Samantha Markle has accused her sister Meghan of “elder abuse” and begged her to help out after their dad suffered a suspected stroke.
Meghan Markle ’s estranged sister has asked her sister to stop “watching and doing nothing” after their father was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.
The 57-year-old sister claimed Meghan’s behaviour was like “elder abuse” after she was accused of failing to contact her since the news broke of Thomas Markle’s failing health.
The 77-year-old dad has had a rocky relationship with his daughter Meghan and often spoke publicly about her.
He was struck down with the stroke where he lives in Rosarito, Mexico, and lost his speech.
He is believed to be in a clinic only a few hours drive from where Meghan currently lives with Prince Harry.
Speaking on GB New, Samantha became emotional as she accused her own sister of “negligence”.
She said: “He's [Thomas] been through so much. Two heart attacks, a pandemic and now a stroke. None of us have heard from Meghan - that's negligence.
“If she can't find it in her heart or have the moral conscience to step forward then shame on her.
“He doesn't have a lot of time. She's going to have to live with that for the rest of her life”.
When asked if she thought Meghan could help with the medical costs, Samantha claimed she would be “spinning her wheels” if she tried to appeal to her now.
“She could have contacted him to work things out at any time and she hasn’t. How can she watch him suffer like this? Who does that?”
Samantha is the latest of Meghan’s family members after her father to speak out against the Duchess. She used the TV show to publicly attack her sister over such a personal topic.
Samantha flew from her home in Florida to the hospital near San Diego to see her father.
In footage shared online, Thomas can be seen on a stretcher wearing an oxygen mask as two paramedics lift him.
Continuing his long habit of grabbing publicity thanks to his relationship with his daughter, Thomas was due in London next week as a TV guest during the jubilee celebration.
His health however, seems to have prevented this.
He has had a difficult relationship with his daughter, who he frequently spoke about in the media and he previously accused her husband, Prince Harry, of being “snotty”.
Last month when he publicly announced he was flying to the UK for the royal celebrations, he said he wanted to meet Harry and Meghan.
He added he wanted to meet Prince Charles and joked that they had both been “ghosted by our own children”.
