Samantha Markle calls Meghan and Harry's Christmas card 'sad' and 'rude'

She’s the controversial extended member of the royal family who has slammed the Duchess of Sussex at every opportunity.

And now Samantha Markle has hit out at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s engagement card, calling it ‘sad’ and ‘rude’.

The 34-year-old Duke and 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex released their Christmas card on Friday night, which showed them outside Windsor Castle on the night of their May 19th wedding, with their backs to the camera.

Fireworks lit up the night sky as newlyweds Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stood with their arms around each other.

And while it might have seemed like an adorable couple shot to us, the Duchess of Sussex’s half-sister, Samantha Markle, claims it’s ‘rude’ the royals decided to use a photo where their backs were turned.

“Interesting that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have their backs turned,” Samantha started her rant on Twitter.

“Is this towards the world or just the Ragland and Markle family?

“It’s a bit sad. Face the Christmas spirit.”

She later went on to further explain her criticism of the photo and lashed out at those who didn’t agree with her.

“It’s incredibly rude to turn your back in a Christmas photo that is meant to share warmth and good wishes with the world.

“Those that criticise me for pointing out the truth, need to get that brown stuff off their noses. I hear the world’s smallest violin playing.”

Meghan Markle and her half-sister have had a tumultuous relationship over the years and ever since the Suits star’s relationship with Prince Harry was made official, Samantha has publicly called the now Duchess a ‘self-obsessed social climber’.
