Who Are Meghan Markle’s Siblings, Thomas Markle Jr. and Samantha Grant?

Samantha Grant, who sometimes goes by the the name Samantha Markle, is the 56-year-old half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex.

Grant has multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, and uses a wheelchair. She currently lives in Florida and has three children, Noelle Rasmussen, Ashleigh Hale and Christopher Hale. Grant was previously married to Noelle’s father, Scott Rasmussen, before divorcing in 2003.

Unfortunately, despite sharing the same father, the sisters have not spoken since 2008 due to rifts in the family. Grant even wrote a memoir, called The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister: A Memoir, Part One.

“Hopefully we can have a heart to heart,” the author told Us Weekly in November 2017. “I want her to know I’m wishing her well and there for her. At the end of the day, I want her to know that the love is there.”
