He wants to see his Grandchildren and make peace doesn't he ? I see nothing wrong with that

****ed around and found out. If you want a good relationship with your kids and grandkids, you don't sell them out for your own ego (or cash).

This.

If it wasn’t for the fact it’s Meghan Markle no one would give a **** for the father. Hilarious how people can look past that kind of betrayal and blame her for it.

He sold a few photos before the wedding...of him in his suit if I recall correctly

Then faked a heart attack and told her he wasn’t going to the wedding

Why doesn't Meghan want him to see them though?

Obviously I don't mean it in a sinister way like that, but we don't know if he was a terrible Father to Meghan.

Or tbf maybe she is being a bitch to him, but I feel like none of us know their dynamic personally.

What an awful father

[joeysteele]

I avoid this topic like the plague almost now.
I'm fed up with all of them.

However if my Father and I had fallen out.
Which never ever could have happened.
However had he repeatedly gone on TV and the media, rubbishing my friends or partner if I'd had one, and even myself in a smaller way, then no way would that have made me warmer towards him.

He's coming across as much as a media attention seeker as his daughter is.
Possibly not that sincere either.

It’s funny, he does exactly what the haters say Meghan does but they fawn over him like a hurt puppy. Nasty Meghan for making her father sell stories about her.

i don't get why he doesn't try and resolve things with his daughter outside of the media. Well, actually, i do get it, he is being paid which doesn't strike me as the way to do it if he were serious

He has tried, he said.

He hasn't got time. He's elderly and ill.

Exactly. if his motivation is truly wanting to see his grandkids going to the media and talking about his daughter like that is certainly not the best way to achieve that ...........

What has he actually said about Meghan that is bad? He says she isn't the daugther he knew, that's she's changed and he doesn't know what has happened. In his interviews he always says he loves her, he always will, he misses her.
He has tried to reach out, but she never answers his calls or texts, in fact I think he said a while again she (and Harry) changed their numbers.
Even when he had his stroke she completely ignored him, not even a 'get well soon' card.

that's none of our business though. Family relationships can break down for all sorts of reasons. You don't jump on the media if you are serious about resolving it. Particularly if they are paying to dish the dirt

Exactly and I don't believe for a second people genuinely believe that either. He also says that she influences Harry more than the other way around, firstly how does he even know that if he's not had contact with them, secondly that is a bad thing to say about your daughter especially when he knows it's fueling the already very negative press around her. Saying that he loves her out of the other side of his mouth doesn't cancel that out either. Also, people saying he "doesn't have time to wait around" Well I can guarantee him doing this **** is going to make it even less likely that they will have contact with him.

I don’t know about this interview as I’ve only seen the short clip, but in some other interviews it has been stressed that ‘Mr. Markle has received no payment’.
Doing interviews hasn’t been a wise thing to do at all, but it’s a bit ‘like father, like daughter’ when it comes to family relationships - only she lies and bad mouths in her interviews and documentary and receives many millions for her efforts.

He talked to the press about her and continued doing so after she repeatedly asked him to stop. We don't need to know anything more than that. It's their family, their business & Meghan's decision who she's in contact with (as is the case for all people).

I think people need to wrap their heads around the fact that people don’t have an automatic right of access to their grandchildren, if you’re not in contact with your children for whatever reason (he’s not in contact with his daughter because he’s a money hungry fame *****, who can’t keep his mouth shut about her) if they keep their kids away from you, that’s their decision, if you can’t treat your children properly, you shouldn’t expect to have a relationship with their kids
