Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha Markle speaks out on royal rifts after family tragedy

Meghan Markle’s despairing half-sister Samantha Markle said she is surprised at how the former actress has previously “mocked” the Royal family.

Samantha, 60, has become estranged from her paternal half-sibling as Samantha claims Meghan’s relationship with Harry has put strain on the rest of the family, including Samantha’s mother Roslyn.

Roslyn died in early October. Speaking publicly for the first time since her loss, Samantha fought back the tears to say: “Meghan has no idea what she is missing out on because when my dad (Thomas) goes, it will be too late. Believe me, I know. You can’t get back that time. It leaves a hole in your heart.

“I don’t know the Royal family. I’m just a human, watching from across the pond, but I couldn’t believe it… My dad doesn’t want Meghan to pay him back. But you want love from them because there is a pain in your heart if it isn’t there. I didn’t want my mom to die feeling she was alone, and not loved. I almost left it too late. They could both learn from me.”

When Meghan got engaged to Harry, the whole world turned its attention to the Markle family and all its dysfunction. The family has reportedly drifted apart and now Samantha fears Thomas, 80, has little time left having had two heart attacks and a stroke in recent years.

But in recent years, Samantha has expressed her hurt that Meghan has suggested Harry’s clan was the big family she “never had”. Yet, the Duchess of Sussex quit her royal life in 2020 and left the UK for the US with Harry, two years after they exchanged vows. Meghan has given scathing interviews about The Firm since, and mimicked curtseying to the Queen during the couple’s 2022 Netflix docuseries.

She’s done what she did to her own family to so many other people, too. I knew my dad had suffered, but I thought she would stop at the Queen.” Samantha said, during her interview with the Daily Mail last night, Harry “allowed” his wife to “mock” the late monarch with the act.
But Meghan was reportedly close to Samantha when she grew up. She was born two years after Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland, 68, married Thomas. Now, Samantha desperately wants Meghan, the former actress, to get in touch with their father, although she remains pessimistic.
“If you accept an olive branch, you are asking to be hurt again. I think that would be weird. It would be hard to trust that she was doing it for the right reasons. I think what makes me sad now is there were so many missed opportunities for love and real family,” Samantha added.
