AceShowbiz - What truce? Meghan Markle's half sister Samantha Markle is back at it again, slamming the Duchess of Sussex on her social media account. This time, Samantha is taking issues with Meghan's recent speech at the University of the South Pacific’s campus in Fiji during her and Prince Harry's royal tour.
In the speech, the pregnant royal talked about how she put herself through college at Northwestern University using work-study and financial aid, something that Samantha called a big lie. "Dad paid her college tuition! She forgot the most important part of her speech and there are receipts to prove it," she wrote in a now-deleted Twitter post. "I love my sister but this is ridiculous. You can't lie like this, Meg! Delusionally absurd."
Samantha further claimed that her father, Thomas Markle, spent a fortune on Meghan's education, from the time she was in elementary school at L.A.'s exclusive Little Red Schoolhouse to her high school years at private Catholic school Immaculate Heart. She added that Thomas aid for her tuition to an university in Chicago.
"Stop the enabling!" read another tweet by Samantha. "Do not ever reward a lie it does not matter how fluffy it is! It is wrong and there is no force on the planet that will take this away from my father. She should inspire women with the truth and with gratitude! Roll [sic] model thankfullness and truth, not lies."
"Our father paid for her education. This speech is not true," she further said while tagging the Twitter account of Prince William and Kensington Palace as well as attaching the news of Meghan's speech.
In the Tuesday, October 23 speech, Meghan told the crowds, "As a university graduate, I know the personal feeling of pride and excitement that comes with attending university, from the moment you receive the acceptance letter to exams you spend countless late nights studying for."
She continued, "I am also fully aware of the challenges of being able to afford this level of schooling for many people around the world, myself included. It was with scholarships, financial aid programs and earnings from a job on campus that went directly towards my tuition that I was able to attend university and without question it was worth every effort."
The attack comes just a week after Samantha said that she would put everything in the past for the sake of Meghan's pregnancy. "It's so important that everybody put their egos aside. Meghan's done some things with my dad, but in my heart, I love her and I want her and the baby to do well," she told DailyMailTV.
She also expressed her happiness for the baby news. "This is just a great time for you guys and Meg, I love you. Congratulations to both of you. Let's just let it all go and you two be wonderful happy parents -- I'm so happy for both of you," Samantha remarked.
