Meghan Markle’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., has been criticized for mocking the duchess in a childish video uploaded to YouTube last week.

The 87-minute video shows Thomas wearing a wig and tiara, mocking Meghan. Thomas stuffs a pillow in his shirt to simulate a pregnant belly.

“My name’s Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch,” Thomas says in the video. “I was just showing off the new bump I bought used on eBay out of Montecito.”

In the past, Thomas has shared conspiracy theories about Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, including speculation that she faked her births. Thomas has also mocked Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland. On one occasion, Thomas called Meghan’s brand America Riviera Orchard “American River Whore Orchard.”

Despite not having a relationship, Meghan has been the topic of several of her half-brother’s videos. Users have called for Thomas’ account to be taken down for bullying and abuse.

Royal commentators have called the video “grotesque.”

Meghan has another half-sibling, Samantha Markle. In 2023, Samantha brought a defamation suit against Meghan, scheduled to go to trial on November 4. 

The duchess has opened up about facing online bullying and abuse during her pregnancies. At a South by Southwest event in March, Meghan said she was stepping away from social media due to the hate received.
