This bothered Samantha: “What astounded me about that was that she didn’t say, ‘I met an amazing man.’ She said, ‘I met a prince.’ It seemed that the title was the most important thing to her.” “Not a whole lot,” said Thomas, “She just said, ‘Daddy, I met a prince.’” Samantha asked her father to tell her exactly what Meghan said to him. Then, in 2016, her dad called Samantha, and advised her to sit down before saying that Meghan had called him to say she was dating a prince. Meghan studiously ignored all Samantha’s calls for a few years, Samantha says, but they did speak again at the end of 2015, and discussed their father’s failing health. In 2013, Samantha said she learned there was “trouble in paradise” after hearing “through the grapevine that Meghan was involved with someone on the show,” and that Trevor had “allegedly got close” with Meghan’s “best friend.” But the two divorced just a few years later. Meghan toyed with converting to Judaism, so blissful was the marriage, Samantha writes. Samantha did not go because she said her wheelchair would get stuck in the sand. Meghan and Engelson married in Jamaica in 2011, the same year Meghan was cast on Suits, and “everyone at the wedding was given a bag of marijuana.” Meghan allegedly replied: “There are too many cooks in the kitchen, Babe.” Samantha suggested to Meghan that now that she is making bank, she should pay back her dad some of her college tuition costs. Samantha’s first night review of that show is predictably tough: “When I finally watched, I thought Meg looked fantastic but the first thing I thought was, ‘They must’ve stuffed her bra.’ I knew there was tape up under there, or something, because she wasn’t that busty.” In 2006, she got a job as a “briefcase girl” on Deal or No Deal. In 2004, Meghan met Trevor Engelson, who she would marry.

Samantha says that Meghan had a relationship with a fellow actor on TV drama Suits, and Samantha also says Meghan was more into dating “a prince” when she met Harry than Harry the person. Samantha adds: “It was unconscionable that she would not only ignore the whole family but that she had somehow, seemingly brainwashed Harry into believing that she did not have a family, or that we were not there for her.”Īmong Samantha’s other claims: Guests at Meghan’s wedding to first husband Trevor Engelson were given bags of marijuana as gifts, and Meghan considered converting to Judaism for Engelson. Samantha writes: “The ultimate insult to the family was levied when, in an open interview, Prince Harry said that the British royal family were ‘the family that Meghan never had.’” When Thomas refused, Samantha says, Meghan asked him, “Why can’t you just comply?” Samantha claims that her father, Thomas, told her that he would not be invited to Meghan and Harry’s wedding unless he disowned Samantha and her brother, Tom Jr. The Daily Beast recapped some of the highlights of the book.
