“I think Oprah Winfrey is playing Harry and Meghan,” Thomas said. “I think she’s using them to build her network and build her new shows. I think she’s taking advantage of a very weakened man and getting him to say things that you just shouldn’t be saying on television.”
He continued, “She’ll disagree, of course, and she may even sue me. I don’t care. But, the bottom line is she is working, Harry.”
According to another interview he had with TMZ, Thomas also said that he only found out about the royal couple welcoming their second baby, Lilibet “Lili” Diana, through Harry and Meghan’s public statement, which was incredibly frustrating for him.
“I see them both ghosting their families completely, and now they are alone in a huge house where they can probably accommodate 20 people in, but it’s just the 4 of them. I don’t think they are going to have relatives over for a barbeque next week or next month.”

According to Complex, Meghan and her father have a history of a problematic relationship. Over the years, Thomas has repeatedly sought out the media for attention and continues to speak about his family drama.
In 2018, he reportedly spilled the tea to the Daily Mail and said he was afraid he’d never meet his grandkids and that his daughter would probably be happier if he were dead. “Everybody would be filled with sympathy for her,” he told the outlet.” But I hope we reconcile. I’d hate to die without speaking to Meghan again.”
