According to reports, Meghan Markle has cut ties with her siblings and father after tying the knot with Prince Harry in 2018. While she hasn’t been on speaking terms with her father Thomas Markle, as well as her brother, Thomas Markle Jr., and sister Samantha Markle, Meghan’s dad recently pointed out a very “cruel” family snub from the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan Markle’s Issues With Her Siblings
Thomas Jr. and Meghan reportedly haven’t been on speaking terms for over a decade. The family feud between the two has recently been re-ignited as Meghan’s brother repeatedly hits her with insults online.
Meanwhile, Samantha launched a libel suit against her sister for an interview Meghan conducted in 2021 with Oprah Winfrey.
Still, the case was dismissed by a Tampa, Florida judge as Samantha “failed” to identify any statements that supported her claim.

British royal family news shows that Meghan Markle’s brother Thomas Jr. has as much use for her as she does for him. He’s released a brutal YouTube video in which he pretends to be Meghan, a woman who told Oprah Winfrey that she is an “only child.”
Thomas’ 90 minute video shows him in a wig and tiara as he says “My name’s Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch” and to be clear those are his words not ours.
With a pillow under his shirt as he exclaimed “I was just showing off the new bump I bought used on eBay out of Montecito.” Reaction to the video was mixed with one poster writing “Good for him! And it shows exactly what class of people Meg comes from.”

Meghan Markle’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has been criticized for mocking the duchess in a childish video uploaded to YouTube last week.
The 87-minute video shows Thomas wearing a wig and tiara, mocking Meghan. Thomas stuffs a pillow in his shirt to simulate a pregnant belly.
“My name’s Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch,” Thomas says in the video. “I was just showing off the new bump I bought used on eBay out of Montecito.”
In the past, Thomas has shared conspiracy theories about Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, including speculation that she faked her births. Thomas has also mocked Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland. On one occasion, Thomas called Meghan’s brand America Riviera Orchard “American River Whore Orchard.”
Despite not having a relationship, Meghan has been the topic of several of her half-brother’s videos. Users have called for Thomas’ account to be taken down for bullying and abuse.

Prince Harry and King Charles have reunited after spending months apart. Harry recently flew to London to be with his father amid Charles’ cancer diagnosis, and while the two men have not always been on great terms, this is the one situation that could undoubtedly bring them together.
Harry arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport on February 6, and he and Charles spoke for about 45 minutes; Harry was spotted back at Heathrow on February 7, presumably to fly back to California.

Thomas Markle is once again begging for his daughter’s attention. Meghan Markle’s estranged father wants to fix their fractured relationship and is making a public statement with the hope of doing so.
The 78-year-old makes the “death bed” plea to his estranged daughter in the dramatic trailer, released on Friday, for an interview with Australia’s “7News Spotlight”, set to air this coming Sunday.
Meghan’s father, who suffered a stroke last year and is seemingly in poor health, is seen holding childhood photos of Meghan as he asks, “How can I fix this?”
The program claims that “treasured memories, secret tapes and home truths are all coming out,” and Thomas, Meghan’s half-siblings, Samantha Markle and Thomas Markle Jr., can be seen sitting together watching some of those tapes.
“She would still be a waitress if it wasn’t for Dad,” Samantha says.

Netflix’s much-talked-about docuseries Harry & Meghan dropped Thursday, and although the first three episodes revealed little new information, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s blunt criticism of the British press has elicited a predictably hysterical reaction from U.K. newspapers and some politicians.
In the series, Prince Harry describes how the U.K. tabloids would routinely exaggerate, distort and fabricate stories about the couple. He adds that newspapers would give reporters the fanciful title of “Royal Correspondent” to give their claims “extra credibility.” The Sussexes also recount repeated invasions of their privacy and being hounded by paparazzi.
Prince Harry adds that the royal family’s view on the hostile press coverage of his relationship with Markle was “a rite of passage.”

After Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain Monday and begged her to contact him, the Duchess of Sussex's older brother, Thomas Markle Jr., is trying his luck.

