Samantha Markle’s dramatic message to Meghan
Meghan Markle's estranged half-sister, Samantha, has offered up a different sort of message to the Duchess– a letter of love.
The 53-year-old, who has been a vocal critic of her “narcissist and selfish” sibling, often taking to tabloids and chat shows to criticise her, has issued a public apology for her behaviour over the past few months.
Speaking to DailyMailTVDailyMailTV Markle, who resides in Ocala, Florida, said she was “really sorry for the asinine things” she’s said about the Duchess of Sussex.
She apologised for “any past tension and confusion and misunderstandings”, and stated that she just “wanted things to work out” for her and Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle Jnr.

The former actress then went on to congratulate her sibling and her husband, Prince Harry, on the pregnancy of their first child.
"This is just a great time for you guys and Meg, I love you,” she said.
"Congratulations to both of you. Let's just let it all go and you two be wonderful happy parents—I'm so happy for both of you."
Markle’s warm words are in a different direction from the way she initially reacted to Meghan’s pregnancy.

Markle spoke bluntly about the omission of Thomas Markle Jnr from official statement about the pregnancy from Kensington Palace.
"I would hope that for the sake of the baby the family, the world and my dad, that leaving him out of the statement was not intentional. I hope my dad is included at a proper time," she said.
"If he is excluded, I won't be happy. It is in the best interests of the baby for my dad to be included.”

Markle Snr, a former Hollywood lighting director has been estranged from his daughter, 37, since her royal wedding on May 19.
It was revealed Thomas had colluded with his older daughter Samantha, Meghan’s half-sister, to stage paid paparazzi photos ahead of the event. He also suffered heart problems that prevented him walking Meghan down the aisle.
