Thomas Markle Sr, 74, said he wasn’t sure there was any animosity between the two women but added that if indeed there is, "they should put their differences aside". He also said that he is heartbroken he can’t step in to help. Thomas Markle went on to beg the Duchess of Sussex, whom he hasn't spoken to since she got married to Prince Harry, to pick up the phone. He warned that he would "keep talking" and "probably get louder" until he is back in contact with his daughter.
