But now he has backtracked on his initial comment and the Express reported that he said the following:

"I’ve been told by several lawyers that grandparents have sued to see their grandchildren and won in California. I’m not going to do that. I’m not going to do that. "I don’t want to involve my grandchildren as pawns in a game. They’re not part of a game. They’re my grandchildren - I want to see my grandchildren.”

In related new, YEN.com.gh previously reported that Thomas Markle claims that he was shocked to learn that his daughter had given birth to her second child over the radio.

He didn't understand why his daughter and son-in-law were so distant from him that they wouldn't even let him know the good news personally.

Thomas wants to mend fences between himself and his daughter and Prince Harry. He said he hasn't spoken to his daughter since two days before her royal wedding to Harry in May 2018.

He hopes that one day he will be able to meet his grandchildren and reckons that he would make a pretty good grandpa according to Huffington Post.