Poor Meghan Markle! The royal wedding on Saturday, May 19 was watched by millions, so it was no surprise that Meghan was a little anxious to walk down the aisle to wed Prince Harry. "She was a nervous wreck the morning of the wedding, but once she got through the vow part, she calmed down," a source told Us Weekly. "She was happy during the reception and was able to relax." (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Meghan may have been on edge because there was so much drama leading up to the royal nuptials. Just days before the wedding, she had to announce that her father, Thomas Markle Jr., backed out of walking her down the aisle last minute. "Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding.

Newly minted Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is probably relieved she didn't invite nephew Tyler Dooley — son of her estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr. — to the royal wedding. According to reports, Tyler was caught with a knife in London just hours after Meghan said "I do" to Prince Harry. Apparently, Tyler had traveled across the pond with the intention of appearing on TV — presumably to talk about his relation to the United Kingdom's newest royal. And on the wedding night, he went to the Bacchus nightclub in the area of Kingston with his mother, Tracy, and his older brother, Tj. According to The Sun, the 25-year-old realized the bouncers at the door would discover the four-inch blade he was carrying, so he fessed up about it. And he reportedly said he was just heeding the advice of President Donald Trump. "I just brought it because Donald Trump said London was like a war zone,...

Well, this is awkward! Meghan Markle ended up not extending an invitation to her May 19 royal wedding to her estranged half-sister, Samantha Grant, after In Touch Weekly reported that she wouldn't. Samantha was not at the nuptials over the weekend — and neither was Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr. A source previously told the entertainment magazine that Meghan, 36, was "not planning to invite Samantha to her and [Prince Harry]'s wedding." Meghan and Samantha — who share the same father, Thomas Markle Sr. — have reportedly been estranged since 2008. Meghan's father also bailed on the event at the last minute, so Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, unfortunately, sat alone at the St. George's Chapel ceremony. (Photo Credit: YouTube) In a previous interview before the wedding, Samantha said she had "no idea" if she'd be included in Meghan's nuptials to Harry, 33. "I can’t imagine how anyone would anticipate a normal, traditional, royal wedding. I...

Thomas Markle Jr. and Samantha Grant (who goes by Samantha Markle on social media) are the children of Thomas Markle Sr., Meghan's father, from a previous marriage of his. Thomas Jr. is a window fitter from Oregon, Samantha is a Florida woman living with multiple sclerosis, and both sibs have aired a lot of thoughts about Meghan leading up to the ceremony. (Photo Credit: YouTube) As In Touch reported, Thomas Jr. wrote a letter to Prince Harry, warning him he was about to make "the biggest mistake in royal wedding history" and saying Meghan is a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage.

On Wednesday, May 16, Meghan Markle's half-sister Samantha was hospitalized with a "possible" broken ankle after she claimed she had a run-in with the paparazzi on a Florida highway. However, it is now being reported that there is no evidence to back up Samantha's claims that a car accident took place. According to Samantha's boyfriend, Mark, who was driving at the time, the couple was driving home when a photographer "veered in front" of them near a toll booth causing him swerve and hit a concrete barrier. Meghan's sister was in the passenger seat and hit the windshield and fell to the floor mat. Samantha, who suffers from multiple sclerosis was unable to lift herself up and allegedly twisted her foot. Mark took her to the hospital — a photo of which miraculously appeared on TMZ's homepage shortly after. Now, it seems there is no evidence to prove that any sort of accident took place.

After penning a not-so-flattering open letter to Prince Harry — warning him that it’s “not too late” to back out of the royal wedding — Meghan Markle's estranged half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. seems to have had a change of heart. In Touch has obtained another letter — this time written to the former Suits actress — sharing fond memories of their childhood and his well wishes for her big day. The letter, dated May 3, states: Dear Meg, It’s true that you and I have become “distant” along with the rest of our family members over the years. But we are all still family. With all the memories of watching you grow up, it’s hurtful that you would forget about us.
