The half brother of the Duchess of Sussex has made an emotional plea for an end to their long-running family fued.
Thomas Markle Jr. said he wants to "be a proper family and reconcile" following the fallout between his dad Thomas Sr and younger sister.
In the past he has publicly criticised Meghan alongside his sister Samantha Markle for cutting all contact with their dad.
He now wants Meghan to make contact with her paternal family.
The Daily Mai l reports that Thomas Jr, 53, who lives in Grants Pass, Oregan, said he has been in contact with his dad and apologised for attacking 38-year-old Meghan publicly.
He said: "I have been a bad son and a bad brother to Meg.
"I just want to put things right before it’s too late.
"I’ve had no business making things worse between him, Meghan and Harry, and I want us all, but especially them, to be a proper family and reconcile."
"I hope Meghan gets in contact but my dad needs to prepare himself for it never happening. She did not get in contact after his heart attack.
"But what she needs to remember is that she is only in Buckingham Palace with Harry because of her dad. He paid for her education and fancy clothes.
"He helped her become the exceptional woman she is and I beg her to recognise that."
Thomas Jr and 55-year-old Samantha are the children of Thomas Sr from his first marriage to his university sweetheart Roslyn Loveless.
After they divorced he married Doria Ragland who is Meghan's mum.
Earlier this year Thomas urged the Queen and Prince Charles to ‘step in’ and tell Meghan to ‘make amends’ to heal the rift with her father.
