Fears that Meghan Markle's mum could be next family member to be 'frozen out'

Meghan Markle's half-brother has spoken of his worry that the Duchess's mother could face being frozen out from the royal family.

Thomas Markle Jr said Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, could fall out of favour.

The 53-year-old, who lives in the US, said: "She [Doria] gets a day here, a day there...that's about it.

"I think that's probably the next relationship that's going to fall off the map."

Former Suits actress Meghan, who is 38 next Sunday, has not seen dad Thomas since it emerged he was staging paparazzi photos ahead of the Royal wedding at Windsor Castle last May.

He did not walk her down the aisle, claiming he had suffered a heart attack.

And he made public a letter from his daughter in which she told him: “Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces.”

Thomas Jr begged Meghan: “Now you’re a mother, I hope you’re grown up and mature enough to figure out family is very important.

“If something critical happens to our father, would Meghan show up? I honestly don’t think she would.

“God forbid she’s not that heartless. I don’t think anybody could live with that for her entire life.”

His pleas come as the family fear they may never see Meghan again – or get to meet son Archie, born in May.

Thomas Jr, 53, said: “I think the Queen should step in and tell Meghan to make amends with her father and family.

“Charles should step in and say, ‘Something’s not right’. They should force her into this, or it’s just going to continue to cause problems in her life.”

Attacking his half-sister’s privileged lifestyle, he criticised her for letting the taxpayer fund £2.4million renovations to  Frogmore Cottage  , the home she and Harry share on the Windsor estate.

He said: “I could see this would be pretty disappointing for some of the British public, especially when there’s a lot of people struggling just to get by.

“Personally I feel I don’t know this Meghan any more. My father doesn’t know this Meghan anymore."

But in an impassioned public plea to his sister, he added: “You do have a family in the United States and we all love and care about you.

“Someday I hope you’re smart enough and mature enough to open up and let your family into your life, and baby Archie’s life.

“Most of all I hope you call your father and let him be at least a part of yours and Archie’s life. You owe him that.”
