Thomas Markle has told Meghan to fly back to Britain and help the Queen tackle the coronavirus pandemic – instead of going ahead with plans to settle in a LA mega-mansion.
The 75-year-old called for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to resume their roles as senior Royals – and opened up on his fears that the couple and baby Archie will be struck down by Covid-19.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "I think Meghan and Harry should go back to the Royal family in the UK and be supportive of the Queen. "I think they should be in England at this time and not in LA." He added the couple can always "join the A-list and make lots of money" but being celebrities will never give them the respect they would have as Royals.
