Kensington Palace has not officially announced whether Thomas Markle Snr will attend the royal wedding in May, but as the father–of–the bride the Express.co.uk understands he is likely to walk Meghan down the aisle. Meghan’s uncle Michael Markle – speaking from his home in Palm Bay, Florida – described his older brother Thomas as "happy and excited" about the royal engagement. Thomas Snr lives a low key life in Rosarita, Mexico, and has so far avoided public appearances following the announcement his actress daughter began dating Prince Harry. Mehgan's uncle Michael, a 78-year-old retired US diplomat, said: "He figured that it's less news if he keeps a low profile and I think the family agreed on that, too.
He also revealed that Thomas is fighting a bad knee and added: "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." These latest comments come after retired diplomat lashed out at the former actress for not inviting him to the royal wedding. Michael said it was “uncalled for” after he helped his niece with an internship before her Suits career.

He told the Mail on Sunday: “I knew the ambassador, and I asked him if he could help, as her application was a little on the late side. “That’s why I don’t understand why she has been so indifferent towards me. “It’s uncalled for. I helped her out, and I didn’t ask for anything in return. “I’m upset and surprised about not being selected, but if they don’t want me there, then I don’t want to go.
