Thomas Markle and Samantha 'not on same page' about Meghan reconciliation, expert claims

Samantha Markle is reportedly not on the "same page" as father Thomas Markle Sr who wishes to reconcile with his estranged daughter Meghan Markle, according to an expert, the Express reports.

The Duchess of Sussex's older half-sister made it clear she was not willing to mend her relationship with the mother-of-two, claimed behavioural analyst Bedros Spidey Akkelian as she sat down to film an exclusive bombshell interview with Australia's Channel 7.

Samantha came together with her father Thomas Markle Sr and brother, Thomas Jr, to speak about their past with Meghan before she married into the royals, making it the family's first on-screen reunion since the Duchess tied the knot with Harry in 2018.

Markle makes several shocking claims about Meghan throughout the interview and appeared to strongly disagree with the reconciliation wishes her father made, a body language expert revealed.

According to Bedros Bedros Spidey Akkelian, who analysed Samantha Markle's body language during the discussion in a YouTube clip, the expert claims Samantha seems "past the point" where there is any possibility of a reconciliation between her and Meghan.

During the interview, Samantha was asked whether or not she felt there was a chance of putting the "water under the bridge" and fixing her relationship with her half sister to which she responded: "I don’t think she would do it without a motive".

Spidey suggests the telling extract reveals a lot about Samantha's hostile feelings towards the Duchess, adding: "I don’t think there is any part of her who believes Meghan is capable of not being the worst thing in the world.

"I think for her, her [...] position in the [feud] isn’t even a consideration because it is just not an option."

In the YouTube clip, the behavioural expert highlights another key moment from the interview where Thomas Sr shares his belief that a reconciliation through Harry could definitely be possible.

However, at this point the expert notes that Samantha seems to be in disagreement with the rest of her family.

He explained: "We have a serious disagreement here [that there is any hope of reconciliation with Meghan.] I think she’s past the point where there is any hope.

“She doesn’t think that Harry could or even wants to fix this situation. It’s not so much could Harry [fix the situation] - it’s ‘he won't and doesn’t want to.’”

Spidey continued: "I think she is never going to be on that same page [as Meghan’s dad and brother]. I think for her, she and Meghan are too far gone."

However, he added: "There is no behaviour or collection of behaviours that will ever allow you to know for a fact that someone is lying or being deceptive."

Not much is known about the relationship Samantha and Meghan shared growing up but the Duchess gave a rare insight into her bond with her half-sister in the Netflix doc-series Harry and Meghan.

In it, she alleged to not know Samantha's middle name or date of birth and claimed she had not seen her in over a decade.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Samantha was suing her younger half-sibling for defamation and injurious falsehood claims that she alleged were made during Harry and Meghan's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
