Her New Family

SOLVED!

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] Remember when we told you that this actress’ relatives were not going to hush up until they received the payday they were after?

Well, a relative of hers just did another interview. And this one is a doozy!

Her “new family” is going to pitch a royal fit when they hear what he calls them. Ready?

He said, “They are just like Scientologists!” He says that they are a secretive cult that pulls down the shades and threatens anyone who tries to expose them for what they are.

He also called them a “Stepford Family,” a reference to The Stepford Wives, a 1970s horror film about robotic, brainwashed women.

We don’t know which publication is gong to run this – or which metaphor they are going to reference – but it will be published soon.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…

From Newsweek:

Meghan Markle Father Compares ‘Cult’ Royal Family to ‘Scientologists or the Stepford Family’

Despite having vowed to stop discussing the royal family, Meghan Markle’s father likened his daughter’s in-laws to a cult during an interview with The Sun newspaper.

“They are either like Scientologists or the Stepford family,” Thomas Markle said. “If they hear anybody say anything they just lock the doors. They need to speak up!”

Calling the royal family “cult-like,” Thomas Markle suggested he still hasn’t been able to reach the Duchess of Sussex because her new family operated like the Church of Scientology. “They are secretive,” he said. “They close the door, pull the shades down and put their fingers in their ears so they don’t have to hear.”

He added: “Maybe they have a secret handshake too! You cannot ask a question of them—as they won’t answer.”

In a series of previous interviews, the 74-year-old retired Hollywood lighting director said he had not spoken to his daughter since she married Prince Harry in May. He suggested her phone number had changed since he last spoke with Meghan Markle, 37, telling The Sun in July this is “the longest time I have gone without speaking to her ever.”

Markle claimed he was “done” talking about Queen Elizabeth II’s family during a conversation with The Mail on Sunday earlier in the month.

“I’m not mad at Harry. I’m not mad at Meghan. I love them. I wish them well,” Thomas Markle said. “But as for the rest of it, f**k it. I’m done.”

Thomas Markle’s incessant interviews were met with silence from the family from the first moment he made headlines for staging paparazzi photos ahead of his daughter’s wedding, which he did not attend due to an open heart surgery he underwent just days before the event. The couple did issue a statement to inform the public of his absence from the ceremony.

Meghan Markle’s father is the worst.

“I’m done”?

Ha!

We’ve told you before: As long as he is being paid for interviews, Thomas Markle is definitely not done.

Congratulations to MinnieMe for being first with the correct answer!

    Everyone agrees that this is about Meghan Markle, but I have to get this off my chest: I can’t stand her. I think she’s fake, and they’re doomed … and yes, I believe this because I am 100% jealous because she’s so pretty and got herself a prince. HOWEVER, I feel so bad for her! I can’t understand why her dad would be doing this (forget about siblings), why would he be talking to the press when she’s obviously asked him not to? Meghan, you go, girl! Good luck to you! (Even tho I hate…

  2. donna47129 says

    Her family is horrible, and are turning everything into a circus.

    Now all we need is for Harry to threaten to kick his *, and then I can say I’ve seen it all. Sad.

  4. marykatez says

    This is just so great. Meghan is awful. She’s abandoned her family and that’s why they’re acting out. I’ve dated psychopaths and they’re always estranged from their family and they blame them. Meanwhile, looking back at the terrible relationships and all the crap they put me through, I now realize THEY were the problem. But whatever, hilarious she’s putting them through all this. Long live Queen Kate the great!

  5. Mumumumu says

    The only thing the Markle family has accomplished so far is to have people sympathize with Meghan.

    I’ve never seen people so tone-deaf as how they come across to others. Everything they’ve done to this point has blown in their faces.

    Just give them enough rope, Meghan.

  6. Maximus says

    Why does the media or anyone else care what her family has to say? Sorry, she wasn’t that famous to begin with

  7. hazura jane says

    If the House of Windsor had done their due diligence, they’d have been aware of this guy’s potential to gush like a cut artery. Off-the-chart cringe.

