Samantha Markle is not at all impressed by her half-sister’s decision to reach out to their dad, Thomas Markle, after he underwent a leg amputation.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Meghan told People magazine<\/a> that the Duchess of Sussex “reached out” to her father after hearing of his health emergency. Shortly thereafter, Thomas told the Daily Mail<\/a> that he hadn’t heard anything from his estranged daughter and he begged for her to reach out “before it’s too late.”<\/p>\n Then, Samatha took to X<\/a> to accuse Meghan of reaching out for PR purposes.<\/p>\n “You’re also gullible. Believe it if he’s put on a private jet and put into one of the best hospitals in the United States for care. Until then don’t hold your breath. It’s likely a PR stunt because of public scrutiny,” Samantha wrote on December<\/a> 5.<\/p>\n The next day, Samantha was back on X, this time with an AI video of Markle flying on a broomstick holding up a sign that read, “fake as ever.”<\/p>\n “Sources report seeing my sister<\/a> in the area of the hospital Dad is in. Could she be living up to all of that paid PR?” Samantha captioned the post.<\/p>\n On December 7, Samantha shared a bit of an update on her dad.<\/p>\n “He will be okay,” she wrote on X<\/a>. “Recovery time will do him good and the rest will sort itself out,” she continued, also sharing that Thomas had a blood clot after suffering a stroke.<\/p>\n The Duchess of Sussex has been estranged from her father since before the royal wedding. At the time, Meghan and Prince Harry<\/a> found out that Thomas had lied about his relationship with the media, so they cut ties with him in an effort to keep their family<\/a> safe.<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Dec 7, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pop Culture<\/a> section.
