Samantha Markle tries to confront Meghan at Kensington Palace

Meghan Markle’s half sister has had a run in with security at Kensington Palace after she turned up to confront the royal.

Samantha Markle was photographed arriving uninvited at the home the Duchess of Sussex shares with Prince Harry – and then being turned away by security.

According to the Mirror, the 53-year-old argued with police guarding the palace gates before handing over a letter for her estranged half sister.

Accompanied by her partner, who pushed her in a wheelchair, she reportedly refused to leave the palace area and went on to buy souvenirs including masks of Meghan and Harry.

The confrontation was part of Samantha’s trip to the UK which she’s said she made in order to confront Meghan.

She had apparently given palace officials an ‘ultimatum’ in which she said she would show up to see her sister if they did not arrange a meeting.

“She fully hoped they would let her in but she was turned away,” a source said, “She handed a letter to one of the guards in the hope they would pass it on. It was a sad sight.”

Since her visit, Samantha has posted a series of tweets about the trip to London, including a sarcastic post featuring a clip from Monty Python.

She also made comments about being followed by paparazzi while in the UK.

During the same trip to the UK, Samantha appeared on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show where she apologised to Meghan.

She said she and her father Thomas would still have been hurt and not being invited to the star’s wedding to Prince Harry, but the situation wouldn’t have “snowballed”.

“I just think that families can be this way when there’s confusion and when people are hurt,” she said.

“So moving forward I apologise and I wish things could be different.”

Samantha, Meghan’s half sister from her father’s first marriage, has previously called the royal “cold” and fake, so we’re not holding our breaths for a reunion between the pair.
