Inside Meghan Markle's sister's tell-all book
When you’re dating a member of the royal family there’s never going to be a shortage of people coming out of the woodwork to cash in on the situation, should it should be no surprise that Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister Samantha Grant is now writing a book about her sibling.
The 52-year-old has reportedly been shopping the book around to publishers with a working title of The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister, which is focusing on race.
The pitch that was written in April, reads: "When my bi-racial sister was born, I would be forever ‘colour blind. If only I could predict the media frenzy and racial slurs that would occur as a direct result of my beautiful baby sister possibly becoming the first bi-racial princess or duchess in royal history.
"Little did I know that I would stand looking back over my shoulder at how far we’ve come in the world towards true multiracial and multicultural appreciation, contrasted with how far we have to go in our evolution towards Dr. Martin Luther King’s Dream."
The synopsis that was sent out to potential publishers also makes for an interesting read, with Grant saying her book, "Illustrates the evolution of my bi-racial lens since my birth in the '60s, the bigoted underpinnings in my own family that echoed in my mind as a child while I defended (the idea) that there is no such thing as ‘colour,’ only fear and hatred that people like my own grandmother were taught in the uneducated and insecurity-based pockets of America and the world."
Grant has had some pretty controversial things to say about Markle in the past including, “Hollywood has changed her. I think her ambition is to become a princess,” and, “The truth would kill her relationship with Prince Harry.”
The Suits star has been in the news this week, photographed on multiple occasions with Prince Harry as they enjoy the Invictus Games in Toronto.
