Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Under Fire: Half-Brother Calls Childhood Stories ‘Fake’

Thomas Markle Jr. Blasts ‘With Love, Meghan’

Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, is already making headlines—but not for the right reasons. Her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has come forward, slamming the show for allegedly misrepresenting Meghan’s childhood. He claims her portrayal of growing up modestly is completely fabricated and inaccurate.

In a recent interview with TalkTV, Thomas Jr. dismissed Meghan’s claims of being a latchkey kid who relied on fast food and microwavable meals. Calling her statements "malarkey," he suggested Meghan was spinning yet another sympathy story for the public and the royal family.

What Did Thomas Markle Jr. Say?

Thomas Jr., who hasn’t spoken to Meghan in over a decade, strongly refuted her statements about a difficult upbringing. In With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex reflects on her childhood, sharing her love for cooking and reminiscing about dining at fast-food chains like Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, and El Pollo Loco.

However, her half-brother insists she’s misleading audiences about her past.

He also emphasized that their father, Thomas Markle Sr., provided Meghan with a comfortable lifestyle, supporting her in every way. According to him, the world has already seen how Meghan treats her family, especially her father, and that’s why "nobody’s buying it."

Meghan’s Take on Family and Her Last Name

During a conversation with actress Mindy Kaling, Meghan shared that she often ate at fast-food places while growing up. Kaling seemed surprised and commented that many wouldn’t believe Meghan had eaten at Jack in the Box.

Laughing, Meghan responded that it was funny Kaling kept using her maiden name, as she now considers herself "Sussex." She explained that after becoming a mother, she realized the importance of having a shared family name, something she hadn’t thought about before.

For Meghan, using her royal title as a last name is now a symbol of unity within her little family.

Thomas Markle Jr.’s Harsh Criticism of ‘With Love, Meghan’

Thomas Jr. didn’t hold back when expressing his disdain for the Netflix series. He outright called it "fake" and claimed Meghan never cooked for anyone while growing up. Although he initially tried watching the show, he admitted that he quickly lost interest, realizing his time would be better spent elsewhere.

How Has the Show Been Received?

Since its release on February 4, With Love, Meghan has struggled to gain traction with viewers. According to Fox News, the show has received low ratings on IMDb, with many questioning its authenticity.

Critics and social media users have widely debated Meghan’s version of her upbringing, adding to the ongoing controversy surrounding her public image.
