Meghan & Harry 'depriving children of their relatives'

As Meghan Markle's estranged family hits out, royal expert Jennie Bond says the Sussexes are "unforgiving" and should "extend their kindness" to her father

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines yet again last week following the release of an explosive documentary, where Meghan’s half-sister Samantha Markle said her marriage to Harry is “toxic” and that they are “unhealthy for each other”.

The show, which was made for 7News Spotlight in Australia, gave Samantha, 58, and her dad Thomas Markle another opportunity to air their grievances about Meghan, and in Thomas’ case, a chance to beg for a reconciliation with his daughter.

But while she acknowledges that the situation between them all is “very, very sad”, leading royal expert Jennie Bond has told us that she thinks the comments from Meghan’s family are nothing short of “poisonous”.

However, it’s not just the Markles that have come under fire from Jennie, and in an exclusive interview with new, she also explains why she thinks Meghan, 41, is “unforgiving”, and claims she thinks she and Harry don’t practise what they preach when it comes to love and kindness.
