Half-brother accuses ‘phoney’ Meghan Markle of ‘forgetting’ family

LONDON: Meghan Markle’s half-brother has accused the royal bride-to-be of forgetting “her roots and her family” and “acting phoney” in a stinging interview with a British newspaper. Thomas Markle, who lives in the US state Oregon, hit out at Prince Harry’s 36-year-old American fiancee for losing touch with relatives in recent years after finding fame acting. “She is giving the greatest performance of her life,” he told the Daily Mirror in an interview published on Thursday. “She is acting phoney. Once she got into Hollywood she turned into a different person. “She’s clearly forgotten her roots and her family.” He added: “Meg likes to portray herself as a humanitarian, a people’s person and a charitable person but she is none of those things to her family.” Markle will marry Prince Harry in exactly one month in a chapel inside Windsor Castle in front of 600 invited guests. A further 2,640 people will be welcomed into the castle grounds. Thomas Markle revealed he had not received an invite, despite claiming to have spent many weekends together caring for their dementia-stricken grandmother from 2009 to 2011.
