Thomas Markle, the father of Britain's newest royal Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, said her new husband Prince Harry told him to give U.S. President Donald Trump a chance and that he had an open mind about Britain's exit from the European Union.
Drama over whether Thomas Markle, 73, would attend threatened to overshadow Harry and Meghan's wedding, and the political content of his disclosures about Harry may bring further unease to the royal family, who try and remain politically neutral.
"I was complaining I didn't like Donald Trump. He said 'give Donald Trump a chance.' I sort of disagreed with that, but I still like Harry," Markle told ITV's "Good Morning Britain" in his first broadcast interview since the wedding.
