Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister has once again slammed the royal, this time claiming the duchess is ‘jealous of Kate Middleton and ruined her birthday on purpose.’

Samantha Markle, 54, told the Daily Star Online that she believes the former Suits actress purposely chose to make the announcement that she and husband, Prince Harry were stepping down as senior royals on the eve of Kate’s 38th birthday.
‘Sad she would do that on Kate’s birthday – I believe she was jealous of beautiful Kate,’ she told the publication.
‘She could never compare – Kate is iconic!’ continued Samantha. ‘Perfect Queen material and lovely as a family member especially as a mother.’
Samantha also voiced her disapproval over the now viral footage of Prince Harry cornering Disney boss bob Iger at the premiere of The Lion King last year in a bid to secure his former actress wife some voice over work.
‘The Disney move would have been fine if initiated after leaving royal roles but seems inappropriate prematurely,’ explained Samantha.
‘And disrespectful of royal protocol. It’s like cheating on a spouse and giving a phone number for a dinner date before being divorced.’
She went on to refer to the royal family as a ‘launchpad’ which helped Meghan to get to the high places that Suits wasn’t able to get her.’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the shock decision to step down from the royal family last month in a bid to become financially independent.
Following Meghan’s decision to resign, Samantha said: ‘She received so much negative public scrutiny as a result of actions that were inappropriate.’
And when asked about Meghan’s charity work and tour of South Africa alongside Harry, she said: “If she was smart she would be a true humanitarian, benefit the world especially poverty issues and be in a favourable public light.”
