Meghan Markle’s sister,
Samantha, once claimed the Duchess of Sussex threw herself at Disney and
that she is jealous of Kate Middleton and ruined her birthday on
purpose.
In an exclusive interview
with Daily Star, Samantha, 54, alleged Meghan was “throwing
herself” at Disney during a film premiere with Beyonce.
Meghan and Prince Harry stepped
down from their roles as working royals two years ago, and have since worked on
their mental health charity, Archewell, and opportunities with Spotify and
their podcast series.
Comments from Samantha, who
says she raised Meghan for 12 years in California, claim Meghan was jealous of
Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton.
On the same day of the Duchess of
Cambridge’s birthday, Meghan and Harry announced their split from the royal
family, prompting Samantha to say: “Sad she would do that on Kate’s birthday
– I believe she was jealous of beautiful Kate.
“She could never compare
– Kate is iconic! Perfect Queen material and lovely as a family member
especially as a mother.
“I was impressed with how
Kate could make a $200 dress look like $2 million.”
Following the decision of
Meghan and Harry to resign the HRH titles, Meghan’s sister said: “She
received so much negative public scrutiny as a result of actions that were
inappropriate.”
Speaking of Harry and Meghan’s
tour of Africa as well as humanitarian and charity work at the time, Samantha
said: “If she was smart she would be a true humanitarian, benefit the
world, especially poverty issues and be in a favourable public light.”
Samantha was angered by a
documentary at the time, which showed Harry and Meghan speaking about poverty
in Africa.
She said: “She got too
much scrutiny for lavish spending and yet still when discussing hunger in
Africa, still made the end of the interview about her difficult royal life.
“She knew the
expectations and the public reliance on her to ‘walk in the shoes that
fit’.”
