“Why does Thomas Markle just not shut up?” It’s a question we and countless other have asked countless times since Meghan Markle became Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. It’s also the question that opened her estranged father’s latest interview with the British media, as he appeared on Good Morning Britain Tuesday to once again exploit his daughter’s family and claim entitlement to a relationship she clearly has no interest in continuing.

“I’ve made it quite clear that until I hear from her—until she does speak to me—that I’ll continue to do this,” Thomas Markle told GMB, which timed the interview to coincide with a commemoration of what would’ve been Princess Diana’s 60th birthday. Markle was speaking from his home in Mexico, as he also did in late July when he threatened to pursue legal action to meet his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet—a threat he is now backing down from, claiming he doesn’t want the children to be used as “pawns in a game.”
His own daughter, however, is clearly fair game.
‘I will do a show at least [every] month, if I can get it through,” he told GMB’s anchors. “And eventually, sooner or later, she should start talking to me.”
