Their TV and broadcasting firm Stayt Limited was £6,409 in the red in accounts filed in December and covering to the end of March 2023.

The couple, who have two children, bought their four-bedroom home in Twickenham, South West London, for £800,000 in 2002, and it is now worth up to £2.3million.

Public school-educated Charlie began his career on radio before moving to TV, where he worked for ITV.

He fronted Five News’s coverage of the 9/11 terror attacks, and also worked for Sky News.

He joined Breakfast in 2006 and has been involved in some memorable moments alongside co-host Naga Munchetty, 49.

Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?

The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:

Jon Kay - Since 2022

Sally Nugent - Since 2021

Charlie Stayt - Since 2006

Naga Munchetty - Since 2014

Carol Kirkwood - Since 1997

In 2020, Naga asked Charlie when he had last seen “a beaver”.

He replied, before dissolving into giggles: “Well, it’s probably been a while, if ever, in fact.”

He was also praised for his probing questioning of sullen pop star Lady Gaga, after she endorsed Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 US election with Donald Trump.

A rep for Charlie was approached for comment yesterday.

The BBC said it does not comment on personal matters.

In the 87-minute video posted on YouTube, he can be seen making fun of the Duchess while sporting a wig and tiara and appearing to push a cushion up his top.

Thomas introduces himself as “Me-again Swamp-donkey Crotch” during the odd mimicry. Notably, “Me-gain” is a cruel nickname which has been widely used by internet trolls for Meghan. “I was just showing off the new bump I bought on eBay out of Montecito,” he added.

Thomas Markle faces flak for ‘grotesque’ video
Responding to the mockery of Meghan, Royal commentator Jennie Bond accused Thomas of betrayal and slammed the “grotesque” video.

“To have your own flesh and blood lead the assault must feel like the ultimate betrayal for Meghan,” Bond told the Daily Mail.

Damian Collins, Conservative MP and ex-tech and the digital economy minister, has urged the internet companies take more stringent measures to counteract “campaigns of harassment and intimidation.”

“They have created systems that have not only allowed conspiracy theories to thrive, but are actively promoted by the recommendation systems designed by these big tech companies,” he said.

While Thomas is said to have not spoken to his half-sister for over ten years, he seems eager to capitalise on his royal connections.

“If you don’t like it, don’t watch, right? I’m gonna be riding those coattails, baby,” he said in the video clip. “Oh, yeah, if it wasn’t for Meghan Markle I don’t know what I’d be doing.”

Thomas, who resides in Grants Pass, Ore. and works as a window fitter, intends to launch a variety of products, such as glass, mug, and T-shirt lines, reported The Mirror.

He has created his own YouTube page where he regularly posts videos and does live streams in which he vents about Meghan and the royal family and even interact with his 36,500 subscribers.

In his other viral videos, Thomas can be seen making derogatory remarks against Meg’s mother Doria Ragland. He also called Meghan’s new lifestyle company American Riviera Orchard “American River Orchard.”

In a speech at the SXSW festival in Texas, Meghan recently raised awareness of the potential significant mental health consequences of social media.
