Meghan Markle’s step brother, Thomas Markle Jr, is one of the contestants on this year’s season of Big Brother VIP. He will be packed with several others in a hotel as every move and conversation will be broadcasted on live TV for the whole world to see. The programme will go on air in November, but the trailer was released earlier this week and it looks like this is yet another show the royals have to stay away from.

Obsessed with his little sister

Markle Jr set his intentions straight on the trailer and it looks like he is using his position on the show to get back at his little sister. The 55-year-old window fitter remained silent about his own life, but couldn’t stop talking about Meghan Markle. In one clip, he is seen revealing details about the relationship between Meghan and her ex-husband with his hotel mates. He said:

The guy that she was married to the first time - she just walked all over him and dumped him.
Harry's on the chopping block next.

Merkle family drama takes over Big Brother

The producers heavily focused on his strained relationship with his sister during the trailer and even ended it with a scene in which he is writing a letter to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. He said while writing:

Dear Meghan and Harry, the first thing I want to say to both of you…

This is not the first time Markle Jr has lashed out on Meghan in public. He, like his father Thomas Markle, has been very vocal about how he feels about Meghan’s entry into the royal family. He previously told the press:

I’m Meghan Markle’s brother. I’m the biggest brother of them all.
I told Prince Harry, I think she’s going to ruin your life. She’s very shallow.
