Meghan Markle’s dad calls Ellen chat ‘stupid stunt,’ says she lied
Meghan Markle’s father has called her surprise Ellen interview a “stupid stunt” and thinks her appearance would disgrace the Royal Family.
Thomas Markle Sr acknowledged to tuning in with apprehension.
But he said he opted to watch his daughter, but he didn’t expect a 20-minute clingefest as she got up to mischief on the show.
According to The Sunday Mirror, she took part in a sketch during the event in which she did squats and was instructed to say ridiculous things at a market booth.
“It’s no way to behave,” Thomas, 77, told the Sunday Mirror. “The whole thing was kind of embarrassing. It was certainly embarrassing for the Royal Family.
“It’s embarrassing for her as well. I suspect it embarrassed everyone in the UK, too.
“She’s putting herself out there as a duchess but I’ve never seen a duchess behave this way, doing stupid stunts.”
Markle, who has infamously struggled to maintain a bond with his ex-royal daughter, said Meghan forgot to appreciate his support when speaking about her modest beginnings as an actress.
Back in the studio, Meghan discussed her experiences as a struggling actor in her twenties, auditioning at a Los Angeles studio. She claimed that her car’s doors were malfunctioning, forcing her to enter and exit through the trunk.

In response to Meghan’s comments, Thomas stated, “The Ford Explorer she had in her early 20s that she mentioned was a good running vehicle. I don’t remember any time she had to crawl out of the back of it to get out, like she said.
“The doors worked fine on that vehicle until the day she got rid of it.”
“I’m disappointed she didn’t mention me. I hooked her up with a director on the General Hospital TV show and that got her a couple of lines on one of the shows which got her a union card,” he said.
“It’s really difficult to get a job without a card so that was crucial. I paid for the card too. I’ve been disappointed all this hasn’t been acknowledged.”
During the show, the duchess also gave out copies of her children’s book The Bench to audience members, as a photograph of her wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and yellow Peppa Pig Hunter wellies came up on the screen.
Her father claimed to have read the book and noted that the only thing appealing to a child about it is the picture of the dog on the front. Thomas and Meghan had a spat after he worked with a US photo agency to take photos of him getting ready for her wedding.
Markle proposed that Meghan and Prince Harry visit the Royal Family at Christmas in what might be their “last chance” to meet the Queen in a parting message to his estranged daughter.
“Harry should go, without a doubt. This might be the last chance he gets to see his grandmother. I really feel bad for her, they have treated her so poorly and been so rude. I have great respect for the Queen and the Royal Family,” he said.

I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! If Meghan, Duchess of Sussex or (using the same maiden name format as is often used for HRH The Duchess of Cambridge) Meghan Markle, was my daughter, I would be HUMILIATED! She is not only an embarrassment to the British Royal Family and her own family, but to women in general. Grow up Meghan! You are NOT important! You have lied, schemed, and trapped a dimwit! It is apparent that you are a manipulative shrew, who refuses to tell the truth about her father’s support, her C-list acting credentials – you did not win an Oscar like Princess Grace of Monaco (at the time the exquisitely-talented Grace Kelly) – or anything else. If you want privacy for your family, DON’T bring your own photographers! Also, for God’s sake, have your extravagantly-priced clothing tailored! You look appalling! The red Carolina Herrera dress worn at the NY Tribute to Veterans not only made your waist look gross, but gave you horrible ‘back fat’. For what you are paying for these clothes, they still look like SHIT on you! It’s surprising that a front boob didn’t fall out! Also, Meghan, you do NOT have the legs for ANY kind of slit, so stop thinking you are ‘walking the runway’! You are merely exposing parts of yourself that remain better hidden. Also, no one gives a rat’s ass about your stupid little book, meant for a baby, although I am not quite certain which member of your family that may be. This comment is written by a 66-year old AMERICAN woman, who would shoot my child for boorish behavior like yours. PLEASE shut your mouth and go back to your Montecito retreat. No one in the US gives a crap about you, other than your neighbors (I won’t call them friends as friends would never ask you to behave as you did on Ellen) who have used you in cooperation with your quest for fame and relevance!

I think that Thomas Markle and the rest of those scum suckers in the Markle family should go on about their lives and leave Meghan and Harry alone. Thomas and that horrible creature he calls a daughter Samantha the brother (Thomas Jr.) that was on the show in Australia do nothing but trash Meghan., saying anything for a dollar. Thomas complains the wants to see Meghan’s children, even if he has to take legal action and he wants to reconcile with his daughter but all he does is try to degrade and bad mouth her. I don’t blame Meghan one bit; I would stay as far away from that bunch of trailer trash as I could get. Sometimes family can be worse than strangers, the Markles are an EXCELLENT example of bottom feeders. Live your life Meghan on your own terms.
