In a no-holds-barred interview, Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha claims that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s marriage was ‘doomed from the start’

Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha has claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding was “doomed from the beginning,” claiming that the Prince will soon return to the UK alone. Speaking to former GB News presenter Dan Wootton, Samantha expressed her belief that her sister’s marriage will soon be over.

“I kind of think this was doomed from the beginning,” she said. “As Prince William reportedly told Harry ‘Haste makes waste. Get to know her better, don’t jump into this.’ But hindsight is 20-20.

“I think [Harry] is probably wanting to say to his brother ‘Oh my God, you were so b**** right – I can’t believe this.’

“And it unfolded the way people predicted, in the way Prince William seemingly thought it would, and that’s sad…”

Samantha adds that in her opinion the Royal Family would struggle to accept a returning Harry: “How do you feel that love again where the trust has been so trashed? To have real love – with family, friends or relationships, by God you have to have trust.”

She says that there would always be a concern if he did return to the Royal fold, that he was simply trying to monetise his family connections. Samantha said: “Will he be wearing a wire? The Royals are always going to have that big question mark.”

She adds that she has a suspicion that Netflix executives were promoting the alleged plans for Harry to return to the UK, and suggested that the King should demand to see written evidence of the Netflix contract being cancelled.

Samantha railed against Prince Harry personally, claiming: “There was a time in an interview when he said ‘I was never happy in Great Britain anyway, I didn’t really like it there’…how do the people of Great Britain feel about that?

“He sat there and let his wife mock [the late] Queen Elizabeth as she was dying, that was disgusting.”

She says that Harry will need “years of counselling” to remove him from the “fantasy world’ he had been living in.

Samantha, who was at one point banned from X [formerly Twitter] after posts appeared on her account that called her sister’s pregnancy into question, has long been an outspoken critic of the Duke and Duchess. Her lawyer said at the time: “Ms. Markle’s email and other accounts have been hacked on several occasions, and it is very likely that those statements were made by third parties to defame our client.”

In November 2016, Samantha publicly called her half-sister “shallow” and alleged her behaviour was “certainly not befitting of a Royal Family member.

There’s certainly little love lost between Thomas Markle’s two daughters.

In her notorious 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan rejected Samantha completely, saying: “I grew up as an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows, and I wished I had siblings. I would have loved to have had siblings.

“The last time I saw [Samantha] must have been at least 18 or 19 years ago, and before that—10 years before that.”

A spokesperson for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been contacted for comment.
