Meghan's Estranged Father Thomas Markle Will 'NEVER' Meet His Grandchild, Royal Expert Claims

A royal commentator has claimed that Thomas Markle will never see his grandchild, in an explosive new preview for TLC documentary Meghan and Harry: A Royal Baby Story, which discusses the impending birth of the royal baby.

Duncan Larcombe, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, admitted the likelihood of the Duchess of Sussex's estranged father reuniting with Meghan when she welcomes her firstborn child with Prince Harry this spring, was low.

American lighting director Thomas Markle, 73, has not spoken to Meghan, 37, since he missed her wedding after he was exposed for selling paparazzi pictures, royal biographer Duncan Larcombe admitted the likelihood of them reuniting was low.

Samantha Markle, 54, also appears in the clip, claiming her half sister Meghan has 'hurt the family'.

Discussing the impending birth of the royal baby, Larcombe says: 'I can't think for a moment that Thomas Markle will ever be able to meet his grandson or granddaughter.'

The clip then cuts to Samantha, who snipes: 'You can't hurt people like this and then turn around and flip the script and play victim'.

Elsewhere the reported rift between the Cambridges and Sussexes is also addressed, with celebrity journalist Ashley Pearson admitting of the sisters-in-law: 'I don't think Meghan and Kate will ever be super good friends.'

Meghan's father Thomas has done a number of public interviews discussing his daughter and Prince Harry, even appearing on ITV's breakfast show, Good Morning, and speaking to Piers Morgan.

Meghan has maintained a dignified silence amid an array of public outbursts by both Samantha and her father.

In February Thomas Markle Jr branded sister Samantha 'jealous and bitter' as he begged for the family to be reunited.

Thomas Jr, shares the same father as Meghan and Samantha Markle - who he says changed her name from Yvonne Grant - he recalled how he lived with Samantha, their father and Doria Ragland for 'three to four' years after Meghan was born.

Telling how Samantha hardly knew their half sister and didn't spend any time with her, he said: 'She was very jealous of Meghan from the very beginning and still to this very day.'

Telling how they lost contact and became even more distant when she landed a role on Suits and became a 'Hollywood starlet', Thomas admits that the interviews which saw the family 'badmouth' her drove her further away.