  8. Roryss says

    Oh, poor Markel girl again! She really has a disfunctional, mental family but to be fair she could have dealed with them better.

  9. theheb says

    Too easy!
    Megan Markle and the royal family of course.

    Optional – neither. They are in a world of their own!

  13. swimmersuite says

    Megan Markle
    The Royals

    I would go with more stepford than Scientology but I’m sure there are reasons they have to be like that.

  14. River8 says

    I realy hope the media stops paying attention to these toxic people. I don’t even like the royals or Megan but nobody deserves that garbage family and the media is only making it worse.

  15. GoTellTheBees says

    Well this one is easy ! Almost a giveaway with the “royal fit” !
    Meghan Markle. She’s right in ignoring that so called “family” of hers. What kind of relatives would put her through this ?

  18. jm1879 says

    This is Meagain sparkles markle…the duchess of suSEX
    Clues:
    Pitch a royal fit and
    Her father and half sister keep going to the press with stories about her and her new family

    New family is the British royal family

    Definitely more stepford wives in my opinion with a splash of Scientology mixed in for even more creepiness. Why…because of all the protocol that the women must follow but they are free to leave it all if they so chose and live as commoners. Scientologist…not so…

  20. Kitty S says

    Meghan Markle and the royal family.

    I’m starting to feel sorry for her, her father has sunk to a new low.

  21. dawnray says

    Megan Markle and her loud mouthed father who has given yet another interview calling the RF, like Scientologists or a Stepford family, cult like.

  23. southern74 says

    This is just name calling by the Markle family. They actually don’t have any intel that the royal reporters and other media outlets crave. So yes, this is a shambles for the royal family PR machine BUT actually the more these people continue to toss their toys the less interesting it will become. They have no new info to provide though undoubtedly a distraction the royal family don’t want. Harry made a big mistake.

  26. loopylou600 says

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    New Family: The British Royal Family

    The Sun newspaper printed the story.

    [Optional] Is her new family more Scientology or more Stepford? Why? They are neither. They have never publicly retaliated against any backlash, they are a centuries old family. The Markle’s will continue to be ignored. The Royal
    family buckle up and ship out those who won’t or don’t fit in, or toe the line.

  27. spookie says

    Meghan Markle

    The Saxe-Coburg-Gothas, ahem, rather “The Windsors”.

    Honestly, Meghan’s family on her dad’s side are a giant trash fire. I have no idea how she/her husband’s family didn’t see this coming a mile off and try to prevent it.

  28. Carrotcake says

    Meghan Markle and the Royal family. They need to modernize and talk to Meghans dad. Above all treat him with as much dignity as Doria. The fact that Meghan didn’t invite her relatives to the wedding should say all about her, what a snob.

  31. Parade says

    Princess Henry, Dutchess of Sussex. Her father and his side of the family are truly grifters and bigots, as earlier in the week “dad” started whining about not getting any support (money) from his children and he expected to be paid back for educating Meghan. What kind of parent thinks like he does???? Nuts.

  32. spicyone says

    Megan Markle
    The Royal Family
    They are worse than Scientology! They are a satanic cult! Wait till she has to do her first sacrifice (it may be her dad or loud mouth sister)

    • Darolyn says

      This! Thank you so much for saying what I’m thinking. I wish more people would wake up to the truth about this “family”. THEY ARE A SATANIC CULT! I agree there will be some sacrifices made in her family and I don’t expect her to live long either.

  36. BobNYC says

    Meghan Markle.
    House of Windsor
    She warned them what they were getting into with him. — How long before they off him?

  37. ILUVCA4evr says

    Actress: La Markle

    New Family: The Royals

    [Optional] Is her new family more Scientology or more Stepford? Why? Neither. The ‘Royal Code’ is a family unto itself that us mere mortals can wish we understood.

    Markle’s family is all low life crazies. Anyone who listens to them are idiots.

  41. vajislav says

    These Markle creatures!
    I can’t believe they’d prefer to be a stain on the marriage of their own sister/daughter because they can’t get a paycheck.
    No wonder Doria got out of there while Megan was so young, thank God.

