Last week, the Duchess of Sussex’s half-sister Samantha Grant showed up in England. She had previewed her trip, and I tend to believe that some British tabloid or TV show probably funded the journey. Samantha gave a simpering interview to a British outlet where she tried to make it sound like her two-year campaign to destroy Meghan, sell Meghan out and profit from Meghan was all just some kind of misunderstanding. No one bought it. The point of Samantha’s trip, allegedly, was that she was going to “force” a meeting with Meghan to talk about Thomas Markle’s health. No one bought that either. But it looks like Samantha did try to storm the palace gates… only to be turned away.
Meghan Markle’s sister was reportedly turned away by security after showing up at Kensington Palace uninvited during a recent visit to the UK. Samantha Markle, 53, was locked in an embarrassing standoff with police guards telling them she wanted to confront her sibling after their bitter fall out. She reluctantly agreed to leave the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ home after handing a note to one of the officers, the Sunday Mirror reports.
A source told the newspaper: “This was a huge move on the part of Meghan’s sister to try to see her face to face and the fact she was turned away speaks volumes.”
Samantha’s representatives reportedly sent palace officials a letter demanding a meeting and giving them an ultimatum – arrange a face-to-face meeting with Meghan or she would show up on her doorstep. The source said: “She said words to the effect that if the Palace didn’t do something to help mend the rift now, something may happen to their dad, who is in ill health. The suggestion was that if the rift was left unhealed it would be their fault. She went to the gates and tried to reason with them. She explained she had been in touch with palace officials and claimed they had ignored her advances, leaving her no choice but to arrive uninvited.”
Samantha, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, showed up a few days later with her partner, who pushed her wheelchair to the entrance of Kensington Palace. She was hopeful she would be let in but they turned her away and she handed one of the guards a letter for Meghan in the hope that it would get passed on, the source added. They then bizarrely went souvenir shopping and is said to have bought royal merchandise – including Meghan and Harry masks.
The White Markles are so g–damn tacky and toxic. If Samantha is so concerned about Thomas Markle’s health (narrator’s voice: “she’s not…”), then why doesn’t SHE look after dear old toxic dad herself? That would “look” better and it would be an interesting side-by-side. If Samantha stayed quiet and merely looked after Thomas, then the tabloids could really sink their teeth into it: the patient caretaker versus the glamorous duchess. Instead, Samantha is only using their dad’s health as the last way to get attention from the half-sister she’s jealous of. Whatever.

Samantha’s “representatives” issued an “ultimatum.” Hilarious. Worked out well, I see.
yeah, that made me laugh.
sure, some nobody from “the colonies” is going to strong-arm the royal family/guards and gain entrance to the palace.
SMDH
Gotta admit, a vision of her being steamrolled into the palace gates, “full speed ahead” did flit into my head LMAO. Equally funny was the pic of her sitting there, with face masks of Harry and Meghan in her lap. Guess we have to expect voodoo ceremonies next?
Vodun is a sacred religious practice that has been vilified and much-maligned by white westerners. Please, this may be a gossip site but it doesn’t mean that we stoop to such statements that reflect an intentionally racist framework, does it?
@Anna thanks for the education, that’s totally interesting. I didn’t know that it was originally a religious practise. I learn so much on this site! 🙂
Wow, it’s borderline stalking now!
No, it’s full-on stalking. Nothing borderline about it. And those photos of them at the gate with the guard? Totally staged. Nothing out of this trick’s mouth can be trusted, nothing. And she’s denied having MS now; says it’s a spinal injury. At first she did say it was MS. So which lie is it?
No it IS stalking. Did you see the pix on the DM where she goes to the souvenir shop and buys a Meghan MASK and then wheels away with the mask face up in her lap??? That seemed straight out of a horror movie, like what is she going to do with the mask of her sister’s face? Will she and her partner go back to their hotel room and put on the masks and play at being Meghan and Harry?
