Meghan Markle can only ‘hurt’ family but her estranged sister won’t mind a reunion

The latest wave of controversy surrounding Meghan Markle involves a series of accusations from her half-sister, Samantha Markle, who has once again spoken out about the Duchess in an interview with The Daily Mail. According to Samantha, Meghan has not only been cold and controlling with her own family but also distanced herself from them, including her father, Thomas Markle, who is reportedly in declining health.

Samantha claims that Meghan treats her American relatives with the same indifference she allegedly showed to the Royal Family, including Queen Elizabeth. She described how Meghan has cut ties with her family for years, despite the death of their mother earlier this month. Samantha, in particular, is worried that Meghan won’t reconcile with their father before it’s too late. “You can’t get back that time. It leaves a hole in your heart,” she said, highlighting the urgency as Thomas Markle’s health deteriorates. Thomas, who has suffered two heart attacks and a stroke, has been estranged from Meghan since 2018, largely due to his involvement in a staged photo shoot ahead of Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry.

Thomas Markle has long expressed his desire to reconnect with Meghan, even saying he would be happy with just a photograph of his grandchildren. However, despite his health issues and desire to make amends, Meghan has not taken steps to mend their relationship. Samantha believes that if Meghan were to reach out to her father, it would be for the wrong reasons, possibly to “hurt” him again. She’s skeptical that Meghan’s actions would be genuine, especially after so many years of estrangement.

This ongoing family drama continues to fuel Meghan’s public image as a villain, especially in light of her Netflix docuseries with Harry, where she shared personal moments, including mocking a curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth. Samantha has criticized Meghan’s treatment of the Royal Family and believes it mirrors how she has treated her own relatives, leading her to express sorrow over the missed opportunities for love and reconciliation.

Despite the years of conflict, Meghan and Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family remains a point of contention, and Meghan’s actions have continued to draw sharp criticism from those within her family. As Meghan grapples with the fallout from her personal and public choices, Samantha’s latest comments suggest that there may be little hope for healing the rift with their father before it’s too late.

Samantha Markle’s critiques of Meghan seem to reflect a wider sentiment among those who have been affected by the Duchess’s distance. However, it’s also important to note that Thomas Markle’s past actions—especially selling information to the paparazzi—complicate the narrative and paint a picture of a family fractured by betrayal, misunderstandings, and unresolved tensions. It remains unclear whether any reconciliation is possible or whether it would be sincere after so much time has passed.
