Meghan Markle’s family ‘in talks to star in a reality show like the Kardashians’
Half-sister Samantha Grant has reportedly been offered a bumper pay deal
MEGHAN Markle’s family are reportedly in talks to star in their own reality show.
In a fresh blow to the Duchess of Sussex, her half-sister Samantha Grant is thought to be in negotiations with American cable channel Bravo.
Producers are said to have offered the 53-year-old a “bumper pay deal” and they are keen to get Meghan’s dad Thomas, 74, involved.
A source told the : “They want something that is similar to Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”
The claims are certain to deepen the rift with Samantha, who last spoke to Meghan in 2015.
If Thomas were to go along with the plans, it would also dash any hopes he may have of a reunion with his royal daughter.
The former lighting director says he has been “frozen out” by Meghan and Prince Harry after missing their wedding in May.
Thomas upset Meghan by staging paparazzi photos in the run up to the big day, although a heart operation was the reason given for his non-attendance.
Last month, Samantha said she feared Thomas would "die of sadness" if he didn’t see Meghan again.
Samantha said: “I’m desperate for Meghan to meet up with Dad when she’s back. If she doesn’t it would be really cruel and hurtful and would break his heart.
“I speak to him every day. He’s very sensitive and I see his health suffering as a result of this. I hope they can meet in a quiet place, spend some quality time together and gain closure on what’s been an incredibly sad time for him.
“If they don’t I’m worried he’ll die of sadness. I just want her to get in touch before it’s too late. Life’s short – neither of them deserves to be left with the consequences.”
In an interview with The Sun, Thomas compared the Royal Family to Scientologists because of their “cult-like” secrecy.
He has also claimed that Princess Diana would have “loathed” the way he was being treated.
