Meghan Markle’s estranged half-brother has been accused of betrayal after sharing a vicious new YouTube video. In the 87-minute video, he dresses up as the duchess and accuses her of faking her pregnancies.
Thomas Markle Jr., 57, dons a wig and a tiara while stuffing a pillow up his shirt to imitate a pregnant woman.
During a bizarre impersonation, Thomas declares his name ‘Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch’ and shows off the new bump he bought on eBay from Montecito.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond criticized the video, stating that having your flesh and blood lead the assault must feel like the ultimate betrayal for Meghan.
She further described the footage as grotesque.
Thomas reportedly has not spoken to his half-sister in over a decade but has no problem using his connection to the royal family for personal gain.
In a clip, he shamelessly says, ‘If you don’t like it, don’t watch, right? I’m going to ride those coattails, baby. If it wasn’t for Meghan Markle, I don’t know what I’d be doing.’
The Mirror reports that Thomas plans to release a range of merchandise, including glasses, mugs, and T-shirts.
Thomas, a window fitter who lives in Grants Pass, Oregon, is one of Meghan’s two half-siblings.
The duchess’s other half-sibling, Samantha Markle, 59, has also cashed in on her connection to the royal family.
Similarly estranged from Meghan, Samantha has described the former ‘Suits’ star as having a ‘narcissistic personality disorder.’
Samantha lost her defamation suit against her estranged sister last month. The judge ruled that Samantha had failed to identify any defamatory statements made by Meghan.
The British digital economy minister Damian Collins told the Daily Mail that Thomas’ videos could be considered harassment.
He declared that major social media companies must do more to combat harmful content on their platforms, including campaigns of harassment and intimidation.
Despite this, Meghan seems to be ignoring her hateful half-brother.
She looked happy and relaxed as she joined Prince Harry in Florida earlier this week. He is shooting a new Netflix series about polo, while she is soon set to launch her brand American Riviera Orchard.
