Samantha Grant, who also goes as Samantha Markle, is far from impressed with Prince Harry.
The Prince guest-edited BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Wednesday (27 December) and at the end of the show, he briefly discussed his fiancée Meghan Markle and their recent engagement.
Chatting about Meghan and the fact that she spent Christmas with the royal family, Harry said that they loved having her to stay during the festive season.
According to a number of reports today, he then went on to say that they were “the family she never had”.

These comments didn’t go down too well with Meghan’s half-sister Samantha, who shared her thoughts via her official Twitter account.
Samantha took it upon herself to tell her followers that Meghan had a very large family “who were always there with her and for her”.
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. No one was estranged ,she was just too busy. Read my book complete with facts and photos

She then went on to say that Meghan’s dad was self-sacrificing and amazing and the Markles made it so that Meghan had two houses.
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 always had this family,..Marrying merely extends it.

The mother of three, a former actress and model, went on to say that her upcoming book will include all the details.
Meghan’s parents, Thomas Markle, who now lives in Mexico, and Doria Radlan, who resides in Los Angeles, divorced in 1988 when she was six years old.
This edition of the programme ran for three hours and was hosted by Sarah Montague.
Harry also had the chance to interview former US president Barack Obama who made the point of saying how important it is to communicate offline and not concentrate wholly on social media.
He also spoke with his father Prince Charles who discussed his dedication to environmental issues and climate change.
