Duchess’s half-sister arrives in UK and reveals she wants ‘peaceful resolve’
♦ Samantha Markle, the Duchess of Sussex’s half-sister, has arrived in Britain saying she is trying to make peace with her sibling.
Ms Markle apologised to her sister live on the Jeremy Vine show on Channel 5 yesterday, saying: “I wish things could be different.”
She said she was visiting the UK to make personal contact with the Duchess and “hopefully move forward with peaceful resolve”.
She was not invited to her sibling’s wedding to Prince Harry and has not spoken to her in several years.
On the show, she defended insulting her on Twitter, saying: “My father was being purposely ignored. We were hoping that private channels would be used. When they failed, we went public.” She also took part in a phone-in and was met with a barrage of criticism from callers. Chris, from Kent, told her: “All we’ve seen is the hate you’ve spewed against your sister.
“If you actually love your sister, I think this should have been done in private, not on social media, or going on television saying you’re sorry.”
Ms Markle replied: “Most of what you read in the tabloids is not true.”
