His brother Michael, 78, from Palm Bay, Florida, told The Sun On Sunday: “I know Thomas feels happy and excited about the engagement.

“He and Meghan have a good relationship, and they talk weekly so she keeps him up to date.”

Family members said Thomas splits his time between Rosarito Beach in Mexico and LA.

Twice-married Thomas has yet to meet Harry.
