{UAH} Meghan Markle's brother says he's been left homeless and is at the ‘lowest point’ in his life due to his sister’s royal status

Alan Barigye/ Ikanos,,

Some one needs to teach this Markle family how to deal with the UK Royals. They should completely abandon being American and just become simple, obedient servants. They are sitting on a bank reserve but they dont know how to mint it. The father, the sister and now the brother have behaved so atrociously- they thought they would simply use their royal connection by remote control- and it would open the golden gate. They need professional advisors, even at this late stage. The Queen owns almost half of England, and what is to stop her from giving this homeless brother in law a country mansion? They need to understand their role and play their part. They are making a mistake of thinking they have also become royals and can do as they like. That's a big error as they are realising to their cost. To fit in that family you need to learn two things: 1/ SHUT YOUR MOUTH 2/ AVOID PUBLICITY- DISAPPEAR INTO THE BACKGROUND. Try not to be the story despite temptations brought about by money and fame. You can then eat quietly and anonymously- and they will not give you any trouble.

Meghan Markle's half-brother has claimed he lost his job and is now homeless, blaming the scrutiny he's been put under since his sister became a royal.

Thomas Markle Jr, 52, said he had been forced to live "under a microscope" since Meghan married Prince Harry and had reached " the lowest point of my life".

Mr Markle told the Sun Online he's spent the past two months living in a hotel room in Oregon, US, with fiancé Darlene, her son and their two dogs – having lost his job and his home.

He said his name had become so notorious in his home town of Grants Pass since his half-sister became the Duchess of Sussex, that no one was willing to employ him or lease him a house.

"This is the lowest point of my life," he told the Sun.

"Living in a small hotel room is really taking its toll on Darlene and her son – on all of us.

"And it's all because my life suddenly got catapulted into the spotlight – through no fault of my own.

"My every move has been put under the microscope – not just for me but all my family.

"Now there's been so much said about me – both true and untrue – no one wants to lease me a house or give me a job."

Mr Markle – the son of Meghan's father – claimed his problems started earlier this year, when ill health prevented him from continuing his work as a glazier.

He was then forced to leave his home after he was issued an eviction notice by his landlord, who went on to claim that he had trashed the property and owed him money.

"Suddenly every local station was talking about how I was evicted, how I trashed this house," Mr Markle said.

"But it was all untrue – I have pictures proving I left the house in a good condition. I would never trash a house – that's not the kind of person I am.

"I got late on my rent because I was out of work and I had this joint problem. I had to go to hospital for three times and see a specialist."

The 52-year-old claimed his former landlord called him a "lowlife, a freeloader, a scumbag" in a number of interviews, and said that he owed him money and was being evicted, "which wasn't true".

"I couldn't believe it – I feel he unfairly treated me because of who I am. He took advantage of who I am, used it against me and made me look like the bad guy."

Mr Markle said the false accusations against him had made it almost impossible for him to find an alternative home, and for the first time in his life, he was struggling to find work.

"I'm still out of work – I've been applying to places but they hear my name and I don't get it. I've even been applying to things I'm over qualified for. This has never happened to me before in my life," he told the Sun.

"The problem is I'm known as Thomas Markle, Meghan's crazy brother now.

"I've gone from being a private person to having everything I've ever done in my life out there for everybody."
