“The PR machines can stop trying to make out she’s making an effort — she is not.

“This is a heartbreaking time for him and I’m very sad watching my sister ignore him.”

Samantha, 53, estranged from Meghan since 2015, said she hadn’t seen “anything so cold in my life”.

She also said that Meghan, 37, shouldn’t claim to be a humanitarian.

She said: “They work towards resolve and peace.

“But my sister disposed of the entire family.

“There is no way to candy coat something so foul.

The Sun Says

THE Thomas Markle debacle cannot continue.

How can Kensington Palace’s PR team think that forever snubbing him will help?

 

It is about time something gave to stop this sad situation worsening.

Prince Harry should step in to help orchestrate a positive resolution.

The stress on Meghan, who is trying to adjust to life in Britain, is very unfair.
