Thomas Markle Says He’d ‘Love to See My Grandkids’ Archie and Lilibet Amid Royal Rift
Thomas Markle Says He’d ‘Love to See My Grandkids’ Archie and Lilibet Amid Royal Rift

In a touching new statement, Thomas Markle has once again spoken about his longing to reconnect with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, whom he has never met. The estranged father of Meghan Markle revealed that he would “love to see” his grandkids, expressing how painful it has been to remain distant from them. His heartfelt remarks echo many of the emotional themes explored in Finding Freedom, which details the ongoing tension within the royal family and the Sussexes’ complicated relationship with Meghan’s father.

Thomas Markle shared that although years have passed since Meghan and Prince Harry’s royal exit, he still holds out hope for a reconciliation. “I just want to see my grandkids,” he said, emphasizing that his feelings are not driven by fame or money, but simply love. According to Finding Freedom, the relationship between Meghan and her father began to deteriorate in the weeks leading up to her 2018 royal wedding, a wound that has yet to heal.

A Family Divided by Distance and Decisions​

The situation between Thomas Markle and his daughter Meghan has long been a subject of public fascination. Finding Freedom provides insight into how media attention, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings played major roles in creating the rift. The book also explores how Meghan struggled to balance her royal duties with the pressure of dealing with her father’s public interviews.

Now, years later, Thomas Markle’s emotional appeal to see Archie and Lilibet highlights the human side of a family torn apart by circumstance. He expressed regret over how things unfolded, saying that he never wanted the family’s private issues to become public. Finding Freedom suggests that despite the distance, there remains a part of Meghan that wishes for peace — a sentiment mirrored in her father’s plea.
