In an interview with Good Morning Britain on Dec. 17, The Duchess of Sussex’s father Thomas Markle has appealed to the Queen to help heal the growing chasm between himself and his daughter.
Mr Markle has claimed he is being “shunned” by Meghan, who he says has not spoken to him for months and does not reply to his daily text messages.
The former lighting director also dismissed as “gossip” media reports his daughter was “rude” to staff, which some newspapers claim has contributed to an alleged rift between Meghan and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Mr Markle said he would like Harry’s grandmother to intervene.
“I would appreciate anything she could do,” he said.
Mr Markle, who Good Morning Britain said was not paid for the interview, added: “I would think she would want to resolve family problems.
"All families, royal or otherwise, are the same and they should all be together – certainly around the holidays.”