Hit the nail squarely on the head! I’m not the first to point this out, others have done so on Samantha’s twitter feed: if Meghan is such a terrible human being, so awful to her father, so fake, so disloyal to her friends and first husband…..****why does Samantha or Thomas Senior want anything to do with her? Why fly to London and try to give a letter to the staff? Normal, emotionally balanced people just ghost the jackhole in the family and never speak their names again.****
Loved the headline and the radiant yet ironic photo of Meghan, lol
Go away trash.
The photos are so embarassing I don’t know if she knows shes making a fool of herself or if she really thinks this way is going to get Meghan to look bad. Eitherways she just makes people feel sorry for Meghan and making clear why there hasn’t been a relationship in years.
If this one had been born with any sense of shame or personal dignity we wouldn’t even know her name.
I heard she changed her last name to Markle!
@Snowfalke Apparently she has changed her name 4 times
@ajessamine IA i don’t think we’ve heard from the Ragland side of the family even when they weren’t invited either.
@MCV – if the rest of the Raglands conduct themselves with as much grace as Doria does, I bet they were invited to the wedding and they just behaved like normal guests. Honestly, I kinda hope that Meghan throws a family reunion for her mother’s side at KP someday. Just because I would like to imagine her trashy Markle family freaking out about it.
The Raglands were at the wedding. Meghan’s uncle (her mum’s half-brother) and her uncle’s mother (her mum’s stepmother, so I guess that would make her Meghan’s step-grandmother?) were both at the wedding, plus her niece on her dad’s side who is actually Samantha Markle’s estranged daughter (the one Meghan based her Suits character on) was there too. I don’t think Meghan has a big family. Iirc her grandparents are deceased and her mum only has the one half-sibling.
Her relatives who did attend just stayed completely out of the press, didn’t put anything on social media or contact journalists, and of course no one knows what they look like so the press didn’t pick up on it. Which of course meant people crowing about how she had no family at the wedding which is not true.
It’s only because a handful of hardcore Meghan fans went over the footage of the wedding with a fine toothcomb and compared all the shots of the guests with old photos from Meghan’s social media (plus google stalking to find photos of Meghan’s relatives) that they were able to ID specific anonymous guests as being Meghan’s family and old friends. For example the woman sitting next to Doria is one of Meghan’s childhood best friends (lots of pics of the two together on Meghan’s Insta) but her name was not included in any press coverage despite having such a prominent seat.
I thought Meghan’s niece said she wasn’t invited? Where did her family sit during the ceremony? I really thought she just wasn’t close to them. Are there photos of her family there?
Sorry for all the questions, this is just the first I’ve heard of other family members being there.
ETA: I didn’t realize Samantha had more than one daughter. The 19 year old is the one that she said wasn’t invited. Are both of them estranged from their mother? She should be more worried about healing those relationships than her nonexistent one with Meghan.
Thanks for the replies. I din’t know there were other family members. The media kept saying that Doria was the only family member present.
“Hasn’t been a relationship in years.” There never WAS a relationship, ever. Samantha is making it all up.
The letter states “Meghan, you can buy my silence.” This woman is just an abusive a-hole. She tried the apologetic route. When that didn’t work, she resorted to insults about Meghan’s mother, saying she wasn’t around much and it was her dad that raises her. This woman really cannot hide her jealousy and resentment. Plus, her father has other family members if he is so bad off, which I don’t believe.
There’s a BI out there and I believe it’s about her, trying to shake Meghan down for money. This woman is disgusting. How come no one is asking why she’s estranged from her own kids???
Do you have the link for the BI?
Both her, Jr’s and Daddy Dearest’s behaviour since their relationship was made public has always been about shaking her down for money. Scammy has nothing worth selling, if she had it would have been out there by now. Same for Daddy Dearest. All have made statement about expecting Meghan and the RF to take care of them.
The palace should release the contents of the letter and expose her for the blackmailing liar she is.
Which I’m not sure I get. They’ve all made a lot of money off her back, selling her out. Sr. apparently made more than $100K just off the staged photos. They want some sort of relationship with Meghan after all their bad behaviour and abuse, of her AND her mother, because of the royal connection. And believe me, Samantha knows exactly why Meghan won’t speak to her. Remember, Sr. gave Scammy Meghan’s private number twice, and Meghan hung up. There is NO RELATIONSHIP here. It’s all based on lies. Yes, they’ve made money selling lies. I only hope Scammy goes too far and then they have no choice but to shut her down. She is mentally ill. You know, like she says about her brother, lol.
