Thomas Markle vows to give monthly interviews if Meghan doesn't contact him
"If I don’t hear from someone in 30 days, then I will try again," Thomas threatens.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is keeping a low profile in Canada following her dramatic exit from royal duties.
While the duchess and her husband, Prince Harry, are avoiding the press - for now - her estranged father, Thomas Markle, continues to talk to the media.
The 75-year-old says his daughter continues to ignore his attempts to reach out to her.
"After this interview, if I don’t hear from someone in 30 days, then I will try again. I don’t want to sit in silence in my living room for the rest of my life waiting for someone to get back to me," he told 'Good Morning Britain'.
Thomas added that there is no other way for him to reach his daughter except through the media. He said he also tried contacting Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, to no avail.
"‘I’ve spoken and sent letters to Doria to get to Meghan - and that hasn’t happened as well. So no, I’m at their mercy," he told hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid.
‘I’ve spoken and sent letters to Doria [the mother of the Duchess of Sussex] to get to Meghan - and that hasn’t happened as well. So no, I’m at their mercy.’

Thomas also slammed claims that Meghan was being bullied by the British media.
"I am having trouble buying that.... I think England is far more liberal than the United States racist. I don’t think that she is being bullied in any way or any shape because of racism. "

Thomas took another swipe at his daughter and son-in-law. He said that Meghan and Harry's decision to step back from the royal family was "embarrassing".
"I'm feeling very sorry for the queen," he said.
