Thomas Markle ANNOUNCEMENT over travel plans to meet grandchild #royalbaby

The 74-year-old will not see his daughter as she gives birth over the coming days, despite Meghan’s mother Doria flying over at the weekend. Sources close to Thomas have reportedly said he is still “squarely persona non grata” in the royal fold. He has also been “unable to make inroads reconciling with Meghan because he believes she is in a ‘cone of silence’.”

Meghan has not spoken to her father since her wedding last May.

This is because he has talked about the royal couple to the media several times over the last year.

But Thomas apparently “hopes their relationship can be repaired after she has a baby”.

Thomas was also supposed to walk Meghan down the aisle when she tied the knot with Prince Harry.
