Samantha Grant is a woman whose name has been showing up in the news because of her relationship with Meghan Markle, who is going to get married to Prince Harry of Great Britain on May 19 of 2018. Here are five things that you may or may not have known about Samantha Grant:
She Is Meghan Markle’s Half-Sister
Grant is Meghan Markle’s half-sister. For those who are curious, she was born to Thomas and Rosalyn Markle in 1965, meaning that she is now 52. In contrast, Meghan Markle was born to Thomas Markle and Doria Radlan in 1981, meaning that she is now 36. Given the age gap between the two, it should come as no surprise to learn that they did not grow up together, particularly since Meghan Markle lived with her mother for the most part after her parents divorced when she was still a child.
She Is Estranged From Meghan Markle
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Grant never had a close relationship with Meghan Markle. In fact, a source close to Meghan Markle has stated that the two met from time to time for family functions, but otherwise, had no real connection with one another because of their separate lives. Furthermore, the source went on to state that Meghan Markle hasn’t met Grant in 23 years, thus making the nonexistent nature of their relationship very clear.
She Has Multiple Sclerosis
Grant has multiple sclerosis, which is a serious medical problem that causes damage to the covers of the nerve cells in the brain as well as the spinal cord. Her condition is the reason that Grant is confined to a wheelchair. Furthermore, Grant has stated that her being confined to a wheelchair is one of the reasons that she started feeling disconnected from her half-sister.
She Made Some Rather Unpleasant Comments About Meghan Markle
So far, Grant has made some rather unpleasant comment about her half-sister. For example, there was the time that she called her a social climber. Furthermore, there was the time that she suggested that the British royal family knew nothing about what Meghan Markle was really like before following up with the comment that it would destroy her relationship with Prince Harry if they knew. With that said, she has also stated that she considers Meghan Markle to be her full sister rather than her half-sister when interviewed on a British program, which is a wonderful sentiment but rather incongruous with her other statements.
She Is Writing a Tell-All
Regardless, those who are curious can look forward to Grant’s upcoming tell-all, which has been titled The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister. So far, Meghan Markle has not responded to the news, which is unsurprising considering that she has never responded in public to her half-sister’s previous statements. However, a source close to Meghan Markle has essentially blasted the book as being an effort by a bitter woman to tell lies in exchange for money as well as some time in the spotlight. Whatever the case, it seems probable that the book will see a fair number of sales once it comes out because if there is a human constant, it is our love for gossip.
