In a jaw-dropping twist that feels straight out of a soap opera, the Markle family has once again sparked a media firestorm. This time, the drama has reached new heights as Thomas Markle casts doubt on the very existence of his royal grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet. Speaking through his daughter, Samantha Markle, the older Markle has added a surreal layer to the already tumultuous story of estrangement and accusations. Could it be true? Are the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—the Sussexes, who sought freedom from royal life—nothing more than figments of the imagination or products of deception?
The bombshell emerged during an interview on *Outspoken* with Dan Wootton, where Samantha Markle declared herself the "Arbiter of Truth." According to her, Thomas Markle shares her belief that Meghan's children might not exist, or if they do, they may have been born via surrogacy—a fact that the Sussexes allegedly concealed. "He doesn't believe that there are kids," Samantha said with chilling certainty, suggesting that Meghan's secrecy surrounding Archie and Lilibet is part of a grand manipulative game. She accused Meghan of using the alleged children as pawns, keeping them out of the public eye as a means of control.
Thomas Markle's claims only added fuel to the fire. In Samantha's retelling, Thomas described seeing pictures of Archie that appeared suspiciously lifeless, with bandages obscuring his face. He noted that the child didn’t move or blink, prompting him to say, "Every newborn I've ever seen moves, blinks, makes a noise." To the Markles, the supposed secrecy surrounding Archie and Lilibet's births is part of a larger scheme. Samantha didn’t hold back, accusing Meghan and Harry of manipulating public sentiment to secure their children's place in the royal line of succession. “If they used a surrogate, they should have been honest,” Samantha argued. "There’s no legal or ethical reason to hide it. This was all about deception and control."
Recently, other members of the Markle family have made hard-hitting statements against the Sussexes, especially Meghan. In an interview with *The Daily Mail*, Samantha remarked, “What Meghan did to the royal family was nothing new. She did it to her own family and many other people, including her parents. I knew that my dad had suffered, but I thought she’d stop at the Queen.” Samantha, who once considered Prince Harry a victim, now believes he played an equal role in alienating the royal family through his memoir *Spare*.
Samantha said, "Meghan has no idea what she’s missing out on. Because when my dad goes, it’ll be too late. Believe me, I know you can’t get back that time. It leaves a hole in your heart.” She added, “When my father passes away, I hope that she can feel and remember that he loved her more than life itself. Or she'll never be able to look in the mirror." While Samantha wants Meghan to reach out to her father, she made it clear that she herself doesn’t want to reconcile with Meghan. "If you accept an olive branch, you're asking to be hurt again. I think that’d be weird. It’d be hard to trust that she was doing it for the right reason," she said. "What makes me sad now is that there were so many missed opportunities for love and real family."
