Meghan Markle’s estranged
sister is begging the former royal to stop “watching and doing nothing” as
their father recovers from a possible stroke.
Samantha Markle went so far as
to describe the Duchess of Sussex’s lack of involvement as “elder abuse,” as
she seemingly hasn’t checked in on their unwell dad, Thomas Markle.
“He’s been through so much,”
Samantha, 57, said of Thomas, 77, on “Dan Wootton Tonight. Two heart attacks, a
pandemic and now a stroke. None of us have heard from Meghan — that’s
negligence.”
Samantha claimed their father
“doesn’t have a lot of time,” so if Meghan, 40, doesn’t reach out now, she’d
“have to live with that [decision] for the rest of her life. If she can’t find
it in her heart or have the moral conscience to step forward, then shame on
her,” Samantha added.
When Wootton asked Samantha if
Meghan paying for medical costs would help, she responded, “‘She sees all of
this. I’m getting the feeling that I would be spinning my wheels to try and
appeal to her heart now.”
A rep for Meghan didn’t
immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Thomas was rushed from
Tijuana, Mexico, Monday night to a hospital across the border in Chula Vista,
Calif.
“It’s a travesty how much he’s
been tortured and how much he’s had to go through thanks to my sister’s
disregard the past few years,” Samantha said in a statement after the news of
his health scare broke. “That is unforgivable.”
