Wedding tore family apart, says nephew of Meghan

- BY TOM PILGRIM

Outspoken: Tyler Dooley THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding “tore apart” the Markle family, her nephew has claimed.

Tyler Dooley said he wanted to “set the record straight” about his relatives, while appearing on a reality TV show.

The 25 year-old medicinal-use cannabis farmer defended Meghan’s father, his grandfathe­r, saying he “worked hard for my whole family my whole life”.

Mr Dooley said Prince Harry was “a pretty cool guy” and he was happy Meghan had found “someone that she loves”.

Appearing on MTV’s the Royal World, Mr Dooley described himself as a “farm boy” who grew up seeing Meghan “as a sister”.

In conversati­on with another cast member it was also revealed that Prince Harry used the pseudonym “Gary” in the past when meeting strangers.

Mr Dooley’s father is Meghan’s brother, but because they are no longer on speaking terms he uses his mother’s surname Dooley.

When Meghan started dating Harry it began what Mr Dooley described as a “really tough journey” for his family. “My family has been torn apart,” he admitted. Had we some guidance and assistance, perhaps from the royal family, we could have avoided a lot of this stuff.”

Mr Dooley revealed his whole family thought they would be invited to the wedding, only for Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland to be the sole representa­tive.
