Royal Family News: Meghan Called Cruel
Thomas said “I’m very upset about it as well because this is a cruel thing to do to a grandparent … to deny the right to see their grandchild.”
“The other thing is I’ve done nothing wrong. There’s nothing that points to say I’m a bad guy. I’m a really loving father and she knows that, and there’s no excuse for treating me this way … no excuse to treat grandparents that way.”

With Harry and Meghan now living in California they are a short road trip away from Markle Sr. who’s retired to coastal Mexico.
He also talked about a California law “that allows grandparents to get a court order forcing parents to let them visit with their grandkids” but he doesn’t want to be the bad guy by invoking it.
It’s been widely reported that “the rift between Meghan and her dad erupted in 2018, during the run-up to the royal wedding, when Thomas made deals with the paparazzi.”
According to TMZ, Thomas sees himself in the same boat as King Charles, with both being shut out of their grandkids’ lives.
