Is anyone else suspicious of the fact that Thomas Markle hasn’t said anything publicly in weeks? I kept expecting him to chime in with some toxic crap when Meghan went back to work, and especially after Doria Ragland was invited to Meghan’s big cookbook launch. I have my suspicions that Samantha Grant is still in near-constant contact with dear old dad, and that she’s acting as his mouthpiece right now. Last week, Samantha tried to “ambush” her half-sister, the Duchess of Sussex. Samantha was turned away at the palace gate, but only after the paparazzo took photos of her at the gate (which Samantha set up, of course) and after she gave a letter to the guards to pass to Meghan. Well, Samantha is still talking. From DailyMailTV via E! News:
Samantha said she wanted to “set the record straight” about her attempted ambush: “I wasn’t trying to crash anything. I’m very polite and respectful. I was not turned away from Kensington Palace. I’m pretty composed. I’m pretty mature. For all the PR and the public to say I was ‘demanding’ to see my sister? First of all, I’m not that tacky and rude—and I wouldn’t just show up,” she said. In general, Samantha added she’s “not the kind of person that’s turned away” from places.
What was in the note she passed to Meghan: “I wanted to express the feelings of my father and myself in the letter. And I can’t say exactly what was in it. The world will just have to wait and see… I really wanted the world—and really, my sister and the British royal family—to know what happened and know the truth about a lot of things.”
Samantha wants Meghan to acknowledge Thomas: “I want her to do the right thing: Acknowledge my dad for primarily raising her and making her everything she is. She knows that he’s awesome! There is no logical, justifiable reason to allow my father to be treated like this,” she added, arguing that Meghan and her husband both need to “do the right thing” and contact Thomas before it’s too late. Said Samantha, “Give him the love, integrity and respect that he deserves.”
I come from a somewhat dysfunctional family, but I don’t have any siblings. I tend to believe that IF Samantha has any kind of semblance of a point – perhaps that Thomas had a big hand in raising Meghan – the way to handle that issue should be SO different than what Samantha has done. If you feel like your newly-royal half-sister is misrepresenting your family, perhaps just give one interview to a respectable paper and say as much. The problem is, Samantha has spent the past two years selling out Meghan to everyone and anyone, so her current argument falls flat. Also, this DailyMailTV interview and the photos and all of that – that was how Samantha got paid. I’m 100% sure that she negotiated all of this with the Daily Mail and The Sun before she even arrived in London. The whole point of her trip was to make even more money off of creating toxic drama.

O RLY Samantha
So sick of her perpetually upturned head tilt and palsy smirk radiating from the left corner of her mouth. The lead photo looks like someone used the liquify tool in Photoshop and smudged her entire face sideways like puddy. Vile woman.
Composed, mature, not that tacky? Hmmm…
“Samantha added she’s “not the kind of person that’s turned away” from places.” LOLOLOLOL
She’s the kind of person that just isn’t invited places to begin with. Like her sister’s wedding.
Lol. You just KNOW she’s the person who goes to her local pub and talks about this with an attitude, all proper-like, telling everyone, “I can’t discuss the letter I wrote. It’s private. The Queen and I need to discuss it first…” while she’s drinking a Bud light with her pinky extended.
You go, girl.
The next thing this bish will do is take a boom box outside of the place gates. You just watch.
God knows I needed this laugh tonight.
Wow
I just clicked on the photos published by the Sun a few days ago and she showed up in a friggin wheelchair. Normally I would never even question such as thing because I know illnesses have flare ups, and walking fine one day doesn’t mean you’re going to be fine the next…. but I put nothing past this trick. Everything she says and does is cultivated to make her look like someone we should be sympathetic to, and I have no doubt this wheelchair is a prop. And THAT is tacky as hell.
Well, she is a disgrace of a person but I think she’s been in that chair for a few years. When Meghan first got engaged, I saw a photo of the sister and she was in a wheelchair. I don’t recall ever seeing her NOT in a wheelchair.
