Meghan Markle's dad Thomas congratulates his 'lovely daughter' on birth of royal baby

Thomas Markle has broken his silence on the birth of his grandson today.

The Duchess of Sussex gave birth to a baby boy at 5.26am.

There was no mention of Baby Sussex's grandfather in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace.

In a statement Thomas, 74, said: “I'm delighted to hear that mother and child are doing well.

“I am proud that my new grandson is born into the British royal family and I am sure that he will grow up to serve the crown and the people of Britain with grace, dignity, and honour.

“God bless the child and I wish him health and happiness, and my congratulations to my lovely daughter Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, and God save the Queen.” 

It is thought the relationship between Thomas and his daughter has been strained ever since it was revealed that he posed up for paparazzi photos of him preparing for the royal wedding in Windsor last year. 

Days after the story broke it was was reported that he had suffered a heart attack and would not attend - meaning Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, was the only member of her family to attend.
