It’s without a doubt that this has to sting for Meghan Markle in more ways than one. There is a new report that suggests Meghan’s estranged family members are profiting from her by speaking out about their ongoing feud to the media. Here’s how.
Reports say that both Thomas Markle and Samantha Markle are being paid a pretty penny for their media interviews, in which they continually slam the Duchess for shutting them out of her life.
Thomas is allegedly making thousands of dollars in paid opportunities while Meghan’s half-sister Samantha is also raking in plenty of money. Some reports estimate that Thomas might me earning $10,000 each time he slams the royal family in an interview.
Meghan And Samantha Haven’t Spoken In Years
According to the Mirror, one source close to Samantha says that even though the two sisters haven’t spoken to each other in years, Samantha believes that she deserves every penny she is getting for airing out the Markle family’s dirty laundry in public, so to speak. Plus, Samantha apparently needs it as she struggles to make ends meet.
The insider told the site, “Samantha has every right to celebrate the birth of her niece or nephew in spring and will talk about her connection to Meghan, as they are family. She does not have an outlandish lifestyle so the money will make a difference to her. She has never been given a penny by Meghan so she has every right to earn her own money in this way.”

So far Meghan herself has not made any comments about her ongoing feud with her sister Samantha or her father Thomas Markle for that matter.
