Tom Bower, a royal biographer – who is also in contact with Thomas – appeared on Good Morning Britain today.

During his appearance, he spoke about Thomas’ stroke and recovery, and his planned ultimatum for Meghan.

When asked on the state of Meghan’s relationship with her father, Tom revealed that it isn’t good.

“Well I’m in touch with him [Thomas] for my book for some time and he’s very upset and he’s very unhappy,” he said.

“He was a very loving father to Meghan and supported her throughout her childhood when her mother wasn’t there,” he continued.

He then went on to say that Thomas paid for Meghan’s school fees, and is therefore “very upset” that he hasn’t seen his grandchildren yet.
