Mr Markle, who turns 74 on Wednesday, said all he cares about is to make peace with his estranged daughter and become part of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lives.
And to achieve this, he will keep releasing interviews, despite his daughter and her husband, Prince Harry being said to have grown “frustrated” with his continued appearance on the media.
The former lightning and photography director told TMZ: “I was silent for a full year and the press beat me up every day saying I was a hermit hiding in Mexico, so I gave my story.
“Apparently that interview put the Royal Family in their silence mode… so, I gave another interview to break the silence.
“All they have to do is speak to me.”
Mr Markle believes he forced the Windsors into a media blackout.
He added: “Tomorrow [Wednesday] is my birthday, 74 years old, and I’m enjoying the fact that I can make the entire Royal Family not speak and maybe I can get a laugh out of the Duchess.”
But the royals never directly addressed any of the issues raised by Mr Markle, who in the past months has given numerous interviews, including one where he revealed Meghan hasn’t returned his calls for more than two months.
The only time Kensington Palace replied to Mr Markle was to ask the media for “understanding and respect” for him after he revealed he would not attend his daughter Royal Wedding.
The Duchess’ father also vowed to fly to Britain.
He said: “If I chose in a month, or couple of months, to go to England, I want to see my daughter. I’m thinking about it.
“I don’t care whether she is p***** off at me or not.
“I’m not going to wave flags and make a fool of myself.
“I’d find a hotel room and try to reach them.”
Mr Markle also plans to meet the Queen, saying if she met US President Donald Trump she should also welcome him to England.
And he added: “I’d like to be treated by the Royal Family like Meghan’s father.
“I should be regarded with the respect of any other father of the bride.”
