Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister has revealed a story the Duchess had often repeated to the Royal Family about her past is not actually accurate.
She said that Meghan was only in Argentina on a “study programme” and not for a proper job at the embassy.
Since 2013, Meghan has often talked about how she worked for the embassy while deciding to double-major in acting and international relations at Northwestern University.
Speaking on Wednesday’s episode of Tucker Carlson Today, Samantha said the role was in fact an internship, paid for by her father, Thomas Markle, with her uncle writing a letter of recommendation.
She explained: “Our Uncle Mike who worked for the embassy, as a favor to Dad. Dad paid for a five-week study program.”

Harry attending US event charging 1k a ticket proves ‘attacking’ royals is ‘big business’
Harry has come under fire after it was revealed the Duke is scheduled to speak at an “immersive two-day summit” for business leaders where tickets cost an eye-watering $995. Responding to the announcement, Washington-based royal commentator Nile Gardiner wrote on Twitter: “Attacking the Royal Family is big business for Harry.”
Meghan’s half-sister continued: “Uncle Mike threw in a letter of recommendation to be kind, even though he’d only met Meghan when she was a baby.
“A five-week study program doesn’t equate with working at the embassy, which she told Rachael Ray and Craig Ferguson on live television.
“So all of these lies started coming out.”
One of the earliest examples of Meghan publicly discussing her time in Argentina was in a June 2013 interview with Marie Claire, where the former Suits star said: “I had always been the theater nerd at Northwestern University.
“I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliché—a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress.
“I wanted more than that, and I had always loved politics, so I ended up changing my major completely and double-majoring in theater and international relations.
“By my junior year, I had finished most of my credits, and I applied for an internship at the US Embassy, so I ended up working in the embassy in Buenos Aires for a few months.”

Samantha Markle added that she was blocked from Meghan and Harry’s wedding in 2018 because her half-sister was afraid that “the stories would come out” that would expose her.
She disparaged what she saw as Meghan’s attempt to portray her own family as divided or distant, adding: “We pretty much grew up as a normal family.
“My brother and I were older siblings. When she was born, she was brought home from the hospital to our house.”
“We weren’t a family apart, any more than any other normal family. I had my apartment and a job, my brother had his. But we were still only 10 minutes away from Meg.”
