In January he was arrested for drunkenly threatening his girlfriend with a gun.
May 19, when she marries Prince Harry and gains the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, we will begin to forget about the B-movie actress who ate frozen lasagna and get used to Duchess Meghan Markle with the speed at which she A boss who was previously a colleague is starting to get the same face. But in Meghan Markle's fairy tale, the secondary characters from the first part of her film are still fighting, determined to tear the curtains of Buckingham Palace and prevent the story of which they were part, much less friendly in its American section that is completely forgotten in the London section.
A character in the first part of the story who is angry about not having her role in Meghan's happy ending is Thomas Jr, her stepbrother. “Harry, the closer the wedding gets, the clearer it becomes that this is the biggest mistake in the history of the royal family,” she wrote to the prince in a letter this week. And he took the opportunity to once again call his sister a creep and a bad person. “It's not too late to cancel the wedding,” he warned her. “You and the royal family should put an end to this false fairy tale.” But reading his letter carefully, as well as the interview he gave to the Daily Mirror tabloid a couple of months ago, he immediately realizes that not having been invited to the wedding is what is bothering him. “Maybe Meghan is ashamed of the normal American family she has because we are not producers or executive producers,” he said in his interview.
Surely he was reviewing his dossier when an eyebrow was raised higher at Buckingham Palace: welcoming the sister of a glazier into the royal family is a toll that in the house of Windsor, the same as the other European royalty, By now they are quite used to it, but Thomas Jr. adds to his resume a police record with arrests for threatening his girlfriend with a gun. It must also have deserved some comment in the palace offices that his son Tyler, who will be the cousin of the baby that Dukes Harry and Meghan once had, makes a living exploiting a marijuana crop in Oregon. Tyler Markle is currently working on a new drug, “Markle’s Sparkle.”
Thomas Markle Jr. is 51 years old and is Meghan Markle's brother on her father's side. When his sister was born, he lived in Los Angeles with the family that Thomas Markle 'senior' had formed with Doria, Meghan's mother, after divorcing Roselyn, his mother. Until 2001, he was married to Tracy Dooley, a marriage which produced two sons, Thomas and Tyler. After falling out with his partner, he moved to Oregon and began dating 37-year-old Darlene Blount. The relationship with this one is rather conflictive: in January, Thomas Jr. was arrested for drunkenly threatening his girlfriend with a gun to the head.
He was arrested again for doing the same thing to another person. He then began to treat his addiction to alcohol. Or at least that's what he promised, but Meghan had already decided to cut off her relationship with him and in fact she hasn't invited him to her wedding. The last time they saw each other was in 2011 during the funeral of their grandmother Doris, who was suffering from dementia and whom they cared for together for a time. Her other sister, Samantha Grant, also tends to openly criticize Meghan and agrees with Thomas Markle father and son in their history of divorces and bankruptcies. But they are not together in the war against Meghan: in December 2017, Samantha accused Thomas of dishonoring his father and stealing to buy alcohol and drugs.
On May 19, Thomas Markle Jr. will be left without his paragraph in the history books and the handful of anecdotes to entertain his friends. He, too, wants his piece of the fairy tale cake, but for now he will remain trapped in her B-series spin-off. The closer Meghan's wedding gets, the harsher her words against her become. It must seem like a lie to see the news that her sister has gone to tea with the queen and gained the trust of her corgi while the police handcuff him.