  43. boyjack4 says

    Poor,poor Meghan. This family is a train wreck, how they can profess to love her I don’t know. Wow! All fuelled by that abhorrent step sister.

  45. redstilettos says

    Harry is going to regret marrying an actress with a hot mess family. A lot of people don’t like Kate, but her family is close knit and wouldn’t sell her out.

  46. badgerette85 says

    Markle’s v. Royals…again! Too bad she didn’t converse with Fergie prior to the nuptials!

  47. elphie says

    Queen Elizabeth is gonna have a cow… she does not tolerate scandal… poor Meghan Markle and her prince

  49. JayneDoe says

    Markle family and the royal family. This is getting to be a soap opera. Kind of a fun train wreck to watch.

    I wouldn’t say the Royal family is a cult but they are so removed from reality they have their own rules and think they are normal. So probably more Stepford-like. Even the commoners among them (until now) got the rules. Meghan Markle and her clan don’t. Meghan is acting along but I don’t see her being able to pull it off in the long run.

  51. GretaGuesses says

    Bwahahaha, you tell ’em, Daddy Markle! Sparkles seems to have become ashamed of the dad who raised her, paid her private schooling and college, the dad she regularly praised for his support, inspiration, guidance, the dad she loved. She said these things on her blog, up until her relationship with Harry went public. Now daddy doesn’t tick the right PC boxes for her, so she’s dumped him and is embarrassed by him. So he’s giving her something to be embarrassed about.

  53. Tallie says

    Prince * has really thrown a royal tantrum pushing his will marrying this actress. It’s disgusting how the actress and her dysfunctional family had brought such shame to RF
    Sparkles family is trailer trash and so is she.

  54. sweetiepeach says

    Meghan Markle
    The British Royal Family

    I wonder if her dad is in the early stages of dementia or possibly suffers from mental illness. It’s a very sad situation.

  56. Searlait says

    Actress: Meghan Markle
    New Family: The House of Windsor
    Optional: Stepford because she will be expected to conform to the way they want her to be such as behaviour, dress, what she should or shouldn’t say etc

  58. lmhilly1971 says

    Megan markle

    I just no longer read any articles that involve these flakes anymore. Her family members are a bunch of hooligans, ignore them

  59. TonySheridan says

    Meghan Markle, The British Royal Family, and her new family is neither Stepford nor Scientologist. Her old family, that is her father’s side, is flat out bonkers.

  63. rayodeplata says

    Meghan Markle
    British Royal Family

    Neither Scientologist nor Stepford, but of course they like to keep their booboos as secret as possible.

  66. freckles23 says

    Man… Meghan Markle shoulda just invited some of her family to the wedding. Mayyyybe this wouldn’t have gotten so bad.

  67. tehdarwinator says

    Poor Meghan. This can only be her father.

    Her new family is far too messy for either of those descriptions.

  70. katnmowse says

    Ok Megan might be a gold digging brat but her family is horrendous and I do feel sorry for her.

  72. ladyoftheisles says

    obv Markle and her “family she never had”, the British Royal Family. Her father’s done three interviews and her half sister can’t keep her trap shut.

  73. GayleStorm says

    Me again Markle
    The Firm, a.k.a. the British royal family.
    I think the BRF are more like Scientologists. If a member goes against the “family”, they will make that person’s life miserable for all of their remaining days. Princess Diana (r.i.p.) and Fergie/ Duchess of York found out the hard way.

  77. carriebradshaw says

    Meghan Markle and The Royals

    I personally think her new family is much less disfunktional than her father and her siblings.

  80. AHHAof3 says

    You’re good, Ace! This story was just published in the Sun, and the BG comments haven’t even had time to be made public yet! Poor Megan. She’s in an awful position. Not sure who has/had it worse as a newly-minted royal-Diana or Megan.

  81. nowyoutellme says

    This is Meghan Markle’s father, no doubt. Those marrying into the “royal” family cult are like those entering Scientology but their public appearances are like the Stepford wives.

