Meghan Markle’s last words to her sister revealed: Actress 'got too busy to keep in touch'
Meghan Markle’s half sister Samantha Grant has spoken out about her estrangement from Prince Harry’s fiancé. She claims she has not heard from Meghan in three years. Meghan and Harry announced their engagement in November last year and will have their wedding in May.

Meghan Markle was called out by her sister for wearing a £56,000 dress for her official engagement portrait with Prince Harry.
She stunned in a semi-sheer £56,000 Ralph & Russo dress with gold father detailing.
However, her sister criticised her for wearing the pricey gown while her father struggles financially.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will marry in May, but one of the Suits actress’s own family members has revealed she has no idea if she will be invited to the royal bash.
Samantha Grant, 53, is the half sister of the LA-born future royal, and the siblings share a father, Thomas Markle.
Now Samantha has revealed her heartbreak at her estrangement from the actress, who she claims was “too busy” to speak to her.
She has now beseeched the actress to forgive her after negative comments she made on Twitter.
Meghan Markle’s last words to sister: Suits actress ‘too busy’ for family
The Floridian told the Mirror she last spoke to Meghan at the end of 2014.
Samantha said: “Her last words were, ‘I love you, babe. I’m really glad we had this conversation. Keep in touch’.
“And she couldn’t – she got busy. I tried. But I think she just got really busy.”
Samantha added she will be hurt if she doesn’t get an invite to the royal wedding.
She said: “That’s her day. It’s her special moment. And I would love to be a part of it. But, I think, possibly she might also understand that it’s not easy for all of us to get there. But if we can, we will.”
Just this week Samantha criticised Meghan’s choice of dress for her official engagement photos.
She said on the Wright Show: “If you can spend $75,000 on a dress, you can spend $75,000 on your dad.”
Samantha told how she had asked Meghan to give some of her acting money to their father, but that Meghan had told her: “There are too many cooks in the kitchen, babe.”
Samantha recently slammed Prince Harry after he claimed that Meghan’s Christmas with the royals gave the chance to spend the festive season with the “family she’s never had”.
Prince Harry said in a Radio 4 interview yesterday: “I think we've got one of the biggest families that I know of, and every family is complex as well.
"No look, she's done an absolutely amazing job. She's getting in there and it's the family I suppose that she's never had."
Samantha tweeted: “Actually she [Meghan] 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.”
Meghan Markle’s family is large, as her father was previously married and had children before meeting her mother.
Fifty-year-old Thomas Markle Jr, Meghan’s half brother, has stood firmly by his sister’s side during her rise to fame over her Harry relationship.
Thomas Jr’s ex-wife Tracy Dooley has said that he is so “happy and proud” of his half-sister and wants the best for her.”
