HOOKER & DRUG SCANDAL!

FATHER-IN-LAW’S SLEAZY ANTICS THREATEN MARRIAGE

-

MORTIFIED Duchess Meghan faces yet more global disgrace after her ne’er-do-well dad confessed to using drugs, partying at girlie clubs and terrorizin­g his enemies!

Now royal insiders claim Thomas Markle Sr.’s repugnant antics could end his gorgeous daughter’s fairytale marriage to Prince Harry! In a blockbuste­r world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER can reveal Thomas has blown the lid off his secret life of snorting cocaine, threatenin­g violence and visiting X-rated jiggle joints in Asia!

“Have I ever paid for a sex worker? Uh, there was a Playboy Club in the top floor of a hotel in the Philippine­s, [but] I never paid for sex,” the 74-year-old retired TV lighting director admitted.

“I would go upstairs and enjoy myself in the Playboy Club, but not … not for sex. I didn’t get sex out of it.” Thomas — who worked on the prime-time sitcom “Married … with Children” and the daytime soaps “General Hospital” and “Santa Barbara” — also confessed drugs were rampant in the entertainm­ent world.

“In the industry I worked in back in the ’70s and ’80s there was cocaine around a lot,” he conceded.

“And I’m sure that I had an occasional sniff of cocaine.” The shocking admissions are just the latest in an avalanche of black marks sullying the 37-year-old former “Suits” star’s marriage to Harry, 34.

As The ENQUIRER has reported, Meghan’s dad now lives in “exile” in Rosarito, Mexico, after filing for bankruptcy in 2016.

Thomas pals around with a cross-dressing weirdo named Brett Hallett, whose blousewear­ing alter ego goes by the same name as the character Markle’s daughter played on TV — Rachel!

In our issue dated Aug.

20, we revealed Thomas bankrolled Meghan’s downand-out secret “sister” — who vanished after hitting him up for $6,000 in cash!

The multiple scandals have pushed Harry and Meghan to the brink of a quickie divorce, according to a palace insider. “It’s just one thing after another,” the insider told

The ENQUIRER. “Where does it end? When does the shoe finally drop? The prince is under a lot of pressure!” Meghan’s dad was set to give her away when she tied the knot in England on May

19, but canceled when he needed to undergo emergency heart surgery.

At the time, Thomas was already on thin ice with the royals after cashing in by posing for a phony photo session, pretending to prepare for the nuptials! Now palace sources said Meghan will be forbidden from even attending her morbidly obese father’s inevitable funeral.

“The plan is to make sure Meghan is scheduled for an

official visit as an excuse for her nonattenda­nce,” the source spilled.

As for Thomas, the setbacks are apparently taking an emotional toll. When confronted with details about a reporter who interviewe­d him, Thomas flatly denied the sit-down ever occurred. Then he blew up, raging: “He lied to me! He cheated me! He’s a thief, a liar and a coward!

“If he ever comes down here, I’ll break his f---ing legs! And you can quote me on that!”
