Another day, another Markle family member doing an interview about Meghan, eh?

Since the moment the former Suits actress got together with Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex's American family have not been able to stay away from the press, despite gaining no reaction at all from the royal family or Meghan herself.

Perhaps one of the main culprits has been her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr, who has turned to the media to slam the 37-year-old multiple times.

In early May Markle Jr. wrote to the Duke warning him that marrying his half-sister would be the "worst mistake in royal history" just days before the wedding. "Meghan Markle is obviously not the right woman for you." he said in a handwritten letter to the royal, adding that his half-sister was a "jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage."

The window fitter eventually apologised, claiming "I feel like an a** about it but my true feelings are I couldn't be happier for her. I mean, what are the odds?"

However, despite expressing his regret at writing the letter, now Markle Jr. has thrown himself back into the spotlight, attacking not just Meghan but also her new husband Harry.

The former actress' estranged relative has reportedly spoken to the Daily Mail, claiming that Meghan has changed and that he blames Prince Harry for her behaviour, stating that if she hadn't met him, things would be different.

"It’s not the Meghan I remember," he told the newspaper. "The Meg I remember was very caring and she cared about everybody—that was important to her. Since Hollywood and being on that show—being a celebrity has changed her. Maybe she feels she is above everybody, maybe even more now."

He continued to state that the Duke was responsible for keeping his half-sister from visiting their father, who reportedly had heart surgery shortly before the royal wedding. "If she wasn't with Prince Harry right now—even if she was still on Suits right now—she would have stopped what she was doing to go and visit [our father Thomas Markle Sr.] and make sure he's ok," he said.

Speaking of the May 19 ceremony, Markle Jr. also told the Daily Mail of how offended he was that he wasn't invited, comparing the royals treatment of him to Kate Middleton's family. The 51-year-old pointed out that the Duchess of Cambridge's Uncle Gary - who has a domestic assault conviction - was invited, claiming that he should have been too.

"They have [brought outsiders in] before in the past like with the Middletons," he said. "I don't see why our family is any different. I think Uncle Gary and I would get along just fine. It would have been nice to at least get an invite to the wedding like he was."

So, do you sympathise with Meghan's American family? Or are you screaming at the screen, begging for them to shut up already?

If you think your family has drama, then you should try life as a royal. Seriously; there's no group of people whose personal lives are more closely scrutinised than those of the royals, and their relationships are endlessly picked apart by the public and the media. It's extra difficult for them because the royals have to constantly appear unflappable and perfect at all times, and can't be seen to hold political opinions of their own. For many people, the idea of getting the chance to marry Prince Harry would seem like a dream come true. But I can't help but wonder how Meghan Markle is actually coping with the reality of being a member of the House of Windsor, especially when her relationship with her father and half sister is so ... strained.

For those who missed out on the drama, allow me to provide a recap. Meghan Markle's father Thomas Markle provoked a lot of controversy when it emerged that he had staged a number of photographs for the paparazzi. Meghan's half-sister Samantha defended him and claimed that it was her idea, stating that her father wanted "to show the world that [he's] getting in shape and doing great healthy things." Not only this, but Markle's ailing health meant that he was not available to walk Meghan down the aisle during her wedding ceremony, and since then Thomas Markle has been vocal in his condemnation of the Windsors.

Now Samantha has come forward to criticise Meghan even more, and has called her a "greedy, arrogant, fake humanitarian," who has treated their father "inhumanely." In a recent interview, Samantha didn't care to mince words, and stated: "There would be no just reason for her not to want him in her life, as he was good enough to use to make her everything she is."

Meghan's brother Thomas Jr was also quick to criticise her, stating: "It's heartbreaki... (truncated for brevity)"

Ever since their whirlwind romance and beautiful, dream-like marriage back in May, your hearts and mine have been filled with tales of love between Prince Harry and former Suits star Meghan Markle.

With their televised wedding, a ton of royal events to show up at plus the fact that they're just super smitten with one another, we've seen a lot of them recently. More than, say, Prince William and Kate Middleton, who've been able to sink into the background with their three kids.

Unfortunately, there's also a darker side to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's enduring presence in the spotlight, making up quite a bit of our newsfeeds in recent times.

