Meghan Markle's estranged brother Thomas Markle Jr. wasted no time in slamming his "very shallow" half-sister as he entered the Australian Celebrity Big Brother house.

On Sunday, August 8, the window fitter, 55, joined the likes of California governor hopeful Caitlyn Jenner in Sydney, as he teased some of the inside gossip that viewers can expect to hear of the Duchess of Sussex's relationship with her family.

Speaking in his confessional, he introduced himself, saying: "I'm Meghan Markle’s brother. I’m the biggest brother of them all. I told Prince Harry, I think she's going to ruin your life. She's very shallow."

Check out what he had to say here:

Per MailOnline, he had previously said he was "baffled" at not being invited to Meghan and Prince Harry's wedding in 2018.

He said: "I’m not bitter, just baffled. It’s hurtful given how close we once were. I’m confused and a little distraught because here is a person knowing the position she’s in and knowing the scrutiny she’s under and yet she has forgotten her flesh and blood."

At the height of the media's scrutiny of Meghan and her soured relationship with much of her family, her half-brother famously sent her now-husband Prince Harry a letter telling him it was not "too late" to stop the wedding, explaining that his sister was "obviously not the right woman for you".

In the same letter, Thomas Jr. branded the former Suits star a "phony", and a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman."

He also accused Meghan of "cutting off" their 76-year-old father Thomas Sr. after he admitted to being paid to pose in staged paparazzi photos before the royal wedding.

Originally, Thomas Sr. was set to walk Meghan down the aisle - but was ultimately unable to make the ceremony due to heart surgery.

As for his reality star son Thomas Jr, some of his other Big Brother housemates include former Donald Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, Married at First Sight Star Jessika Powers, Australian Survivor star Luke Toki and athletes Matt Cooper and Dayne Beams.

Just a year before the Duchess' 2018 wedding, the 55-year-old was charged after allegedly holding a gun to his girlfriend's head during a heated argument, per MailOnline.
