The Untold Story of Meghan Markle’s Estranged Family

Meghan Markle found herself in a difficult situation when she was told not to invite her close friend, Samantha Markle's biological daughter, to her wedding in 2018.

This revelation came to light during episode 3 of the Netflix docuseries, Harry and Meghan, which aired recently.

In the episode, Meghan discussed her relationship with her niece, Ashley Hale, and her estranged sister, Samantha Markle, who has been openly critical of the Duchess since her relationship with Prince Harry began in 2016.

Ashley Hale, the daughter of Samantha Markle, was raised by her father's side-grandparents after they were granted custody of her at the age of two.

Despite this, Meghan reached out to Hale after Samantha and Hale reconnected, forming a close bond and even going on trips together.

Hale described their relationship as multifaceted, stating that Meghan played various roles in her life – maternal, sisterly, and as a best friend.

However, things took a sour turn when Samantha started speaking negatively about Meghan to Hale after Meghan's relationship with Harry became public.

This led to a breakdown in communication between Hale and Meghan.

Despite this, Meghan revealed that the palace's press department advised her not to invite Hale to the royal wedding in 2018, fearing confusion as to why Samantha was invited but not Hale.

In the docuseries, Samantha Markle refuted claims that the media had fabricated quotes attributed to her.

However, she did not immediately respond to requests for comment from insiders.

Meghan expressed her hurt over the situation, acknowledging the strain it put on their relationship due to her biological mother's actions.

She admitted that it was painful to have such an important relationship affected in such a way.

Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, a letter written by Edward VIII to his mother was made public hours after his abdication.

The heartfelt letter, published online for the first time, revealed Edward's struggles and emotions surrounding his decision to resign from the monarchy.

In the letter, Edward expressed his support for his younger brother, George VI, who would eventually ascend the throne in his place.

The letter, unearthed by royal researcher Andrew Lonai, showcased a rarely seen emotional side of the former king, highlighting the complexities within the royal family.

Edward's words painted a poignant picture of his inner turmoil and acceptance of the reality of his abdication, shedding light on a chapter of history often shrouded in mystery.
