MEGHAN Markle’s father Thomas has spoken out again about the rift with his daughter, the newest member of the Royal Family, the Duchess of Sussex, warning he won’t be silenced.

Speaking to The Mail on Sunday from his home in Mexico, Mr Markle says he is unable to contact his daughter, as the phone number he had for her and her personal aides have been disconnected.

He said the numbers had been cut off as punishment for him staging fake paparazzi pictures before the wedding and criticising the Royal family for changing Meghan.

In the interview, Mr Markle, 74, who missed the Royal wedding due to heart surgery, suggested it would be easier for his daughter if he died.

“It wouldn’t be so bad. I have something of a Buddhist philosophy about death. Perhaps it would be easier for Meghan if I died,” he said.

“Everybody would be filled with sympathy for her. But I hope we reconcile. I’d hate to die without speaking to Meghan again.’

He also said despite the punishment from the palace he said: “I won’t be silenced.”

In a separate interview with The Sun, Mr Markle also hit back at comments by TV show host, Sharon Osbourne who attacked Mr Markle’s behaviour, claiming he was an alcoholic.

On her US talk show, Mrs Osbourne urged him to “get clean” and stop embarrassing Meghan.

He fired back at Mrs Osbourne, telling The Sun her comments were ridiculous.

“She should look closer to home before analysing me and my family.,” he said. “Of course I am not an alcoholic. Of all people to call me an alcoholic with the amount of times Sharon’s family has f***** up.”
