Thomas Markle

Meghan Markle's half-sister said Meghan is using her "depression as an excuse for treating people like dishrags" on Inside Edition.

"I'm hoping it's just a dumb question from somebody," Thomas Markle told Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain. "Could be that simple, a dumb question rather than being a total racist."

Thomas Markle said that he still hoped for reconciliation with the Duchess of Sussex.

Thomas Markle said he doesn't "know who she is now" in a documentary that aired on U.K. television.

In a statement Tuesday, Prince Harry said he's been a "silent witness" to Meghan's "private suffering for too long."

"She says she doesn't know me and she lied and said she was never close to my dad… if pointing out that what she says are all lies breaks your heart, too bad because what I'm saying is the truth."

"We've seen how that ends," the actor added.

"It is in the best interests of the baby for my dad to be included."

Families of celebrities can find themselves caught in the "reflected glory" of fame.

Doria's visit was made to console the worried Duchess of Sussex after her father had another public outburst.

The prince broke into song but quickly stopped, assuring the audience, "That's definitely not going to happen."

Frederick Markle is reportedly a self-proclaimed Catholic bishop with no parishioners.

"Maybe it would be better for you guys if I was dead... then you could pretend to be sad," Thomas Markle told Prince Harry.

"I think no one in media would refuse a paycheck for talking about the royal[s] and, as a family, we're not subject to royal protocol."

"I would do it for you for 1,500 my minimum is much higher," Samantha Markle said.

It is expected to happen before she and her new husband tour the South Pacific.

"Act like a humanitarian act like a woman! If our father dies I'm holding you responsible, Meg!" Samantha Markle said.

Markle said he hasn't spoken to the duchess since the day after her wedding in May.

"She has no excuse not to meet me."

Thomas Markle said his royal son-in-law may have been a Trump supporter but added: "I would hope not now."

Ragland will accompany Markle in the car ride to Windsor Castle on the day of the royal wedding.

The absence of Meghan Markle's father at her wedding has raised the question of why fathers still give away their daughters. These women have bucked tradition and walked down the aisle without their dads.

For one, he won't be at the royal wedding.

Meghan Markle will tie the knot with Prince Harry on Saturday.
