- I hold no ill will towards her. My dream is to one day gather my entire family together, as a "normal" family should, - he confessed in the interview.
Thomas Markle recalls that Meghan was a well-behaved girl, and despite misunderstandings, he will always love her. - We had good times. She was a well-behaved girl. I don't like some of the things my daughter has done, but I will always love her. My door is always open for her. I love her, and that will never change. I love all my children - he emphasizes.
In 2023, in an interview with US Weekly, Markle expressed regret that Meghan does not want him to have contact with his grandchildren. "It's cruel to do something like this to a grandfather… Denying the right to see his grandchildren. The one thing I never suspected was that Meghan would turn against me at this point in my life," he said.
