Meghan Markle’s distant half-sister, Samantha Markle, is launching a “tell-all” – and her father is looking forward to it.
“I am delighted that she has completed this book,” Thomas Markle told Us Weekly on Friday. “We will let her talk to you about the book.”
Samantha, 56, announced that she was writing a book after the former American actress became engaged to Britain’s Prince Harry in November 2017. According to the vehicle, Samantha confirmed in December 2018 that she was dividing her book into two parties.
The book, entitled “Princess Pushy’s Sister’s Diary, Part 1”, claims to expose “hidden truths” about the family.

“In the midst of a storm of fake news and media chaos, Samantha Markle shares the truth about her life and family against all odds and ultimatums, while a real fairy tale falls from the tea towels,” says the book’s official description .
“Sometimes the truth is really stranger than the fiction,” he added.
The book, due for release on January 17, is already listed as a best seller at Barnes & Noble.
The brothers, who have different mothers, have been separated for years. Shortly after Markle, 39, and Harry, 36, were married in May 2018, Samantha was seen at Kensington Palace trying to give the guards a letter to the Duchess of Sussex.

Samantha, as well as representing the former “Suits” star, did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.
Thomas, 76, and Markle also have a strained relationship. Before the royal wedding, he was caught displaying pictures of paparazzi. And while the former Hollywood lighting director was supposed to take his daughter to the altar, he announced, days before the ceremony, that he would no longer be able to attend after suffering a heart attack.
Harry’s father, Prince Charles, took his place.
The relationship continued to deteriorate after Thomas continually gave interviews in which he criticized his daughter, as well as the royal family. Samantha also openly criticized the duchess. The problematic relationship was reported by the British and American press.

In several interviews, Thomas stated that he had no way of contacting his famous daughter directly.
In May 2019, True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen told Fox News that the Markle family has a long way to go before their relationship with the star can be repaired.
Bullen is an executive producer who has been making shows about the British royal family for almost 20 years and has worked closely with Charles, 72, for eight.
“How can [the Markles] notice what they did? “Mullen said at the time.” This is very complicated. Thomas and Samantha have been talking to the press non-stop. Meghan even tried to speak to her father. Instead, they decided to make these letters public. I would say that this is very complicated. “

“We even interviewed Samantha recently for a show and she believes it won’t be fixed anytime soon,” continued Bullen. “And as for Meghan and Harry, the focus is on [Archie]. The Markles are certainly at the bottom of the list. “
