Megan's father: "dropped the royal house and dumped every girl's dream"

Meghan's father, Thomas Merkel, attacked her for her own decision and for her husband Prince Harry to retire from palace life. In an interview given by Channel 5 as part of a documentary program, the father, who has been at odds with his 38-year-old daughter since marrying Harry, "led" the British royal family and threw in the "every girl's dream". He said, "It's disappointing. Every young girl wants to be a princess and she got it, and now she's throwing it, and she seems to be doing it for money."

The interview was filmed after the couple dramatically announced this month that he no longer wanted to take a senior position in the royal family. Yesterday, the palace announced that the two would no longer be active members of the family and would no longer use their royal titles. They will also be forced to finance their own lives, following the wishes of the 36-year-old prince, the sixth in line for the British crown, and his American wife to spend more time in North America.

The interview was taped after the couple's announcement, and Channel 5 released part of the interview on Sunday. The channel said the full movie will be broadcast "in the coming weeks."

Thomas Merkel described the royal family as "one of the greatest institutions ever." According to him, when his daughter married Harry in May 2018, they pledged to be part of the royal family and portray her. "They are destroying it, they are shedding it, they are turning it into something worn. They are turning it into a Walmart with a crown. It's ridiculous, they don't have to.

Earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported to the court his answer to Megan's lawsuit over the publication of a private letter she sent to her father. Her father said he did not expect her to contact him. "

I don't expect to see her trying to reach me, especially now ... or Harry for that matter, but I think they both become lost souls, "Thomas Merkel said." I don't know what they're looking for. I don't think they know what they're looking for. "
