Thomas Markle, says Meghan's interview on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' was embarrassing for the royal family

The Duchess of Sussex's estranged father, Thomas Markle, criticized her appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

During Meghan Markle's appearance on the daytime talk show on Thursday, she discussed her new life in California with Prince Harry and her children's book, "The Bench."

She also took part in a number of pranks in a recorded segment of the show. DeGeneres gave Markle orders through an earpiece, including to eat "like a chipmunk" and to say she had healing powers.

"It's no way to behave. The whole thing was kind of embarrassing. It was certainly embarrassing for the royal family," Thomas Markle told The Sunday Mirror. "It's embarrassing for her as well. I suspect it embarrassed everyone in the UK, too.

"She's putting herself out there as a duchess but I've never seen a duchess behave this way, doing stupid stunts," he added.

During the interview, Markle recalled the car she used to get to her acting auditions, a Ford Explorer, and said she had to climb in through the trunk because the key had stopped working on the driver's car door.

"The Ford Explorer she had in her early 20s that she mentioned was a good running vehicle. I don't remember any time she had to crawl out of the back of it to get out, like she said," Thomas Markle told The Sunday Mirror.

"The doors worked fine on that vehicle until the day she got rid of it," he added.

Representatives for the Duchess of Sussex did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

So all he does now is complain about his daughter and fish for pity? I see where she gets it from.

He's a pig.

If anyone is "embarrassing," it's his stupid ass.

GO THE FUCK AWAY, PIG!

I'm pretty sure Liz gave Gramps Markle a tinkle to let him know (in private) how Meghan on Ellen made the Royal Family feel small and lost inside.

Actually, maybe not.

Sure this is an embarrassment to the royal family and not the fact that Prince Andrew and Lord Mountbatten were both pedophiles.

Needy and pathetic, as well as a terrible father.

Actually R7, this makes her father look bad. Not Meghan.

It just shows what a damned loser this guy is.

He needs to get a life.

No one has a perfect family, but it must be awful to see how your family acts when placed in the pressure-cooker of fame—which of them attempt to sell you out or invade your privacy or social climb on your situation.

Meghan Markle is an embarrassment. She lies constantly about everything including things that can be easily disproven. The story about going through the trunk of the car was a lie and ridiculous. Besides, there is a passenger door. But nonetheless, she's a liar, and her father is one of the few who can call her on it. The appearance on Ellen was disgraceful and humiliating. Meghan Markle is a fraud.

Besides, when she lies about family issues, cars with broken doors, being poor that they could only afford to eat a salad at Sizzler, it reflects badly on him, and I don't blame him for speaking up and setting the record straight.

The only people with anything remotely complimentary to say about this scummy guy (a dad who takes money to talk badly about his own child) are just happy he’s insulting his daughter, whom they hate. Just gross.

He has a sexual predator for an uncle, his grandfather was a man-whore, he has pedos in his families and a father who wanted to be his whore's tampon. Are you such a simpleton that shiny jewelry and stupid titles makes you ignore his family isn't exactly a prize?

He’s a horror show of a father.

R14 - he was supposedly a great father according to Nutmeg when she had her Tig blog.

He paid for her Catholic school and did the lighting for school productions free of charge. He paid for her university education, vacations, gas for her car etc...after she married Harry, she lied and said she paid for everything. She wrote him that letter and he sat on it for half a year. Meghan leaked the letter herself through her five friends who slagged him off with more lies in People mag. It was only after that attack that he released the letter in order to defend himself.

Meghan wanted her father to disown his other children. He wouldn't do it. Admittedly, he has done some stupid things: (1) He spoiled Meghan rotten and that's exactly the type of person she became; (2) he paid for her education instead of insisting that she work for some extra money; (3) he got the paps to take his photo BEFORE the wedding (I still believe she set him up because she didn't want her to walk her down the aisle); (4) he believed that he really "knew" his daughter but once she got that ring on her finger, all of her bad qualities came bursting out.

I respect Meghan Markle, hear me out. This Kardashian-like figure has conned her way into the royal family and made the whole thing seem like what it always really was, a joke.

Pretty gross how he's constantly given a platform to shit on his own child. And none of you strangers has any right to act like you know their relationship, but from the fact he does this at all regardless of that relationship, makes him such a garbage father. He's vile for doing this to his own kid.

I have a feeling that either the Daily Fail or the BRF or BOTH are paying him to make these statements.

