Meghan Markle Faces Harsh Online Attacks from Brother as Family Tensions Surface
Meghan Markle’s estranged brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has launched a caustic online campaign against the Duchess, marking a new low in the ongoing family feud. In a recent YouTube video, Thomas donned a wig and headband and mocked Meghan with derogatory nicknames, revealing deep-seated bitterness within the Markle family.
Commentator Lizzie Cundy criticized the move during a segment on GBN America, indicating that the Markle family’s estrangement from Meghan has left lingering resentments. “Clearly still bitter after being estranged for so long, Thomas is upset with Meghan for how she has treated their father,” Cundy remarked.
The video featured Thomas Markle Jr. ridiculing Meghan, suggesting he was exploiting her fame, and accusing her of neglecting their father after his health crises. Cundy added, “Meghan has not been in touch with her father at all since his heart attacks and strokes, and has completely pushed him out of her life.”
The host, Nana Akua, noted that it has been roughly a decade since Meghan and her brother have spoken, a rift that predates her marriage to Prince Harry. This history underlines a longstanding distance between the siblings.
When questioned about the appropriateness of Thomas Markle Jr.’s videos, Cundy expressed that while they are hurtful and not justified, they stem from genuine feelings of abandonment shared by Meghan’s family, including her sister Samantha. “The family now feels very upset and hurt with her,” Cundy explained.
Cundy also mentioned her own hypothetical disappointment if she were in the siblings’ position, emphasizing the perceived betrayal felt by Meghan’s family. Akua reflected on the nature of the videos, suggesting that despite their harshness, they hint at a perceived betrayal by Meghan towards her family.
Additionally, Cundy raised suspicions of a concerted effort by supporters of Prince Harry and Meghan to silence critics, coinciding with Meghan’s launch of a new lifestyle website focused on cookery, gardening, and jam-making. “Meghan wants all good press and doesn’t want anyone being critical of her whatsoever,” Cundy claimed.
This ongoing saga highlights the complex dynamics and public nature of the disputes within the Markle family, with each new development exposing deeper layers of discord and media scrutiny.
