Samantha Markle has revealed that she started her feud with her estranged sister after Prince Harry said the Royals were “the family Meghan has never had” in a radio interview.
The Duke of Sussex was asked about Meghan’s first Christmas with the Royal family in 2017 during an interview with BBC Radio 4.
He said: “She’s done an amazing job, you know it’s the family I suppose she’s never had.” Harry added that his family had “loved” having the former actress, 37, around at Christmas and that the festivities were "fantastic".
In a new documentary that aired on Channel 5 last night, Meghan’s estranged sister said that was the moment the Markle family feud began.
She told the documentary titled Meghan and the Markles: A Family at War: “The first thing I thought was I don’t think Harry has been given the full story. Something was not right.
“Though we weren’t the classic family together on schedule for every holiday, we were family.”
Ms Markle went on: “Then we questioned why. Why would she be embarrassed about her family, why would you need to set the stage differently.
“It was starting to feel like she wasn’t reaching out to the family.”

Ms Markle took great umbrage with the Duchess of Sussex when she was not invited to the Royal wedding despite not having spoken to her for many years.
Meghan is also estranged from her father after he repeatedly gave interviews to the media about his daughter and their relationship.
He did not attend the Royal wedding because he said he suffered a heart attack after it emerged that he had organised staged paparazzi photos of himself before the wedding. He recently revealed Meghan had written him a letter begging him to "stop lying" and to let herself and Harry "live their lives in peace."
