Thomas Markle says daughter Meghan Markle is ‘terrified’ of royal family

Meghan Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle is worried that his daughter is having a difficult time adjusting to the royal way of life.

In an interview with The Sun newspaper, Thomas said he noticed a stark difference in his daughter’s personality after she married Britain’s Prince Harry in May.

Thomas was not able to attend the wedding due to health issues. Now he feels his daughter is struggling to adjust to the high-pressure lifestyle of royal life, according to WENN.com.

“My thing about my daughter right now is that I think she is terrified,” he tells The Sun. “I see it in her eyes, I see it in her face and I see it in her smile. I’ve seen her smile for years. I know her smile. I don’t like the one I’m seeing now. This one isn’t even a stage smile – this is a pained smile.

“That might be just having a couple of bad days. I don’t know. It really worries me. I think she’s under too much pressure. There’s a high price to pay to be married to that family.”

Thomas also said he wonders why the 36 year old would conform to the royals’ “ridiculous” dress codes.

“Meghan seems like something out of an old movie,” he says. “Why, in 2018, are we dressing like the 1930s? Why do they have to cover their knees…?”

Thomas has not spoken to his daughter since before her honeymoon and he reveals he has been shunned by Meghan and the royal family for staging photos of himself for a boat load of cash before the royal wedding.

“I had a heart attack, doesn’t anybody care?,” he complained. “I could actually die soon. Does she want this to be the last thing we’ve said to each other? It is probably the longest time I have gone without speaking to her ever.”
