Meghan Markle may have a seriously acrimonious relationship with her estranged half-sister Samantha Markle, but it’s a whole different story when it comes to her niece!
In Netflix’s new docuseries Harry & Meghan, Samantha’s daughter Ashleigh Hale sits down to discuss her relationship with the Duchess of Sussex for the first time — and it is a VERY eye-opening conversation.
As we reported on Thursday, the Suits alum did not hold back from speaking about the messy dynamic between her and her father, Thomas Markle, and his other daughter, Samantha. Both of them have taken aim at the 41-year-old in the media several times over the last few years. It’s been complicated AF!
Innerestingly, though, there was one Markle family member who wasn’t afraid to speak out in Meghan’s defense! In a surprising twist, Samantha’s daughter Ashleigh took part in the documentary series to open up about her very chummy relationship with the mother of two!

By the way, Ashleigh and her brother were raised by their paternal grandparents, whom she considers her parents. According to her, she hadn’t seen her biological mother since she was 6 — until they reconnected in 2007. It was around this time that Meghan and Ashleigh began to get close, too. Eventually, things between the mother-daughter duo deteriorated when Samantha couldn’t get over her anger at her younger half-sister. Describing her connection with the actress-turned-royal, Ashleigh shared:
Whoa! Sounds like they’re REALLY close! Prince Harry’s wife completely agreed, adding in her own confessional:
Oh, we just know that “sister” comment is bound to irritate Samantha! Meghan has always maintained she wasn’t close with the Diary
