Meghan Markle’s sister Samantha ‘on way to UK to confront Duchess of Sussex over father’s health’

Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister Samantha is said to be flying to the UK to confront the duchess over their father Thomas Markle’s health.

Samantha Markle, who is often outspoken in her opinions about her sister, has previously stated that Meghan could do more to help her father.

Mr Markle pulled out of attending the royal wedding earlier this year after suffering a heart attack and has since claimed he told Prince Harry during a phone call that “it would be better for you guys if I was dead”.

At the weekend Ms Markle posted a photo of herself in Italy on Twitter, where she is understood to be taking part in media inteviews.

Rob Cooper, who is believed to be her publicist, tweeted on Monday that after “making numerous attempts” to arrange a meeting with Meghan, this may be “the only option we have left”.

He wrote: “Samantha Markle is coming to the UK. After making numerous attempts in private to arrange a one on one meeting with The Duchess of Sussex to discuss their 74 year old father’s health, Kensington Palace have refused to respond.

“I fear Meghan may not be made aware of these discreet attempts and therefore making this public is the only option we have left.

“I currently have Samantha in Europe with just one short flight away.”

Mother-of-three Ms Markle, who lives in Miami with her partner and children, has repeatedly publicly criticised Meghan after her romance with Harry was revealed in November 2016.

Earlier this month she called her 'duchASS' in her latest rant over her treatment of their father.

She has also dubbed her “narcissistic and selfish” and claimed she always wanted to be a princess, and labelled her “Cruella Deville”, in reference to the sinister 101 Dalmatians villain, and “Witchy Poo”.
