PRINCE Harry’s new girlfriend is a pushy diva who is not fit to be a member of the Royal Family, her sister has told The Sun.

Samantha Markle, 51, described actress sister Meghan, 35, as a shallow social climber who loved watching him and brother William on TV — but preferred Harry as she has a “soft spot for gingers”.

The ex-model said Meghan Markle’s ultimate ambition has always been to be a princess but added: “Her behaviour is certainly not befitting of a Royal Family member.”

Samantha last night told of her upbringing with Meghan and confirmed she has been dating Harry for three months.

But she blasted Meghan, who stars in US legal drama Suits, saying she is driven by “social climbing”.

Last night, when asked about her future, Meghan did not mention Harry, but said: “My cup runneth over and I’m the luckiest girl in the world.”

Ex-actress Samantha has barely spoken to her sister since she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008.

She said: “Hollywood has changed her. I think her ambition is to become a princess.”

Meghan Markle shares new cryptic Instagram post showing good old British cuppa

AFTER her cryptic Instagram post yesterday showing two snuggling bananas, Prince Harry’s rumoured new girlfriend Meghan Markle has shared another image that hints at a Royal romance.
The American actress, 35, today teased fans with a picture of that most British of pastimes – afternoon tea, perhaps practising for her first visit to the Palace.
The image showed a cup of tea and the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle with the caption #teatime.
And in a subtle nod to one of Harry’s great loves, the teapot in her picture is in the shape of an elephant.
The prince has campaigned tirelessly to help the endangered animals.

Mum-of-three Samantha, 51, added: “It was something she dreamed of as a girl when we watched the royals on TV.

“She always preferred Harry — she has a soft spot for gingers.”

Samantha, who shared intimate family snaps of Meghan with The Sun, including one of her as a beaming toddler, said they were very close as kids.

Their dad Tom worked as a TV lighting director and Samantha appeared in TV drama General Hospital and an advert for Coors beer.

She says Meghan, 35, would call her for advice but added: “Over the years she would call me. We were not close but we stayed in contact.

“I didn’t feel a separation from her until I was in the wheelchair. The more high profile she became, she never mentioned me.”

Meghan married LA film producer Trevor Engelson in 2011 but the marriage crumbled just two years later.

The Sun revealed yesterday how Harry pursued Meghan by text after they met in her home city of Toronto in May.

She met Prince Charles on a recent trip to London.

Samantha said: “Several months ago there was some suggestion she was involved with someone very high profile.

“My father has known for five months. When it came out, dad said: ‘I knew it was Harry, I just didn’t say anything’.”

Last night it was claimed that dad Tom filed for bankruptcy in June just as Meghan, who yesterday posted a cryptic pic of two cuddling bananas, started dating the prince.

The TV star also teased fans with an Instagram picture of a classic English teapot – shaped like one of the Prince’s beloved elephants.

Radar Online reported that both Samantha and her father have been hurt by Miss Markle’s ‘lack of emotional and financial support’ since she became famous.

Samantha, who lives in Florida, told the US website site: “The royal family would be appalled by what she’s done to her own family.

“The truth would kill her relationship with Prince Harry.”
