Meghan Markle’s stepmom, Roslyn Markle, has shared her thoughts on the Duchess’ family feud, claiming that “distance” is the reason Meghan doesn’t speak to certain relatives

Meghan Markle’s estranged family dynamics are highlighted with revelations from her stepmother, Roslyn Markle, who put it down to “distance” as the critical element.
The family tension was spotlighted following Prince Harry’s remarks on BBC Radio 4, where he suggested the Royal Family was like “the family she never had”, drawing ire from Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr. , who countered that Meghan Markle “had a really good family” and was well-provided for.
Roslyn Markle, who was wedded to Meghan’s father in the 1960s, weighed in on the Duchess’ familial strife. She purports: “It’s not tension. It’s distance.”
She expounded: “When Meghan graduated from high school, she went to Northwestern which is up in Illinois. And when she finished that, she worked in Argentina. Then she started Suits and she started her acting career. It was the scenario that everyone got busy, and the distance was always a factor.”

In her exchange with Radar Online, Rosyln has maintained that Meghan did not purposefully exclude her family, yet admitted they didn’t converse much, particularly with her distant sister, Samantha Markle. Samantha, who has previously contested that Meghan enjoyed the support of a “large family”, negated Rosyln’s statements via social media.
Samantha Markle has taken to Twitter with fiery comments, asserting that Roslyn Markle is “no relation” to Meghan and branding her “crazy” for making public remarks. She clarified: “FYI I read online said that Roslyn Markle was Meghan’s stepmom LOL my dad divorced Roslyn in 74… she remarried… no relation to Meg ever and she knows nothing about our lives or Meghan!”

In another tweet, Samantha continued: “Roslyn only knows Meg from what she has studied about her in the media LOL.”
On the flip side, an insider confided to OK!magazine that Meghan is yearning for her previous lifestyle, feeling “frustrated” as she perceives Harry to be “wasting his own life”.
After her engagement to Prince Harry, Meghan left behind her Toronto existence. Yet, the source suggests that Meghan has learned the tough lesson that duchess life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
The informant alleged: “Meghan has made no secret of how much she misses her care-free life when she was an actress and while she’d never change what she has with Harry and the kids, there is a big part of her that she wishes she could just get her old life back. She loved being in Suits and all the opportunities it gave her, she’d get invited to all the exclusive events and get to hang out with Hollywood A-listers but there was so much less scrutiny and attention and there was no pressure on her.”
