THOMAS Markle said the Duchess of Sussex “changed” when she met Prince Harry and has “pretty much disowned both sides of her family”.
The estranged dad said he couldn’t understand why Meghan Markle cut him off but insisted things took a turn after she “hooked up with Harry”.
The 77-year-old, who has not spoken to his daughter in years, is yet to meet his grandkids Archie, two, and baby Lilibet.
And today he insisted Meghan, 40, “grow up” and make “time to talk” for the sake of her children.
Asked on ITV’s Good Morning Britain why the duchess keeps him “at arm’s length”, Mr Markle said: “I don’t know what changed her.
“She’s never been that way before and once she hooked up with Harry she changed.
“I understand she hooked up with Soho Club and a different group of people, but she has pretty much disowned both sides of her family and I don’t understand the reason for it.”
Thomas, who frequently slams Meghan and Harry in the media, also said Harry has “abandoned everyone”, branding the duke’s forthcoming book “shameful”.
“I think Harry has abandoned the Queen, his grandmother, the royal family, the British people and the Army,” he said.
“He’s abandoned them all.”
Harry and Meghan have signed a number of lucrative deals since quitting royal life and setting up their family home in the US.
And they were ranked in Time’s list of top 100 most influential people last month after tirelessly campaigning for a number of causes across the globe.
But Thomas said all Harry does now is “ride a bicycle around the neighbourhood” and said it “doesn’t make sense”.
He added: “Harry is coming out with a book and that can’t be anything but cruel, and to insult his grandmother… it’s a ridiculous idea and it’s just something for money.
“Everything they’re doing is for money.
“To do that to your grandmother, who is 95 years old, is shameful.”
