Half‑Sister of Meghan Markle Teases a Guest Spot on Celebrity Big Brother
Last week, back‑stage buzz around the newly crowned Duke and Duchess of Sussex got a hair‑raising twist. Samantha Markle, the half‑sister of Meghan, floated the idea that she might drop in on the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother this summer.
“Why Not?” She Says
When a panel on ITV’s Good Morning Britain asked if she was really planning to join the show, Samantha was breezy. “I’ve been in media most of my life. Why not?” she said. “Why would I stop living for a slot over the family drama?” She shrugged it off as just another media gig, refusing to be put in the spotlight for her family gossip.
Keeping the Trap Closed
When pressed again, Samantha’s response had a strange mix of sarcasm and humor. “Urm… well, I’ll tell you, but then I’d have to kill you,” she joked, meaning she didn’t want to get embroiled in a “lock‑in” situation. She confessed she’d rather stay out of the drama‑hued “locks and stocks” than fill a five‑minute spot on a reality show.
Parents’ Make‑Up Mission
Beyond the potential Big Brother cameo, Samantha’s real heart was on her father, Thomas Markle, who skipped Meghan’s high‑profile wedding and sent mixed signals afterward. She rallied ITV for a family reunion, stressing the need for both sides to reconnect.
- “They should reunite. It matters to everyone, to our family, to the world.”
- “He’s worried because we’re so far apart and can’t talk live. All he needs to know is we’re laughing, happy and getting our bases checked.”
While the show’s aired in August on Channel 5, Senator Markle’s “Would‑you‑join‑me?” and heartfelt plea keep the conversation alive.
Upcoming Royal Drama
Meghan and Harry have been steering the D‑U‑S life while holding on to their second‑in‑command role on the throne. Their palace base remains at Kensington Palace, chewing the Londonite crust with all the “Duke and Duchess” vibes.
