Meghan Markle’s brother has written to the Queen begging her to ‘convince’ his sister to fly their ‘sick’ dad to the UK amid their rift, it is claimed.
Thomas Markle Jnr, 52, has reportedly pleaded with Her Majesty to persuade Meghan, 37, to bring their father Thomas Markle Snr, "over to the Palace".
He has ‘urged’ her to do so to allow the 74-year-old – who he claims is not in good health – to meet the Royal Family and spend time with his daughter.
He fears "if Meghan waits too long it will be too late", according to reports.
Thomas Jnr, who penned an explosive letter to Prince Harry ahead of the royal wedding in May, has also expressed concerns over his estranged sister.
He fears that she "may feel like she’s being held prisoner and turning into a zombie" in her new life as one of the royals, The Sun reports.
He told Star magazine that the pressure on her has to be "overwhelming".
And he claimed she was being “treated differently" than Kate Middleton.
In his message to the Queen, he reportedly wrote: "I urge you to convince Meg to bring her father over to the Palace for him to meet the Royal Family and spend time with him.
“I recently went to see him after hearing of his heart surgery and his health is not good. I fear if Meghan waits too long it will be too late as Tom Sr feels like her won’t see her again.”
Thomas Jnr is also said to have urged the Palace to give a "royal title" to his dad, who "deserves to be treated like royalty, like he treated Meghan".
And he called for the same for Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland .
His comments come just months after he told his sister’s then-groom-to-be that their big day would be the "biggest mistake in royal wedding history".
In an open letter, he also told Harry it was "not too late" to call off the May 19 union – and slammed his half-sister as "jaded" and "shallow".
The letter, shared with In Touch Weekly magazine at the time, read: "As more time passes to your royal wedding, it becomes very clear that this is the biggest mistake in royal wedding history. "

"Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you," it continued.
"I’m confused why you don’t see the real Meghan that the whole world now sees. Meghan’s attempt to act the part of a princess like a below C average Hollywood actress is getting old."
