Let’s talk about a birthday that wasn’t exactly filled with warm fuzzies. Meghan Markle turned 37, and instead of well-wishes, she got a not-so-friendly reminder from her estranged half-sister, Samantha Markle. On August 4, Samantha took to Twitter to acknowledge Meghan’s special day, but trust me, it wasn’t the kind of message anyone wants to receive on their birthday.
Here’s what Samantha reportedly tweeted: “Happy Birthday Meg! It would be so lovely and appropriate of you to send DAD a BELATED birthday card for his July 18th [cake emoji] @KensingtonRoyal Cheers!” Now, Samantha’s account is private, so this tidbit comes to us courtesy of The Daily Mail. But let’s break it down because there’s a lot going on here.
Meghan’s Dad Speaks Out
Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, whose birthday was on July 18, has been speaking out lately, sharing his frustration over not hearing from his daughter since he missed the royal wedding on May 19. It’s clear that Samantha shares her dad’s feelings, and her tweet reflects that bitterness. Thomas has been vocal in interviews, and in a recent one with The Mail on Sunday, he opened up about the situation.

“I used to have a phone number and text number for her personal aides at the Palace,” Thomas revealed, “but after I said a few critical words about the Royal Family changing Meghan, they cut me off.” Now, if you’re like me, you might be wondering what’s behind all this tension. Let’s dive a little deeper.
Thomas Markle’s Feelings on Meghan’s Success
Thomas went on to express his frustration, saying, “What riles me is Meghan’s sense of superiority. She’d be nothing without me. I made her the Duchess she is today. Everything that Meghan is, I made her. She became the woman that she is today thanks to everything I did for her.”
But here’s the kicker: “And did I get any recognition for it? Any thanks? She doesn’t even speak to me now. How cold is that?” Thomas’s words paint a picture of a man who feels deeply unappreciated by his daughter, and Samantha seems to share his sentiment. This family drama is definitely one for the tabloids, but it’s also a reminder of how complicated family relationships can be, even for someone as high-profile as Meghan Markle.
Even though Thomas and Meghan haven’t been in touch, he remembered her birthday was coming up when he spoke out last month. “It’s her birthday on Aug. 4 and I want to send her a card,” he confessed. “But if I send a birthday card to Kensington Palace, or wherever she’s living now, it’ll just be one among thousands. She’ll probably never see it.”
Samantha’s Other Tweets
As if the birthday tweet wasn’t enough, Samantha also chimed in on another topic involving Meghan. She allegedly shared an Elle article stating that Meghan and Prince Harry are rumored to be stepping away from the media spotlight. But it wasn’t just sharing the article that caught people’s attention; it was her response. Samantha reportedly said, “OK so Cruella Deville is retreating LOL. Let me know how that works out for you.”
It’s hard to imagine Meghan wanting to mend fences with Samantha after comments like these. Family dynamics can be tough, and when you add the spotlight of the royal family, it gets even more complicated.
