Meghan Markle’s sister Samantha has some harsh words for Prince Harry on his birthday

“They say that with age comes wisdom. Let's see.”

Meghan Markle's estranged half-sister, Samantha, has issued a scathing message for Prince Harry on his birthday. The Duke of Sussex turns 34-years-old today - and while many have sent well-wishes, Samantha Markle sent a different kind of message. The 53-year-old urged the royal to "grow up" this year and help "bury the hatchet" in the feud between Meghan and her father, Thomas. She went on to tell him he needs to use the year to "grow up" and "do what Diana would want and be a man." She told The Daily Star: 

“Harry, how old do you have to get before you realise it's time to bury the hatchet and be a gentleman and extend an olive branch to our dad. “A birthday is a time to reflect on life and what is really important. Seize the moment to do the right thing.

“Not to mention the fact that William and Kate's children will soon be reading about all of this. “They will see every action and reaction. You'd be amazed what kids come across in cyberspace. “Kids will be looking to their mom and dad for guidance on how to treat others. “Ignore your whole family if you have a disagreement is not the lesson that should be promoted. “I hope this year brings you one step closer to being a mature man with an open heart and demonstrating it by communicating with our father. “They say that with age comes wisdom. Let's see.”

She added that the Duke of Sussex should "make his mum proud" by trying to fix the feud. She continued:

“Like so many people my impression was that Diana was kind, loving and compassionate… I have a feeling she might say it's best to be a man and do the right thing to fix this before it's too late. “I think she would be proud of him for fixing this.”
