Commentator Lizzie Cundy has criticised Meghan Markle’s brother Thomas, after her estranged sibling posted a YouTube video on his channel, mocking the royal.
The Duchess of Sussexes brother, Thomas Markle Jr, donned a wig and headband as he posted onto the social media site, firing insults at her.
Calling her “Me-gain”, Thomas told the camera: “It’s not just your freedom of speech, Meghan, it’s everybody’s freedom of speech.
“I’m gonna be riding those coat-tails, baby – oh, yeah, if it wasn’t for Meghan Markle I don’t know what I’d be doing.”

Reacting to the video, Lizzie Cundy said the Markle family are “clearly still bitter” after being estranged from Meghan for so long.
In a discussion on GBN America, Cundy told host Nana Akua that Thomas is “upset with Meghan” for “treating their father so appallingly”.
Cundy highlighted: “Meghan has not been in touch with her father at all since his heart attacks and strokes, and has totally written a narrative on how they were brought up and pushed him out of her life completely.
“So you can understand him being a little bit bitter.”

Nana then explained: “I think it’s been about ten years or so that they haven’t spoken. So even before she married Harry. I think there’s still form of them not having the closest of relationships.”
When asked by Nana if the videos posted by Thomas Markle Jr are “justified”, Cundy said: “I don’t think it’s justified and it is hurtful, but I think you’ve got see that this is his father too, and she’s [Meghan] treated him pretty badly.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
“She’s totally ignored them all, and her sister Samantha. She’s totally written them out of her own life, I think that the family now are feeling very upset and hurt with her.”
Cundy admitted that if she was one of Meghan’s siblings, she too would be “very disappointed” in how she has treated the whole family.
Nana shared her thoughts on Thomas Markle Jr’s videos, adding: “Whilst I don’t condone the videos, and some of them are a bit crass and a bit much, she does appear to have betrayed the entire family.”

Cundy then claimed that there appears to be a “plan” in place with supporters of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to “get rid of anyone that criticises Meghan”.
She told GBN America: “No one is allowed to criticise Meghan. And of course she’s launched her new website about cookery, gardening, and jam making, and she wants it all to be good press.
“So she doesn’t want anyone being critical of her whatsoever.”
