Meghan Markle has been estranged from her father and his family since before the royal wedding, but that may finally change.

A source close to the Duchess of Sussex revealed that Markle plans to reconcile with her father, Thomas, and half-sister Samantha, after the birth of her and Prince Harry's royal baby this spring.

However, the pal also noted that Meghan, 37, hopes her family will finally stop criticizing her.

"Meghan understands the pressures of intense media scrutiny and she is saddened by what her family have had to endure," the insider told The Daily Mail. "She plans to extend an olive branch to the family and invite them to visit after the baby is born – her sister [Samantha] included. Meghan hopes and prays that the baby will bring her family back together."

Despite previously begging Prince Harry to cancel the royal wedding to Meghan, last month, Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., told press, "A lot of the distance [in the family] happened between Meghan when she went to Toronto and her first big break in TV, which was 'Suits,' and it turned out to be a big hit in the USA ... [she] turned into a little Hollywood starlet [who was] focused on her career so much."

"I get it," he added. "I get being in that world because once you’re down that path you’ll do anything it takes to be successful so that had a lot to do with being distant from her whole family."

Samantha has been much less diplomatic. Her most recent rant came after Meghan's star-studded baby shower in the Big Apple, saying Meghan "doesn't have a heart."
