Meghan's snubbed sister Samantha Markle accuses her mother Doria Ragland of 'cashing in' on royal wedding - even though she herself was paid for TV interview and is writing a book titled 'The Diary Of Princess Pushy's Sister'

• Samantha Markle has criticised Doria Ragland for speaking to Oprah Winfrey
• Meghan's estranged half-sister also accused star's mother of leaking photos
• She said: 'Doria cashed in talking to Oprah' after she was called attention seeker
• Her father Thomas missed wedding after paparazzi deal she claimed to organise

Meghan's Markle's estranged sister has today accused the Duchess' own mother of 'cashing in' hours after she reportedly demanded a five-figure sum to be filmed watching the royal wedding.

Samantha Markle, whose father Thomas pulled out of walking Meghan down the aisle after heart problems and a paparazzi deal she organised, has criticised Doria Ragland for speaking to Oprah Winfrey.

Ms Markle, who was called a 'vulture' by Piers Morgan for writing a book calling her sibling a 'pushy princess', made the claim when she was called an attention seeker on Twitter. 

She replied: 'Even Doria cashed in talking to Oprah and some of the first photos out there only she could have had'.

In repeated rants to the media, Samantha, 53, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, has portrayed Meghan as ‘narcissistic and selfish’ and claimed her half-sister had disowned her because of her disability. 

Oprah Winfrey was among the host of stars who attended the VIP-heavy wedding on Saturday.

The star, who has been touted as a potential presidential candidate, is said to have spent six hours with Meghan’s mother in preparation for a forthcoming interview.

Samantha Markle has also been previously accused of racism by her own mother, Roslyn, 72, who told DailyMail.com that her daughter would describe Meghan's mother as 'the maid because she is black'.

Roslyn of Albuquerque, New Mexico, said last year: 'When Tom Sr [Meghan's father] married Meghan's mom, Samantha told all her friends that Doria was the maid because she's black. She is not a nice person.'

She added: 'She trashes Meghan, trashes me, her dad, her brothers – she's just been trashing everybody in her life forever.

'I am very serious when I say she has dogged on Meghan forever. She has never liked Meghan and she's always been jealous of her.'

Samantha Markle, 53, meanwhile,  had claimed to TMZ that she would host a party while watching the royal wedding at her Ocala, Florida home, and hire off-duty cops as security. 

But just after dawn on Saturday, as Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex, there was no sign of celebration - and instead a television outside broadcast truck remained parked outside her single-story home.

Her partner Mark Phillips, 60, told DailyMail.com that she was taking part in a television appearance - and suggested that it was earning her a five-figure sum.

'You can't go in there,' he said. 'She is making big money with an exclusive TV interview.'

Mr Phillips wouldn't say what TV network paid Samantha for her expertise on her estranged sister, who didn't invite her to her big day in London.

Neither did Phillips say how much she was paid, but his eyes lit up when he was asked if it was $25,000.

Asked how many people the 'party' involved, he said there were eight people - he, Samantha, and the six-strong crew.

'I'm taking her next week where nobody knows us,' he said. 'We haven't slept in days. We haven't been in peace.

'There have been more paparazzi at the house than I have neighbours,' he said. 'It's been a constant hassle'.

Markle said she had encouraged her father to do a deal with paparazzi claiming he had been treated 'shabbily' by the media. 

Although uninvited to the big day, she has been repeatedly discussing it on TV and celebrity website TMZ, and has even vowed to write a tell-all book about their fractious relationship.
