Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly arrived in the UK, as the much-publicised spat with her father moves up a notch.

Hello! magazine reported the couple touched down on a commercial flight, and did not appear to have their children Archie and Lilibet with them.

They are expected to appear at events in London and Manchester, and will also visit Germany to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s father Thomas Markle has slammed Meghan’s claims she “lost him”, accusing her of dumping him and throwing people “under the bus”.

His comments came after comments by the Duchess of Sussex in her controversial interview in The Cut magazine and amid reports Meghan and Harry have landed in the UK.

In the interview, Meghan said: “Harry said to me, ‘I lost my dad in this process.’”

Hours after the interview was published, Omid Scobie – the Sussex’s ally and unofficial mouthpiece – claimed Meghan’s quotes had been misreported.

Speaking to the Mail Online, Thomas Markle, 79, said: “She didn’t ‘lose’ me, she dumped me.

“I am not lost. She knows where to find me. My number hasn’t changed.

“I would love to hear from my daughter and meet my son-in-law and my grandkids for the first time.”

Meghan’s relationship with her father broke down after he leaked a letter to The Mail on Sunday, begging him to stop speaking to reporters.

He famously pulled out of her wedding at the last minute after suffering a heart attack.

In the bombshell interview last week, Meghan went on to talk about how “forgiveness is really important”.

She said: “It takes a lot more energy to not forgive. But it takes a lot of effort to forgive.”

But Mr Markle, who suffered a stroke earlier this year, said his daughter had caused him pain and stress.

He said: “If she really believes in forgiveness, then why can’t she forgive me?

“I have apologised to her multiple times for any hurt and pain I might have caused her.

“I love my daughter. She talks about forgiveness, so why not start with her own family? What about forgiving me?

“Every time she gives another interview it brings up all the pain and causes so much stress.

“I am still very sick. I am going to speech therapy and doing the best I can to get better, but it is all very upsetting.”

Mr Markle’s comments came as the Sussexes get ready for another whirlwind UK trip.

The Sussexes are set for a jam-packed five days of engagements from Monday when they’ll be staying at Frogmore Cottage, their home on the Queen’s Windsor estate.

The pair will be a short drive from Prince William’s new residence by the warring brothers are not expected to meet.
