Samantha Markle reacted to the first batch of episodes of ‘Harry & Meghan’ as she appeared on GB News yesterday evening.

Harry and Meghan latest news
In the clip, Harry looked pensive as he addressed the fallout between Meghan and her dad.
His comments came as Harry reflected on events leading up to the Sussexes’ 2018 wedding.
He said: “Now she doesn’t have a father and I shouldered that because if Meg wasn’t with me, then her dad would still be her dad.”
But Samantha, 58, admitted during her media appearance that she ‘couldn’t believe’ the claims.
“Can you believe that… ‘She doesn’t have a father?'” she was asked moments later by the host.

Samantha Markle reacts
“No,” Samantha replied before claiming: “That was all lies too.”
That was all lies too.
Samantha then put her point of view forward on claims attributed to Meghan concerning someone intercepting her dad’s phone.
She went on: “To suggest they have sent a car and he refused to get in, no, he was in the hospital with a heart attack.
“He wasn’t getting text messages and for her to allegedly say, ‘Samantha must have erased his texts’, how can I do that from Florida when he’s in Mexico?”
Samantha went on the suggest the claim is “far-fetched” and “really hurtful”.
Has Thomas Markle been watching?
Samantha also indicated her father has not watched ‘Harry & Meghan’ yet as he’s “been through too much” with his health.
She complained: “Why didn’t they get on a plane and go and see my father in the hospital?
“We have heard their stories all along. That’s what multi-million dollar PR firms do.”
Meghan’s half-brother on Prince Harry’s words
Elsewhere, Meghan’s half-brother Thomas Markle Jr claimed Harry’s words were “disturbing”.
He told Talk TV: “I think it’s horrible. The documentary is so far off on so many different levels, it’s really a little bit disturbing.
“Saying that she doesn’t have a family and she doesn’t have a father. And Harry saying that she has no father now, that’s just ridiculous.”
‘It’s lie upon lie upon lie.’
Meghan Markle’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, speaks to Dan Wootton about Prince Harry saying his wife “doesn’t have a father”.
