英國王室的新媳婦梅根在過門兒前就是狗仔記者們追逐的焦點，除了身份履歷，她的“戲精”老爸托馬斯•馬克爾也總能曝出猛料。這不，老爺子又出來刷屏了。
前幾天，馬克爾接受了《太陽報》和《每日郵報》的採訪，各種大吐苦水，簡直百無禁忌，效果自然是很轟動滴，英國王室自然也是蒙圈兒滴……
馬克爾表示，經過一系列的媒體曝光，可能梅根結婚後，他就不會再見到自己的女兒了。此前，馬克爾就爆料他幾個月都沒有和女兒說話了，並且還想過原來的生活。他想去休個假，把跟王室有關的喧囂都留在身後。
Meghan Markle's father Thomas has admitted he may never see his daughter again after a series of explosive interviews since the royal wedding. It came after the Duchess's father revealed he had not spoken to his daughter in months and said he wanted his old life back. Mr Markle said he wanted to go on holiday and leave the furore with the royal family behind, he told The Sun.
他說：“我希望祝女兒好運，希望老天保佑她。我也不指望看到她或者收到她的消息，這都沒問題。我只想跟女兒重歸於好。”
He said: 'I want to say good luck and God bless to my daughter. I don't expect to see her or hear back from her — and that's OK. I just want to re-establish the relationship with my daughter.'
除了一副想跟女兒和好的態度，馬克爾繼續曝出吃瓜群眾喜聞樂見的“秘聞”。比如說梅根對新身份很恐懼啦，臉上帶著痛苦的微笑啦，甚至還說女兒可能看了假新聞，懷疑他自己的心臟病是裝出來的。
He claimed in a newspaper interview that his daughter looked ‘terrified’ in her new role and that she wore a ‘pained smile’. Meghan's father also says that he was concerned his daughter may have read false reports that he faked his heart attack.
馬克爾確信自己的採訪會讓王室“鎖上門、落下窗戶、關上遮陽棚”，但是他對此並不後悔。
Thomas said he believed his interviews had “locked the door, pulled the windows down and closed the shades” between him and the royals. But he was unrepentant about his decision to publicly speak out.
馬克爾還說，女兒在有意忽視自己，嫁給哈里後就把電話號碼都更換了。
Speaking to the Mail, Thomas Markle said his daughter was ignoring him and had changed all her numbers since marrying Harry.
本來跟女兒不能見面的新聞，就已經足夠《每日郵報》和《太陽報》發頭條了，而馬克爾不斷“放炮”，還可能給英國王室帶來公關難題。
《每日郵報》網站：我被排除在梅根的生命以外……對我而言還好：在幾次重磅採訪後，馬克爾表示自己可能永遠不會再見到女兒或者收到她的消息。
《太陽報》網站：王室危機！心碎的馬克爾害怕永遠見不到或者不能跟女兒梅根說話——並且相信自己被王室排除在外。
在馬克爾說了很多哈里梅根夫婦以及王室如何對待他之後，他和王室之間的關係降到新低。
Relations between the Duchess of Sussex’s father and the royals sank to a new low after he made a string of claims about how the couple and the Palace have treated him.
當時馬克爾還身處“狗仔風波”中，哈里王子曾致電詢問，結果馬克爾卻說謊了，只說自己在試穿新的帽衫。當馬克爾和狗仔合作擺拍的新聞曝光後，哈里的電話又打過來了。
He admitted that he had lied to Prince Harry when the couple rang him to ask if he had co-operated with photographers, telling him: ‘No, I was being fitted for a new hoodie.’ But days after footage emerged of Mr Markle posing for the shots, Harry called again.
然而，當時的馬克爾正因為心臟病住院，也因此缺席了梅根的婚禮。他說當時哈里王子很憤怒：“如果你聽我的了，就再不會發生這樣的事情。”
By now Mr Markle was in hospital after a heart attack which had forced him to pull out of walking his daughter down the aisle days before the wedding. He claims the furious prince told him: ‘If you had listened to me this would never have happened.’
馬克爾顯然很不爽，他說道：可能我死了對你們更好吧，那麼你們就可以假裝悲傷！然後他就掛了電話……
Mr Markle said he was upset at the call and replied: ‘Maybe it would be better for you guys if I was dead... then you could pretend to be sad’ before hanging up.
坦白講，估計到現在也沒幾個人能撂英國王室的電話……這樣的經歷，也足以讓網友們翹首以待：王室該咋回應？
《每日郵報》趕緊送來跟蹤報道：針對馬克爾的最新爆料，王室方面考慮“更激進”的策略。
不過，具體是什麼樣的策略，各位只能準備花瓜子飲料小板凳——拭目以待了。
