Not everything is as perfect as it seems!
Meghan Markle’s relationship with Prince Harry has apparently
been difficult for the Markle family, Meghan’s half-sister
Samantha reveals to Us Weekly.
“It created
some rifts with us, but people across the pond think we’re mean people saying
bad things about her, but that’s not the case,” Samantha explained in an
interview published on Tuesday.

The Florida-based mother of three is currently writing a
memoir, “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister,” and she made it clear
in her interview that her book is not a disparaging tell-all about her
soon-to-be-royal sister.
“Everyone assumes my book is a slamming tell-all, which
it is not. Now it can be egg in their faces and everyone can say what they
think. My book is not a small piece and it is so important historically. I
wasn’t in the position to release what it was about. They assumed the worst and
I think that’s unfair and our family members who spoke about my
book shouldn’t be doing so,” Samantha continued.
Meghan and Samantha haven’t talked since 2008, according to
Us Weekly, but Samantha is is still hoping to get an invite to the royal
wedding.

Duchess of Cornwall, also shared a sweet welcome to the royal family to Markle.
“America’s loss is our gain. We
are all absolutely delighted. As you can see, they’re so happy. Sometimes in a
climate where we’re surrounded by a lot of bad news, it’s a real joy to have a
bit of good news for once,” Camilla told reporters at an event on
Tuesday.
