Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, is no stranger when it comes to the press. After an eventful Royal Wedding between Meghan and Prince Harry, as well as the drama leading up to it, Thomas is back with a fresh theory about Britains royalty. 

In his latest interview with The Sun, Thomas describes the Royal family that his daughter has just joined as being "cult-like." 

“They are either like Scientologists or the Stepford family.” 

He stated that the family shuts out any incoming opinions or ideas and sticks with themselves only. 

“If they hear anybody say anything they just lock the doors. They need to speak up!” This statement could be a reference to an earlier claim of his where he mentioned that the family had gone completely into "silence mode" since he began delivering interviews to the press

“They are cult-like — like Scientology — because they are secretive,” he added. “They close the door, pull the shades down and put their fingers in their ears so they don’t have to hear."

Thomas continued saying: “Maybe they have a secret handshake too! You cannot ask a question of them — as they won’t answer.”

People reports that earlier this month, Thomas did state that he is in fact not angry with Meghan or her new husband, Prince Harry. More of his anger is actually directed at the other members of the Royal Family. 

“I’m not mad at Harry. I’m not mad at Meghan. I love them. I wish them well,” Thomas said during his interview with The Mail on Sunday. “But as for the rest of it, f— it. I’m done.”

He actually thanked Prince Harry for the advice he had given him in regards to dealing with the paparazzi, although at the time he wasn't too friendly. 

“Harry told me that I should never go to the press. That it would end in tears. He said, ‘They will eat you alive,’ ” he said. “He was right.”

Thomas admitted that he wasn't a fan of what Prince Harry was saying and ended up hanging up on him. Looking back on the situation, he now understands that the staged photos were a bad idea. Unfortunately, Thomas also said that he was still hurt that Meghan would not allow him to make a speech at her and Harry's wedding. 

The infamous father has claimed to have only spoken to Meghan once since the wedding. He stated that he has no way of getting in contact with her anymore and no address to find her. Hopefully, this family can resolve their issues!
