Meghan Markle's Dad Compares Himself to Trump
According to another article from Marie Claire, Thomas Markle "dragged the Queen" in his TMZ interview. He conveys that the Queen's choice of meeting Trump and not him is a mistake.
Markle said during the interview, “If the Queen is willing to meet our arrogant and insensitive president she has no excuse not to meet me, I’m nowhere near as bad."
Could it be that his daughter's new lot in life has given her father reason to believe he's moved up a few steps on the social ladder?
After all, he just compared himself to the President of the U.S., who is an important man for the Queen to meet with when it comes to world politics. Markle, on the other hand, is just a relative by marriage.