I almost feel sorry for her. Must be sad to be so close and yet so far away from actual royalty. Imagine someone who you looked down on and thought you were better than your whole life suddenly wiz past you. Poetic justice in action.
Meghan always ‘wizzed’ passed her though. It’s not sudden. It’s not because she joined the Firm that it made her better than her half-sister. It’s because she chose a different life for herself a long time ago, took care of herself instead of letting her father control her or become bitter because of the Markle family’s hate towards her and her mom. Meghan just matured in a responsible caring woman who preserved her self-worth and achieved her goals (acting, politically active). I can’t imagine she’s always been the person she is today, we will never know but I suspect Meghan had to WORK at a certain age to overcome the Markle gene and upbringing.
The sad thing is Samantha cannot accept this NOW. She didn’t care about any of this when they were estranged all those years or when Meghan married her ex-husband without the Markle family present. They only saw value in Meghan as a person when they thought it could elevate themselves to royalty-adjacent! It’s truly disgusting. And transparent.
Exactly, Artemis, exactly.
So close? One sighting and two conversations in 10 years, only a half-sibling due to same father/sperm donor. Zero relationship here now and there never has been. And Scammy and Jr. know exactly why Meghan won’t speak to them. As for Sr., this “we speak three times a day” from Scammy is pure BS. Sr. was too embarrassed to come after he got caught staging pap photos. Meg and Harry still wanted him to come anyway. Wedding clothes were paid for, flight paid for, assistance offered by Harry’s friend. Sr. refused it all, saying he didn’t want to embarrass her further. HE cancelled all that. H & M were going to go see him and he told them not to, but to go on their honeymoon. They had to come up with a good excuse for him not to fly, so Scammy and Sr. came up with the heart attack BS … probably stress and chest pains from Scammy’s antics. Several heart attacks was more BS. They did talk to him the day after the wedding, when she became Duchess of Sussex, and then her numbers were changed. They gave him a dummy honeymoon location to test him, and he blew that by divulging it. Then they KNEW FOR SURE he was colluding with the press. Cut off, done like dinner. Now why couldn’t Sr. tell his POS daughter that it was HIM who cancelled it all, that it was HIS fault, that he WAS actually invited? Why didn’t he tell Scammy all this and tell her to shut her lying mouth, that she has it all wrong. Something isn’t right here and I think it’s that there’s no relationship between Scammy and Dad, either. That’s why the morbid ass-kissing campaign. She continues to be full of it. That UK stunt was just that, staged pap photos. They weren’t even at the gates of the real residence. They paid a cheesy photog to take that shot of her with the letter as a “teaser” campaign. Ooooh, everyone wants to know what’s in that letter, when really we don’t give a flying shit 🙂 That UK trip generated lots and lots of money for Scammy. I just hope all this dirty money catches up with her. She insults Meghan and her new family continually and then wants to apologize, makes another lot of money, and then continues with her trashing again. If anything good has come of this, it’s that at least the world knows exactly how vile this family really is. The Markles with NEVER be embraced because of what they are: criminal, low-life, bottom-feeding garbage.
Seriously. I read somewhere a day or so ago that the pot growing Markle kid got on a MTV reality show. Who would want/even *know* about him other than this tenuous connection? Makes me ill to see any of them profiting off her; no one deserves these kind of relatives from hell.
The day when Harry and Meghan will have children, Samantha e Thomas Markle will give the worst of themselves.
TRICK PLEASE.
LOL
Snort.
I really just wanted the world–er–Meghan to know what I think. Via this super private personal letter that you can’t read and I won’t tell you about. You’ll just have to wait until enough of a story has built up around this super private personal letter for me to share my photocopy with the world.
Spot on.
THIS! You KNOW that those rags have photocopies of the letter and are just waiting to let it fly. Total bottom feeders, the lot of them.
How do you give someone the integrity that they deserve? lol
I was going to post the exact same thing. Integrity is part of your character and sometimes a choice one has to make; to have integrity. No one can give it to you. She’s an idiot.
Exactly–on both counts.
