Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha reacts to royal baby Archie

It only took a matter of time before Samantha Markle addressed her new royal cousin, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Meghan Markle’s estranged half-sister told “Daily Mail TV” that she knows the baby will grow up “to be an exceptional man.” Of course, Samantha has not failed the long-running argument between her, the Duchess of Sussex and their father, Thomas Markle.

“What I find incredible is that it’s historically a great moment and although the adults have a lot of water under the bridge, I’d really like everyone to make contact,” she told the outlet. “We have expanded the olive branch and now it is Meghan’s turn.”

She still hopes Meghan will contact their father because “life is too short.” Even if she never meets baby Archie, Samantha is overjoyed that another cousin joins the family team, she said.

Meghan delivered Archie early this month with Prince Harry by her side. Her mother, Doria Ragland, is in Great Britain for this occasion.
