MEGHAN Markle’s half-sister has blasted the royal bride-to-be online for inviting “complete strangers” but “no-one” from her family.

Samantha Markle, 52, tore into her sibling last night over the couple’s controvers­ial wedding guest list.

She insisted: “Out of respect and humanitari­anism, the Markles should be invited if 2,000 complete strangers are.

“Our uncle, brother, me, best friend of 30 years, nephews. At issue is not a matter of closeness. Family is family.”

Meghan’s father, Thomas, 73, will walk her down the aisle and mum Doria is expected to be there.

But Samantha’s rant suggests no other family member will attend.

Around 600 guests have been invited to the Windsor Castle wedding on May 19.

More than 2,500 members of the public have also been asked to help celebrate the big day.

MS sufferer Samantha, who is in a wheelchair, has Meghan in her Twitter profile picture.

She previously hit out: “The Markle family is looking forward to our wedding invites. “No-one has one yet. Still waiting.” Some fans suggested that the invites, posted last week, could take a while to reach America.

Samantha replied: “Well everyone is making arrangemen­ts and it’s difficult to organize everything as you can imagine.”

Kensington Palace aides declined to comment on the tweet from Samantha last night.
