Following Meghan Markle’s supporters’ dismissal of the photo as a contrived attempt to undermine the Duchess of Sussex, it has become controversial. The screenshot purports to show Thomas Markle Sr. trapped during an earthquake.
Samantha Markle posted the picture, which seems to be a WhatsApp exchange where a contact named “Dad” writes: “I am trapped on the 19th floor, all my savings are.”
Samantha suggested that their father sent the message during the Philippine earthquake.
