Meghan Markle’s brother invites her to wedding to end feud

Yet another member of the Markle family is reaching out to the Duchess

| Updated:

We’ve heard plenty from her dad, her nephew, and her sister – and now Meghan Markle’s brother has waded into the family feud.

The Duchess of Sussex’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr. has publicly invited his little sister to his March wedding, and begged Meghan to “bring our family closer together”.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Meghan’s big brother – who is marrying his fiancée, Darlene Blount in America – revealed that he’d sent an official wedding invitation to Meghan, 37, and her husband, Prince Harry.

Thomas, 52, confirmed he hoped “our wedding will bring the family closer together”.

He added: “It’s hopeful that if Meghan and Harry came and my father – Meghan and Harry could spend some time together with him and that would be good.”

The window-fitter continued: “Starting out the New Year by bringing our family closer together is definitely on the to-do list — it’s very important.”

He continued that his big day “would be a perfect time for Meg to get together with my dad… and just put all the past behind everybody and move on and be a closer family again. My dad would really enjoy that.”

Pregnant Meghan – whose baby is due in the spring – has been estranged from their 74-year-old dad, Thomas, since he worked with paps to set up pictures ahead of her May wedding to Harry.

A third commented: “There’s a better chance of the Queen showing up than Sparkles & Harry.” While a fourth joked: “This family just keeps giving!!”

The news comes as the Suits actress and her husband’s new £2.5 million country estate was revealed.
