'Meghan is stuck - if she tries to contact her family they will just sell stories'

The root of Meghan Markle's problems with her family is money, a Royal expert has said. After they "got rich" from her situation, things can never been the same again for her and Prince Harry, according to Tessa Dunlop. “Obviously what's happened is they've all taken the dime," she revealed exclusively to OK!, "in a way that Kate Middleton’s family have all kind of got rich from her being in the Royal family." She continued: “But they’ve kind of made it work [the Middleton family], that's a functional version of what could be called ‘cashing in on loyalty’ in a discreet fashion. "It's all kind of gone horribly wrong in the case of Megan's family.” After the lawsuit brought by Samantha Markle against her half-sister, Meghan Markle, was dismissed by US judge earlier this year, it's safe to say the family aren't on the best of terms.

Tessa reveals that trust is the key component in any relationship, and says of Samantha Markle and Meghan: "Obviously with the pushy Princess book, then she tried to sue her recently and it failed, there’s a lot of bad blood there, more than sibling rivalry one feels, bitter with the father.” She adds: “If these family members are paying to have their stories publicised then there's a breakdown in trust there, just as there is with the royal family.” It's not just Meghan's family that's at fault though, Harry's memoir and the Royal Family's silence on the matter have caused hurt on both sides.

Tessa continues: “And it’s kind of being reflected back at them what the Royal Family I presume, although they never articulate what they're feeling, but one presumes is hurt around Harry, flogging a memoir at their expense and likewise, you've got Thomas Markle and Samantha Markle doing a similar thing,.