It’s so funny though. “Silence” over what? I thought Meghan hadn’t laid eyes on her since she was about 12 or something. Implying she’s got personal dirt on a woman she literally doesn’t know.
@meganbot2000, I’m referring to she will stop bad mouthing Meghan to the press if she pays her. It’s emotional blackmail.
I know. It’s just funny wording. Like she’s implying she has dirt on Meghan. When really she is no different from a Twitter or Daily Mail comments troll.
They were photographed together in 2008. But if she had anything on Meghan she’d have sold it already. She is so thoroughly unlikable, it’s not surprising her brother, mother, kid(s) don’t like her.
I’m sure the letter was turned over to Police to check it and make sure no toxic substances were inside. I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past this jealous POS.
The last pic of Meghan and Scammy was the one where Meghan was sitting on the side of her wheelchair when Scammy graduated from somewhere (was in a cap and gown, holding a certificate), and Scammy is leaning AWAY from Meg. That pretty much summed up how she felt about Meg to me. And that pic has to be about 20 yrs. old.
It was 2008. Meghan flew in from LA to New Mexico for her graduation. Which to me says she tried to have a relationship with Samantha. Who WANTS to fly to New Mexico for their awful sister’s graduation? Of course Samantha wasn’t grateful, she has always hated Meghan.
That pic is around 10-12 years old actually. From around 2006-2008.
At what point are you considered a stalker? Because I think we’re there.
I honestly thought she’d show up in Sussex and accost Meghan in front of the cameras. There are so many public events where she could actually do that. I hope KP has high level security keeping this woman far away.
I would imagine royal security always knows where this trick is, mostly because she opens up her big mouth and tells everyone.
She’s got no shame, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she got some tabloid to pay for her to confront Meghan on one of her walkabouts.
Hopefully the other people gathered to be greeted by the royals would recognize her and shame her out of the crowd. How do they secure those crowds? Are they checked for weapons or anything? Not that she’d bring a weapon, but if there is some kind of security screening process, they could weed her out there.
Samantha’s behavior is so unhinged that I do worry for Meghan’s safety. It seems that Samantha has no sense of shame. There are no depths that she won’t sink to, and it is very concerning. People without limits can be dangerous.
Called it – I knew she’d turn up at KP gates with a pap to get photo’s of ‘the poor MS sufferer being treated badly by the RF’. I am not surprised the Fail continue to push the poor Markles narrative but its backfired, again, as many of the Fail comments are brutal.
Scammy is nothing more than a jealous hating stalker. Its only a matter of time before Evil Papa Smurf has another health scare to get attention.
Correction – she wasn’t papped at the actual gates, but at the heavily protected private street next door. That street is where not only the mega wealthy live but houses many embassies and Ambassadorial residences.
ugh this is so embarrassing!
Embarrassing for who?
For Americans!
LOL, Why would Americans be embarrassed? 😁😁
“If Samantha stayed quiet and merely looked after Thomas, then the tabloids could really sink their teeth into it”
Maybe she cares more about profiting than making Megan look bad? She has to make herself look bad to get money from this situation, just like Megan’s old friend and countless reality stars. I’m guessing money is more important to her than her dignity / strangers’ opinions of her and her sister.
Scammy and Sr. have no relationship either. “We talk three times a day” – LIES. Sr. in the beginning didn’t even want to talk to the press until Scammy came along, and now we have what’s gone on for many months now. She tries to make out he wasn’t invited to the wedding, when he was. They just buggered the whole thing up and are lying and backtracking. God, when will it stop?
If I were Meghan, I’d be gutted. She’s been estranged from this bottom-dweller for years and probably thought she was rid of her dramatics. For this to go on so publicly must be humiliating.
I truly hope not. I can see Meghan being embarrassed by the whole thing but gutted and humiliated? I don’t think so, that definitely gives the crazy Markles too much power.
