Thomas Markle has sent the couple his best wishes and was certain that the royal baby boy would serve the people of Britain with grace, dignity and honour.
LONDON - Duchess Meghan's father Thomas Markle has sent his congratulations to his lovely daughter and her husband Prince Harry following the birth of their son, their first child together.
In a statement, Thomas, 74, told The Sun newspaper: "I'm delighted to hear that mother and child are doing well. I am proud that my new grandson is born into the British royal family and I am sure that he will grow up to serve the crown and the people of Britain with grace, dignity, and honour. God bless the child and I wish him health and happiness, and my congratulations to my lovely daughter Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, and God save the Queen.
Thomas has not spoken to his daughter Meghan since she got married to Harry last May, although there has been correspondence by letter. He was unable to attend the ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle after suffering a heart attack in the lead up to the big day.
