As the world is still analyzing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey and its aftermath, the duchess’ half-sister Samantha Markle is opening up about life before and after Meghan became a royal.

While promoting her new memoir, “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister,” Samantha revealed that Pushy Sister represents Meghan, and she has been on the receiving end of backlash.
