VIDEO: MEGHAN MARKLE'S FAMILY DRAMA COULD RUIN THE WEDDING

We all know that Meghan Markle doesn't exactly have a close relationship with her family, and her estranged half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr, has often freely spoken badly of the Markle, even suggesting that Prince Harry leave his "conceited" sister. Thomas then shared a handwritten letter to In Touch, warning Harry that it’s “not too late” to stop the wedding.

"As more time passes to your royal wedding, it became very clear that this is the biggest mistake in royal wedding history," Thomas Jr. wrote. "Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you." He accused Meghan of being "jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. I’m confused why you don’t see the real Meghan that the whole world now sees,” he claimed. “Meghan’s attempt to act the part of a princess like a below C average Hollywood actress is getting old."

However, his views of Meghan quickly changed as he publically apologised and begged her to invite him to the wedding. Meghan also recently ran into controversy as her father, Thomas Markle, had recently worked with the paparazzi to share photographs that were staged to make it look like he was preparing for the wedding to put his relationship with Meghan in a positive light. According to the TMZ report, Markle decided not to walk his daughter down the aisle on Saturday, after it was revealed that the photos were staged. Thomas Markle said he now realises that the pictures were "stupid and hammy," and that he made the decision to skip the wedding so he wouldn't embarrass the royal family or his daughter.

It was revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan are concerned about Thomas Snr and the pressure the media is putting him under. They requested that the media back off to give him space and, although Meghan has expressed that she is upset over the incident, she still wants him to walk her down the aisle. Thomas was allegedly pushed into staging the photo's by Meghan's half sister, Samantha Markle, "I said the world has no idea that you're getting in shape and doing healthy things," Samantha said on the ITV program Loose Women. "They don't photograph you buying vegetables and pH water, they photograph you in as [many] unflattering ways as they can." I said, "Really you need to show the world you are getting in shape and doing great, healthy things. So I suggested it." Samantha took full responsibility for arranging the photos, saying she was "entirely the culprit".

Meghan has lashed out at the media, accusing them of taking advantage of her father saying that their father, who is 73 years old, is "a bit more fragile".
"I feel that the media have unfairly preyed on him and he has really been admirable about laying low and not speaking out on certain things," Markle told ITV. "I merely wanted him to be seen in a respectable light and that wasn't being done."

While Meghan's family relationships are far from healthy, it seems that her relationship with Prince Harry has grown much stronger.

What do you think of the entire debacle?
