Samantha Markle hits out at brother's scathing attack on Meghan

They’re some of the most vocal in-laws to ever have graced the royal family’s presence and the Markle’s aren’t showing any sign of quieting down anytime soon.

In fact, a feud is now brewing between Meghan’s half-sister, Samantha Markle and her half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr. online.

It all stems from an interview Thomas gave to In Touch magazine, where he slammed his future royal step-sister for claiming he was “distant family”.

"My lawyer had a phone meeting with her lawyer, and he emailed me some of [Meghan’s] direct words,” Thomas said in the interview.

“She said, ‘That’s distant family and I don’t know those people.’

Thomas, who was 16-years-old and living with Meghan’s father Thomas Markle senior when Meghan was born, went on to call it "a slap in the face" and "below the belt."

But now, Samantha Markle, Meghan half-sister has come out in her sibling’s defense, slamming Thomas for his harsh words online.

“I am so disgusted,” Samantha tweeted, calling her brother’s words against their half-sister “disgraceful”.

“He has not seen her since she was 12.”

She goes on to claim her brother has his own issues that he needs to held “accountable” for.

“He cannot blame this on her,” she wrote.

It comes after Samantha gave an interview to A Current Affair, where the mother-of-three claimed the future royal has abandoned their bankrupt father, Thomas Markle, and said she’s disappointed with how things have worked out for the family.

Samantha Grant, who now prefers to be called Samantha Markle, explained how Meghan’s lavish lifestyle is infuriating to her, especially as their father is said to have barely any money in his own pockets.

“I don’t think he feels that she owes him but that is how I see it,” Samantha said.

“Honestly, what she could spend in a weekend would greatly help dad so that should be a priority.

“Like you know I you can afford $75,000 for a dress, you can afford $75,000 to help your dad.

“You need to step up to the plate and make sure he’s well taken care of.”

Samantha, is in the process of writing a book, The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister, which will reportedly detail their tumultuous relationship.
