Meghan Markle's Dad Thomas Releases Statement After Birth of Royal Baby

Thomas Markle, who is estranged from Duchess Meghan Markle, has spoken to the press and released a statement about the birth of the royal baby boy.

“I’m delighted to hear that mother and child are doing well,” Thomas told The Sun. “I am proud that my new grandson is born into the British royal family and I am sure that he will grow up to serve the crown and the people of Britain with grace, dignity, and honour.”

Thomas added, “GOD bless the child and I wish him health and happiness, and my congratulations to my lovely daughter Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, and GOD save the Queen.”

Thomas has been involved in near-constant controversy after it was discovered he had staged paparazzi photos ahead of Duchess Meghan‘s wedding to Prince Harry. Most recently, he published a handwritten letter the Duchess sent him after he skipped the wedding.
