The Most Shady, Shocking, And Scandalous Secrets About Meghan Markle

Ever since it was revealed Meghan Markle was dating the British Royal, Prince Harry, all eyes were on the Hollywood actress. However, despite being followed 24/7, there are still a lot of secrets we don't know about her, but many of these are now being revealed. An old friend of Meghan's, Ninaki Priddy, branded her as "calculated" in the way she handles people and relationships. She also revealed Meghan always dreamt of being famous, recalling, "she just loved to be the center of attention."

Meghan has been referred to by her estranged half-sister as a "social climber." Allegedly, since the fame and fortune, Meghan chose to distance herself from her family (or at least tried to). Her sister, Samantha Grant, believed that Meghan tactfully made her way to become a princess, rather than it being due to romance. "Hollywood has changed her. I think her ambition is to become a princess," said Grant when Markle and Prince Harry started dating. But can her sister be trusted?

No one in the Markle family seems to get along. Both half-sister, Samantha, and half-brother, Thomas Jr., have made allegations in the public media that the other sibling has been cut out of the family. Furthermore, despite Prince Harry making a comment that the Royals are like the family she never had, one family member suggested this was not the case. "She's had a really good family," said Thomas Markle Jr, "We were as close as we could be, as tight as we could be, that's what we were."

Once a successful lighting director, Meghan's dad used to work on shows such as General Hospital and Married With Children. But while his daughter may be living the life as a Royal, her dad is far from this. In 2016, Thomas Markle filed for bankruptcy with very little in his account, credit card debts, and unpaid tax debts for almost two decades. While his salary may not have been on the top end of the spectrum, his possible struggles started after his divorce from Doria, Meghan's mom.

It was revealed last minute that Markle's dad would not be attending her Royal wedding. Confirming the news, she said, "Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health." Meanwhile, her reaction behind closed doors was much less matter-of-fact. Apparently, the shocking news of his absence "reduced both Meghan and Harry to tears."
