"I think she is using them to build her network and build her new shows and I think she’s taken advantage of a very weakened man and has got him to say things that you just shouldn’t be saying on television. "She will disagree of course, and she may even sue me, I don’t care. But the bottom line is she is working Harry."</blockquote> Take a look at Thomas Markle's full interview here: [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yvd2atBDOc]] Markle also claimed that he first <a href="https://vt.co/news/us/meghan-markles-dad-thomas-claims-he-heard-about-granddaughter-lilibets-birth-on-the-radio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heard the news of the birth of his granddaughter, Lilibet, on the radio</a>, stating that he was not notified personally by Meghan, any of her representatives, or a by a representative of the British Royal Family.
