Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha Grant has hit back, after Prince Harry suggested that the Royal family are the family Meghan “never had”.

The Prince edited BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Wednesday, and spoke about his American fiancé Meghan spending her first Christmas with his family.

“I think we’ve got one of the biggest families that I know of and every family is complex as well. She’s done an absolutely amazing job, she’s getting in there and it’s the family that I suppose she never had,” he said.

His comments appear to have riled Meghan’s half-sister Samantha, who shares the same father as her, as she took to Twitter to slam Prince Harry’s remarks.

 “Actually she has a large family who were always there with her and for her. Our household was very normal and when dad and Doria divorced, we all made it so it was like she had two houses,” she tweeted.

“No one was estranged, she was just too busy. Read my book complete with facts and photos.”

The book she’s referring to is called The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister.

“Meg’s family (our family) is complete with sister, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and the glue of our family, our amazing completely self-sacrificing father. She’s always had this family… marriage merely extends it,” she added.

Someone also tweeted Samantha that Harry’s remark was “tactless”, to which Samantha replied, “She has a large family. She always did. Our dad is amazing and completely self sacrificing. We made it so that she had two houses. How fun it was!”
