Thomas Markle slammed Prince Harry and Meghan labeling them as “cruel” claiming his estranged daughter won’t let him see grandkids.

Sitting down with “Good Morning Britain” on Monday, 79-year-old Thomas made the plea claiming that he was desperate to see his grandkids.

“I’m very upset about it as well because this is a cruel thing to do to a grandparent,” he told hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley. “To deny the right to see their grandchild.”

He claimed that due to California law, he “can actually sue to see them,” but added that “he didn’t want to do that.”

“The other thing is I’ve done nothing wrong. There’s nothing that points to say I’m a bad guy,” Thomas continued. “I’m a really loving father and she knows that, and there’s no excuse for treating me this way — no excuse to treat grandparents that way.”

Harry and Meghan have 3-year-old Archie and daughter Lillibet.

“Meghan lived with me from sixth grade to high school and I never saw anything like that,” Thomas recalled about the “Suits” alum in the interview. “I never saw the kind of woman she turned into. I am shocked.”

According to her father, “She is not the person I knew as my daughter.”

When asked if he believed Harry has changed her behavior over the years, he insisted that it was the other way around.

“I think she has an influence on Harry more than he does on her,” Thomas confidently stated. “King Charles has done nothing wrong too and he is denied the kids as well as I am.”

Back in 2018, the family relationship went south shortly before the wedding of Markle and Prince Harry.

Despite the Duchess of Sussex’s harsh treatment, Thomas said “I am always here for her, I still love her — I’ll love her forever.”

He continued: “That will never change but I want her to reach out to me and let me see my grandkids and let me have a little peace.”
