Meghan Markle’s family feud has been aired out further with her estranged brother releasing a letter. James Weir recaps.
Meghan Markle continues to unwittingly be the biggest star on Big Brother VIP when her weird half-brother takes part in a shameless stunt during Monday night’s episode and writes a Part II to the insult-laden letter he famously sent Prince Harry before the royal wedding.
It’s always wonderful to see the lost art of letter writing hasn’t completely died. Nothing adds a romantic touch to an offensive missive quite like a calligraphy pen and monogrammed stationery.
JAMES WEIR RECAPS: Read all the recaps here
One week into Big Brother VIP and Thomas Markle Jr has been playing all his greatest hits. It’s boring — we get it, you’re annoyed because Meg reckons she’s too ritzy to hang out with you now.
Even Big Brother himself is sick of hearing the regurgitated tabloid yarns. So, in an attempt to get some new information and generate fresh global headlines, he forces Thomas to pen a companion letter to the one he famously sent Harry ahead of the royal wedding, warning the Duke to ditch the actress. What a thoughtful and considerate suggestion! A beautiful keepsake to treasure.
Thomas might not be the savviest guy, but surely he knows this is not the best decision.
“OK, that’s a good idea,” he nods to Big Brother’s advice, picking up the fountain pen and yellow legal pad that have been helpfully provided in the Diary Room.
“I’m here to prove to myself and the entire world that Tom Markle Jr is an awesome person,” he muses. “To show Meghan Markle that I’m not the jerk in the tabloids from this whole big misunderstanding.”
Sure. A letter written as a television stunt will undo all those years of relentlessly trashing your sister in the tabloids. We kinda hope, when the letter arrives in Santa Barbara, Harry and Meghan fetch it from the mailbox and then skip next door to Oprah’s house, where they sit around her backyard and read it aloud while giggling and making fun of Thomas’s penmanship.
Thomas starts scribbling away and then reads to us his prose. Please enjoy the following transcript that has been edited for clarity but mostly because life is too short to read the whole thing.
“Dear Meghan and Harry, the first thing I wanna say to both of you is I am sorry from the bottom of my heart for the awful, mean letter I wrote to you prior to your wedding,” he begins.
“And I want both of you to know it did not come from the real person I am — (it) came from the dark and hurt part of my heart. I am not a mean person at all and I have more love inside me to give than anything.”
Totally understandable! And obviously that truckload of trash-talk you dished about her just five days ago on this very show also just came from that old, dark part of your heart. But, please, continue!
“I was very hurt and confused because of the amazing bond and relationship we shared growing up together,” he adds.
“And all I could do was put up a defence wall to protect my heart. I know it was immature and wrong and I truly regret it. When your relationship with Harry became known to the world, my life then became public. I, along with everyone in our family, became public figures overnight – no more privacy. And let me tell you it was very stressful to have to deal with all along with no help at all.
“I wish I could turn back the clock and do it all over knowing what I know now. I never would have tried to communicate any of my feelings in the media. I feel like a complete ass for what I have done and I’m truly sorry for that.”
It then just starts going around in circles and he keeps saying “turn back the clock” and then we get distracted thinking about that Cher song.
Ugh, we’re exhausted. Surely there’s something more interesting going on elsewhere in the mansion.
Producers know they haven’t got much to work with which is why they just keep flip-flopping between Thomas insulting Meghan and Caitlyn Jenner shading Kris. Speaking of which …
Caitlyn’s asked whether she’s on friendly terms with her ex-wife.
“Friendly is an interesting (word) that you use,” she says, with a sly eyebrow raise. “I would say, from my standpoint, our relationship is not as good as it should be. Because I don’t have any hard feelings towards her — we did a great job at this and that. But I wish it was closer but it’s not.”
“Are there misgivings from her?” someone asks.
“I think that’s an understatement. Our relationship is OK but I think it could be better just because of the kids.”
And with that, Caitlyn decides to smokebomb outta the mansion. She’s insulted Kris two or three times now since the show kicked off a week ago. Producers have gotten what they wanted and she knows there ain’t nothin’ more to give. Her duties have been fulfilled.
Ciao, Ms Jenner.
