Samantha Markle has reignited the Markle family feud by publicly criticising the Duchess of Sussex on X. Moreover, she shared her thoughts alongside re-posts from others claiming Meghan had not contacted her father, Thomas Markle.
“Houston, there’s been no contact,” Samantha wrote. “Time to stop the PR bulls**t, Medusa.” Clearly, she doubts the Duchess’s claim of reaching out.
Earlier, Meghan’s representatives said she had tried to contact Thomas. A spokesperson confirmed on Saturday, “I can confirm she has reached out to her father.” However, it remains unclear whether Thomas actually received the message.
Meanwhile, Thomas reportedly has not heard from Meghan following his surgery. He underwent a three-hour operation in a hospital in the Philippines after being rushed there from his home in Cebu on Tuesday. During the procedure, surgeons amputated his left leg below the knee because a blood clot had turned it black.
The Markle family feud has deep roots. For instance, Thomas Markle married Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, from 1979 to 1987. Furthermore, his relationship with Meghan broke down before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. Additionally, Thomas worked with photographers, selling paparazzi photos ahead of the royal ceremony.
Consequently, King Charles stepped in to walk Meghan down the aisle at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle after Thomas pulled out. Samantha added that two heart attacks prevented her father from flying from Los Angeles to London for the wedding.
Samantha’s public comments suggest the Markle family tensions remain unresolved. In fact, many observers note that Thomas’s recent health crisis has increased pressure on family communication.
Social media reactions further highlight the divided opinions. While some fans sympathise with Samantha, others defend Meghan’s attempts to reach out. Therefore, the debate illustrates the difficulty of balancing public scrutiny with private family matters.
As the Markle family feud unfolds, the future of Meghan and Thomas’s relationship remains uncertain. Observers will watch closely to see whether reconciliation can happen after years of estrangement and public disputes.
