In a recent public outburst, Meghan Markle's estranged sister, Samantha Markle, has once again taken aim at the Duchess of Sussex. The bone of contention this time revolves around Meghan's continued distance from their ailing father, Thomas Markle.
Meghan Markle, who married Prince Harry in 2018, has been at the center of family controversies for years. The rift with her father became public knowledge when he allegedly coordinated with paparazzi shortly before Meghan's royal wedding. Since that incident, Thomas Markle, now 79, has faced severe health challenges, including a stroke. Despite his health decline, Meghan has yet to reconcile with him.
Samantha Markle voiced her frustrations on Shaun Attwood's Official YouTube podcast. She expressed her disbelief at Meghan's actions, stating, "For her not to make it right in my opinion is so unbelievably, it's like something Stephen King would write, it is evil. It is fundamentally evil - there is no other way to slice this apple." Samantha further warned Meghan, suggesting that she would regret her actions in the future.
Thomas Markle, earlier this year, shared his feelings about the ongoing feud with his daughter. He mentioned that he wouldn't want Meghan to be involved in his burial, referencing her claim of having "lost" him in the Netflix docuseries she produced with Prince Harry. Despite his strong words, Thomas expressed a desire to sit down and talk with his daughter, questioning what it would take for her to reach out if not his current health crises.
Adding to the family's complex dynamics, Thomas revealed that the last communication he received from Meghan was a letter he described as "hateful." However, in Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare," he defended his wife, asserting there was nothing in the letter to be ashamed of. Thomas countered this by suggesting that there were other cruel elements in the letter that he chose not to disclose, more for Meghan's protection than his own.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, after stepping back from their royal duties, relocated to California in 2020. Their move and subsequent actions, including interviews and productions, have kept them in the spotlight, often highlighting the strained relationships within the Markle family.
The ongoing family saga continues to capture public attention, with many hoping for a resolution that might bring the Markles back together. However, as time progresses and statements become more pointed, the possibility of reconciliation seems increasingly remote.
