Loose Women star Janet Street-Porter has spoken out in support of Meghan Markle following her father’s latest comments made during a bombshell interview
Janet Street-Porter told her Loose Women co-stars she “felt sorry” for Meghan Markle following her estranged family’s decision to speak about the duchess in an explosive interview.
Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, her sister Samantha and brother Thomas Jnr sat down with Australia’s 7NEWS Spotlight on Sunday to share all about their estranged relative.
The bombshell interview was the topic of conversation on Tuesday’s episode of the ITV panel show with Janet defending the duchess over her decision to keep her distance from certain family members.
She began: “I had a very difficult relationship with my sister and then I thought her behaviour was quite challenging at times but I did forgive her towards the end of her life.
“But with this particular interview with the Markles, I find it very spiteful and they can only be motivated by spite and maliciousness, there can be no other reason.”

Janet continued: “I’ve never put myself as a big fan of Meghan Markle but I feel sorry for her now that she’s got these uncontrollable relatives and they really are uncontrollable.”
Janet noted that despite the interview airing in Australia “it’s been picked up online and you can see it easily and that’s the problem”.
Host Ruth Langsford remarked: “He claims it’s his last interview,” as Janet and Denise Welch both added: “It’s not going to work.”
The Loose Women host questioned why Thomas would continue to give interviews if he truly wanted to reconcile with his daughter.

During the interview, Thomas said: “She killed me and then mourned me.”
He added: “I refuse to be buried by her.”
Thomas did not attend his daughter’s wedding and, in 2018, leaked part of one of her private letters to Associated Newspapers Limited.
Meghan later sued the publisher for reproducing parts of the letter.
In their Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex opened up on learning her father wouldn’t be attending her wedding from a TMZ report.
“The unravelling happened that week when he wouldn’t pick up my call,” Meghan said. “And instead you’re talking to TMZ . And I’m finding out that you’re not coming to our wedding through a tabloid.”
