The 80-year-old was unable to walk Meghan down the aisle and the couple have not spoken to him since.
Thomas has never met his son-in-law Harry or his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet.
King Charles has also rarely seen his grandchildren by Harry and Meghan since their move to California in 2020.
Thomas told the Mail: “Neither of us deserves the treatment we’ve received.
“Why have they treated not only me but the Royal Family and the King so badly?
“Archie and Lilibet have two grandpas who want to see them, one of whom is the King of England.”
Thomas lives alone in Rosarito on Mexico’s Pacific coast – just 250 miles from the Sus𝑠e𝑥es’ mansion in Montecito.
The Emmy-winning lighting director will turn 80 next month – but is suffering the effects of a serious stroke two years ago.
Thomas said he would love Meghan to call on his birthday, but does not expect her to be in touch.
How tall are the Royals?
He added he would now be happy with a photograph of his grandchildren even if he cannot meet them.
Meghan lived full-time with Thomas from the age of 11 while her mum Doria travelled for work.
Thomas said Meghan grew up on sets with him and got her Hollywood start through a director he knew.
Father and daughter fell out after Thomas posed for paparazzi pictures ahead of Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
He admits the snaps were a mistake and says he has apologised repeatedly for them.
Just weeks from his 80th birthday, Thomas now sees little hope of reconciliation with Meghan.
He will instead spend the day with his son Thomas Jr at his Mexico home.
Thomas will also call his eldest daughter Samantha, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and is unable to travel from Florida.