  84. jlsl45 says

    Actress: Meghan Markle

    New Family: The British Royal Family

    [Optional] Is her new family more Scientology or more Stepford? Why? I would have to say Stepford. The woman are expected to dress, act and speak a certain way and anything less will not be tolerated.

    As a side note, when is her father just going to shut his pie hole and crawl back into his Mexican hole. Seriously, dude NO ONE CARES! Although, I guess it is a tad bit amusing.

  86. ashleyb234 says

    Meghan Markle

    The Royal Family

    I don’t get why these people are doing this… she’s NOT going to give into their demands, this isn’t going to make her want to invite them into her life. Honestly if she were to leave Harry they would be happy and that makes me sick. Leave her the hell alone

  88. Snapdragon says

    Meghan Markle and her dad. I am sure the royal family is quite annoyed with him and his shenanigans, but when it comes down to it they are the Royal Family that has survived plenty of scandals, and he comes off as an opportunistic grifter. I don’t see him revealing anything that they won’t spin in their favor.

  89. blackcoffee28 says

    Meghan Markle and the Royal family!

    Probably more Stepford. They seem to want the women of the family to be more demure and traditional in their roles.

  90. TeaDrinker says

    Meghan Markle
    The Royal Family of the UK
    Optional: I see them as being a bit of both. Princess Diana hated the Stepford wife aspect of it but she was also pressured to keep quiet about it (like Scientology).

  92. cashatho7890 says

    Actress: Markle
    Family: The Royals

    Optional: I’d say more Stepfordish – I have limited experience watching them but it seems that the women who marry in go through a very posh renovation of their mannerisms looks and style. Nothing sinister though LOL I definitely admire the Royal Family!

  97. Raoul Duke says

    Meghan Windsor(?)

    The Windsors

    Mirror ran the article, I don’t think either really. The family has a strict code of conduct and dress, I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Thomas Markle is a fool comparing the Royal Family and a crackpot religion.

  101. pookiefoodstuffs says

    Thomas Markle and he’s an arse.
    Family is neither stepford or Scientology but quirky for sure.

  102. amagod121 says

    Miss Meghan Sparkle Markle.

    New family: The Windsors.

    Optional: Probably more Scientology but her father is behaving very cruelly to her. He doesn’t seem to care whether or not he destroys her, her marriage, and/or her familial relationship with the Windsors. Simply a horrible man!

    • Tequila Mama says

      Totally agree with you. He’s basically acting like a sperm donor who never had a relationship with his daughter. He’s poking the bear and the bear is going to bite back.

  104. sunshine702 says

    Meghan Markle
    The Windsors
    Bahahahaha. I see both. Scientology for anyone who goes against them cough cough Diana.
    And very Stepford for anyone who joins cough cough Kate.

  105. bertwheeler says

    Meghan Markle.
    The House of Windsor.
    Closer to Scientologists.

    Can’t understand why a woman would want to marry into that crowd. Would she put up with any other family where grandma calls the shots? That whole “fairytale romance” crap is just that: a fairytale.

  107. TNSunny says

    Princess Sparkle aka Meghan Markle again. (sigh) My money is on her father bringing down the entire House of WIndsor. Grifters going to grift and the royal family has deep pockets. I don’t feel a bit sorry for the WIndsors nor Meghan.

  111. OhYeah says

    Meghan Markle & the Royal Family. They aren’t Stepford or Scientology; they’re just (publicly) well-behaved…for the most part.

  114. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Meghan Markle
    & the British Royal Family

    Stepford Wives were drugged to dress and behave agreeably to please their husbands… In the Royals, it is about pleasing the Queen.

    • Mumpus says

      As it should be about the Queen. She’s the matriarch that’s kept the family (and more importantly, public opinion) at bay for 50+ years – we’re stuffed once she’s gone…

  116. Marvella says

    Markle is a grown woman, who has been married and divorce once already. She’s old enough to make her own decisions. The family needs to butt out once and for all.
