I rarely say this, but I agree with Piers Morgan.
Morgan, a controversial (and very opinionated) media figure who's made an enemy of just about everyone, grilled Meghan Markle's estranged half sister, Samantha, when she appeared on "Good Morning Britain."
Samantha, 53, is the oldest of Thomas Markle, Sr.'s three children. Her only claim to fame is criticizing her younger sister, who she reportedly hasn't spoken to in 10 years.
Samantha’s latest attempts to stay relevant see her defending Thomas’s staged photoshoot, in which a photographer captured him in a series of pics doing “normal” things in Mexico to prepare for the royal wedding.
During this morning’s satellite interview, Samantha attempted to take a dig at the media for causing her father undue stress. She was in the middle of accusing “media vultures” of painting her father in an unflattering light, when Morgan stopped her.
"There’s no bigger media vulture with this wedding than you, is there, Ms. Markle? You've been trashing her [Meghan] for two years, you little vulture."
Samantha tried and failed to come up with a biting response deflecting blame for her attention-seeking onto others.
Back in 2016, Samantha told the Sun that Hollywood had changed Meghan. "I think her ambition is to become a princess," Samantha said, adding that Meghan was a "social climber" whose "lack of emotional and financial support" for Samantha and their father would disappoint the royal family.
After details of the staged shoot emerged, Samantha publicly accepted blame for the whole ordeal.
Samantha appeared on "Loose Women" to explain that she suggested to Thomas that he show the world that he was getting in shape and staying healthy ahead of the wedding.
"It was my suggestion that to benefit him and to benefit the royal family that everyone looked good and they depict you as you are – in shape and doing healthy things.”
In the wake of the photoshoot, Thomas has reportedly gone back and forth on his decision to walk Meghan down the aisle. Yesterday he told TMZ that he wanted to save his daughter the embarrassment and skip the wedding. Today, he said he wants to go, but needs to get the all-clear from doctors following stress-related chest pains.
Will he? Won’t he? Stay tuned, I guess? In the meantime, watch Morgan chew out Samantha, who may just be the world's most delusional relative.
