Thomas Markle Jr feels like 'an a' for attacking Meghan Markle

Thomas Markle Jr. has backtracked on his astonishing attacks of his half-sister to say that he feels like an 'a**' and 'couldn't be more proud' of her on wedding day. 

In an unscrupulous reversal of his earlier public comments, Markle Jr., told The Mirror on Friday that he now 'doesn't blame' Meghan for distancing herself from him when she found fame on Suits. 

'I feel like an a** about it but my true feelings are I couldn't be happier for her. I mean, what are the odds? 

'This is every woman's dream come true, to marry a prince. So I couldn't be more happy and proud of my sister. She's incredible,' he said. 

He spoke in the UK after jetting in before the big day but would not say what his plans for Saturday were. He was not invited to the ceremony or reception

It puts you in a different mindframe and puts a lot of stress you don't even realize on you. Being photographed, followed, your private life turns upside down. 

'It's hard on everybody. Things get done out of frustration then you look back and you know you've made a mistake,' he said. 

He went on to share his 'fondest' memory of hs estranged half-sibling. 

'My favourite and fondest memory of Meghan is - well, it was an unfortunate time with my grandmother passing - but in the two years prior to that we would spend every other weekend together, with my grandmother, and it was a very personal time. 

'She gave selfless attention and cared for my grandmother. It was incredible. Meghan would come into the room and she would light up like a Christmas tree

'It was a great time because that was the real Meghan. It is the real Meghan. I will never forget it and my father will never forget it. It's very special,' he said. 

He said it was 'understandable' that she threw herself into the role of a lifetime on Suits and, despite previous comments, now doesn't blame her for it. 

'When she went to Toronto, and jumped right into that, it was her biggest role. When you jump into Hollywood like that it demands so much of you; it pulls you in every different direction, away from your family and away from contact.

'And that's completely understandable - that's Hollywood. If you ask any actress or actor they'll do that first before anything. We still remain close at heart.

'If I was in Meghan's shoes I would get caught up and forget to make that phone call.

'We didn't have a falling out, we always had a great relationship and I'm very proud of her. I was busy in my life too and I'd relocated from LA.

'Everyone gets busy. It's normal in our family,' he said. 

Considering himself an expert on the occasion, he predicted that the bride's dress would be 'the nicest dress anyone has ever seen'. 

'The dress is probably going to be the most stand out, one of a kind wedding dress ever made and she wouldn't have it any other way. 

'It's going to be the nicest dress anyone has ever seen - a proper princess. I don't think being that it's her second wedding dress has anything to do with it.

'I think this is the one that counts. This is the one that matters,' he said.  

He added that their father, who has had his own share of embarrassment this week after it was revealed he had staged paparazzi photographs and taken money for it, backed out of the wedding at the last minute. 

Thomas Markle Sr. said a recent heart attack, which he suffered days before he was due to walk his daughter down the aisle, kept him from the event.

Markle Sr. said his father was happy Prince Charles stood in to accompany Meghan for some of her long walk down St. George's Chapel. 

'I think my dad would be sad that he can't be here but if there was a ch
