Brother of Meghan Markle expresses regret

Actually, it has been quite a while since there has been any news about Meghan and Harry, I just realized. Maybe it's a bit silly that I'm paying attention to them again now, because this is once again not her choice. But still, I found it interesting: Meghan's brother has spoken out again. Somewhat under duress this time and once again with a letter.

Here's the thing: Thomas Markle is participating in Big Brother VIP. Yes, let that sink in for a moment: this man is suddenly a VIP, purely and solely because he is Meghan Markle's brother, with whom he doesn't even have contact. If we can take anything from this, it's that the term ‘VIP’ is used quite loosely in England.

Apparently, they get different tasks during Big Brother in England, and Thomas's task was to write a letter expressing regret to the former royals. Yes, it doesn't seem very sincere at first glance.

‘Dear Meghan and Harry. The very first thing I want to say is that I truly regret the terrible mean letter I sent you for your wedding. I want you to know that this is not how I really am; it came from a dark and hurt part of my heart. I am not such a mean person, and I have a lot of love to give.’ Side note: people who constantly have to emphasize that they are not mean are usually the meanest people, in my experience.

‘I was very hurt and surprised by (the fact that Meghan described him as ‘distant family’), because we actually had such a good bond and relationship during our childhood. The only way I could protect my heart was by building a wall around myself. I now know that this was very childish and wrong, and I sincerely regret it.’

Ehhh, okay, the letter to Meghan is mainly a letter about Thomas himself. Could they perhaps offer him a ‘saying sorry’ course at Big Brother? And then he tries again? I guess there won't be much response from team Meghan and Harry.
