MEGHAN Markle has been branded "cruel" by her dad Thomas who insists his daughter holds the power in her relationship with Prince Harry.<\/p>\n
Speaking live from the US on Good Morning Britain today, Thomas Markle made an emotional plea to see his grandkids Archie, 4, and Lillibet, 2. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
And the 79-year-old also told hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley about his complicated relationship with his daughter in the exclusive chat.<\/p>\n
Thomas said he was desperate to be reunited with his grandchildren and thought it was "cruel" he was being denied this by Meghan.<\/p>\n
On his grandchildren he said: "I'm heartbroken. I am very upset. This is a cruel thing to do to a grandparent – to deny the right to see a grandchild.\u00a0<\/p>\n
"In California I can actually sue to see them but I don't want to do that. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"The other thing is I've done nothing wrong. There's nothing that points to say I'm a bad guy.<\/p>\n
"I'm a really loving father and she knows that, and there's no excuse for treating me this way – no excuse to treat grandparents that way."<\/p>\n
Thomas said that despite spending countless years with his daughter, he "never saw the kind of woman she turned into".<\/p>\n
He added: "She's not the person I knew as my daughter."<\/p>\n

So forgive me I guess.\u00a0<\/p>\n "I would always apologise for anything I've done wrong. I'm sorry if I have."<\/p>\n Thomas also opened up about his own health battles, and explained he was managing his recovery following a major stroke last May.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The retired Hollywood lighting director was\u00a0rushed to hospital\u00a0after suffering a massive stroke at his home in Mexico last year.<\/p>\n And he claims that the Duchess of Sussex made no effort to contact him while he suffers from ill health.<\/p>\nParis Fury pays tribute to mum days before she gives birth to 7th baby<\/h3>\n
