Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha has slammed the royal’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, claiming ‘the truth was totally ignored and omitted’. Samantha Markle, 56, said Meghan’s claim that she grew up as an only child and barely knew her estranged sibling was ‘delusional’. She suggested her ‘lies’ could be a sign of a ‘narcissistic personality disorder’. ‘I am not diagnosing her, she needs to get a counsellor,’ she told Australian Radio show Fifi, Fev and Nick. It comes as mental health charities hit out at those questioning and mocking Meghan’s mental health struggles. The former Suits actress revealed she considered taking her own life due to the abuse she suffered after joining the royal family when she sat down with Oprah for a two-hour long interview. Meghan opened up about her relationship with Samantha after being asked about her tell-all memoir, ‘The Diary of a Princess Pushy’s Sister Part 1’. Samantha Markle said it was not true that Meghan didn’t know hwe (Picture: Inside Edition) The duchess told Oprah: ‘I think it would be very hard to tell all when you don’t know me.’ She then referred to herself as ‘an only child’ and claimed that the last time she saw Samantha ‘must have been at least 18, 19 years ago’. Samantha disputed this in a separate interview with Inside Edition. She said: ‘I don’t know how she can say I don’t know her and she was an only child. We’ve got photographs over a lifespan of us together. So how can she not know me?’ The US broadcaster showed four images of Meghan and Samantha together during the clip. Two were from when the duchess was a baby, another from when she was a small child and the last and most recent from Samantha’s graduation, 13 years ago in 2008. Samantha also disputed Meghan’s claim that she only changed her surname back to Markle after the royal struck up a romance with Harry in 2016. ‘She changed her last name back to Markle… only when I started dating Harry. So I think that says enough,’ Meghan told Oprah. But Samantha hit back: ‘I was a Markle before she was.. Markle has always been my name.’ Meghan says suicidal thoughts were 'very clear' and she contemplated self-harm Play Video Loaded: 0% 0:00Progress: 0% PlayMute Current Time0:00 / Duration Time0:26 Fullscreen Samantha then showed Inside Edition her petition to change her name that was dated back to December 1997 and her college diploma, which says Samantha M. Markle.  She made further disparaging remarks about her sister’s mental health, saying she did not feel sorry for her and depression was ‘no excuse to treat people like dishrags’. It comes after mental health Charity Mind hit out at Piers Morgan for saying he did not believe Meghan’s suicidal thoughts. ‘We were disappointed and concerned to see Piers Morgan’s comments on not believing Meghan’s experiences about suicidal thoughts today,’ they said in a statement. Meghan said she contemplated talking her own life after joining the royal family (Picture: PA) ‘We are in conversations with ITV about this at the moment. If you or anyone you know is feeling impacted by the discussions that have taken place today, please reach out for support using the signposts in the thread below.’ ‘It’s vital that when people reach out for support or share their experiences of ill mental health that they are treated with dignity, respect and empathy.’ ITV, which runs a nationwide mental wellness campaign titled Britain Get Talking, has also faced backlash from viewers following Piers’ comments. ITV has since responded in a message which read: ‘ITV is committed to mental health and wellbeing and working with our charity partners on Britain Get Talking, which is about encouraging people to talk about their mental health. It is very important that if anyone has suicidal thoughts that they should always speak out and be listened to.’
