Meghan Markle's relative talks family divide: 'We won't ever talk again'
Fox News ^ | 9 June 2021 | Melissa Roberto

Meghan Markle became physically closer to her family members when she and Prince Harry moved to California last year, but that doesn't mean there's room for reconciliation – so says a family source.

In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stunned fans and their own families with their decision to step back as senior working members of the British royal family and move to North America to pursue independent work. It's been almost a year since the couple settled down at a property in Montecito, Calif., located in Santa Barbara County.

Although Markle once again lives on the same coast as many of her family members, a relative of Markle's who wishes to remain anonymous balked at the idea of a potential play date amongst kids in the family upon the arrival of the Sussexes' second child, daughter Lilibet Diana.

"Yeah, right after I set up a play date with Oprah Winfrey's family, too?" the family source joked. "We're clearly in different social classes and we won't ever talk again."

The family source went on to acknowledge the family divide between Markle and the extended relatives she's long avoided in the media after her strained relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, became public. The new mother of two has made it clear she believes she's now above her family and where she came from, pressed the source.

He was an idiot. Even in Suffield in 01, he was trying to pull some fast ones when off the base, and him and his guys causing mayhem and using the name to get off the hook. Riffraff, all of em.

I don’t read those threads but I am very pleased that Harry and Meghan are here and in the news.

It makes me more appreciative of the Revolutionary War.

There is obviously a British royal family watching/Anglophile contingent here at FR. You are certainly free not to click on threads that don’t interest you.

“There’s that “W” word.”

except that there’s no “W” in “get rich quick schemes” or “prostituting their celebrity status” or “selling out to the highest bidder before their fame fades once and for all” ...

From what I understand from a member of the aristocracy over there, the two reactions from Queen Elizabeth were "horror" and "cold fury."

She had made it clear to everyone that she wanted the name's use to die with Prince Philip. Now she has to hear it every day for the rest of her life.

“Females are nature’s loose cannons.”

Tammy Wynette stood by her man! So did Tammy Faye Bakker!

Must be a ‘Tammy Thang,’ LOL!

I agree that for the most part men can be manipulated by pretty or successful or b!tchy women.

However, we’re not ALL ‘loose cannons.’

Example: Melania Trump has been nothing but an asset to her husband. :)

BTW, they purposely did it to hurt her, not to pander to her. And they immediately licensed the use of the name in order to sell merchandise. So, not only did they engineer something that would upset her continuously having to hear the name repeatedly, they get to profit off of her personal, private, intimate pet name.

She apparently thought being Royalty meant a life of total wealth and privilege with just glitz, glamour, and fame...without having to do any work. Then when she realized she does indeed get a life of wealth, prestige, and privilege - but she was also required and expected to also work - and work a lot - she was devastated and wanted out.
