Proud Thomas Markle reveals video of Meghan starring in her school play aged 16
PROUD Thomas Markle played The Sun a video of Meghan acting aged 16.
The tape — simply marked “feisty Meg” — shows her on stage at Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles.
Meghan, in a black dress and pearls – with fur draped over her arm — comically argues with her co-stars.
At one point, she raises her voice in an anguished scream.
Thomas explained: “It’s three girls acting out being in a dressing room. Meghan would always play something glamorous.
“I would film pretty much every performance Meghan was in.”
The curtain comes across then Meghan reappears in a white leotard, lies down and begins stretching on stage.
He said: “She’s playing a part in a spa. This is funny actually — very dramatic. I think Meghan would be shocked if she sees this!”
'EVERYTHING WILL COME OUT'
Thomas also spoke to The Sun about the possibility of reuniting with his daughter during a bitter High Court showdown.
He confirmed he will give evidence against Meghan if she presses ahead with her plans to sue a UK newspaper, saying: “I wish it hadn’t come to this, but I’ll testify.
“When me and Meghan end up in a courtroom together, it will be quite stunning for everybody.
“It will be emotional – I don’t know how we will both accept it.
He also warned that "everything will come out" if they come face to face.
The ex-Hollywood lighting director, 75, broke his silence on the legal battle over a letter the Duchess of Sussex penned to him, detailing her heartbreak at their rift.
It would be the worst place to have to meet Meghan and Harry - but it might come down to that because I will testify.
Thomas Markle
Thomas originally kept silent about Meghan’s five-page note posted to his home in Rosarito, Mexico.
Six months later its existence was revealed in US magazine People, in an article anonymously quoting five friends of Meghan.
Thomas felt the nameless pals — allegedly authorised to speak out by the Duchess — attacked him and misrepresented the letter, prompting him to take it to The Mail on Sunday.
He said: “I went to the paper because I wanted to defend myself for what was being said by those five people. I’m tired of being lied about and not being defended.
“I think Meghan had a huge role in it. Now it is my obligation to turn up and give evidence.
“I put the newspaper in this position by offering up a portion of that letter, which led to them being sued.
"This is my fault so I have to stand up for myself. It is a responsibility thing. Maybe it’s because I was a Boy Scout.”

Thomas has not spoken to Meghan, 38, since they fell out in the run up to the royal wedding 20 months ago, but he believes he has an “obligation” to testify against “lies”.
Now he promises he’ll stand against her in the witness box, after she sued a newspaper which printed part of the letter.
It sets up the prospect of father and daughter spilling family secrets at London’s High Court, in a clash - dubbed the ‘trial of the century’ – that the Royal Family will be dreading.