Having had to deal with media harassment in the early stages of their courtship, Meghan Markle's estranged family are proving to be quite a thorn in the side of the Royal Family now that Meghan's a part of it - they just won't. Shut. Up.

From Meghan's half-sister Samantha, who admitted that she's been cashing in on her famous sibling's fame to her father Thomas Markle, who missed her wedding and has since been employing Emotional Manipulation 101 in order to get a rise out of his daughter, it's all getting a bit much down at Buckingham Palace.

As a result, we won't be seeing nearly as much of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moving forward. According to Vanity Fair's Katie Nicholl, Prince Harry is very much not amused with the media circus surrounding his new wife. And honestly, who could blame him?

According to a source, radio silence is the order of the day moving forward for anyone in the couple's inner circle. "They both expect a code of silence. If you talk to the press you’re out," the source revealed. "Harry didn’t used to care that much about what was written [in the press], he just said it was a load of shite, but he’s very protective of Meghan and defensive these days."

Royal editor Camilla Tominey says that the scrutiny on Harry and his new bride has put a strain on the couple, and that after suffering a similar hounding in the 80s of 90s, the entire situation is reminding Prince Harry of his mother, Princess Diana.

"The princes are both very private people and have tried their best to keep the press at bay ever since their mother’s death. They are extremely protective of their wives and families and will do anything to avoid a repeat of the 80s and 90s when they felt that Princess Diana was hounded.”

With loyalty being one of the more valued qualities in the Royal Family, you can expect Harry and Meghan's closest and dearest to keep their mouths shut. Next month's public appearance, when they'll be in Balmoral to spend some time with the Queen, might be the last time we see Prince Harry and Meghan for a while.

Considering that the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is but a distant memory in the minds of Brits and Americans alike, you'd assume that all the gossip surrounding the former Suits actress' family would have cooled off by now - right?

Wrong.

Even though the hullaballoo of the big day is well and truly over, Meghan's father and half-siblings are still cropping up to make some comment about her recent union to the British prince. First, there was the revelation that her brother - Thomas Markle Jr. - had flown to England for the wedding, but stayed in London while the ceremony took place in Windsor. Then, Meghan's sister - Samantha Markle - came forward to complain about not being invited, and also take a few digs at the new Duchess of Sussex's coat of arms.

And now, after months of bad press, Thomas Markle Sr. has come forward to make a statement about supposedly asking his daughter for money.

The rumours that Markle Sr. had asked Meghan for money began circulating after his son (Meghan's half-brother), sent an open letter to Prince Harry, in which he detailed the apparent relationship between the actress and her family.

He wrote:

"What kind of person starts out by using her own father until he's bankrupt, then forgets about him in Mexico leaving him broke, over mostly all her debts. And when it's time to pay him back she forgets her own father like she never knew him.

"My father will never recover financially from paying Meghan's way, nor emotionally from disavowing him, Meg is showing her true colors."

Whether or not that's true is unclear, but one thing's for sure: Thomas Sr. denies that he has ever asked for a penny from his daughter.

In an interview with TMZ, Thomas Sr. said - quite bluntly - that the rumour was, "just plain bull***t". In fact, he added, he has a decent enough retirement fund and therefore doesn't feel like he needs any help. Even if he did, he said, he knows that Meghan would help him out without him having to ask.

During the interview, Thomas Sr. also commented on his health, saying that he has been steadily recovering in the weeks following his heart surgery.

This was, of course, the reason he missed his daughter's wedding.

He didn't seem too bitter about having to skip the ceremony, though, and actually put out a supportive message after the big day was over.

"Now I pray that Harry and Meghan can go on a nice honeymoon and rest and relax, and all of my relatives will just shut up about everything," he said;

"The service was beautiful and it’s history. I will always regret not being able to be there and not being able to hold my daughter’s hand. My baby girl is a duchess and I love her so much. When you watch your child get married, every thought goes through your mind, every memory from the first day she was born, the first time I held her."

So, if Thomas Sr.'s words are anything to go by, it appears that the two are actually on much better terms than we originally thought. Let's hope they keep it up.