I’d like to think Meghan’s getting ready for her tour of Australia and Fiji with Harry and not giving that woman another thought.
There’s no way the Sussexes are embarrassed, gutted or humiliated by any of this ad this point. If anything, the Markles are embarrassing themselves. I just can’t wait for their trip down under.
I hope she’s not gutted by it. She seems like a smart woman who is probably well aware of who these people really are and what they really want, and I would imagine everyone there knows how to deal with them by now. I hope she is completely ignoring them, enjoying being a newlywed, and working on her projects.
I think the longer it goes on, the more that it’s just a fact of life for Meghan. Sort of how she knows that day turns into night and water is wet, so goes the stupidity of her family. I don’t think she is gutted, I think she is probably just over it by now.
Gutted? Why? This grifter has nothing to do with Meghan. Just because that troll is yelling nonsense into the wind to whomever will listen? Please. She has nothing to do with Meghan. At. All.
This is just ghastly, shameless, shockingly low behavior. It is stalking. I respect the “ignore it and be above it” approach, but I think allowing Meghan to release a statement or give an interview about one of her royal projects during which she’s also asked about this and gives a definitive statement, is perhaps advisable at this point. I think she should close the door on this woman publicly, and with finality. It is likely the case that the Royal Family’s PR is afraid of seeming cold & hard-hearted, but anyone who’s going to think that already does. I think most understand and feel sympathy for Meghan, but speaking to what this family has subjected her to would endear her to people even more.
You cannot feed the beast. It will return again and again for more food. She talks to any of the Markles, the whole world will know what was said within 12 hours. Ignore it and it will go away.
This. So many people said “they should just invite the Markle’s to the wedding!” Those grifters would have been stealing silverware to hawk on the Internet. The last thing Meghan should do is give this lunatic what she wants – attention, acknowledgment, validation. You should never validate this kind of behavior.
Acknowledging her would just give the tabloids more reason to interview Samantha. As it is, not many people still care to talk to her. If Meghan publicly denounces her, she’ll be booked on every morning show in the UK. Meghan would be adding fuel to the fire by responding, and it would be framed as a two-sided “feud” rather than this one-sided bashing.
No. Never complain, never explain. She never had relationships with these people. Not a single Markle was invited to her first wedding, were they? There’s been no relationship. Even her relationship with her father has been sporadic and strained over the years. The half-sibs have always resented her and treated she and her mother badly. Meghan won’t speak to anything. To her they are dead. These people sell EVERYTHING to the press. They are not “family” and do not love her.
In case I wasn’t clear, I was not saying she should speak to them. I do not think she should. I was suggesting that maybe she should mount some kind of PR fightback via a carefully choreographed interview or public statement, though I can see how doing so would present its own set of drawbacks.
Nothing in my original comment stated or implied she should make any kind of direct contact with them, which I definitely do not think she should do. I know some have suggested she “smooth things over” or “reach out,” but I’m not. That’s not Meghan’s responsibility nor are they owed that.
Gotcha, Jessica. I realize what you’re saying, but even addressing it would indicate that Meghan is aware of it and it’s “gotten to her” somehow. Addressing it would mean it has incited a reaction, and that’s what this bottom-feeder wants. Lady D is right, you can’t feed the beast. It should never, ever be acknowledged. Meghan will never, ever dignify any trash-talk coming from this beast. If Scam’s behaviour escalates further, advisors, security, and perhaps the law will take care of it.
Nope, she knows the door is closed on her, that’s why she keeps trying to pretend she’s trying to kick it open so she can get a few bucks. The worst thing to do is to entertain her nonsense. Just keep ignoring her and allowing her to make a fool of herself, don’t get caught up in her crazy game.
No way to what Jessica suggests. Just keep stiff upper lip all the way, just continue with the silent cold treatment, ignore, ignore and ignore these fools. It’s working really well so far.
Nope. You have to keep ignoring narcissists. That’s the only way to demobilize them. They feed off if attention.
