MEET THE PRINCESS:

- BY JOE DZIEMIANOW­ICZ

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding guest list is still hush-hush.

But her half-sister Samantha Markle-Grant “would do whatever I had to do” to be on it.

So she says in the upcoming Game Show Network special, “Cover Story: Meghan Markle,” airing Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. Sweet? Or aggressive? Let’s leave it to the royal bride-to-be and her adorable ginger man to decide if Markle-Grant’s die-hard declaratio­n makes them warm-and-fuzzy or feeling like they need to add security for their May 19 nuptials.

Either way, what is clear is that people are fascinated by the 36-year-old former “Suits” actress.

The hour-long TV documentar­y, subtitled “The Prince and the Game Show Model,” promises a “unique glimpse” into Markle’s life before her royal love story.

On deck are interviews with the soonto-be duchess’ former co-workers from Humphrey Yogart, a frozen yogurt shop in Los Angeles, as well as “Deal Or No Deal,” where Markle paid the bills by being a briefcase girl.

Larry King adds his two cents, too. He interviewe­d Markle in 2013 (she gave him a calligraph­y lesson) and Princess Diana. He speaks of the women’s similariti­es.

The most in-depth interview is with Markle-Grant though, who has the same father as Markle and is writing a book about her life. She denies reports of being on the outs with her famous half-sis in the doc. “I’m not estranged,” she insists. “By natural course of life and geography, I’ve been away.”

Markle-Grant sees great things ahead for Prince Harry’s fiancée, predicting, “I think together that she and Harry will be quite the dynamic duo.”
