Meghan Markle’s estranged sister sets up online fundraiser asking for $20,000

Meghan Markle’s half-sister has created an online fundraising page asking for $20,000 to make her home more accessible to the wheelchair user.

Samantha Grant, 52, has previously spoken out against her actress sister who is dating Prince Harry, describing her as a “self-obsessed” social climber.

The mother-of-three admitted last year that she hasn’t seen Meghan since 2008.

Samantha, who suffers from MS, started a GoFundMe page to ask for money to make adjustments to her home.

“For years I've struggled with the inability to get around my home effectively and safely in a wheelchair,” she wrote on her page, which has so far raised $150,” she writes on the page.

“Some may think that because I look OK that I can't possibly struggle.

“The truth is that I do with spinal MS. I would just like to be able to navigate my home safely and efficiently.

“I'd like to be able to walk and undergo physical therapy but until and unless I can, I am barred from so many daily activities because my house is not accessible to my wheelchair.”

However, the page has also garnered $150 from the public but those who have donated have left some scathing comments.

“They say you are Meghan Markle's sister. If that is true… shame on her for not helping you with all the money she's making. God bless you and the laws of the universe does exist," one person said.

"Lots of good luck wishes always from me here in the UK for a new home for Samantha, I too have MS have fought for nearly 50 years no meds and too have a bungalow adapted for me," another person said.

Samantha is set to release a book “The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister, which will detail her tumultuous relationship with Meghan.
