Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Britain's Duchess of Sussex, said on Monday that his daughter and her husband Prince Harry had hurt Queen Elizabeth and the royal family by stepping back from royal duties in such a sudden way.

"I am embarrassed," Markle told ITV. He added that he did not understand the move by Harry and Meghan.

"The break from the royals is going to cause far more problems," Markle said.

"I really miss my daughter," Markle said.