Dare I say, they aren’t demobilized so far. In fact, Samantha and the rest of them are repeatedly given prominent public platforms on British television shows and in widely read British tabloids. My original suggestion was not really about addressing the family for the sake of addressing THEM; it was more about Meghan addressing the public to set the record straight for her own benefit. I would hope/expect most of the public see this desperation for what it is, but I’m not sure, given some comments I continue to see from people wondering why she’s “abandoned” her family and other misguided nonsense. I do see how the approach I suggested will only feed the beast more, which is why I said above that it presents its own set of drawbacks. I see now that any public comment from Meghan will just feed endless news cycles and headlines and give this sad debacle even more steam and coverage.
So let me get this straight. Samantha flew all the way from the US to England, an expensive plane ticket , and showed up unannounced at the palace gates and got turned away. She also must be paying for a hotel or Air B&B somewhere. Someone or Tabloid set this whole thing up and paid her to do this publicity stunt.
Definitely paid for by some tabloid or pap agency, I just hope they don’t pay her to follow the Sussex’s on tour!
Yes someone is paying for this. Wonder which rag?
Can this gremlin go away already?! What a psycho.
The pictures I’ve seen – they were not at the gates of the palace at all. Those gates and security guards are at the entrance to a street – Kensington Palace Gardens, on which are a number of embassies and some private houses owned by the mega rich. It’s a public street right of way though, anyone can walk down it. The security is for car access due to (presumably) the number of embassies. Kensington Palace is actually some distance away and will have its own gates and security.
The poor security guard probably told ol’ Sammy ‘wrong gates, love, try next door’.
That’s correct – the real entrance to KP is the next along, right next to an entrance to Kensington Palace Gardens itself. I know the area reasonably well. The police entrance is at the end of a long road and guarded with armed police, she should not have gotten close enough to the main gate, esp if a pap was in tow. If she had turned up to the gate and made a scene she would have been arrested on the spot.
Arrested for what? Protesters line up outside the White House all the time and shout stuff and make a scene. I figured it’d be the same outside KP. You’re referring to a public area, right? Or is that private property?
^ KP and all royal residences are private property, so yeah she would have been arrested. There are signs all over the place stating its a private property and trespassers will be arrested and prosecuted.
Ahh okay. So it sounds like someone let her know where she could get away with bothering a security guard. I really want to know who paid for this little jaunt to the UK.
Where were those pics of Meghan from at the bottom? Gorgeous face, amazing outfit.
This makes me feel so bad for Meghan.
I want to find this funny, but it’s pretty obvious that she worked with one of the tabloids to stage this ridiculous stunt, which is just messed up on every level. Seriously, they wonder why Harry & Meghan shut the press out.
I am reminded suddenly of Kenny Everett’s famous character – ‘Cupid Stunt’. In my head, Sammy has been renamed 🙄
You have made my day @The Hench! Being reminded of the dear departed Kenny Everett has cast a beam of sunshine into what promised to be a dreary post Kavanope/Apocalyptic Monday for me. His skits were always hilarious, and spot on. He pilloried the great and good, and no-one was beyond his scalpel-like wit! Sid Snot and his cigarette throwing was my favourite! Reminds me that the world does move on, and we will survive and thrive, in spite of the madness! A birrof a laff is always good medicine.
@Antipodean – so glad to have brightened your day 😊 You raise a good point. Not only does it make us laugh but satire is also a powerful weapon. I would think that nothing gets to Trump as much as the skits on SNL and, here in the UK, I think we badly need a new version of Spitting Image. Can you imagine the fun the writers would’ve had with the Brexit process?
Odious woman.
Samantha Markle performs a very important function. Every kind of publicity that brings the royal family into focus is welcome by them. By “them”, I mean Kate DOC, who is head of an exclusive members only club, where the price of admission is “do whatever I ask or be dropped” and the benefits are a powerful network of wealthy and influential friends. Measures are taken to ensure her survival as part of the family, including pointing the media to the unpredictable riffraff of a half sister to create fear and insecurity. This creates a need for the Cambridges who are calm, reliable, polite and “boring”. But this Samantha Markle character is playing a different game. She is making sure to get as much publicity as possible so if something even slightly untoward happens to her side of the family it will cast a dark shadow. If Samantha so much as chokes on her tea, the royal family will be blamed for trying to slay her. It’s a pity that Samantha envies her stepsister. If she only knew what really happens behind closed doors.
