Oh dear. First Meghan Markle’s father declined an offer to walk his daughter down the aisle for her wedding to Prince Harry. Now, Thomas Markle has performed a royal faux pas and given an interview to the UK press on his son-in-law’s political leanings.
In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Markle is asked by Piers Morgan about Prince Harry’s views on Brexit:
TM: It was just a loose conversation about something we have to try. There was no real commitment to it.
PM: Do you think he was in favour of it?
TM: I think he was open to the experiment
Prince Harry spoke to Thomas Markle about #Brexit. His father-in-law tells @GMB Harry thinks Brexit is ‘an experiment’ that ‘we have to try’.

Mr S wouldn’t call that a ringing endorsement…
