Meghan Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle, is on a grandparent mission that could rival any wacky sitcom plot. Picture it: a former lighting director with a yearning heart and a dream to hang out with his royal grandkids, all while dodging family drama fit for a soap opera.
In a heartfelt (and slightly melodramatic) chat with New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, Thomas poured out his granddad goals: “It’s like the world’s worst game of hide and seek. I mean, come on, they’re my grandkids! I just want to spoil them with candy and let them stay up past their bedtime.”
He added, “It’s tragic that Meghan and Harry’s kids are missing out on cousin playdates and, you know, that epic parade where everyone dresses up fancy. It’s their birthright! I’m just waiting for the day Archie and Lilibet start grilling their parents like, ‘Hey, why didn’t we get to wave at strangers from a carriage?’”
Meanwhile, the royal drama intensifies as King Charles gears up for his own American adventure to see the kiddos, all while battling a cancer diagnosis. Talk about making an entrance! “He’s determined to be the cool grandpa who knows all the best bedtime stories,” a palace insider spilled. “He’s like, ‘Cancer schmancer, I’m seeing my grandbabies!’”
Rewind to 2020: Prince Harry, tired of royal duties, decided to take a royal exit with Meghan and their son, Prince Archie. Cue the drama! The couple spilled the royal tea on TV, accusing the family of some not-so-regal behavior. Now settled in California, they’ve added Princess Lilibet to their royal lineup.
So, will Thomas Markle finally get his grandparent moment? Will King Charles impress the grandkids with his royal tales? Stay tuned for the next episode of “Grandparents of Our Lives”!
