Meghan Markle’s estranged sister Samantha is back on the scene and it’s because she’s sharing her thoughts on the royal exit.

“It is a slap in the face. I think what is shocking is the lack of consideration for the people involved, the British royal family, the promises that were originally made to honor royal duties and to lead by example.” She continued, “They stepped into the spotlight knowing what the duties were, knowing what the media would be like for them. If she wanted to be so private, she wouldn’t have sat at Wimbledon with 40 empty seats around her.”
As we previously reported, the couple made the shocking move on Wednesday. While it’s still unclear what led the pair to step down from their royal duties, they did release a statement sharing their new focus and future plans:
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen,” they said in their Instagram statement, later adding, “We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.”
