Meghan Markle's Family 'Banned' From ITV, BBC Reality Shows For This Reason

Meghan Markle's family members are not allowed to appear on certain networks.

Ed Lauder, a journalist for Daily Express, recently revealed that Markle's family is unlikely to appear on ITV and BBC's reality shows, including "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here," "Strictly Come Dancing" and "Dancing on Ice." The networks reportedly decided to say no to Markle's family because they believe it's a bad taste to cash in on their PR exposure.

"The Markles have not been shy about talking about their famous family member," a source told Mirror. "The BBC do not want to host someone on Strictly who would be so anti the Royal Family. And ITV’s top brass feel they would not give a voice to these people."

Just recently, reports claimed that Markle's sister, Samantha, will be making an appearance on CBS' "Celebrity Big Brother." The Duchess of Sussex's controversial sister is reportedly "high on the list of priority" because the theme for the next show is "Scandal." The producers are hoping that she would make more revelations about the new royal.

Samantha has addressed the reports and did not deny her interest in joining reality shows. She also admitted that she wants to cash in from those shows.

"Why not? Life is about cashing in, you… take opportunities as they arise and hopefully you enjoy the ride," Samantha said. "And you can make it as positive as you can, there’s nothing wrong with it. The purpose of that show would not be to discuss [Meghan]."

Samantha already said earlier that she wanted a TV show for their family. She believes that it would be interesting for the viewers to see them behind closed doors.

"I'm ready for it and rolling up my darn sleeves. I want a showdown!" Samantha said about taking their family drama on TV. "All these lowlifes are trying to get their fame on Meghan and all I was doing is writing a book about that honors her. My family are all pitting against each other – there's too much family drama. I’m not really interested in fame, I just want to speak the truth."

Samantha's controversial book "The Diary of Princess Pushy's Sister" has been renamed to "In The Shadows of the Duchess." According to her, she will make explosive revelations about the duchess in her publication.
