However, there's one person we haven't heard from yet:
. Also, Meghan Markle's dad. What does he think of his daughter becoming a princess? Every father wants the best for his daughter, and you can't do much better than a Prince. But maybe Megan's father isn't thrilled about her joining the royal family. All of a sudden, the Markles are thrust into the international spotlight, and not everyone craves that kind of attention attention. Also, British people call soccer "football." What a bunch of weirds.
Well, wonder no more! British tabloid The Mirror tracked down Meghan Markle's reclusive father. Thomas Markle, 73, is a retired Hollywood lighting technician who lives in Mexico, near Rosarito Beach. When reporters tracked him down, he was at a store buying a "four-pack of Heineken and cigarettes," so you know he's down for having a good time. It's pretty impressive the reporters found him. According to Meghan's brother, Tom Jr., their dad "loves her but hates the idea of being in the spotlight." Hope you like this article, Thomas!
To smooth over the J.D. Salinger of the Markle family, the Mirror reporter brought Thomas a present: champagne and tea. Then they got down to business, asking him what he thinks of his daughter marrying Prince Harry. "I hate it. I wish she would have married
," said the angry father. Just kidding. Thomas Markle did not say that. He said, "I'm very pleased. I'm delighted." Then, when asked if he would walk his daughter down the aisle to give her away, the proud father said, "I'd love to."

As you can tell from Meghan's adorable Father's Day post on Instagram, the two have a great relationship. In the caption, Meghan thanks for her father for everything he's given her.
"Thanks for my work ethic, my love of Busby Berkeley films & club sandwiches, for teaching me the importance of handwritten thank you notes, and for giving me that signature Markle nose."
Well, you better thank him for that nose, Meghan! Right now a lot of women are paying a lot of money to get that nose, and you got it for free! Unfortunately, Meghan's father didn't give up any juicy information.
“I’m sorry," Thomas told the reporter. "You know I can’t talk." Well, we don't blame him. Not everyone is prepared for the whirlwind of fame that comes with joining the royal family. But if every interview comes with a gift of champagne and tea, it can't be that bad.
