In an explosive interview, Thomas Markle Sr sensationally accused the Duchess of Sussex of freezing him out of her life.

The outspoken 74-year-old then ranted at the Royal Family by claiming the Windsors have tried to “silence” him.

Mr Markle has not spoken to his youngest daughter for 10 weeks after he admitted being paid for staged paparazzi pictures in May.

He failed to attend the Royal Wedding following the row, saying he was receiving treatment for a heart attack.

And speaking from his home in Rosarito, Mexico, he said: “I tell you, I’ve just about reached my limit with Meghan and the Royal Family.

“They want me to be silent, they want me to just go away. But I won’t be silenced. I refuse to stay quiet.

“What riles me is Meghan’s sense of superiority. She’d be nothing without me.

“I made her the Duchess she is today. Everything that Meghan is, I made her.”

His stunning outburst is likely to strain tensions between Mr Markle and the Royal Family further.

Mr Markle, a retired Hollywood lighting director, also dragged Prince Harry’s late mother Princess Diana into the dispute.

He told the Mail on Sunday: “They have Meghan treating her father in a way that Harry’s mother Princess Diana would have loathed.

“That’s not what Diana stood for. Princess Diana is credited with changing the Royal Family but she wasn’t perfect.

“She was still very much one of them. I think Meghan’s the one who’ll bring them into the 21st century, if they’ll let her.”

Taking a dig at his son-in-law, Mr Markle added: “I don’t care if Harry never speaks to me again, I’ll survive.”

Mr Markle said he was proud of his daughter, saying: “Meghan is everything to me. I love her and I always will.”

He added: “I blame the Royal Family. I can see the strain Meghan’s under, it’s in her face.

“The Royal Family has taken her back to the 1930s, and it’s ridiculous.

“Oh, she shows a little shoulder here, a touch of ankle there, but she’s not the Meghan I knew for years.

“You can even see her wondering whether she’s doing it right every time she crosses her ankles rather than her legs.”

Buckingham Palace declined to comment on his remarks when contacted by Express.co.uk.
