freedom and in her TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Michael Kump, representing Meghan, called the lawsuit “baseless and absurd” and “a continuation of a disturbing pattern of behaviour”.

He added: “We will give [the lawsuit] the minimum amount of attention needed is all it deserves.”
