Meghan Markle's half-sister Samantha said that she went to London to meet with the Duchess of Sussex. She reportedly wants to talk about their father's failing health "whether she likes it or not."
Meghan Markle's half-sister Samantha Markle arrived in London and was determined to do everything she could to meet with the new royal to discuss their father's, Thomas Markle, failing health, Daily Mail reports. Samantha was in Italy before arriving in the U.K. and she took to Twitter on September 29 to reveal that she has been enjoying her time in England.
"Having a wonderful time in London! British people have been so lovely and helpful! If I can survive the roundabouts it will be a miracle LOL!," her tweet read. Samantha's publicist Rob Cooper, also took to Twitter days before on September 24 to reveal that she was going to London to have better chances of contacting the Duchess of Sussex after not having any luck previously.
"Samantha Markle is coming to the UK," Rob's tweet, which featured a photo of him and Samantha, began. "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 has refused to respond."
Talking about Meghan Markle, Rob was quoted saying, "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. This DOESN'T need to be public, we would prefer to keep this private. Samantha is coming to the UK this week, like it or not."
Despite her traveling attempts, Samantha may not get her wish to meet the 37-year-old Meghan Markle because it seems the former actress is tired of the drama surrounding her family. "The idea that Samantha can just turn up at Kensington Palace and demand to see Meghan is beyond laughable," a palace tipster exclusively told Hollywood Life.
Although there may be a lack of closeness between the sisters, Samantha's latest tweets and previous interviews prove that Meghan Markle's new life has been important to her. "Samantha continues to shamelessly profit off of her association with Meghan, and has proven time and time again that she isn't to be trusted," the insider continued.
"This is clearly just yet another publicity stunt from Samantha, and there's a higher likelihood of hell freezing over than there is of Meghan sitting down with her for a chat. Meghan is sick of Samantha's manipulation and games, and she's has made it crystal clear that she doesn't want to see or speak to Samantha, for even one minute, and who can blame her quite frankly?"
