Meghan Markle’s father breaks silence on her baby news

In an interview with Daily Mail on Sunday, the 21st of October, he spoke about how he heard the news and discussed his wishes for her.

“I was sitting in line waiting to cross the [United States-Mexico] border when I heard the baby announcement on the car radio,” Thomas, who currently lives in Mexico, told the publication. “The first thing I thought about was holding Meghan in my arms as a newborn 37 years ago. I thought, ‘My baby is having a baby.’ It was a very proud moment.”

He added, “I was filled with love, joy and happiness for both my beautiful daughter and my son-in-law. A new baby is a blessing and I look forward to seeing a little Meghan or a little Harry.”

He also added that he wishes his daughter and royal son-in-law “nothing but the best,” saying, “I love my daughter and always will. She will be a great mom.” 

Meghan and her father fell out in the days preceding her wedding when he staged paparazzi photos shortly before having heart surgery. Her mother, Doria Ragland was the only family member at her wedding.
