Thomas Markle was jealous watching Charles walk Meghan down the aisle days after heart attack: 'I cried'
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex's estranged father Thomas Markle has said "his daughter looked beautiful" while marrying Prince Harry as he watched the wedding from a 'safe house' post being released from the hospital, following a heart attack.
While speaking in the first episode of a 90-minute documentary titled 'Thomas Markle: My Story' that released on Channel 5 on January 22, an emotional Thomas described how he watched his daughter walking down the aisle on TV, after being released from hospital post a heart attack. In the documentary, Thomas went into detail about his relationship with Meghan. Commenting on Harry's general disposition in life, he mentioned him acting like a 'sensitive' 12-year-old.
Thomas revealed that he has not spoken to his daughter since her wedding which took place in May 2018. He also admitted that he cried as he watched her marry Prince Harry. "I stayed in a safe house and watched the wedding. My daughter looked beautiful. I wish that I could have been there with her. I was certainly appreciative Charles was there," Thomas said.
However, he further added that he was 'jealous' of Prince Charles as he watched the ceremony on TV and said that walking his daughter down the aisle was something that he had really wanted to do. "I admit I cried a bit about that. To this day I can't forget that moment, she was beautiful. It was a nice wedding," the 75-year-old said.
Thomas also defended his decision to speak out in the documentary and shared, "At this point, they owe me. The royals owe me. Harry owes me, Meghan owes me. What I've been through I should be rewarded for. My daughter told me that when I reach my senior years she'll take care of me. I'm in my senior years now – it's time to look after Daddy."
He also described his complicated relationship with Harry and Meghan. "To them, I don't exist and now Harry, whether he realizes it or not, is part of my family and I'm part of his. We should be talking. He's not 12 years old anymore – he's got no right to be this sensitive."
