Meghan Markle’s brother Thomas Markle Jr’s shocking confession: ‘My Dad doesn’t approve of Prince Harry’
Meghan Markle’s half-brother hasn’t been shy about discussing his royal sibling on Big Brother VIP. Only two episodes of Big Brother VIP and celebs are dropping bombshells left, right, and center.
The most interesting of these open discussions is that of Thomas Markle Jr., who hasn’t been hesitant about attacking his royal half-sibling, Meghan Markle, and her husband, Prince Harry.
Celebrities were forced to go through a press junket with Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa on Tuesday night’s episode of Big Brother VIP, and no question was off-limits. After the hosts questioned about his upbringing with Meghan, Thomas didn’t hold back when it came to discussing his famous half-sister.
“I was 15 when she was born so I fed her, babysat just the normal family stuff, but I grew up in a divided home my parents split up when I was really young as well,” Thomas explained, adding, “My Dad made sure people got together for the holidays and the important things.”
When asked if he’s ever interacted with Prince Harry, Thomas revealed, “No, not me, my father did. My Dad doesn’t approve of him.”
“My father says that he couldn’t even protect those chickens in their backyard if he needed to.”
Housemates watching from the Big Brother house were shocked by the revelations, with Caitlyn Jenner noting, “Well, this is going viral.”
Thomas continued, “He wants Harry to do things properly like call him up on the phone, go see him in person and say I want to take your daughter’s hand in marriage.”
“He cherishes Meghan, he worships her, and I feel sorry for him in the fact that she won’t even pick up the phone and call my father and he’s just in the dark as much as everybody else is.”
The shocking revelations didn’t end there, with Fitzy and Wippa questioning Thomas about the infamous letter he wrote to Prince Harry.
“The reason I wrote that letter is that my private life went from private to in the paper,” he explained.
“There were quite a few lies that were told about us, so I got a hold of the palace and I said could you please do something about the paparazzi.
“The response I got back was ‘distant family and I don’t know those people; that came from Meghan. So that kind of pissed me off and she knows damn well we had a great time growing up together, so I wrote that letter.”
“She kind of knew when she was getting into it when she went into it. If you got a job and you got paid 4 million dollars a year salary to go bow and curtsey and take pictures and do some charity work here, some charity work there, I mean that’s about the highest pedestal you can get to. Do your job and not gripe about it.”
He went on to say of the pair’s shocking interview with Oprah, “I don’t 100% buy that and I don’t agree with some of the things on the Oprah interview as far as not having those services available. I can’t imagine being that sheltered?”
“Everybody’s always loved Meghan, everybody’s always supported her no matter what. I have I mean I may say bad things about her, I may write horrible letters to people, but the end result is that I do love my sister.”
Markle insisted that he loves Meghan and would “do anything” to meet his nephew Archie and niece Lilibet.
