British Royal Family News find that it’s been several years, but Samantha Markle still feels the need to explain exactly what happened when she and her father Thomas Markle Sr. decided to stage paparazzi photos a few days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding. Here’s what she has to say.
In her new book, Diary of a Pushy Princess’s Sister: Part 1 (via Newsweek), says in her book that there was an honest reason why she wanted to stage those now embarrassing photos of her father getting ready for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.
British Royal Family News: Samantha Markle Opens Up About The ‘Tragicomedy’ That Was Thomas Markle’s Staged Paparazzi Photos
She said, “I got a call from someone offering to connect me with a photographer friend by the name of Jeff [Rayner], who promised to discreetly take photographs of my father, putting him in an honest light, because other photographers had been so disparaging, intentionally. I received no money for the deal per my request, and the goal for my father was not money, because he had been turning down $50,000 interviews. It was just allowing the Royals and the world to see him in his proper light, because he was so horribly labeled and photographed. It was like watching vultures feast. The photographer said, ‘Don’t worry, I will take good care of your dad, and nobody will even see.’”
However, the photos didn’t come out as expected and the entire plan ending blowing up in her face.
She continued, “When I saw some of the photographs, I was delighted, until I saw an article that said he ‘staged photographs.’ I nearly choked, when I saw photographs of the photographer walking 3 feet behind my father, as seen on an Internet Cafe surveillance camera. I was guaranteed that he would not be visible, and I’m sure he knew that the camera was there on the ceiling, so I felt as though I had been baited, and so had my father. I was guaranteed it would be discreet, and then he publicly allowed himself to be seen walking 3 feet behind my father with the long lens camera, and furthermore, bragged about it on his Facebook page the following day. I sent an email to the photographer, letting him know that I was horribly upset by what had occurred, and he said that he would arrange ‘something’ with my father that would make him happy, and that he would ‘fix the situation.’ The damage was done, and the thought of ‘fixing it’ was tragicomedy at best.”
Needless to say, Meghan Markle is yet to make any comments about her sister’s claims about their childhood, their past relationship and their fallout.
