Thomas J Markle Jr, Meghan Markle’s half brother was speaking out for the first time since the Duchess of Sussex gave birth on May 6.
As we know, the former American actress and her husband, Prince Harry, welcomed baby boy named Archie Harrison Moutbatter-Windsor, and her 53-years-old half brother of Meghan told The Sun, “Congratulations, I’m very happy for you both and I hope this baby will bring you all the joy in the world.”
Not only that, Thomas also hoping for the-37-years-old Duchess of Sussex will finally make amend with her family.
“Hopefully this baby will help mend the family rift, we’d love to meet the baby and become a part of his life, especially my dad,” he explained. “I’m hoping that becoming a mother will open her eyes and shed light on what family means. Maybe she will se the importance of family now. And open up to my dad and let him be a part of the baby’s life. Any baby who comes into a family, everyone in the family wants to see it. It’s a big deal. There’s not been a baby in our family for a while now, this is big news for us all.”
“She should let the family come over and meet the new baby,” said the estranged borther that wrote a letter to Prince Harry few days before the wed. “Usually that’s what happens, everybody crowds into the hospital room to see the new addition to the family, we’d love that. I think everybody should be invited over to see the new baby. Hopefully, she won’t be unfair and withhold him from everybody, I hope she’ll reach out and make the baby a part of everybody’s life.”
Thomas Jr is not the only one who’s not invited to Frogmore Cottage. His father, the former Hollywood lighting director Thomas Markle also not.
“We’ve talked about him quite a bit over the past few weeks and this is actually a really scary subject for him,” said Thomas. “If he were to think he’d never be a part of the baby’s life that would be horrible for him, it would really hurt his feelings a lot. It’s one of his biggest fears and he can’t understand it if goes that way. He’s hoping for her to open up her arms and unite and obviously he wants to be part of the baby’s life. Meghan is his favorite little girl and he’s treasured her from day one up until now, and he would treasure his grandchild.”
“I seriously hope she gets a hold of him and personally calls him herself and sends him pictures right off the bat,” he continued. “Hopefully she’ll be kind enough to do that because he’s been waiting for this day all through the pregnancy. If it wasn’t for my father she would not be here where she is today… She was a very fortunate child growing up and she is very fortunate now and she has my dad to thank for that. He dedicated every moment of his life to her, he deserves to be a part of the baby’s life.”
Thomas confident that Meghan Markle would make a good mom, he continued, “If she applies the way she was brought up and all the love and affection she was shown. If she applies that to her own mothering skills I think she’ll be a good mom,” he explains.
“I went back recently and did a little LA tour of our old house and stuff and it brought back lots of memories. Meghan had a really, really good childhood with a lot of love, even though the family was broken up and we ended up living apart, she still had a good sense of family and family values. She’ll be OK, I don’t think she’ll just pass the baby off to the nannies.”
