Odd New Details Revealed About Meghan Markle's Family — And Why They Say She Abandoned Her Dad And Left Him Broke In Mexico
They've threatened to crash the wedding.
Getty There is a lot going on in the royal family right now, and Meghan Markle’s relatives are not making it easy for her to become royalty with class.
Prince Harry’s fiancé has an estranged brother in Oregon who is trying to convince him to cancel the wedding.
In a letter obtained by In Touch Weekly, Thomas Markle Jr. expresses his negative thoughts on Meghan and Harry’s union.
"As more time passes to your royal wedding, it became very clear that this is the biggest mistake in royal wedding history," Thomas writes. "Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you."

He goes on to say that his sister is a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage."
Nice brother, huh? He doesn’t stop there.
“What kind of person starts out by using her own father until he’s bankrupt, then forgets about him in Mexico leaving him broke, over mostly all her debts,” her brother continued. “My father will never recover financially from paying Meghan’s way, nor emotionally from disowning him. Meg is showing her true colors.”
The hand-written letter goes on.
“Not to mention, to top it all off, she doesn’t invite her own family and instead invites complete strangers to the wedding. Who does that?" he asked. "You and the royal family should put an end to this fake fairytale wedding before it’s too late. Also, you would think that a royal wedding would bring a torn family closer together, but I guess we are all distant family to Meg."

Although Thomas, Meghan’s half-brother from her father’s previous marriage, claimed the family wasn't invited to the wedding, Kensington Palace announced that her father, Thomas Markle, will walk her down the aisle.
“On the morning of the wedding, Ms. Ragland will travel with Ms. Markle by car to Windsor Castle,” Kensington Palace announced Friday. “Mr. Markle will walk his daughter down the aisle of St George’s Chapel. Ms. Markle is delighted to have her parents by her side on this important and happy occasion.”
Meghan’s estranged brother is not the only one causing drama weeks before she is set to marry into the royal family.
Her half-sister, Samantha Grant, recently accused Meghan of not caring about her their father and excluding the Markles from her wedding.

Grant bashed the future royal wore a £56,000 dress for her engagement photos while their father is bankrupt.
"If you can spend $75,000 on a dress, you can spend $75,000 on your dad,” she said.
She is also reportedly publishing a book titled The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister to shed light on her soon-to-be royal sister’s “hardened heart,” The Observer writes.
Grant said her family was waiting for an invitation to the wedding but one never came.
"Out of respect and humanitarianism, the Markles should be invited if 2,000 complete strangers are, Grant said, according to The Sun. “Our uncle, brother, me, best friend of 30 years, nephews. Our issue is not a matter of closeness. Family is family."
Meghan’s ex-husband has played a hand in the drama as well.
Trevor Engelson is an actor in an upcoming divorce comedy that seems to be a spin-off of his previous marriage to Meghan, minus the kids — they have no children together.
“Divorce is hard. Sharing custody is harder. Sharing custody with the British Royal family when your wife marries a prince, in the unforgiving spotlight of London’s tabloid media, is next level,” Deadline states of the untitled show’s premise.
To top it all off, Meghan’s nephew, TJ Dooley, may be planning to crash the wedding.
“I’d probably come to the UK for the wedding – even if I’m not invited,” he told The Sun. “I am thrilled.”
Meghan and Prince Harry are set to wed in two weeks and we can only hope their big day runs smoothly despite all of her family's drama.
