For the few years we have all known that many of the Markle clan didn’t get along. Meghan has admitted to not having a relationship with her older half brother and has avoided her much older half sister like the plague. Who could blame her, they are crazy. Then with her father doing the ONE thing she and Harry asked him not to do. Sigh. Most Markles don’t speak to one another with the exception of junior and senior whose own relationship is described at best as strained and sporadic. Thomas Sr has said that when he knows he has to talk to Samantha on the phone he pops a Valium. Her story is that they are super close and “talk 3 times a day”. Lies. It’s also a huge lie that the reason she never visits her father is because “Mexico isn’t wheelchair friendly”. Uh huh.
All three Thomas Jr, Thomas Sr and Samantha have been banging on about family and how a baby brings a family together and how they are all literally begging to be brought into the royal family fold. Considering the two half siblings behavior in the run up to the wedding nearly a year ago and the aftermath what they both want it very clear: a payday. Samantha hasn’t had a paying job in over 20 years and Junior has had trouble his whole life holding down a job. He hasn’t exactly said kind words about Meghan. In a recent Daily Mail interview he referred to Meghan as “spoiled rotten” more than once.
Things took a huge swerve this week with a story published in The Daily Mail chronicling the OTHER five grand-kids Thomas Markle has. Considering how he is been portrayed a being distraught at the sheer thought of not holding his newest grandson.
Finding out that he has infrequent, if that contact with only two of his grandsons Tyler and Thomas (neither of whom speak to their own father Thomas Jr) and has spoken to Noel a couple of times in her whole life. Tyler and Thomas who are 10 years younger than Meghan and grew up in Grants Pass Oregon while Meghan grew up hundreds of miles away in Los Angeles, California. Tyler and Thomas were not at Meghan’s first wedding and no photos of them exist other than of them as newborns with Meghan. Tyler who claimed “My family’s been torn apart” that when Meghan and Harry got engaged. Considering he and his brother do not speak many members of the Markle clan I can’t see how that is possible. He has never had a relationship with his own father.
The real zinger was that Thomas Markle Sr has NEVER EVER met his two eldest grand-kids Ashleigh and Christopher Hale. Why? Samantha and her father are so close! Why has he never met her children? Ashleigh who was born in 1985 in New Mexico when Meghan was four years old. Now how can that be? Samantha claimed that she and Thomas raised Meghan single handed. And that Doria was “not in the picture much”. How can you be raising your half baby sister WHILE married and having two kids several states away? You can’t be in two states at once. Samantha even tweeted that Thomas raised Meghan as a single parent without any help whatsoever from Doria Ragland. I guess that is why Samantha hasn’t gotten around to publishing her book. She knows that what she tweets and actual facts are miles apart. With a little research and investigating her book would be deemed complete fiction. Maybe it could be published under Fantasy genre.
How on earth can you cry to the tabloids that you are distraught over never holding your grandson when you have two you have never met and the other three your communication is infrequent at best?
Ashleigh Hale, a human rights lawyer was featured on Meghan’s now defunct Instagram account and they appeared to be close and share similar interests.
How can a grandfather who is begging to be allowed into the life of little Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor when he has bypassed his other grand-kids? One word: Money. Clearly Thomas’s actions (and those of his two other spawn) have shown no love for Meghan – only contempt at not getting more money out of her. Here is what Thomas Sr has said: “You can hate me if you want. I can’t force you,” he reportedly wrote. “I made a big mistake. I’m human and I’m sorry!” He then asked for a photo opportunity: “I wish we could get together and take a photo for the whole world to see. Fake it for one photo and maybe some of the press will shut up!”
Fake it for one photo. You can hate me all you want.
Those are not words of a loving father or grandfather. I think Ashleigh, Christopher and Noel dodged a big bullet with Thomas Markle. Having him in your life would only add stress and unhappiness.
