Thomas Markle Believes Prince Harry 'Has Abandoned The Queen & The Royal Family': 'All He Does Now Is Ride A Bicycle Around The Neighborhood'
Thomas Markle is coming after Prince Harry once again. This time, Meghan Markle's father believes that when he and his wife moved to the U.S., he completely "abandoned the Queen and the royal family, the British people and the army, he's abandoned them all."
"All he does now is ride a bicycle around the neighborhood that he lives in. I don't know if it's much of a life for him either, doesn't make sense," he told Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley of Harry and Meghan's life in California.
"Do you think they're happy, Thomas?" Reid asked.
"Well, money isn't everything but the book he's writing should not be finding freedom, it should be finding money. That's all they care about now," he replied. "Harry's coming out with a book and that can't be anything but cruel — and to insult his grandmother, the Queen, it's a ridiculous idea, and it's just something for money. That's all they're doing, everything they're doing is for money. But to do that to your grandmother, who is 95 years old, is shameful."
Thomas admitted that he has not heard "a word" from his daughter's outer circle about what she thinks about him.
"There were some people quite some time ago in a magazine that said some things about me that were her friends, insults and lies," he said. "I've been trying to get their names and go after them for quite some time, it has happened yet."
In August, Thomas apparently sent the former actress some roses for her 40th birthday, but he did not get a response.
While speaking with Oprah Winfrey in March, the TV star revealed she has not been on good terms with her father ever since he claimed he wasn't working with the paparazzi prior to her wedding.
"If we're going to use the word betrayal, it's because when we were told by the comms team that this was going to be a story coming out – the tabloids had apparently known for a month or so and decided to hold until the Sunday before our wedding to create drama, which is also really key in all of this," she shared.
