Meghan Markle’s Family Rift Widens as Relative Claims She Won’t Talk to Them Again

An anonymous relative of Meghan Markle has spoken out about the Duchess of Sussex, claiming that she won't ever talk to her family again because she acts like she is in a different social class and therefore above them and where she came from.

The unnamed Markle insider spoke out during an interview with Fox News, hitting out at the mother of two for her treatment of her family, while also insisting that her relatives do not wish to pursue a reconciliation.

“We are clearly in different social classes and we won't ever talk again,” the person, who did not reveal their relation to the mother of two, said of Meghan's relationship with her family.

“You shouldn't have to be someone you're not, or a certain class to be accepted and loved,” the person added.

The source's comments come just days after Meghan welcomed her second child with Prince Harry, a baby daughter named Lilibet Lily Diana in honour of the Queen and the late Princess Diana.

Meghan and Harry actually moved much closer to the Duchess' family when they relocated to her home state of California last year, moving into a $14 million mansion in Montecito where they now live with their two-year-old son Archie and newborn daughter Lily.

But while the Duchess' relative offered congratulations to the couple on the arrival of their daughter, they admitted that they don't believe a playdate between the little girl and her Markle cousins is ever going to happen despite their physical proximity, joking that a meeting with Oprah Winfrey would be just as likely to take place.

According to the Markle relative, the rift between Meghan and her family is entirely her choice, adding that the family has no plans to try and mend it because they don't want to chase after someone that doesn't want to talk to them.

Although Meghan is known to be incredibly close to her mother, Doria Ragland, who is understood to be living with the Sussexes at their $14 million Montecito mansion where she is helping them to care for Archie and his newborn sister, the Duchess does not appear to have a tight bond with anyone else in her immediate family.

Indeed, this relative is not the first of Meghan's family members to publicly criticize her, or to accuse the Duchess of widening the rift between herself and them.

Meghan and Harry have both been blasted on a number of occasions by her estranged father, Thomas Markle, and her half-sister Samantha, most recently over comments they made during their explosive interview with Oprah.

Following the Sussexes' TV sit-down in March, Thomas and Samantha spoke out to slam the couple, with Meghan's half-sister accusing the Duchess of using her mental health struggles as an excuse to treat people poorly.

During the primetime sit-down, which aired on March 7, Meghan revealed that she had struggled with suicidal thoughts while pregnant with her son Archie, and claimed that the palace turned a blind eye to her mental health struggles.

But despite her admission, Samantha said she has no sympathy for Meghan.

In a follow-up interview with TMZ, Samantha launched another blistering attack on the Duchess, claiming that her marriage to Harry is heading for divorce unless the couple undergoes extensive counseling.

She also called on the Sussexes to go on an apology tour after the couple made accusations of racism within the royal family during their Oprah interview.

Thomas slammed his daughter's decision to refuse to see or speak to him, saying, “The biggest problem here is she's pretty much ghosted all of her family.”

Besides, he continued to lambaste his daughter Meghan Markle and her husband in a new interview, reported the Mirror.

In his latest attack, Thomas called the Duke and Duchess of Sussex out for living like hermits despite having a huge house at their disposal.

“Harry and Meghan are living like hermits in a 26-room house,” said Thomas on GB News.

The 77-year-old went on to claim that Harry and Meghan have no friends and that they only interact with one another.

“They never have parties, they never have guests, I think the only guests they have are their million-dollar lawyers.

Otherwise, it's Harry walking his dogs or riding his bicycle.

I don't understand what they're doing,” he said.

Thomas continued, “They live alone in a 26-room house, they don't go anywhere and they don't do anything.

I don't know what Harry does besides walking his dogs and riding his bike.

It's weird.”