Even the Meghan nay-sayers at Daily Mail are heavily critical of Scammy-Today-I’m-Calling-Myself-Markle. They’re still nasty about Meghan in general but not with regard to the Scamster. It takes a lot for them to say anything in defense of Meghan but they’re there.
That’s good to hear.
One of them wrote that Samantha is “following the textbook definition of an obsessed stalker”. I think that’s very accurate.
As other commentators have noted, she’s on the wrong street – a very quiet, unremarkable street on which those who do not want to be remarked on live. Which means Ms Grant went to KP, visited the gift shop and made her bizarre purchases (what does she intend to do with those masks, stick pins in them?), called the paps then hot tailed it round the corner to intimidate a little man in a private booth at the entrance to a private community, rather than meet KP security head on… Is there no one she won’t bully?
The woman has absolutely NO shame and is more and more deranged. I do wish Meghan or KP would release the letter and beat her at her own game. But, their silence is deafening. It’s too bad ol’ Sam can’t seem to hear it…
Regarding the term White Markles, aren’t all Markles now white? Magan and her mother have now different surnames right?
Therapists who help family members of malignant narcissists advise against “JADEing”.
JADE stands for Justify, Argue, Defend, or Explain.
Victims who try to do any of those actions are unfortunately inviting more abuse. It absolutely isn’t the victim’s fault – they are responding normally, but they are dealing with abnormal behaviour. Therapy can help victims get a handle on this abnormal situation. Once they learn to stop feeding the beast, victims can move on.
Literally the only thing to be done is to ignore the narcissist. Everything hinges on the narcissist being fed the attention they want.
If the narcissist doesn’t get attention, they eventually go away. In this case, it is taking longer because the media is giving attention, but even that seems to be slowing down.
Exactly. Ignore this woman. I can’t believe anyone cares what she has to say.
Thank you, @Bunny. I’d never heard this before and it makes such good sense. She and her mother deserve so much more than this pathetic display.
I think that Samantha is a woman who is filled up with jealousy and envy that her little sister gets to live a life fully of privilege. Notice that when Meghan was in suits you never heard from her sisters her brother her nephews or her ex best friend it’s the moment that Meghan started dating Harry that’s when all this people started their campaign against her they all had no problem with her when she just a actress . The moment she went on to something that would put her on the national stage these people that were supposed be her family started selling her out .
Omg I feel so embarrassed on her behalf since she clearly has no shame.
When will this end……
Pathetic and sad.
This is stalking
Sorry, but that behaviour doesn’t look good. Turning away your half-sister ain’t decent. Not even saying hello. Nope, don’t like it.
Yep. It’s terrible that a half-sister you have no relationship with and has been verbally abusive to you and physically/emotionally abusive to her own estranged kids would show up on your doorstep, wanting money/whatever. Nope, don’t like it. Terrible look. Terrible.
How are you today, Samantha, ya miserable, jealous, nasty, spiteful, hateful cow?
@Lanne and @Minx, DO NOT feed the beast. Ignore, ignore and ignore.
Meghan didn’t turn her away, she never even saw her because they have no relationship. There’s no way Meghan is responsible or at fault for this ridiculous attention seeking grifter.
Get stuffed, Scammy and roll yourself over a cliff you empty headed vacuous cow.
Does anyone else think that DM hired Shameless Scrammy to conduct this deranged (she qualifies!) assignment? I doubt that Scrammy paid for this trip.
Why does this woman think she has any right to force another person to talk to her? Just because they are step-siblings doesn’t grant either of them the right to boss around the other.
To repeat what others have said, ignore people like this. I’ve never heard the JADE acronym before, but I’ve found it to be true with the very few people who are this toxic and narcisstic.
Wow, this woman won’t give it up. What a freak show!!