“Acknowledge him”is the new “she needs to send him and me some money and financially support us.”
You don’t raise kids to seek acknowledgement. You raise kids because it’s your job. What about your own kids, Samantha???
I think ignoring them is working. This all smacks of desperation.
This whole “she has to acknowledge that he had a significant part in raising her,” is so weird. I would hope that ANY parent would have a significant role in raising their child. Anyone who has made it to adulthood was raised by someone. It doesn’t make you ultra special just because you made sure the child that you made because you wanted children survived into adulthood. They don’t owe you anything. And Meghan is in her mid thirties and has been independent for more years than she was dependent on her dad. It’s not like she’s an 18 year old girl who entire life and experiences have been shaped by her parents. Once she moved out, she shaped herself, she made her own opportunities and sought her own experiences. All of the personal, professional, and emotional growth that she’s done to become the woman Harry fell in love with, was done after leaving her parent’s house. What kind of statement are they looking for? “I would like to say that my father is my parent and as such, he raised me”? We know she was raised by someone! Everyone is!
And I’m still convinced there’s a ton of racism behind this. A lot of “if it weren’t for the half of you that is white…if it weren’t for being raised by your white relations… you wouldn’t be a duchess. Your whiteness is what makes you acceptable enough to marry into the royal family and we gave you that whiteness so you need to be grateful!” It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to sense a bit of “you stole your whiteness from us! You had the audacity to be born into our family, absorb our whiteness, steal a nice, white upbringing from us, and then just run! You took our whiteness and you’re keeping it for yourself, benefitting from it, and you won’t even acknowledge that it’s something you schemed your way into stealing, nor will you share the benefits with us!”
I’m also creeped out by Samantha Markle dying her hair dark brown, just like Meghan’s. Sam went from super blonde to super dark hair and has apparently even changed her last name back to Markle. She is trying so hard to be Meghan.
Meghan acknowledged he had a sufficient part in her upbringing, she INVITED HIM TO HER WEDDING, TO WALK HER DOWN THE AISLE. He is the one who didn’t show up. Yet this crazy ass sister acts like he has been ignored and wasn’t invited to participate in the biggest day of her life. Does she not have anyone in her life telling her to let it go already?? Damn.
I suspected that there something ‘odd’ and not quite right with her relationship with her father when Meghan admitted during the engagement interview that Harry had never met her father but he soon would. But it never happened.
What you are hearing is the death rattle. The last plea of an abusive family that has tried everything they could to shame, degrade and embarrass a woman into submission. Bish bye.
Beautifully and perfectly said 👏👏
At least she acknowledges that she is tacky and rude, just not to the degree people think.
she is not the kind of person who is turned away…yes go tell this to your estranged daughter…
Exactly!!!
I wish every outlet that is not paying her would ask, why are you estranged from your own mother and children??? Shouldn’t you work on those relationships before interfering with your father and half-sister’s???
This bish is tackiness personified!!! The delusion is strong with this one.
I don’t know why her daughter, who was at Meghan wedding, cut her out of her life, but only seeing this makes understand.
I understand that there were allegations of abusing, esp from the youngest daughter who when to live with her grandmother (Scammy’s mother). I recall reading there were allegations that she was physically and verbally abusive to her ex partner.
Tom Jr also has issues with physical violence – Daddy Dearest raised 2 kids who are violent and nasty abusive people. Dingle’s don’t fall far from the dirty asshole. They learned this behaviour from someone.
@Eleonor
Samantha was arrested for drunk driving, with the two oldest children in the car, their father used it to get custody of the children.
There is talk that his parents paid ten thousand for the children, but Scammy called it divorce settlement. The grandparents raised the children, so don’t know how involved Scammy was in their lives, both children are estranged from her.
Different father for Noel, proven abuse by courts, documents are on file for both cases in New Mexico
I read somewhere that Scammy’s daughter had to get a restraining order against her – it sounds plausible now that Scammy has put her stalker-like tendencies on full display.
