Meghan Markle's relationship with her siblings seems to be at its worst. The duch*ess' half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., recently shared videos mocking her on YouTube.
In some of his many videos about his half-sister, he wears a wig and stuffs what appears to be a cushion in his jumpers before sharing vile comments about her.
Meghan Markle's Half-Brother Trolls Her In A Series Of Online Videos
Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Jr., did not hide his distasteful feelings toward his half-sister when he shared a video on his YouTube channel where he parodied her dressing by wearing a dark-colored wig and stuffing his T-shirt with what appeared to be a cushion.
According to The Mirror, Thomas Jr. mocked the former "Suits" actress, introducing himself as "Me-gain," a disparaging monicker internet trolls coined. He went on to share several conspiracy theories about Meghan, her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
In the video, the 57-year-old faces the camera and speaks like he is talking to his estranged half-sister face to face: "It's not just your freedom of speech, Meghan; it's everybody's freedom of speech."
"So if you don't like it, don't watch, right? I'm gonna be riding those coattails, baby - oh, yeah, if it wasn't for Meghan Markle, I don't know what I'd be doing," Thomas Jr. added.
In another footage, he ridiculed Meghan's new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, calling it "American River whor* Orchard."
Thomas Markle Jr. Was Slammed For The 'Grotesque' Videos
Thomas has subsequently been slammed by Royal experts and government officials for his disparaging antics towards Meghan, calling for a broad approach to moderation and a crackdown on "harmful" content.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond was forward in her charge for YouTube to take responsibility. She went on to slam Thomas Jr.'s videos as "grotesque" and accused him of committing "the ultimate betrayal" with his actions.
"To have your own flesh and blood lead the assault must feel like the ultimate betrayal for Meghan," she added.
According to the news outlet, former tech minister Damian Collins also weighed in on Thomas's content, accusing online platforms of "profiting from misery" and calling for stricter measures against "campaigns of harassment and intimidation."
He said: "The major social media companies must do more to combat harmful content on their platforms, including campaigns of harassment and intimidation. They have created systems that have not only allowed conspiracy theories to thrive but are actively promoted by the recommendation systems designed by these big tech companies."
The duch*ess' Half-Sister Samantha Markle Is Trying To Revive Defamation Lawsuit
Meghan's war with her siblings recently picked up steam when her half-sister, Samantha, sought to overturn her libel lawsuit dismissal.
The case stemmed from Meghan's comments about Samantha in her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and her Netflix documentary, which Samantha argued were defamatory.
Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell had earlier dismissed the case with prejudice after ruling that Samantha "failed to identify any statements that could support a claim for defamation or defamation-by-implication."
Her appeal filing read, "Notice is hereby given that the Plaintiff, Samantha M. Markle, by and through her undersigned counsel, appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the Order Granting Defendants, Meghan, the duch*ess of Sussex, Motion to Dismiss entered by the Honorable Charlene Edwards Honeywell on March 12, 2024."

Thomas Jnr's vile remarks about his estranged half-sister, which he posted on Wednesday, don't appear to be causing her to lose sleep as she recently joined Prince Harry for a charity polo match in Florida.
Meghan arrived hand-in-hand with the Duke of Sussex for the Royal Salute Polo Challenge in a white halter dress with a midriff cutout and statement sunglasses.
The match was played at the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington on Friday in honor of Sentebale, a charity organization Harry founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help children in Africa affected by poverty, inequality, and HIV/AIDS.
Harry & Meghan Are Working On Two New Netflix Shows
According to a report, Harry and Meghan are developing two nonfiction Netflix series. The first will follow Meghan as she discusses the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. The duch*ess will executive produce the series alongside Chanel Pysnik for Archewell Productions.
The second show will focus on Harry as he explores the world of professional polo. It will be shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center. The series will document the polo world, showing how the players live and compete at the highest level in the game.
Harry's love for polo seemingly inspires the show. He's known as a keen polo player and has even played international games.
