Thomas Markle's reaction to the pregnancy of his daughter, the Duchess of Sussex

Meghan Markle's father has granted a new interview after learning on the radio that he would be a grandfather, although he has left this time the blame for future dads to sincerely congratulate them.

In the communiqués by which Kensington Palace announced last week the pregnancy of the Duchess of Susbad and addressed to future parents their heartfelt congratulations in the name of Elizabeth II, the Duke d. Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Dukes of Cambridge, and in a separate message from Doria Ragland, a remarkably absent person was: Thomas Markle.

At the time of the announcement, speculation had been made that the problematic parent of the former actress had been informed of the good news – some have reported it. The ex-wife could have told him by phone, but he himself confirmed that he had learned it at the same time as the rest of the world in a new interview with the newspaper Mail On Sunday.

"I was waiting to queue to cross the border when I heard the announcement of the baby on my car radio. The first thing that came to my mind was the the moment I held Meghan in my arms 37 years ago.I was very proud, I felt a sense of love, happiness and joy for my daughter and my step-son, a new baby is always a blessing and I'm dying to see I stop a little Meghan or a little Enrique there, "said Thomas Markle, who currently resides in Mexico.

The main difference between his conversation with the media mentioned and the one that l? made persona non grata for the British royal house is that on this occasion, he avoided criticizing the newlyweds, whom he accused of having eliminated from their lives as a punishment for his indiscretions with the paparazzi and even hinted that they would be relieved if he died as a result of his heart problems. The former director of photography attributed his lack of relationship with the couple to a series of "misunderstandings" that would have naturally undermined his self-confidence, to the point of not knowing personally his daughter's husband.

"I do not want anyone to feel sorry for me," he added, trying to bring the positions closer together. "The fact that I did not receive any calls is certainly due to a misunderstanding about my two heart operations and my absence from marriage."

In conclusion, Thomas expressed his belief that Meghan, who is currently immersed in her first official tour of Australia with Prince Henry, will be a "fantastic" mother.

"Meghan loves children, she and Enrique talked about starting a family from the beginning, she has always been very good with the youngest and most of her friends already have children, so she is more used to to deal with children (this may interest you: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle receive gifts after announcement that they will be dads)
