Her dad’s worst interview yet

-

ON HIS LACK OF CONTACT WITH MEGHAN...

"I'm really hurt that she's at me off completely. I used to have a phone number and text for her personal aides at the palace, but after I said a few critical words about the royal family changing Meghan, they cut me off. Those numbers were disconnect­ed. I have no way of contacting my daughter. Perhaps it would be easier for her if I died. Everybody would be filled with sympathy for her. But I hope we reconcile. I'd hate to die without speaking to her again:'

ON WHY HE WON’T BE SILENCED...

"I've just about reached my limit with Meghan and the royal family. They want me to be silent, they want me to just go away. But I won't be silenced. I refuse to stay quiet. What riles me is Meghan's sense of superiorit­y. She'd be nothing without me. I made her the duchess she is today. Everything Meghan is, I made her."

ON DIANA...

"They [the royal family] have Meghan treating her father in a way Harry's mother, Princess Diana, would have loathed. That's not what Diana stood for. Princess Diana is credited with changing the royal family, but she wasn't perfect. She was still very much one of them."

ON HARRY...

“I don’t care if Harry never speaks to me again, I’ll survive.”

ON MEGHAN’S MUM...

"She's a mummy's girl now and Doria gets a lot of the credit. But Meghan seems to have forgotten she lived with me until Doria and I divorced when she was six, and I was still a big part of her life. She became the woman she is today thanks to everything I did for her."
