Furious Thomas Markle slams Meghan and Prince Harry for ‘insulting’ the Queen and Brits over royal brand row
FUMING Thomas Markle has slammed Meghan and Harry for "insulting" the Queen over their Sussex Royal brand row.
The dad hit out at his daughter in a furious outburst after she and Harry were forced to confirm they would not use the word Royal after quitting the Firm.
Speaking to from near his home in Mexico, Markle blasted: "I'm very upset with Harry and Meghan right now.
"[They] don't have a right to speak to the Queen the way they've spoken to her. I think it's an insult to the Queen and the British people."
Markle, who has repeatedly slammed the couple after being shunned from their wedding in 2018, went on to say Meghan and "dumped"; him and is now "dumping the royal family".
It comes after he warned he will keep cashing in on the Megxit row as he begged Meghan to contact him.
ROYAL ROW
The royal row erupted last week when the couple were forced to ditch their Sussex Royal brand when the Queen hired top lawyers to ban it.
Pals said that Meghan believed there was no legal comeback for the Queen if they continued to use the term after quitting on March 31.
But her and Harry later released a lengthy statement on their website on Friday night where they confirmed they would not be using the word "royal".
The couple also appeared to throw a perceived dig at being treated differently from other working royals, including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
And the bombshell statement pointed out that while no longer able to use the word royal, Prince Harry would remain sixth-in-line to the throne.
RETURN TO UK
Harry and Meghan are due to return to the UK to complete their last royal engagements before their March 31 deadline.
The first return to royal duties for Meghan will be on March 5, with the couple heading to the Endeavour Fund awards in London.
As part of the busy six engagements in 11 days, Harry, 35, is expected to attend the opening of the Silverstone Experience - a Brit motor racing museum - with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton on March 6.
And the next day, he will be joined by wife Meghan, 38, for the Mountbatten Festival of Music at Royal Albert Hall.
Meghan is then set to enjoy a solo outing on March 8 when the former actress will mark International Women's Day, however details of the event are yet to be announced.
And the couple's final engagement on March 9 will see them join the Royal Family, including the Queen, for the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey.
It comes after Harry and Meghan axed their 15 UK staff, in their surest sign they will never return to Britain to live.
