Meghan Markle Not ‘Adversely Affected’ By Parents’ Divorce, Half-Sister Samantha Markle Claims

Meghan Markle was reportedly not adversely affected by her parents’ divorce, which was finalized when she was just 2 years old.

The revelation came from Markle’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, during her interview on Quest Red’s documentary “Meghan and Harry: A Royal Baby.” According to the multiple sclerosis patient, Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, and dad, Thomas Markle Sr., handled their divorce well.

“I didn’t notice that Meghan was adversely affected by that, I think to the contrary. She enjoyed having two households… She had whatever she wanted materially and a great circle of friends… I do not think she wanted for anything or noticed the divorce, per se,” Samantha said.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl also discussed Markle and Prince Harry’s backgrounds since both of them come from divorced families. But even though Markle had to split her time between her parents, she was still brought up in a loving and stable home environment.

Meanwhile, Samantha also talked about Baby Sussex and said that despite recent rumors, Markle and Prince Harry would still need some help in raising their child. The author of “In the Shadow of the Duchess I” also thinks that hiring a nanny would be necessary.

“I’m pretty sure that her threshold for stress could be quite low in the beginning. How many rooms in Frogmore? I can see them all being filled up with nannies,” she said.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Markle has asked help from Kensington Palace in finding a nanny that would be suited for her and Prince Harry’s baby. Mannies or male nannies are also welcome to apply. Markle is rumored to favor American nannies over British ones.

In related news, Markle has not spoken to her half-sister and the other members of the royal family in years. But this hasn’t stopped Samantha from commenting about the “Suits” alum’s life during her interviews. In fact, the first part of her two-part book about Markle is scheduled for release this month.