They're truly that despicable.

This is going to haunt Meghan for the rest of your life, whether or not you are a fan of her.

She is not just another celebrity like a movie star or a star athlete is. She's the Duchess of Sussex. That's supposed to be a dignified position.

You're wrong R15. He actually ignored his first two kids for most of their lives. He divorced the Mother of his first family and couldn't be bothered with them. He barely saw his other grandchildren. He hasn't seen them in over a decade. They don't have anything good to say about him. he has disowned his son before. He did such a shitty job with samantha and thomas the fuckhead junior that Sam lost custody of her kids, who refuse to have anything at all to do with her and thomas has racked up half a dozen arrests, can't keep a job and is just an all around piece of shit

Old fat samantha is a scam artist. Even her own Mother despises her. She lost custody because she beat her kids to within an inch of their lives. And don't forget, the day after it was announced Meghan was dating Harry, big fat samantha was telling anyone who would listen that her sister was a horrible person. Despite them not seeing each other for almost a decade. If my family member did that to me, I tell my dad to disown them too

The markle's are shit. But you love them and think they are good people

R5 Andrew - was - not - a - paedophile. That refers ONLY to someone who is sexually attracted to children UNDER TWELVE YEARS OLD.

A dirty old man with a yen for pretty young flesh - absolutely. The girl was 17, the age of sexual consent in New York.

A moron with low inhibition controls further compromised by a sense of entitlement that even his fucking grandmother, the Sovereign of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and her territories beyond the seas, and its Head of State, doesn't seem to have? Absolutely.

But he is not a paedophile, he has never been accused of it, and in fact has not been proven guilty of anything at all in court . . . yet.

Do look up the word "paedophile". It will be most instructive.

Mountbatten may be another matter. He was bisexual and everyone knew it, the way everyone knew Prince George of Kent was. There's enough rumour about his tastes to fuel reasonable suspicion.

What is interesting about Harry is that he has the Mountbatten look - you know, the narrow face with the bony nose and beady eyes. Charles has something of the look, as well. It's really ironic that Harry clings to the fantasy of his mother, when in fact she favoured William, and it is William who looks like her.

Harry really is a mess. He and Meghan are ripe for dramatisation onstage, but it would really take a Ouija board and resurrecting Eugene O'Neill to do full justice to them.

I believe that the DM photographers had to draw straws to pick who would be unfortunate enough to have to go outside and take a few pictures so she would finally go away.

Birds of a feather.

Thomas Markle is a good guy. Yes, he might be a bit bumbling and unpolished, but sit and listen to him. He makes a lot of sense. He's not bumbling any longer; he just has homespun, simple way of talking, but he gets his point across. And he has a right to want to see his daughter and grandchildren. He said Meghan's appearance on Ellen was embarrassing--it was!! He may not have done everything perfectly in the past, but he is not an evil person like his daughter. She has even said he was a good father. She has ghosted him just like she does to everyone. He's not everyone. He's her father.

On the other hand, Meghan Markle is an evil, vindictive, status-climbing, mean cunt.

And if Thomas Markle were better looking, Meghan Markle would have made sure he attended her wedding and have been involved in her life. He doesn't fit into her celebrity-seeking, superficial, put-upon, fake, I'm-a-woman of color narrative that she has created but is not real.

Jeremy Irons has spoken.

These big concerns that grow and for whatever reason implode. I sometimes think Meghan Markle is a bit of a Patrizia.”

Qualifying his comments, the actor said: "She’s moving into a different way of life, a different class, a different nationality and trying to do her best and it is not working, which I think is a huge shame for our monarchy. That’s a parallel story."

[quote]Poor Harry never realized that he was marrying into the Clampett family.

He might have had a notion of a dysfunctional family, but he was in rescue mode and led around by his dick. Remember how he mentioned in the engagement interview that the royals would become "the family she never had."? I did a double take because I had read what she'd written about both parents in her Tig blog. Nothing but glowing terms. She was practically treacly and gushy when she spoke about her father. When the half sister and brother started talking to the press I assumed she was referring to them. Who knows what of stories she filled his gullible head with? What's amazing is how easily she's given to mendacity when there's so much easily available self-generated information out there that refutes what's currently coming out of her mouth. Regardless, the family she never had wasn't good enough just like her family of origin, and both were dispensable when they became inconvenient even if she had to manufacture reasons for both ghostings.