I would like to know why the brother was not included in this letter? Haven’t heard him mentioned in ages
Shhhh, let’s keep it that way. He hasn’t got two brain cells to put together to figure out why the Markles “weren’t embraced like the Middletons,” lol.
“I WILL NOT BE IGNORED, DAN!!” (I just see/hear Glenn Close’s character whenever she shows up).
This is exactly what I was thinking! Love it!
She wants the world to think Meghan is Jane and she is Blanche in a real life version of What ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Lol YES!! Glenn Close.
Umm…not tacky?? Who else chases their much younger half sister around to another country who she hated and never spoke to in years.
You just KNOW the only reason Samantha (Glenn) used that particular word is because it probably kept coming up when she was reading comments about her behavior.
If you see an over flowing pot of hot water pouring out, Meg, don’t look.
Also…”The world will just have to wait and see…” lololol
Wtf. You some particular kind of special. Wow.
Get a life lady. Ew.
This from a Twitter friend: Thomas Sr. not only betrayed confidences & sold lies – he also proved what a cruel, manipulative, abusive person he truly is.
He does not deserve respect, love or – integrity isn’t even part of the picture here, sweetheart. You’ve no idea what the word means. And oh, how’s the book coming?
I keep reading it as “I’m not the kind of person who is turned away from palaces”, lol.
This woman is just delusional. If Markle Sr. raised Meghan, she would have turned out exactly like Vonnie and Jr. Therefore Sr. did not raise Meghan in any way Vonnie is claiming he did. In the videos that Ninaki sold to the Daily Fail, 18 year Meghan is telling her friend that even though they were passing by her father’s house, they weren’t gonna go there because her and her father were not on speaking terms and hadn’t been for a long time; thats the pudding in which the truth lies. Where does Vinnie think the tabloids got the story that Meghan and her father weren’t on speaking terms for a very long time during her teenage years?
Secondly, again referencing same vids, Meghan says to Ninaki to not film her (Meghan’s) bedroom because it was so messy, she was in the middle of packing going to college. That means that before college, Meghan was living with her mother and not with her father. In the vid, her mother’s car with the plates “Megandme” is visible parked in the drive way, so no Meg was not raised by her father.
Thirdly, people that made all the documentaries about Meghan’s life growing up interviewed numerous people and all interviewed stated that Meghan was raised and grew up with her mother in some small apartment above someone’s garage.
Lastly, Meghan posted numerously on the big that she was raised by BOTH her parents till about age 11, that when her father would drop her off, he would never just sit in the car and watch while she walked to the door, but rather, that he would walk her inside their house and if dinner was ready, they would all sit at the table and eat as a family, where was Vonnie to dispute this before Meghan met Harry?
To Vonnie, I just say, bye Felicia.
BOOM! Nailed it!
In her sold interview, the friend did mention that Meghan lived with her father from, if I can remember, about age 13. This was before Tom Markle said she lived with him (I think he said from age 11 or 12) and/or Samantha said it.The friend said positive things about Meghan’s mom, though.
The videos clearly show Meghan stating that she was not on speaking terms at the time and that she was living with her mother at the time she graduated and left for college. Meghan herself has said repeatedly that she was raised by BOTH her parents, it has been started that as girls, Meghan and Ninaki were inseparable while they were growing up, and that they were like sisters, etc, that just tells me enough about who and where Meghan was raised. Meghan might have lived with her father for a time (she confirmed that she was raised by both her parents) but that doesn’t support Vinnie’s claims that Meg was raised by her father from age 11-18 and that Doria was an absentee mother. I’m inclined to believe that Meghan lived with and was raised by her mother, for the most part, based on information out there BEFORE Meghan met Harry.
She wasn’t at Kensington palace….she was at the entrance for a private community called Kensington palace gardens. Nice homes, some embassies and behind the palace lol.
