Meghan Markle's half-sister has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex often lied to the Royal Family about her past. Samantha Markle made the claim during an interview on Fox News with host Tucker Carlson, as reported by the Daily Express.
She alleges that Meghan had told the royals that she had worked at the US Embassy in Argentina prior to her marriage to Prince Harry. Samantha added that it was one of many "porky pies probably told to the royals and even to Harry when they met her".
She went on to say how Meghan was only in Argentina on a "study programme" and not for a proper job at the embassy. Meghan has regularly spoke about how she worked for the embassy while deciding to double-major in acting and international relations at Northwestern University.
Speaking on Wednesday's episode of Tucker Carlson Today, Samantha said the role was in fact an internship, paid for by her father, Thomas Markle. She added that her uncle even wrote a letter of recommendation. She explained: "Our Uncle Mike who worked for the embassy, as a favour to dad. Dad paid for a five-week study program.
"Uncle Mike threw in a letter of recommendation to be kind, even though he'd only met Meghan when she was a baby. A five-week study program doesn't equate with working at the embassy, which she told Rachael Ray and Craig Ferguson on live television. So all of these lies started coming out."
Samantha Markle also claims that she was blocked from Meghan and Harry's wedding in 2018 because the Duchess was afraid of "the stories would come out" that would 'expose' her.
