MEGHAN MARKLE'S half brother Thomas Markle Jr has warned "horrifying and hurtful" details of the Duchess' letter to her estranged father are yet to be revealed.
Meghan Markle and Harry have 'less privacy in LA' says expert
Thomas Markle Jr, 53, has claimed the contents of the letter, which is currently at the centre of a high-profile privacy case at the High Court, contains more "hurtful" and "horrifying" details which have yet to be publicly revealed. Meghan Markle is currently suing Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over a series of articles the Mail on Sunday published in February 2019, which shared extracts from the letter she sent to her father Thomas Markle.
The Duchess is suing ANL over five articles that were published in February 2019, which reproduced parts of the handwritten letter.
Meghan claims the articles were a breach of privacy, copyright infringement and breaking the Data Protection Act.
ANL wholly denies the allegations.
Her father and half-brother are both expected to give evidence against Meghan as part of the case.
Meghan hasn't spoken to her father Thomas, 76, since she married Prince Harry in May 2018.
In an interview with The Mirror, Thomas Markle Jr reveals their father has given up making amends with his daughter.
He said: “As far as a reunion goes, he’s given up on Meghan and Harry completely.
“He doesn’t trust her and doesn’t want to know that person because of the lies, manipulation and deceit.

"He just had his 76th birthday – needless to say, he didn’t hear from Meghan.”
But he said Thomas, who lives in Rosarito, Mexico, is still desperate to build a relationship with his 14-month-old grandson Archie - whom he's never met.
Meghan's half-brother also hinted his father might even launch a court case against her to ensure he is allowed to see the young child.
Thomas Jr said: “He will fight and pursue the avenues needed to see Archie.

"They’re not the only ones who can launch a court case.
"He’d love to hold that little boy one time.”
The 53-year-old added: “Dad wants to die a happy man. He’s had enough BS.
“He’s better off enjoying his retirement and travelling – and forget Meghan altogether.”
Last week it was revealed Meghan had to pay more than £67,888 in legal costs after losing the first round of her legal challenge in the infamous court case.
The legal bill arose after the High Court's Justice Warby ruled in favour of the publisher and struck out parts of the Duchess' claim as irrelevant.
Meghan's lawyers had wanted to argue that the newspaper had acted dishonestly by "deliberately stirring up" issues between her and her father.
But in a judgment in May, Mr Justice Warby struck out those claims, and ANL pursued the Duchess over the costs of the hearing.
In legal documents released on Wednesday, the High Court was told that "following written submissions by both parties, on July 22 2020 the claimant agreed to pay the defendant's costs in full (£67,888)."
