Thomas Markle, Meghan’s 74-year-old father, was due to walk his daughter down the aisle earlier this year but pulled out following criticism he faced for staging a set of photos, citing health reasons.
Meghan instead chose Prince Charles to be by her side – with only her mother, Doria, receiving an invite to her big day at St George’s Chapel.
Michael suggested the Royal Family may have played a role and told Meghan not to invite any of her father’s family.
He said: ‘I thought I would. But anyhow, I didn’t hear from her. And I don’t know how much the Royal Family had influence on her or not. They didn’t accept anyone else so they couldn’t make an exception for me.’
Michael, who lives in a retirement trailer park, said he had ‘done more’ for Meghan than anyone else – which included using his diplomatic contacts to land her an internship at the American embassy in Argentina when she was 20.
Before the wedding he said: ‘I don’t understand why she has been so indifferent towards me. It’s uncalled for. I helped her out and I didn’t ask for anything in return.’
