MEGHAN Markle’s dad has accused Prince Harry of “ghosting” his dad Charles.
In a dramatic interview, Thomas Markle claimed it was “unfortunate” that the Duke of Sussex’ relationship with his father had deteriorated.
The granddad, 76, is estranged from Meghan and they have not spoken since 2018, when he sensationally pulled out of going to his daughter’s wedding.
Comparing himself to Charles, he suggested they had both been “ghosted” by Harry and Meghan.
Mr Markle told Australian TV show 60 minutes said: “I think we would get on quite well [if we went for a drink together] and I think it’s unfortunate what’s happened to him as well.
“He seems like a likeable guy and I appreciate the fact that he walked my daughter down the aisle.
“I could certainly not have asked for a better replacement, although I would have liked to have done it myself.”
Mr Markle continued: “I see them both ghosting their families completely and now they are alone in a huge house where they can probably accommodate 20 people in but it’s just the four of them.
“I don’t think they are going to have relatives over for a barbecue next week or next month. I don’t know why.”
Asked if he still loved Meghan, Mr Markle replied: “Of course I do” – but admitted he had “no idea” whether the feeling was mutual.
Elsewhere in the interview, Mr Markle accused the Duchess of treating him ‘worse than an axe murderer’ after cutting him off.
He said: “Of course it hurts, there are axe murderers in prison and their family comes to see them.
“I’m not an axe murder. “I made one dumb mistake and I’ve been punished for it.
“This show they’ve been on, they talk about compassion, there’s no compassion for me, no compassion for my family, and no compassion for the world.”
He also said he was “disappointed” to find out about his new baby granddaughter after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex put out a public statement.
He added: “My congratulations Harry and Meghan.
“I found out (Lilbet’s birth) after the face and I have to deal with that and that’s okay. There’s always disappointment here.
“Lili is perfect and the other thing that makes me happy is that there is a lot more Markle blood in the Royal Family.”
