A royal expert has questioned whether Meghan Markle is “ashamed” of her dad, Thomas Markle, as she’s never introduced him to Prince Harry of her two children.

Ingrid Seward said it was “very strange” that Thomas had never met the Duke of Sussex, Archie or Lilibet.

Meghan and Thomas fell out after he posed for paparazzi snaps prior to her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

Despite suffering multiple heart attacks, he and Meghan have not been able to reconcile their differences to date.

Speaking to The Sun after Prince Harry’s 40th birthday, Ms Seward discussed the 39-year-old’s low public approval rating.

In 2019, his rating was over 70 percent according to Statista. Now, however, it’s a paltry 32 percent.

Ms Seward said: “I think what people really disliked is that [Harry] dissed his family.

“I think, the book Spare might have earned him millions but gosh, he’s paid for it. Oh, he’s paying for it still.”

The royal reporter added: “And I think, especially among the Americans that I know, they hate the idea that he dissed his family, he doesn’t speak to his family, doesn’t speak to his brother, has never met Meghan’s father.

“I mean it’s very strange. Is Meghan ashamed of her father? Why hasn’t Harry met him?

“This sort of distancing from family, people find that very alienating. It’s quite the opposite to what William and Kate were showing in their most recent video.”
