Meghan Is Calculated
Ever since it was revealed Meghan Markle was dating the British Royal, Prince Harry, all eyes were on the Hollywood actress. However, despite being followed 24/7, there are still a lot of secrets we don’t know about her, but many of these are now being revealed.
An old friend of Meghan’s, Ninaki Priddy, branded her as “calculated” in the way she handles people and relationships. She also revealed Meghan always dreamt of being famous, recalling, “she just loved to be the center of attention.”
Social Climber
Meghan has been referred to by her estranged half-sister as a “social climber.” Allegedly, since the fame and fortune, Meghan chose to distance herself from her family (or at least tried to).
Her sister, Samantha Grant, believed that Meghan tactfully made her way to become a princess, rather than it being due to romance. “Hollywood has changed her. I think her ambition is to become a princess,” said Grant when Markle and Prince Harry started dating. But can her sister be trusted?
Family Fueds
No one in the Markle family seems to get along. Both half-sister, Samantha, and half-brother, Thomas Jr., have made allegations in the public media that the other sibling has been cut out of the family.
Furthermore, despite Prince Harry making a comment that the Royals are like the family she never had, one family member suggested this was not the case. “She’s had a really good family,” said Thomas Markle Jr, “We were as close as we could be, as tight as we could be, that’s what we were.”
Her Dad Is Bankrupt
Once a successful lighting director, Meghan’s dad used to work on shows such as General Hospital and Married With Children.
But while his daughter may be living the life as a Royal, her dad is far from this. In 2016, Thomas Markle filed for bankruptcy with very little in his account, credit card debts, and unpaid tax debts for almost two decades. While his salary may not have been on the top end of the spectrum, his possible struggles started after his divorce from Doria, Meghan’s mom.
Meghan’s Dad Reduced Her And Harry To Tears
It was revealed last minute that Markle’s dad would not be attending her Royal wedding. Confirming the news, she said, “Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health.”
Not Enough Attention
According to Meghan’s sister, Samantha, Meghan is not paying enough attention to her father. After making numerous attempts to speak to Meghan about the health of their 74-year-old dad, Kensington Palace refused to respond.
Unsure whether Meghan was even aware of this, her publicist took to Twitter as the “only option we have left.” He claimed, “This DOESN’T need to be public, we would prefer to keep this private. Samantha is coming to the UK this week, like it or not.”
Meghan’s Brother Is A Criminal
Meghan’s older half-brother is certainly not royal family material. Just like his father, he is on his second divorce and similarly declared his own bankruptcy in 2013.

However, the real topper is that Thomas Markle Jr. was taken into custody after allegedly holding a weapon to his girlfriend’s head. He was charged with unlawful use of a dangerous weapon, menacing, and domestic violence. This does not sound like ideal behavior for a brother-in-law of Prince Harry.
Suits Warnings
When Markle revealed to her co-stars that she was dating Prince Harry, you can only imagine the excitement and delight. But one star, Rick Hoffman, decided to look out for his friend and colleague.

“And then I was just like take it slow, be careful, don’t let him hurt you,” he warned the Royal-to-be. Despite their incredible shock, they all hoped nothing but the best for Meghan. This came after she told them all excitedly that the prince was “great.” Maybe they were just worried based on Harry’s past mischievous ways?
Why She Divorced
One of the biggest controversies in Harry and Meghan’s engagement was the fact she was previously divorced. Before meeting Harry, Meghan was married to producer Trevor Engelson for two years. They split citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Meanwhile, a former friend of Meghan, Ninaki Priddy, revealed her career ultimately led to their splitting. Another source said the stress of a long-distance relationship likely played a part, as Meghan lived in Canada filming Suits and her husband was in Los Angeles.
Briefcase Babe
Before becoming a Royal, Meghan made an appearance as the case model on Deal or No Deal, hosted by Howie Mandel. Meghan was one of those beautiful women who would open cases to reveal a winning amount.

Her time on the show lasted from 2006 to 2007 and she once said in an interview that the only reason she did the show was to make ends meet. “Definitely working on Deal or No Deal was a learning experience, and it helped me to understand what I would rather be doing,” she said.
Meghan Revealed A Little Too Much
While we can imagine the Queen wasn’t very pleased about this, back in 2013, Meghan Markle took part in a seductive photo shoot for the Canadian magazine, Sharp.

Of course, becoming a Royal means anything and everything from your past can creep up to haunt you, and if it’s on the internet there is no hiding. Although some outfits are sheer and revealing, she is fortunately not naked in any of the pictures, much to the Royals’ delight.
Bow To The Daddy
After turning up to Kensington Palace unannounced, Samantha was overcome with online abuse. However, she hit back in support of her shared father with Meghan saying that the “Duchess should bow to the daddy.”

Accusing her half-sister of giving “fake waves and smiles,” and not giving time to “the one who was always there for her,” Samantha simply wanted Meghan to reach out to her father so he could know she is well, happy, and to touch base.
