MEGHAN Markle’s dad has revealed his fears his daughter won’t see him again until his FUNERAL in a heartbreaking TV interview.

Thomas and Meghan have been estranged since her wedding in May 2018 – and he said he does not expect that to change.

Thomas spoke about the breakdown in his relationship with his daughter in the Channel 5 documentary that airs on Wednesday night

Former Hollywood lighting director Thomas, who lives in Rosarito, Mexico, said: “The last time they might see me is being lowered into the ground.

“I don’t think at this point they are thrilled to see me or want to talk to me.”

The revelation came as Prince Harry was reunited with Meghan and son Archie in Canada after their bombshell decision to step back from royal duties. On Saturday the Queen confirmed that from the spring they will relinquish their HRH titles as they seek “a more independent life” in North America.

Following that Thomas, 75, accused the couple of cheapening the institution of royalty, saying: “They are turning it into Walmart with a crown on.”

He added: “Every young girl wants to become a princess. She got that and now she’s tossing it away.

“It looks like she’s tossing that away for money.”

In a Channel 5 documentary, airing tomorrow night, Thomas spoke about his dramatic fall out with Meghan.

He has never met Prince Harry or his grandson, Archie.

He told the broadcaster: “I want everyone to know that I’m not all the trashy things that are being said about me.

“I want Harry and Meghan to see this and know that this is not fair.”

Discussing the first time he heard his daughter was dating the sixth in line to the throne, he said: “She calls me on the phone and she said I’ve got a new boyfriend and I said ‘Great’ and she says ‘He’s British’. I said “OK”, she said ‘He’s a prince’ I said ‘Alright’ she said ‘He’s Prince Harry’.

“I said ‘Oh, OK’. I didn’t know what it meant. She could have been dating a Hollywood star and it would have been just as important to me, because you know either way they are both ‘high numbers’.”

He later found out his daughter was pregnant – when he heard the news on the radio.

Thomas recalled: “I was sitting in my car waiting to cross the border and I heard the good news from the royals is that Meghan is pregnant. Which is almost a joke when you tell people, well you heard it on the radio.

“This is my daughter, talking about my grandchild. She’s going to have a grandchild that’s mine. I’m not hearing about it on the phone, I’m hearing about it on the radio.”

Thomas was then unable to attend his daughter’s wedding ceremony due to ill health. Prince Charles agreed to walk his future daughter-in-law down the aisle in his place.

In a direct message to Meghan and Harry, he said: “I apologise to you. I want to apologise to the queen and to the royal family. I want to do that and I was told by them, ‘don’t’. And I was scheduled to go to the airport and go fly to England because they still wanted me to come to the wedding and be at the wedding.

“And at that time I got a massive heart attack and was then taken to the Sharp hospital, across the border.”

Buckingham Palace confirmed on Saturday that Harry and Meghan would no longer be working members of the royal family.

Responding to that, Thomas accused the couple of “destroying” one of the “greatest long-living institutions ever” and “cheapening it”.

He said: “They couldn’t have done anything worse to harm the Queen – probably the most loved and respected woman in the world.”

He added: “I can’t see her reaching out to me, especially now – or Harry for that matter.

“But I think both of them are turning into lost souls at this point. I don’t know what they’re looking for. I don’t think they know what they are looking for.”

Shot over six days in his Mexico home, Channel 5 filmed Thomas during October last year.
