Former Actress,Meghan Markle's Half SIster Calls Her Out Again For Not Taking Care Of Their Dad,Says Her Humanitarian Work Is 'Exploitative'



In an  interview, Samantha Markle said the Suits actress' aid work "feels just like a photo opportunity".

The 53-year-old again slammed her estranged relative for not making the welfare of their poverty-stricken dad, Thomas Markle, "a priority".

Meghan - due to marry Prince Harry in May -has travelled across the world to carry out outreach work including trips to Rwanda to support a clean water campaign and to India to demand better education for girls.





But speaking to A Current Affair, an Australian current affairs programme, Samantha said she was unsure about the motive of some celebrity figures who visit destitute places "wearing impeccable clothing".

She said: "I've seen in my lifetime a lot of situations wherein celebrities visit a place that is poverty stricken and they’re wearing impeccable clothing, they themselves are wealthy, and it really feels like just a photo opportunity.

"So that is a little exploitative in my mind."

The writer, also known by the surname Grant, has also told Prince Harry's fiancee to "step up to the plate" and help their bankrupt father rebuild his life.

Samantha even suggested the future royal's engagement dress was an extravagance which proved she could support the retired lighting director, who lives a reclusive life in Mexico.

She told interviewer Lauren Golman: "I don’t think he feels like she owes him, but that is how I see it. If you can afford $75,000 (£53,500) for a dress, you can afford $75,000 to help your dad. That’s how I feel, that’s who I am.

"Honestly what she could spend in a weekend would greatly help dad. so that should be a priority. I think you need to step up to the plate and make sure he is well taken care of."

Thomas, who is expected to walk Meghan down the aisle when she marries Harry at Windsor Castle, is said to have just a few hundred dollars to his name.

Samantha, one of two children Thomas had before he met Meghan's mother Doria, said the future Royal "owes" her father for helping her launch her successful acting career.

Last month, in an interview with TV show The Wright Stuff, Samantha again accused her half sibling of not helping Thomas out financially.

Kensington Palace did not wish to comment on the interview.

Ikoyi whistleblower not stable to receive N860m reward, he may become mad’ – Sagay

Image
Here’s what he said; “What I gathered from my inquiry is that the man is not sufficiently stable to receive such a huge sum of money. . He is like someone who will almost run mental when he gets the money and will use it in an irresponsible manner, attracting not only undesirable people but even danger to himself,” Sagay told PUNCH. . “I think what they wanted to do for him was to provide counsellors. Not just counsellors for character and mental situation but counsellors who would be like consultants that would help him to really invest the money and plan in such a way that he doesn’t throw it away in five minutes. They are trying to help him. Nobody is denying him anything. They are trying to help him but he just misunderstands the intention and like everyone that has been deprived for a long time, he is so desperate to have it but from what I can see, if they just give him everything, it won’t last more than a month or two because so many people will start finding ways to get ...
