In an interview Meghan's estranged dad said his grandchildren, Archie and Lili, were 'not pawns' and were 'entitled to the same rights as any other royal.' The retired lighting engineer and Meghan fell out three years ago amid claims he staged photos in return for cash. He hasn't spoken to Meghan since she wed Prince Harry in 2018 at a ceremony he did not attend. He said: "We shouldn’t be punishing [Lili] for Meghan and Harry’s bad behaviour. "This show they’ve been on, they talk about compassion, there’s no compassion for me, no compassion for my family, and no compassion for the world.”
