Meghan Markle has been the picture of elegance from the moment she was first linked to Prince Harry.

[Meghan Markle’s family](https://www.nowtolove.com.au/celebrity/celeb-news/meet-meghan-markle-parents-41245 – in particular her half siblings Samantha Markle and her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. – have been the polar opposite.

And as their nasty feud continues, it would appear the former Suits actress has sent a clear message.

Meghan shares the same father with her two half siblings.

Meghan’s half brother Thomas Markle Jr., who was 14 when his sister was born, told In Touch that he’d recently reached out to his sister for help.

The 51-year-old had mailed her a letter congratulating her on her wedding news, and apologised for any embarrassment he may have caused.

Things that could fall under the embarrassment category include but are not limited to: his arrests, pointing a gun at his fiancee Darlene Blount and having a drunk fight with her on New Year’s Eve.

Meghan has not commented on Thomas’ run-in with the law. Get to know her family in the video below!

Meghan never responded to the letter.

Assuming it must have been case of lost post, Thomas attempted to get in contact with Harry’s future wife by getting his lawyer to call Buckingham Palace.

He was hoping she’d help him deal with all the extra press that now approach him.

“My lawyer had a phone meeting with her lawyer, and he emailed me some of her direct words. She said, ‘That’s distant family and I don’t know those people.'”

“That’s pretty harsh,” he relayed.

Thomas has done countless interviews about his famous sister.

The pair, according to the Oregon native, “spent a lot of time with her growing up.”

Thomas says they grew apart when Meghan moved to Toronto in 2011 for her role on Suits.

“We were as close as we could be, as tight as we could be, that’s what we were,” he said.
