Ashleigh was featured in Prince Harry and Meghan's documentary, where she expressed her love and admiration for Meghan.
While Ashleigh is one of the few people whom Meghan keeps close to her, Samantha has been unable to convince her daughter that Meghan is not a good person. In fact, Samantha has made it a point to malign Meghan at every opportunity.
In a recent interview with Australian TV’s Channel 7, Samantha revealed why she thinks her relationship with Meghan has become so strained.
She claimed that Meghan distanced herself from her father's side of the family, including Samantha, because they weren't "good enough" for the royal family.
Samantha also alleged that Meghan's relationship with Prince Harry is "toxic" and that she has not been truthful with the royal family or with Harry about her family's true character.
The relationship between Meghan and her family members, including Samantha, her father Thomas Markle, and her brother Thomas Jr, has been tense for years.
