Thomas Markle Jr. Criticizes Meghan's Netflix Series Amid Family Estrangement

Meghan Markle's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has publicly criticized her new Netflix docuseries, 'With Love, Meghan,' labeling her childhood anecdotes as 'malarkey stories' aimed at garnering sympathy. In the series, Meghan describes herself as a 'latchkey kid' who relied on fast food and TV dinners, but Thomas refutes this, asserting that the family was not poor and that she did not face the hardships she claims. He expressed embarrassment for her portrayal, stating he hasn't allowed their father to watch it due to his health concerns. Thomas also commented on Meghan's cooking claims, stating she never cooked for anyone growing up, contradicting her narrative of culinary enjoyment. This ongoing family rift highlights the strained relationship between Meghan and her paternal family, especially since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018. Critics have previously pointed out that Meghan was raised in a comfortable middle-class environment, further complicating her narratives about her upbringing.
