On June 4, little Lilibet Diana was born. And today, her maternal grandfather Thomas Markle, Meghan’s father, is desperate to meet her one day. Will she be the baby of reconciliation or not?
With this name Lilibet Diana, Meghan Markle and Harry wanted to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Lady Diana. What about the family of the Duchess of Cambridge? Her father, Thomas Markle, with whom she has been on the outs for nearly three years despairs of ever being able to meet his granddaughter. This is what this former director of photography confided during an interview, this June 10 with 60 Minutes.
“I will be very disappointed not to be able to hold my granddaughter one day,” he said. This 76-year-old retiree, although he lives 100 km from his daughter’s home, has not spoken to her for three years. He has never met Archie and already despairs of ever meeting Lilibet Diana. Thomas Markle said he was puzzled as to why today his “good relationship” with his daughter has been broken. “I made mistakes. I have apologized for them a hundred times,” he confided, as reported by DailyMail.
Very happy with the arrival of Lilibet Diana
To the Sun website, a few days earlier, the American said he was “very happy” with the arrival of his new granddaughter. “I am very happy that everything went well for my daughter and my granddaughter. I wish them all my love and good luck in life,” he said. But can this baby be one of reconciliation? Will Meghan Markle forgive him for putting himself on display in the tabloids in 2018 in exchange for some money? For his part, he reaffirmed his willingness to pass the towel, stating that he would “love” to talk with her and beg for forgiveness once again.
