Meghan Markle’s Half-Sister To Dish It Good In Explosive New Memoir

In much the same vein as Godwin’s Law and Rule 34 exist (the first relating to the increasing probability of someone bringing up Hitler the longer an online discussion goes on; the second that if something exists, there’s a porn parody of it), there surely has to be some kind of theorem linking ‘fame’ and ‘explosive memoirs from some vaguely-related party’.

Case in point: Meghan Markle‘s estranged half-sister penning a tell-all memoir about her so-called royal ambition and social climbing tendencies.

Meghan is, of course, the not-quite-but-probably-gonna-be fiancée of Prince Harry, cheeky royal lad about town.

And although she’s been a household name for years, thanks in part to her starring role in ‘Suits‘, public interest in her life has skyrocketed since she was outed by the tabloids last year as Harry’s leading lady.

Now her half-sister Samantha Markle Grant, 51, who shares a dad with Meghan, is publishing a tell-all memoir with the working title ‘The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister‘. 
Speaking to British tabloid the Daily Star, she said:

“My book deals with my bi-racial family in a candid, warm, personal and socially important way.

“Maybe when Meghan is more mature and reads the book she’ll understand. Some of it she won’t like, some of it she might.”

Meghan, of course, is a 35-year-old successful actress, and not really anyone’s textbook definition of ‘immature’.


If you’re thinking that it sounds exactly like a person attempting to squeeze whatever fame and fortune out of their distant family member’s proximity to royalty as they can – well, you’re not alone.
Sam’s mum and ex-husband have apparently both slammed the book, with the Daily Star reporting that her mum – who hasn’t seen her daughter in nine years – says Sam’s merely trying to “cash in” on this new relationship, and that her ex-husband claims she hasn’t even seen Meghan in almost a decade.
Sam’s been tweeting non-stop about her book since news broke overnight, claiming that it’s not a jealous hit-piece on her more-successful sister.


She’s not mad at all.


She thinks it’s funny, actually.


*laughs, forcibly*


Meghan and/or Harry haven’t publicly commented, but are said to be a smidge worried.

“She is obviously concerned about this book but you can’t choose your family and there is nothing she can do about it,” a friend of the couple is quoted as saying.
Sam can probably kiss her invite to the Royal Wedding goodbye, though.
