It’s time for Thomas Markle to STFU.
The estranged father of newlywed Meghan Markle has been making a spectacle of himself for months now, whining about being given the supposed cold shoulder by the British royal family.
In the latest installment of the saga, the self-imposed outcast revealed how he lied to his son-in-law Prince Harry before hanging up on him.
Hilariously, Thomas told the Ginger One that he was “being measured for a hoodie” in those infamous staged photographs when he received payment from a paparazzo. The faked pictures purported to show him buying a tailor-made suit ahead of Megan’s wedding this spring — a joyful, historic occasion he went on to miss.
For starters, who hangs up on Prince Harry? You might as well kick a Labrador who happens to be a war hero and humanitarian.
Also, what self-respecting 74-year-old wears a hoodie?
Thomas didn’t seem like such a bad guy, initially. Buckingham Palace didn’t appear to protect him from the wiles of the British press when they came hammering on the door of his modest home in Mexico. And it was sad when his alleged cardiac issues prevented him from traveling to Windsor, England, for the May 19 nuptials.
But he lost all sympathy when it became clear that, all along, he had been touting his “insider knowledge” to TMZ and any other media outlet that would listen.
Remember when he told the Sun how now-37-year-old Meghan has a “pained smile” while on royal duties?
Or how about when he ripped his daughter’s more conservative sense of style? “Why, in 2018, are we dressing like the 1930s? Why do they cover their knees?” added Thomas, the internationally acclaimed fashion guru.
The loser even dragged Harry’s beloved late mom into the mess. “They [the royal family] have treated her father in a way that Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, would have loathed,” he griped to the Mail on Sunday. So now he’s got a hotline to Lady Di in the sky?
Thomas Poor-Me Markle doesn’t even seem to like himself these days. He told the Daily Mail that it would be “better” for his daughter if he died.
That’s a little extreme. Being quiet will suffice.
