Meghan Markle’s Father Blasts Prince Harry for “Disrespectful” Actions

Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan Markle, has launched a YouTube channel with his friend Karl Larsen, and in their most recent video, he criticized Prince Harry's decision to end his time as a working royal and move to California.

Larsen asked Thomas for his thoughts on Harry's decision to skip his grandfather's memorial service, but to attend the Invictus Games a few weeks later.

Thomas responded by saying that he thinks it's disrespectful for a man to abandon his country and his family.

Thomas went on to say that Harry's actions were “the most hateful, mean-spirited, unforgivable thing anyone can do.”

He also stated that Harry will never be forgiven for what he's doing.

The friends also discussed Queen Elizabeth's health, referring to rumors that she is currently unable to walk and is using a wheelchair.

However, there is no evidence to support these rumors.

In a family familiar with scandal, the Thomas Markle saga stands apart.

Sure, there has been tabloid tawdryness swirling around the royal family every now and then for decades.

But the negative attention focused on the father of Prince Harry's new wife Meghan has little precedent among royal in-laws.

It's all very sad.

It's a disaster, really, said UK-based author and royal biographer Penny Junor.

The Markle debacle, as it's been dubbed in some British tabloids, ramped up in earnest with the whole shemozle over whether the retired TV lighting director would walk his daughter down the aisle for the May 19 wedding at Windsor Castle.

In the end, he didn't and Harry's dad, Prince Charles, stepped in.

Since then, there has been a constant barrage of tabloid headlines, as Markle periodically speaks with media outlets to share his views, none of them very complimentary, about his daughter's new relatives.

The 74-year-old, who lives a reclusive life in Mexico, recently went on about the royal family's cult-like secrecy and compared them to Scientologists.

They close the door, pull the shades down and put their fingers in their ears so they don't have to hear, he told The Sun newspaper last week.

Each time Markle speaks, it just seems to add to the negative narrative developing around him.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in January 2020.

Since then, the couple has relocated to California and has been working on various projects, including a Netflix deal and a podcast.

The decision was met with mixed reactions, with some praising the couple for their independence and others criticizing them for abandoning their duties.

Thomas Markle has been one of the most vocal critics, frequently speaking out against his daughter and son-in-law in the media.

The couple has also faced criticism for their lavish lifestyle and their use of private jets, which some have deemed hypocritical given their public support for environmental causes.

Despite the criticism, the couple has continued to pursue their own path and has spoken out about issues that are important to them, including mental health and racial justice.

In conclusion, the ongoing feud between Thomas Markle and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continues to make headlines.

While some may sympathize with Thomas' frustrations, his constant public criticism of his daughter and son-in-law has only added fuel to the fire.

As the couple continues to carve out their own path, it remains to be seen how this family drama will ultimately play out.
