Samantha Markle has hit out at her half-sister Meghan on Australian TV, describing her new Netflix documentary as a “flopumentary”.

In the third episode of the series, which was released on Thursday night, Meghan finally addressed the ongoing drama with her father’s side of the family, including his daughter, Samantha.

The Duchess of Sussex claimed Samantha was “suddenly everywhere” when her relationship with Harry went public.

“I don’t know your middle name, I don’t know your birthday, you’re telling these people you raised me and calling me ‘Princess Pushy’?” Meghan said, bewildered by her relative’s comments about her in the press.

Samantha was scathing of Harry and Meghan during her Sunrise appearance.

Addressing the comments on Seven’s Sunrise, Samantha branded Harry and Meghan as “ridiculous”.

She specifically called out Meghan’s claim in the documentary that she’d had to uninvite her niece, Ashleigh – who is Samantha’s daughter – to the Royal Wedding so as to avoid having her mother there.

“It was really surprising to hear that there was a narrative spun that she was uninvited because of something to do with me,” Samantha told Sunrise.

“Well, I heard from a royal insider that knows that that (decision) was up to Meghan. So Meghan lied to my daughter, which made my daughter, I think, begrudge me a little bit and think it was my fault.

“This was at the beginning, remember, when everybody believed Meghan and thought I was a horrible person … the world had not seen the string of lies.”

Samantha went on to explain that her daughter must have felt “torn” between the two families, but that it had been based on “a lie”.

“I found out the royals did not say that (Ashleigh could not attend), Meghan said that. Meghan then lied to my daughter and made my daughter feel like there was something wrong with me that prevented her from going to the wedding,” she said.

“What a horrible lie, what horrible manipulation. I’m going to call it totally dishonest slop. To pit family members against each other, using lies and manipulation.”

In the lengthy interview, Samantha also denied claims she’d ever said she’d helped “raise" Meghan, describing it as tabloid spin, explaining that they’d been like “normal sisters” and she’d simply “babysat” her.

Harry & Meghan is a six-part Netflix series directed by Oscar-nominee Liz Garbus. It is the flagship offering in the couple’s rumoured $183 million multi-year content deal with the streaming giant.

The first three episodes landed around the world on December 8. The next and final three will drop in one week on December 15.
