FRESH START

-

MEGHAN Markle’s estranged father says the next time she will see him is when he is “lowered into the ground”.

Speaking on Channel 5’s Thomas Markle: My Story, tonight at 9pm, he adds: “Every young girl wanted to become a princess, and she got that, and now she’s tossing that away... for money. When they got married, they took on an obligation, and the obligation is to be part of the royals and to represent the royals.” including the environmen­t and the fight against HIV and AIDS. The terms of separation from the monarchy were harsher than both Harry and Meghan had lobbied for when they announced Megxit.

They will have to repay the cost of a £2.4million refurbishm­ent of Frogmore Cottage, in the grounds of Windsor Castle, and will now rent it from the Queen.

The Met Police is continuing to pay for the couple’s security detail but sources have confirmed “there is no blank cheque arrangemen­t”.

Discussion­s are also taking place to finalise whether Harry and Meghan can continue to use their “Sussex Royal” brand, which they have built up since they married 20 months ago.

They have amassed 11million followers on Instagram and trademarke­d more than 100 items, potentiall­y to take into the corporate world.

But Thomas Woodcock, Garter Principal King of Arms, who ensures commercial concerns do not sully the royal brand, told The Times: “I don’t think it’s satisfacto­ry. You either are [royal]

or you’re not.”
