Meghan Markle, allegedly, had two affairs before she married Prince Harry, according to her sister, Samantha Markle, who spilled the shocking stories in her new book.
In The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister, Part 1, Samantha wrote that she was surprised to learn from their father, Thomas Markle, that Meghan and Harry have been dating for six months. She was aware that her younger sister was still with her then-boyfriend, Canadian restaurateur Cory Vitiello, around that time. Meghan and Vitiello were together for two years.
Samantha further said that Vitiello is likely devasted about being "dumped for a prince." But Meghan's sister also wondered if there had been an overlap because it would be quite an uncomfortable situation for all the people involved.
But it's not the only alleged affair Meghan had because Samantha also spilled that her sister was involved with someone from the cast of Suits while she was still married to her first husband, Trevor Engelson. Samantha wrote that she heard the news "through the grapevine" and she was in disbelief because Meghan and Trevor's relationship defied all odds in Hollywood. They were with each other for almost a decade but they were only married for over two years.
The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister, Part 1 is supposed to be Samantha's memoir about her life in a mixed-race family. However, sources close to the Duchess of Sussex said that the sisters do not have a relationship, which means she's not privy to Meghan's life.
According to Vanity Fair, Meghan and Samantha last saw each other in 2008 and they "barely know each other," according to the source. Samantha is older than Meghan by 17 years.
It's still unclear if Meghan plans to sue her sister for the revelations in her book. Samantha admitted that she wrote the memoir to pay the bills as she has been living with a disability as a result of her multiple sclerosis. She also said that the world wants to know a lot of things about her sister before she became a member of the royal family, so the book deal sounded to her like a win-win proposition.
In February 2020, after Samantha kept criticizing Meghan and Harry in the press for their royal step-back, the Duchess of Sussex was, reportedly, upset learning Samantha's book deal. Sources said that Meghan felt Samantha has taken advantage of her.
Samantha has been in talks for the book deal since 2016 when Meghan and Harry's romance hit the headlines. She has already announced that a second book is in the works.
