THIS is how much Thomas Markle was paid for that GMB interview

Meghan Markle's dad was paid THOUSANDS for the exclusive interview

ITV

Thomas Markle appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday morning for his first TV interview.

Meghan Markle’s father opened up about his relationship with his daughter, and how he felt about missing the royal wedding.

Thomas flew from his home in Mexico to a luxurious hotel in California where he gave the exclusive interview, and now, it’s been reported that he received £7,500 for taking part.

Piers Morgan confirmed to the MailOnline that the retired lighting director pocketed “a few thousand pounds” for the interview.

But, Piers insisted that his “ultimate motive was not money”, and said that Thomas had turned down significantly higher offers from American media outlets.

According to reports, Kensington Palace were deliberately kept in the dark about Thomas’ GMB interview.

Meghan’s dad also admitted that he didn’t tell Meghan about the interview prior to the live broadcast, but hoped that he hadn’t offended her or any members of the Royal family.
