Since blackmailing his daughter, leaking their private letters, and admitting to lying to his daughter, Thomas Markle is demanding to see his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet Diana. He will stop at nothing to get a chance to meet them, except to simply stop talking to and profiting from the media. His ex-wife Doria Ragland has gracefully stayed out of the public eye and rejected all media requests since her daughter first began dating Prince Harry, unlike Thomas who has kept his threat to keep talking to the media every month if his daughter does not speak to him.
He has just spilled more of his negative opinions of his daughter's family to Fox News and revealed his court plans! The 77-year-old also revealed what he believes inspired his daughter Meghan Markle to pursue stardom... although it differs from what she has said.
He claimed "I believe this is the day around the time she was 12 when I was nominated once again for a nation Emmy Award and I asked Meghan to be my date. Once she was on the red carpet with me and the flashes were popping and the lights blaring and the red carpet blinded you all over... Meghan turned to me and said ‘Daddy, I want to be famous just like you one day.' I turned to her and said, ‘You are famous to me already and in life family is all that really matters."
Oddly enough she had already been pursuing acting and dance for years before this and was even attending performance classes.

Yesterday Thomas told Fox News, "We shouldn’t be punishing [Lili] for Meghan and Harry’s bad behavior. Archie and Lili are small children. They’re not politics. They’re not pawns. They’re not part of the game. And they’re also royal and entitled to the same rights as any other royal."
He announced he will "be petitioning the California courts for the rights to see my grandchildren in the very near future."
He also made sure to poke fun at his son-in-law Prince Harry for writing a memoir...

Thomas has quite a bit to say about his Prince son-in-law who has served multiple tours in Afghanistan and worked closely with wounded service personnel.
"Harry doesn't have too much more to tell. After three sessions with the psychiatrists and Oprah Winfrey, I don't know what more is there to tell."
In Harry's announcement of the memoir he explained, "I’m writing this not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become. I've worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story – the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned – I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think."
Thomas Markle thinks very little of this and has previously made fun of Prince Harry on multiple occasions...

It seems as though Thomas is not searching for peace with his daughter as he claims but what he believes is rightfully his, time with Archie and Lilibet Diana. We will have to wait and see what the California courts say and if Meghan and Harry will be forced to connect their children with the man who has been publicly harassing and endlessly attacking their parents' character.
Meghan made it clear in her interview with Oprah Winfrey that she will protect her children at all costs and will not allow Thomas in their lives if he continues to lie to her and publicly bash her family.

Meghan Markle asked one thing of her father, to not speak about her and her family to the media, or to at least not speak badly. Thomas Markle has chosen time and time again not to listen. While he wonders why she and Prince Harry have not maintained a relationship with him, he has once again bashed his daughter and son-in-law Prince Harry.
Except for this time he has run to Fox News to threaten legal action against his beloved daughter in hopes of being able to meet Archie and Lilibet Diana...
The man who claims to be a great father while continuously publicly insulting and threatening his daughter with blackmail will do whatever it takes to be a part of his grandchildren's lives (except apologize properly and stop bashing his grandchildren's parents).
Will the California courts grant the Duchess of Sussex's estranged father time with her two children Archie and Lili? Thomas Markle has just given another interview that claims they will!
