Meghan Markle’s siblings aren’t making it easy for the former Suits actress to blend into the royal family! Days after her half-sister Samantha Grant slammed Prince Harry for calling his relatives the family Meghan “never had,” Meg’s half-brother Thomas Markle found himself in the news (again) when his fiancé Darlene Blount was arrested for allegedly assaulting him on New Year’s Eve!

According to reports, Darlene, 37, was arrested just before midnight on New Year’s Eve in Oregon following a drunken argument with Thomas, 51.

Darlene was reportedly arrested for fourth degree assault and spent 32 hours in jail.

Ultimately, prosecutors decided not to charge her.

This same time last year, Thomas himself was arrested for holding a gun to Darlene’s head.

At the time, he said he was “incredibly sorry” for his actions and would be “seeking help” to “be the best person I can be going forward."
