The Daily Mail reports Meghan Markle’s lawyers are preparing for the worst following news that her estranged father, Thomas Markle, has launched his own YouTube channel. Thomas has already released a series of videos heavily criticizing the former “Suits” star for her public statements about their family, as well as claims made in the tell-all book “Finding Freedom,” describing them as “all lies.” Meghan’s sister, Samantha Markle, contends that the duchess lied to authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, who penned the popular tome.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams acknowledged the Sussexes likely aren’t too impressed with Thomas’s latest stunt, opining, “Meghan’s family have been extremely hostile to her and ‘Remarkable Friendship,’ the name of this new channel, sounds extremely amateurish, but the Sussexes’ lawyers will no doubt keep an eye on its content.” Fitzwilliams added, “Future episodes seem unlikely to attract any interest at all, unless they feature personal attacks on Meghan.”
Thomas also threw his support behind Samantha‘s defamation case against Meghan. He believes Samantha will easily win the $75,000 she’s requesting, and is even willing to give evidence on her behalf, arguing Meghan “can’t defend the things she said.” Thomas is also eager to speak to the Sussexes in person, ideally in court.
