Meghan Markle Accused of Peddling Lies By Her Sister

Meghan Markle’s half-sister has accused the Duchess of Sussex of being manipulative and peddling lies following the release of her latest documentary with Prince Harry.

Samantha Markle slammed the six-part Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, calling it a ‘flopumentary’ that was ‘ridiculous’ and bordered on ‘comedy.’

‘It is so much rhetoric at this point, and so many lies have been thrown out there, debunked, and yet still there is this repeated need to push this narrative,’ she said on Channel Seven’s Sunrise on Friday.

‘Harry & Meghan’ contains a string of revelations and allegations about Harry’s mother Princess Diana, how the couple met, their first dates, ‘unconscious bias’ in the Royal Family and why the Sussexes ‘had to quit’ royal duties in March 2020.

Samantha responded to claims in the documentary that she was the reason her estranged daughter Ashleigh Hale, 37, was not invited to the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry’s wedding in 2018.

Samantha Markle slammed the six-part Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” calling it a “flopumentary” that was “ridiculous” and bordered on “comedy.”

Meghan blatantly lied

Ashleigh claimed in the documentary that Meghan told Meghan she could not attend because of her strained relationship with Samantha and ‘guidance’ from the Palace.

‘I think I said I was hurt on some level, but I understood where it was coming from,’ she explained.

‘To know that it was because of my biological mother that this relationship, that’s so important to me, was impacted in that way. I feel like because of her. It was taken away. It’s been challenging.’

Samantha dismissed the rumours claiming the decision not to invite her daughter was ultimately up to Meghan.

‘It was really surprising to hear that there was a narrative spun that made Ashley feel like she was not invited because of something having to do with me,’ she said.

‘I heard from a royal insider who knows that it was up to Meghan, so Meghan lied to my daughter, which made my daughter resentful of me,’ she said.

‘I can imagine how my daughter would have felt, torn between the two and possibly feeling she couldn’t attend the wedding because of me.

‘That is not correct; it is a lie.’ Meghan said that, not the Royals. She then lied to my daughter, making her believe something was wrong with her that prevented her from attending the wedding.’

As part of their $100 million deal with Netflix, the couple handed over a trove of photos and videos from their relationship. Meghan revealed details about her relationship with her niece.

Samantha slammed comparisons made between Meghan and Princess Diana.

$100 million deal with Netflix

In the documentary, Prince Harry claimed that he ‘had to quit royal duties to protect Meghan, comparing her to his late mother.

The Duke of Sussex compared the paparazzi following Diana to the online harassment faced by Meghan as he described her as ‘prey’ for social media ‘hunters’.

Samantha dismissed the comparison, claiming that her sister was nothing like the late Princess.

‘Diana was never noted as a compulsive liar. Diana was never noted as destroying other people, ignoring people through heart attacks, strokes, pandemics,’ she said.

Ashleigh and Meghan opened up about their relationship in the series, with her father, Thomas Markle, initially connecting the two via email.

As part of their $100 million deal with Netflix, the couple handed over a trove of photos and videos from their relationship.

These included snaps of Meghan with Ashleigh on a trip to New Orleans before she met Harry and Meghan standing by Ashleigh’s side on her wedding day.

Grandparents raised Ashleigh

Ashleigh, a business immigration attorney who is thought to have inspired Meghan for her role in Suits, claims that she was not allowed to attend Meghan’s wedding in 2018

After Meghan emailed her niece, the two women became close, with Ashleigh claiming they exchanged ‘long emails’ several days a week.

Meghan said: ‘My dad said that Samantha had found her daughter, and I remember saying, oh, if you have her email address, I want to email her.

‘I think we both want the same thing.’ I wished for a sister, and she was like a little sister to me.

‘Ash was put through quite a bit by the media just by association, and I didn’t want her life to be plagued with all that drama.’

Her paternal grandparents raised Ashleigh since she was two years old, and they adopted her before reconnecting with her mother in 2007.

Ashleigh continued, ‘Communication with Meg became less and less frequent…’ my impression was that her relationships were being managed on some level.

‘She took me to New Orleans. We walked around, listened to good live music, ate too much food, and had too many drinks.

‘It was just the two of us, which I thought was very special.’ I think she takes on a lot of roles for me.
