Thomas Markle has hit out at his daughter Meghan Markle once again as he branded her “deceitful” during a live interview on GB News.
It comes after Meghan apologised to the Court of Appeal this week, for ‘failing to remember’ she told a royal aide to brief the authors of the Finding Freedom biography about her and husband Prince Harry.
She previously insisted that the pair did not co-operate with the two co-authors of the gushing book.
However, it has now emerged she emailed her former communications secretary Jason Knauf with a detailed briefing note in December 2018 with some “helpful reminders” about her estranged family and her recollections of a tiara incident involving the Queen.

And now her 77-year-old father has spoken out on Meghan’s “forgetfulness”.
He claimed: “She was trying to deceive. I think she was telling lies, but I can’t speak about this particular issue too much.”
Thomas also added that he wants to take Jason Knauf for a beer and a steak at a nearby Sizzler restaurant for allowing the truth to come out.
He said: “Thank God for Jason Knauf. I’ll be happy to get him over here and take him to Sizzler and we’ll enjoy a steak and a nice little dinner together.

“He’s certainly putting things in the right perspective.”
Host Dan Wootton then quizzed him: “Does your daughter have the capacity to lie?”
Thomas responded: “Never quite as much as she does now. it’s turning into a joke.
He added: “It started with the Archbishop – her telling Oprah she was married three days before [the wedding] by the Archbishop, it started there.
“God knows what she tells Harry!” he said.
“Another ridiculous story she told is when I’d take her to lunch, we had to rub pennies together to get a full meal – that’s crazy.”
Dan then chimed in with: “Well, yeah! You were a very successful Hollywood lighting guy!”
The latter was referring to a letter Meghan wrote to politicians, pushing for paid parental leave as a ‘national right’.
In it, she said: “Grew up on the $4.99 salad bar at Sizzler – it may have cost less back then (to be honest, I can’t remember) – but what I do remember was the feeling: I knew how hard my parents worked to afford this because even at five bucks, eating out was something special, and I felt lucky.
“And as a Girl Scout, when my troop would go to dinner for a big celebration, it was back to that same salad bar or The Old Spaghetti Factory – because that’s what those families could afford.
“I worked all my life and saved when and where I could – but even that was a luxury – because usually, it was about making ends meet and having enough to pay my rent and put gas in my car.”