She actually wasn’t at KP gates, she was at the secure entrance for a very private street that’s next to the real KP entrance. That street is called Kensington Palace Gardens and has security at both ends as there are several embassies (notably the Israeli embassy), official ambassadorial residences and where several mega rich people live – it also has views (though a fence) on the main palace entrance so is popular with noisy tourists. The real KP entrance is patrolled with armed guards and a barricade. She knows fine well that if she did turn up and created a scene demanding they take a letter she would have been arrested on the spot and prosecuted. KP and all other royal residences are private property.
The shots were a setup to make it look like she was there and had been turned away.
Thomas raised the abusive alcoholic and the unfit abusive neglectful mother who sold her two older children to her ex and abused her younger child.
Doria raised the college grad with no criminal record.
I have ‘toxic’ relatives all controlled by a spiteful matriarch who tells terrible lies about me. I tried to ‘be nice’ but almost got spat at visiting a hospital room. Their main motive I’ve discovered is also money. Meghan keep them at arm’s length but cutting them off completely is going to make it worse. Get your staff to send Birthday and Christmas cards to mollify and that’s it. Funnily enough a recent rage was due to my son not inviting them to his wedding. These people must all ‘sing from the same hymn book ‘. It took me a long time to realise that a healthy relationship isn’t about manipulation.
Meghan’s former “family” is dead to her due to all their abuse and lies and trashiness. They won’t be getting any cards or calls or anything. They don’t exist to her anymore, and they thoroughly deserve it.
Once you figure out someone is truly toxic, ignoring them is the only way to show that actions have consequences. Not getting a wedding invitation should speak volumes about THEM. People this twisted and self-serving will turn anything (including a wedding or funeral) into an opportunity to create strife or self-attention.
There is no shaming the shameless, nor reasoning with completely unreasonable people.
Samantha should thank her lucky stars Meghan and Harry married. All that money, such as it is, flowing into her coffers. I hope that money goes into making her home ADA accessible.
As a postscript, Samantha and her puppet masters should know that ANYTHING handed in to a Royal Palace is first taken to a security officer called the ‘Sarjeant at Arms’ and possibly blown up! Lol
I can’t not laugh at that photo of her and think it is an open call for Reese Whiterspoon to play some tacky southern mom.
Samantha and the media are playing games with each other. All of this manufactured drama has nothing to do with Meghan.
Samantha is a woman filled with envy and jealousy she upset that her life turn out the way it did she cant take the angry out anyone else but Meghan because Meghan has the life Samantha think she deserves . I don’t believe Samantha when she says Doria had nothing do with the raising of Meghan I think Samantha wanted to say anything to get a raise out of Meghan she thought If she say something negative about Doria Meghan would respond. I can’t even imagine how Doria handle being married to Meghan father with a wicked racist step daughter the nerve of this woman who doesn’t even have a relationship with her own daughters to speak on or about Meghan relationship with her mother . The press will continue to pay Samantha or anyone else who has a axe to grind with Meghan because they love being able to write negative articles about her their fingerprints are all over Samantha lastest stunt . And the press wonder why Harry doesn’t like them all they ever done since Meghan and Harry have started is written negative articles about her and her mother .
“…and I wouldn’t just show up,” But you weren’t invited, gurl, so you did just show up actually.
Yes Scammi you are that tacky. And so much more.💰💴💵
In my mind I think (and hope) that the letter was given to Megan, she handed it to Harry, and said, “I don’t want to read it.” Then Harry said, “Neither do I”, and threw it in the fire.
It’s a real life Cinderella, only the Ugly Siblings have the tabloids on speed dial.
Yea they didnt recognise her at th gates …cos she had a Meghan mask on….f…k off back to th swamp u f…kin half-wit.
Long before Meghan & Harry were an item, I read in some paper that Samantha was dissing Meg because she wanted money “for her medical needs” from her rich actress sister. She’d asked for money & Meghan ignored the request.
If my half-sis had continuously referred to my mother as “the maid” I’d ignore her too.
Yes, you’re that tacky!
I wonder if she is going to try to use one of the masks and try to sweep past the guards cleverly disguised as Megan. No one will ever guess she is not the real thing! Think of the great PR as she passes herself off as Megan inside the Palace having tea with the Queen!
