The Duchess of Sussex’s father Thomas Markle has complained about the royal family arranging to meet President Donald Trump before him.
The 73-year-old, whose daughter Meghan married Prince Harry in May, told TMZ he feels he’s been put in the “penalty box” after giving an interview to Good Morning Britain last week.
He said: “If the Queen is willing to meet our arrogant, ignorant, and insensitive president she has no excuse not to meet me, I’m nowhere near as bad.”
The president is due to meet the monarch when he visits the UK next month, while Thomas is yet to meet any of his daughter’s in-laws, including her husband Prince Harry.
The retired Hollywood lighting director missed walking Meghan down the aisle due to health problems which prevented him from travelling to the nuptials in Windsor.
Prince Charles had to step into his place and Meghan’s only family at the wedding was her mum, Doria Ragland.
Prior to the event, Thomas had been involved in a scandal where he had been caught out selling pictures of himself trying on his wedding suit which he’d staged with the paparazzi.
