Thomas Markle Jr spills secrets on Big Brother

Appearing on Big Brother VIP in the UK, Thomas Markle Jr has begun to share intimate details about his half-sister Meghan. 

He claims that since marrying into the Royal Family in 2018, Meghan treats her family as if “she’s embarrassed of where she comes from”.

Thomas said he was once close to his sister, but the last time he saw her was at their grandmother’s funeral in 2011. 

“She took off after that anyway and went to Canada... What happened to her? Nobody can figure it out,” Thomas said of his half-sister.

“Money changed her I guess. Money and fame just went to her head really bad.”

Thomas also went on to discuss Meghan’s first marriage to American film producer Trevor Engelson, who she was married to between 2011 and 2013. 

According to their divorice papers, the pair split due to “irreconcilable differences”, as Trevor described the way Meghan handled the divorce as “cold”.

“The thing that gets to me is the guy that she was married to the first time, Trevor. This guy just took care of her like, man she was adored by him and she just walked all over him and dumped him, that fast... after being married,” Thomas told his fellow Big Brother housemates.

“Sent the ring back in the mail. Is that cold or what?”

“But Harry’s next, Harry’s on the chopping block next,” he told them.

“He doesn’t seem like a bad guy,” Bernard Curry told Thomas.

“The only difference between now and then is all the photos prior to that he had a smile on his face, all the ones after he doesn’t,” Thomas replied.

Meghan’s family have repeatedly slated her in the media, with her father, Thomas Markle Sr, repeatedly giving incendiary interviews about the royal family. 

In the 2021 interview with Oprah, Meghan said she has felt “betrayed” by her family’s actions over the years.
